Yes, I notice the engine runs smoother. I think it is because of the 5 weight. Even though oil may be 5-30, it doesn't really get thicker, it just responds with better protection like a 30 weight, if the temp is there. So 0 would give you less protection than the 5, and therefore, the quieter/smoother the engine. I assume, that is also why a little better milage with the 0 weight but no thanks.
How is bimmer link? I heard of it, but wasn't sure how good it is.
Great, I can see where my battery is, normally around 80%, which is where BMW charges their batteries to, not 100%, so 80 is normal. I can see what the coolant temp is, oil temp in sump, and in the rest of the system. Many reading you can bring up on the screen of your phone. I use the OBD+ for the connection but it also has an app for the phone you can use but the Bimmer link has more info as it is specific to the Supra/BMW. Then there is Bimmer Code, which I also use to change some settings in the CPU.
Ah ok. Which do you prefer? Link or code?
They are totally different. Link Code is for coding only, to make changes. Link is for telling what is going on with the car. They have different purposes.
Ok. I'll look into the bimmer link. Don't really feel comfortable with the codes. It's bad enough the Supra has some issues of it's own with software. Lol
Lol. I do agree with that. I know a neighbor that works as a mechanic for Lexus my brother works for Subaru so I hear the stories. I am OCD with my Supra. If it's out of my garage for more than a day I get antsy.
