They recommend it for EPA reasons. Thinner oil means better MPG. Not necessarily better for the engine. And as far as using a 5 weight in turbo cars, my STI runs happily on 5w-40 all year long. From well below freezing to 100+ degrees in the summer.
That's what I'll be running too.5w-40 is an approved oil for the Supra. Page 325 and 326 in owners manual. 0w-20 is more about fuel economy than protecting the turbo and engine. My car is tuned and isn't dealing with freezing climates so a slightly heavier viscosity is better in my case.
Thank you! Anthracite plastic dip wheel kit from dipyourcar.com and did the glossifier on the wheels too. He has a couple videos on youtube that show you how which was helpful because I'm not very good at painting
Yeah the kit comes with these plastic bag brake covers that i threaded thru the spokes to mask off the brakes without taking the wheels off. Surprisingly no overspray on the fenders either!
I did that the other day, same decal, but in white as everything is black or yellow and used white on the calipers as well. On the calipers, no need to take the wheels off, easy to do right through the spokes. But, alcohol can take off the red paint, so be careful! I would use something else to clean them with before application as I dulled one caliper.
I used 91% isopropyl rubbing alcohol for my decals and all it did was get all the dirt off. Paint was still good looking.
