Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Is that not Diesel engine oil?

 

Lots of people run it in motorcycles and turbo'd cars as well. I ran it in my STi for a while after building my motor.

 

Doing the BHLM now. Both headlights out and the first one is in the oven.

 

got one in oven? awwwwww

 

First one came out THAT oven over 16 years ago.

 

What oil did you switch from? Interested to see if your mileage improves.

 

Take your time. Don't rush it or youll have broken pieces like me

 

Not rushing, but I'm always impatient for paint to dry. That's where I am now. Heating the second one again to remove the remaining adhesive out of the channel (just finished doing that on the first).

And 10 minutes is BS. When it's in the 40s and the headlights are cold, I think it takes a couple minutes extra just to get them up to room temp. 12 minutes has been perfect.

 

Yes it is. It also carries the same certifications as gas engine oil.

I came from mobile 1 synthetic

 

Mobil 1 is crap. But yea, if you run Rotella Synthetic Blend T5 5W-30 in some turbo cars, it ended up sheering after 1k and started to smoke, so some folks people would run T6 Full Synthetic 5W-40 and it lasted a lot longer. Pennzoil Platinum (a synthetic blend) does pretty well on turbo cars too. That's what I'll be running after my free oil changes are done.

 

Those Round Table managers are real assholes.

 

Haha. It was this place called zero zero in SF. One of the best pizzas I've ever had

 

OMG. ZEROxZERO IS AMAZING. They had this Oxtail ossobuco last winter, omfg, :ucker sound:: magnifique!!!

They also have a great selection of draught beers. I love drake's stout.

 

Yea it was insanely good. I had the Oak pizza

Potato, Guanciale, Roasted Garlic, Rosemary, Mozzarella
Pecorino Romana, Black Pepper

 

This is now even more interesting to me. I have been running Mobile 1 for 100,000 miles with no problems, but wouldn't ever complain about something better.

 

Taking the pickup in to the dealership for another pinion bearing issue. This will be the 2nd time in 12,000 miles. Good thing I got the extended warranty. Makes me wonder if I just got a crappy rearend from the factory or these thing need to be worked on every 12k miles?
Damn frustrating .

Thanks,

Brett

 

Done

 

Went out exploring around Emeralds Bay and Twin Peaks up by Lake Tahoe today on the South shore. What an amazing place

 

Nice work, Jim, it looks great!
Damn, Justin, beautiful pictures! I should check that place out sometime.
