I'm just never putting 0w-20 water in my engine

the same engine was listed for 5w-30 just 10 years ago with identical tolerances.
0w-20 or thinner is a scam to make your engine wear out faster.

If a system is low on refrigerant you can just add more, but it's smarter to find the leak first.
If you disconnected a hose and completely emptied the system, you must pull a vacuum on the system to remove the air and humidity first.

>>28711540
How hard was this to do, and how expensive was it? I have a car with an AC that should work, but it's empty so it needs to be vacuumed and refilled. I'm a bit nervous to do it

Same price range. one is old one is new. one is fast one is slow

Yup, I was right, you've never owned a supercharged V8 in your life lol.

It's a one owner 2012 CTS-V from California that's spotless underneath and I'm 6'2". You would know I'm 6'2" because my knees are pressed up right against the dash by the Recaros and I'm spilling over the seat.

Cope with your gutless automatic V6 while I have a reliable manual LSA making more horsepower than all the cars you've ever owned in your life *combined*.

And it's a boost gauge you, fucking retard lmao.
>>
>>28713237
If you were actually 6'2" you would be complaining about how retarded this car is, how the only way you fit in it is with the seat reclined absurdly back, and the only way you can fit in the rear seat is with your head cocked far enough that your cheek bone is on your shoulder, because they decided to have the sunroof slide under the roof rather than on top. Anyways seethe more manlet, and take care of your car, it is fucking disgusting.

Oh wow, now you're an expert on car packaging too lmao, when you've never even sat in the Recaros, retard. You're like one of those fags who pretends to know what it's like to drive an Evo because you own a basic bitch Lancer.

Your car is a buy-here-pay-here afterthought made for Jamal to think he's driving a luxury car.
My car replaced the engine, transmission, brakes, differential, MR dampers, bushings, sway bars, body panels, tires, seam welds, and interior in order to beat the world record for a production sedan on the Nürburgring. They're completely different cars, retard.

You've already exposed that you've never owned a supercharged V8, but do you want to know how I know you've never driven a manual too?

>Picture of me waiting in-line for a car inspection while in neutral with the parking break engaged
>Retard on /o/ thinks the parking brake engaged light is a *warning* for a failing parking brake lmao
>Same retard has never seen a boost gauge in his life, and thinks it's low oil pressure too

LMAO my car is a one owner from California and 51k miles, the only warning light I've seen is when my traction control light is on while I'm doing donuts around your shitty little V6. Considering your cheap automatic base CTS will need to go to the junkyard soon, maybe your next car could be a Miata so you can finally learn how to drive a manual dumbass.

Looking for something that I can abuse in the snow. I normally drive a c6 z06 corvette that I put up for the winter and uber to and from work but I'm tired of ubering.
Looking at things like a 1995 manual wrangler with a huge fucking hole in the passenger door (3K), a 2000 silverado extended cab with front end damage (5k), or a 2006 Audi A4 2.0T with no noticeable issues. (6k)

I meant easier than ordering one through rockauto
interstate is just johnston controls batteries, and walmart are east penn/deka AFAIK
really all you are paying for with a battery these days is the warranty, and a walmart platinum AGM is 4 yrs and the costco interstate AGM is only 3 years for typically around the same price
and the fact there's a walmart in every town means it's pretty easy to switch them out

I would agree whatever the dogshit value branded walmart batteries are essentially disposable boat anchors that I would never rely on
and yeah, you could get a full set of tools from harbor freight and a jack+stands and a toolchest in your favorite color with all the extra cash

Keep an eye on your rear view mirror while you're stopped at a light. Keep a mental note of which way you can dodge out of the way if a somali with bald all-seasons decides he wants to rear end you.

Are all terrains ok for winter or do I NEED actual winter tires - esp for rough mountain roads where winter tires tend to be road biased. I'm not sure what they even expect you to do.
>>
>>28714244
The PA4 (left side) is high performance winter tire.
Its comparable to the Vredestein Wintrac Pro.

If you have a BMW M340i or similar its the best option.

The right side is a traditional snow tire. Slight edge in deep snow but its handling sucks on cold pavement.


Basically right side is fine unless you have a performance car.

It's less I need more, and more of I can afford more.Cause I dunno if you noticed, but the worst most unreliable cars to have ever been made, are also the most expensive. Mercs, Porches, Land Rovers, etc. they're all cars that spend more time in the dealership than being driven around. And that's without getting into hypercar territory where you'll be driving them around like they're supposed to be driven around a racetrack, and they'll break immediately. That's the rich people flex.That they can toss more money to the garbage than you can.

Bought a 2021 mx5 rf last year. I fucking love it more than I thought Id ever love a car. Where I currently live it handles winter just fine, but I am looking to move to Maine around the Bar Harbor area.
Do you think it will be able to handle winter that far north? Also a lot of unpaved gravel roads around there.

>>28715498
Doesn't Maine salt their roads? I'd be looking for a beater just to keep the Miata out of the salt.

>Ultra-rapid chargers deliver power at 100kW or more. Typical these are rated at 150kW, 250kW or 350kW, but the speed they'll actually deliver depends on the car and environmental factors.
>While new electric cars are accepting ever-faster charge speeds, it's usually expensive models that benefit most from ultra-rapid charging, such as the Porsche Taycan, Audi e-Tron GT and Lotus Eletre.
