why deviate from 10w40? 10w40 hasn’t been recommended for 20 years. New engines have tighter tolerances and require a thinner oil. But I…

Actually F1 engines use oil specs around 10w60 which is what BMW recommends for their V10. No surprise as their M5 V10 was inspired by…

Yes. Don’t bother telling us what model you have, every Honda from 1963 uses the same oil.

Non-factory production Lupo doesn't really count a regular family car but I admit 2.38 litres of diesel per 100 kilometres is impressive!

JimB replied to payless69 on Private Sale Value & New Car Sales Trends
Pretty sure VW has never built a Polo or family car that uses just 2 litres of diesel to reach 100km (that wasn't tested downhill one way).

Not worth the ROI and effort. Plus ANZ got a new CEO who has been slashing everything, including jobs.

Nope but I won't bother with secondhand brake parts (unless I upgraded and kept the old ones).

JimB replied to JIMB0 on Best Place to Get a Deal on Rotor + Pads Combo?
I'm sure if he can dismantle the brakes (not that I would recommend used brake rotors and pads), he wouldn't need a mechanic.
