    which oil to use??

    I think you're right, my BMW calls for Mobil, and the BMW dealers here only carry Mobil.

    which oil to use??

    JJ is the man IMO when it comes to oils. (JJ, if my edit in my last post is off the mark let me know).

    which oil to use??

    Thanks JJ, It says "European" on the front, and I think it's as German as I'll be able to find here, this stuff was hard enough to track down. :icon_bigg EDIT: There has been a lot of threads about oils, but quick and dirty: Most wear occurs at start up right? So why the hell would you want...

    Im throwing in the Towel..im out

    Lets see....I've had the car for about four years and have drove it about 15 times (rough guess), so that comes out to be..... 1409 days sitting, > 15 days that I've drivin it...

    Well woopy for you Matt! :icon_razz I haven't been able to driver her for over a month, I don't have A/C, so she sits :cry: EDIT: Oh yeah, Mine sat for over 3 years before getting it up and running. I thought about getting rid of it many times, and everyone told me I should too, but now I'm...

    what does 70mph, rain, and a wall get you?

    So can my father, (over 30 years) but most around here can't, but then again its dallas, no one can drive.........

    what does 70mph, rain, and a wall get you?

    Totally understandable and I realized that. I'm very blunt in the way I post, so I always come off differently than what I mean to.

    what does 70mph, rain, and a wall get you?

    Hey, no offince to you b005t3d, but yes, defensive driving. I would not have pulled in front of a speeding simi in the rain and then slowed down. 1. I know most simi drivers suck 2. I know most simis speed up going down hill. You have every right to be mad at him, and prosicute him. Like...

    what does 70mph, rain, and a wall get you?

    I did not mean to imply that it was not the truck drivers fault, but you can not drive around thinking that everyone drives safely. My point was that, a simi WILL speed up going down hill. Yes the driver of the simi was going way too fast in the rain, and will be held at fault. But I do not...

    what does 70mph, rain, and a wall get you?

    Thats because the simi needs to gain speed going down hill to help keep speed, (power to weight ratio on a loaded rig sucks) also if he would have hit the brakes in the rain, he very well could have "jack knifed". (Edit: I'm not saying the truck diver was right). I've been around big rigs all my...

    Lowering Springs?

    You will bounce around like a "jack in the box". It would be the same as riding around with blown shocks. The spring rate will be stiffer, so the dampening of the shocks need to be able to react quicker and stronger. Also the stock shock would probably bottom out, they are not designed to ride...
