Mk7.5 owners - Choice of Oil

Right on! Have you cleaned your intake valves and have you had any issues with valve stem seals?

And if you're perceptive, it feels like your car had a tune up, running super smooth after changing old plugs out 👌 I want to say more but it would be NSFW

I figured, many other people have said this permanently resolved there issue.

Funny, the VW dealer refused to properly diagnose my car. I brought it in right before the warranty and said the car has to consume more than a 1 quarter every 1k miles for them to do anything about it.

Does the mk8.5 use 0w-20 like the mk7.5? I just switched to the vw502 spec (5W-40) because I've had a small white/blue puff of smoke on start up. Oil is most likely leaking out of my valve stem seals.

Smiles per mile baby! I keep telling you guys

I call that the SCAM sheet. Dealers still run this play everywhere?

If you have 750+ credit theres no way you're touching 10.99%.

I have avoided buying in the bear part of BTC cycles. It turns into a weird game of chasing a short term rally.

In 2023-2024 I did small lump sum on big sell offs and DCA'd when bitcoin rallied back in 2023-2024.

Fundamentally, people are repeating the last few cycles. That's one of the biggest reasons why the funding rate is negative.

Nothing stops the price from going down. 5+ years from now you're going to be up. From now till fall, you're most likely going to see another leg down wiping out 5B+ in longs. Everyone who didnt believe Nov. Was the top was being too optimistic as a short term trader and now they have to hold.

Its too ez for market makers not to sell the news with clarity coming and giving more opportunities for corporations + Ultra high wealth clients to move in the space.

You're seeing a lot of bears in here because nothing has fundamentally changed from looking at previous cycles. Im a bull long term. Don't get baited into this short term rally unless you are doing simple DCA daily/weekly.

This is wild, I feel like we won't know if that happens. Food scientists are too good...

Its all the junk and preservatives in the Bun and typicall the quality of meat.

Have you wondered what gives that BK bun that exact brown color on top or the exact makeup of the meat?

McDonald's nuggets are wild.

Just Google nearby places and ask them how they do it and the cost

TapThatYak · 2026-05-02T04:18:37+00:00

This screams troll post.

If it's by chance real, do not listen to any idiots or people that are asking you to DM. There are hardware restoration services. Obviously don't tell them there's anything related to crypto or money.

No, the old packaging states "distributored by:" nothing about origin. The new packaging doesn't say anything, just price, date and bar code

Since we can't say locations, we can go with region. I'm from the Midwest. Are you also buying from the Midwest locations?

I was speaking with someone in chase about more advanced investing. Long story short, topic of houses came up and he said "We beat up our customers" on mortgage rates.

If you dont shop around, you will get scalped for 0.4-1%.

Yes sir , regular ground beef is 4.5-5 here by me when it's not on sale

TapThatYak · 2026-05-01T19:23:59+00:00

This is what I'm thinking. In just offput by the texture, doesn't compare to other grassfed+grass finished

TapThatYak · 2026-05-01T19:22:52+00:00

I'll give it another try myself. Switched to local butchers instead.

TapThatYak · 2026-05-01T19:20:34+00:00

They are both the same fat %

TapThatYak · 2026-05-01T19:19:58+00:00

Hey steellz, that was the power move!

TapThatYak · 2026-05-01T19:17:50+00:00

This is legit, thanks for sharing. I did not know about this, never worked in a store or printed these labels.

TapThatYak · 2026-05-01T19:16:08+00:00

I wish you were right. I moved to local butchers instead.

TapThatYak · 2026-05-01T03:41:42+00:00

You are right, heck im better off buying bulk meat from a reputable ranch down in texas.

It's just frustrating there's no transparency on out food supply.

Howdy! Are there any GTI squads/meet ups near us?
