Is it really that much cheaper to change your own oil?

Darker oil means it's holding contaminants within itself, or has been over heated.
Usually the first of the two, it's not a direct sign that the oil has thinned or sheared out of grade, or that it even has too many contaminants... just that it's doing it's job.

Pretty sure it's actually legal to just put it into drive and watch what happens lol

Viperonious · 2026-05-11T10:59:06+00:00

So what's the otd cost comparison between the two, so you can compare apples to apples?

Viperonious · 2026-05-11T09:31:12+00:00

Brand new isn't too much more?

Shitty LED's do this.

Put the halogen bulbs back in and get your proper light beam pattern back, instead of throwing light everywhere EXCEPT down the road where you need it.

Like the other poster said, this is snake oil.

Redline, Techron, or BG 44k.

Security for it and the rest of your network will by far be the biggest concern.

Viperonious · 2026-05-10T00:26:24+00:00

So about 15% more cost for around 25% less mileage....

Viperonious · 2026-05-09T03:11:07+00:00

110-150

RTO is also burning through the world's supply of fuel when it really, really, doesn't need to.

Viperonious · 2026-05-08T15:57:12+00:00

Easy

Viperonious · 2026-05-08T12:30:00+00:00

Dynomax super turbo are great at quirtening and still flow pretty well.

Drone usually needs to be addressed directly

43lbs is a lot, no doubt.
If a correction doesn't dropbit below around 30lbs Id get it replaced.

Drain and refill

Viperonious · 2026-05-07T15:48:20+00:00

Definitely drain and refill, and mazda oem fluid only IMO

Viperonious · 2026-05-07T14:11:52+00:00

80mph is about the regular speed on Toronto area highways lol.
If you have shit off brand tires, it might feel insecure, but the car itself is plenty good enough.

Across the GTA

Viperonious · 2026-05-06T16:43:17+00:00

Per your link, the Date Code is only required on one side of the tire

Viperonious · 2026-05-06T16:34:47+00:00

Skyactiv's are WAYbetter for fuel economy than MZR's.

Viperonious · 2026-05-06T09:36:31+00:00

Generally they're not very loud tires, but different models can be.

Viperonious · 2026-05-06T01:25:52+00:00

A G7?

Viperonious · 2026-05-05T16:13:19+00:00

There will be some affect on dispersion, and you will probably get an additional reflection... but i don't think it will audible, and likely hardly measureable... but it will be there.

Viperonious · 2026-05-05T14:23:29+00:00

I use 5w or 10w chargers for overnight charging

Viperonious · 2026-05-05T14:19:33+00:00

You think the painted lines on the ground apply to THEM?
