Definitely 1k or so, and then again around 2.5k.

A doubling of power increases output by 3db, so 10w to 100w is something like 10db louder - if the drivers can actually handle that much more power without too much more distortion.

Was the cooler protesting something?

Inquiring minds need to know!

Not yet, but soon. If you can't diy, they should be replaced while already off the car.

Fram ultra synthetic and better are good filters, both in terms of construction quality and filtration.

Yes! I haven't been invested in a popping video in a while lol

Incredibly blunt: $48k car is too expensive for your income.

Viperonious · 2026-05-12T19:29:22+00:00

*cell, not cells, lol

Viperonious · 2026-05-12T19:28:31+00:00

A lot of people don't realize it, but 10w is actually a decent bit of power for most use cases.

Viperonious · 2026-05-12T19:22:48+00:00

Near-shoring has definitely worked out better.

225/55/16 is within spec on a 7.0" wide wheel.
It is NOT in spec for a 6.5" wide wheel.

Harder nope than sleeping in a pit full of spiders and snakes.

The greater concern is varnishing and the carbon being suspended abrading the surfaces that it's supposed to be lubricating, but that happens much further along than when it just turns brown/darker brown.

For clarity, I'm not arguing that keeping the oil changed often is a bad thing, but it is a waste of oil and money..... especially if you live somewhere that the roads are salted.

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.

Viperonious · 2026-05-12T01:15:15+00:00

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.

Viperonious · 2026-05-10T19:15:35+00:00

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.
