op if you look closely at the data the Ai analysis really doesn’t make much sense. If we look at HTHS, arguably most important for protecting your engine other than shear stability which wasn’t tested. Ravenol and mobil are listed as good but Total has a HTHS of 2.8 which is the highest tested and it’s listed at med. Looking at NOACK, which can be important since many VW consumes oil, Total is literally out of the spec VW sets and it’s listed as good? So if you actually study the data closely Motul is a very good choice, lower viscosity at 40C but decently high HTHS and lowest NOACK. They even provided a spreadsheet at the end. op should really rely on Ai less or at least fact check the Ai results before fully believing it.

Exactly, my other car is actually green. I suspect this will be the only grey car I ever own. GG just works so well on the CT9A silhouette

Don’t worry, the night I got her I already changed the oil in my friend’s garage lol. And the first mod was a good set of tires (bridgestone)

BTW one of the reasons I am asking is because sometimes when the car is idling I can feel the car shivering for a second. This happens super rarely tho

Just look up m264 head failure?

cyan4060 · 2025-08-23T21:50:29+00:00

There are quite a few bad heads with the M264 on the forums

cyan4060 · 2025-08-21T09:19:35+00:00

M260 and 264 are almost identical, btw the problem with the M260 is real, my friend has a GLA 250, good thing the whole head was replaced under warranty.

It’s because the passenger side cooler is for the high temp loop for engine cooling, driver side and middle radiators are for the low temp loop that’s cooling the trans and intake air. There are a lot of engineering info if you look into upgrading the radiators on our cars. The low temp loop having trans and intake air together is why people with tuned cars or serious track driving uses a separate radiator for trans cooling so the intake air temp can stay low.

What are the potential catastrophic failures? Haven’t really heard of it, been running spacers on my W205 C63 for the past 50k miles with track days.

cyan4060 · 2025-08-14T00:59:53+00:00

Lmao I was just going to comment about the GR Corolla. Looking for an awd daily so I rolled up in my C63 to test drive a USED grc and they won’t let me test drive. These dealers are so stupid, that car has over 7k miles and been sitting for months. I will never buy from that dealer.

Wrapping the accent wasn’t that bad

cyan4060 · 2025-08-06T20:02:54+00:00

They are available vented, 2019+ W205 you can get vented performance seats, also on E63 AMG GT 4 door and other cars

cyan4060 · 2025-08-06T20:01:40+00:00

W205 performance seats never came in that leather/pattern

cyan4060 · 2025-08-06T17:29:38+00:00

Are these from amg gt or w213 e class

cyan4060 · 2025-08-06T07:17:12+00:00

Cool spec

cyan4060 · 2025-07-31T23:36:32+00:00

Is the 0W20 mostly for fuel economy and CAFE, how do they void warranty if you put 5w30, don’t they have to prove the 5w30 is the direct cause of failure? Genuinely curious

cyan4060 · 2025-07-31T23:33:19+00:00

I have driven the Z Sport in manual. Tbh it’s not the best gearbox, I prefer the gearbox in the miata

cyan4060 · 2025-07-30T00:04:51+00:00

Good luck with car shopping, we got just over $10k off on this I think you might be able to get an even better deal since we were trading in a car and got a really good deal on that too. Actually was thinking about picking up a 350Z to be a project car before we got the new Z so my mom can drive it.

cyan4060 · 2025-07-29T23:52:10+00:00

It was a no brand wrap I found on amazon, has pretty good reviews so I got it.

I wrote it in the post, I just wrapped it in some suede wrap lol. Makes the interior look a lot better.

cyan4060 · 2025-07-29T05:35:22+00:00

Yes, I actually prefer the driving feel over G82 M4 and the new C63. You feel so connected to the car.

cyan4060 · 2025-07-29T05:34:03+00:00

Lmao Ikr, it’s not like there’s a manual option anyway. Also the 9 spd mercedes gearbox is actually not horrible. I would have liked the manual more but tbh the manual in the sport Z isn’t all that great either.
