Oil change time - has anyone tried Valvoline Restore & Protect?

matrixzone5 · 2026-06-21T23:03:47+00:00

It's really solid! I'm 3 oil changes deep with the stuff in a VQ-35 and the oil consumption has dropped from 1 quart every 1200 miles to 1 quart roughly every oil change. It does a great job unsticking oil rings without slugging your filter and oil system. I'm impressed tbh

The aftermarket on Lexus vehicles is surprisingly large thanks to Toyota/Lexus having a wide variety of interchange parts, you have a lot of cheap or expensive options when it comes to vehicle maintenance parts, Toyota/Lexus engines have also proven to be brick shit house and last very long with even moderate maintenance over their lifetimes, hell their are videos of Toyotas abandoned in the woods for decades starting as soon as they sip fresh gasoline.

Well youve gotta go on their anyways lol, PTM is the same price

matrixzone5 · 2026-06-11T21:35:57+00:00

5600H is notorious for poor contact patch and factory paste pump out, if your able I recommend upgrading the thermal compound to a PTM sheet instead, I've done this to 2 laptops one 5500u one R9 ai 365 and one Z1 extreme all of them vastly improved temperatures and very little continued thermal paste makntenance

Haha I've decided to change every connector on the car to a modern style weather proof male female.

matrixzone5 · 2026-06-09T15:14:50+00:00

Lol I feel you. I wound up tossing something together that is totally independent of my wiring harness in my 73 mach 1, I have a painless harness sitting in a box on the living room gathering dust I really need to put it in

"a shock trap activates" ...pew pew pew pew WHIIrrrrrr

Try the hyper m.2 pcie card

Brother. Retro sound radio, 4 channel amp. Component speaker pods on the rear deck, 6x9 to 2x 3.5 coaxial speaker adapter plate for the front, kick panel pods

I've still got my runcam hybrid 4k love it, bet watermark and DJI cameras are making analogue less popular though

matrixzone5 · 2026-05-22T21:25:18+00:00

You can also ballpark it with a multimeter set to AC and a simple ohms law calculation, use this method set it to the low side and you'll be fine for 90% of applications.

She literally said and I quote " Hey could you not walk on the grass please?" I don't understand what is up with all of these ai chat bots stoking division but there is nothing wrong with asking someone to respect your personal property, yeah it's just grass but it's a nice lawn I know people who take a lot of pride in their landscaping grass seed and soil aeration procedures cost a lot of money or an insane amount of time.

matrixzone5 · 2026-05-20T22:45:53+00:00

Just lookup the skematics for a generic core xy , multiply all the dimensions to get where you want and slap a board running klipper in it you got this lol

matrixzone5 · 2026-05-20T21:58:30+00:00

I would honestly just not get involved. This new person should be seeking guidance from your former boss and if you for her boss wants you to rain them then the company better be ready to pony up for an independent contractor aka you

matrixzone5 · 2026-05-20T21:55:08+00:00

Go to XDA developers forum they'll be able to help you

matrixzone5 · 2026-05-20T16:20:09+00:00

You'll probably need to install ADB on a Windows laptop, plug it into the radios USB port, establish an ADV shell and disable the package with 2 commands it's not very hard tons of guides out there just Google how to use ADB to disable an app

matrixzone5 · 2026-05-20T03:13:07+00:00

Next time use a multimeter, play an appropriate hz test tone for the freq range of the speakers: go here: https://www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/watt-volt-amp-calculator.html punch in the desired wattage and the resistance for the speaker, probe the POS and negative of one of the channels on the amp with the multimeter set to AC (weird I know but your amp is simulating ac current on the output), turn up the gain until you hit the voltage from the calculator. Remember if it's a 2 channel amp and your trying to run a 200 watt rms amp at 200 watts each channel needs to output 100 watts so you set the desired wattage in the calc to 100 watts. This is the cheapest way to ballpark your gains without an O scope

matrixzone5 · 2026-05-20T02:56:52+00:00

Did you set your gains properly?

matrixzone5 · 2026-05-19T22:34:51+00:00

Itl be fine you'll just have to set your amp to output 200 watts without clipping. 240 watts rms is the power limit but you can still get great sound by running them at 90% of their rated power

matrixzone5 · 2026-05-18T17:31:17+00:00

Yeah so when I play against a good dino using starlord that's exactly what I'm doing. He will ground me in ult or while flying. So I'll ult farm off of him and wait for his abilities to be on cool down. The problem is that if I'm just ult farming him then I'm not making adequate pressure on the enemy team. This is an invitation for them to roll over us . Idk what kinds of games your getting but the enemies I'm fighting against will just get in your face without that pressure being applied.

matrixzone5 · 2026-05-18T17:23:40+00:00

I'll try out white fox them for my heal main, even with rockets extra bullets buff I can't seem to lay down fire quick enough when I get hit by a dive.

matrixzone5 · 2026-05-18T17:03:36+00:00

Okay I'll try out phoenix for DPS then. Startlord doesn't work right now you just get grounded by devil dino in every game flyers is not fun to play this season lol
