Spart replied to the thread Eneos oil...Exactly. "MOAR ZDDP" is just a talking point for the fundamentally clueless. ZDDP competes with detergent and dispersant additives in...

More of something isn't necessarily a good thing. For example, if your engine consumes a bit of oil via blowby, that extra ZDDP is bad...

Asking the driver if he drove in 30* and below temps. Kinda crazy to see the tire separate from just a pothole. Unless he kept driving... -
Spart replied to the thread FL5/DE5 Transmission fluid reference.I still can't vouch 100% for it, because I've only put about 300 miles on the car since switching, and we ran out of cold weather early...

Spart replied to the thread FL5/DE5 Transmission fluid reference.I did not find the factory fluid to be smooth, in fact it felt like there was inconsistent and excess synchro effort. Switching to Red...

Spart replied to the thread FL5/DE5 Transmission fluid reference.Should've done Red Line or ACDelco. :dunno:

Tell me you do science without telling me you do science!

Spart replied to the thread Clutch delay valve delete analysis and how-to.The whole point of this thread was demonstrating how they both contribute to the sensation of disconnection and unpredictability with...

Completely agree with the above comments. I did the same for my FK8 and ITS with the full acuity shifter assembly and shifter cable...

Spart replied to the thread FL5/DE5 Transmission fluid reference.Quite a few manual transmissions will have a fill hole that serves as the check hole. Our cars have three, and the check hole is...

Spart replied to the thread FL5/DE5 Transmission fluid reference.Make sure you have an appropriate torque wrench for the M6 check bolt or this might happen to you. I'm guessing most people don't own a...

Spart replied to the thread FL5/DE5 Transmission fluid reference.Prepare by keeping the stock parts on the shelf instead of selling them.

absolutely true with the magnusson moss act. But it doesn't mean they can't give you a hard time or outright refuse and see what you do...

Spart replied to the thread FL5/DE5 Transmission fluid reference.If you have aftermarket parts on the engine, why does the dealer "need" to do any fluid servicing at all? Do it yourself or have a...

Spart replied to the thread FL5/DE5 Transmission fluid reference.Yes, perfect. So @johnloov and anyone else looking to set this up to fill the transmission, you would need: Motive 1735 Power Fill Pro...

Spart replied to the thread Acuity centering spring.Just get the full shifter and don't look back. Don't worry about this even a little bit. It's more intuitive to shift with the...

Brother, never used that spring. But here is the deal. If I am going to be taking apart my center console, and yes I have done it...

Spart replied to the thread FL5/DE5 Transmission fluid reference.Do you know what the threads are if you remove that? (No chance they're engraved on the fittings themselves?)

Spart replied to the thread FL5/DE5 Transmission fluid reference.Good to know. The question I had about it from just looking at it, trying to figure out a way to adapt it for @johnloov is, what the...

Spart replied to the thread Pushed Transmission Oil Level Check Bolt Into Transmission.You actually didn't say what you torqued it to. My assumption is that you just re-used the same torque value for the fill and drain...

Spart replied to the thread Pushed Transmission Oil Level Check Bolt Into Transmission.The torque spec on that bolt is 9 ft-lb, and that's below the accurate capability of most torque wrenches. I have used and can...

Spart replied to the thread Taking delivery of my FL5! ...But it's really stinking cold, is it safe to drive home?.Awful advice. It's not the distance. If you drive 5 miles or 100 miles, that first few miles are going to be what warms up the tires...
