One place to start would be your local Amsoil peddler.

Yeah this didn't happen. I am running 0W-40 since hitting 800 miles on the car. Below is my MPG log from Fuelly. You'd never be able to figure out where I made the switch if I didn't put a red line on the graph.

This is a really good design for maintenance. It reminds me of the UPR can I had on my GT350 with the quick disconnects. Very OEM-quality and easy to service! I am very curious to see you report back with how much oil is actually collected. The consensus on these engines is that a catch can...

McGard /thread I've had McGard spline drive lug nuts on my Tacoma for about 11 years now, and they get taken off and put back on because I switch to winter tires seasonally. They aren't rusted at all - BUT - that's because they aren't damaged from misuse. Don't ever use an impact on spline...

Okay, I would not do this. You never use teflon tape on a brake system, ever. All of the connections are designed to seal by metal-to-metal contact of the flared surfaces, to include the bleed screws. The threads should be clean and dry. Teflon tape can cause all sorts of problems. It's a...

Nice, have you used it yet? It looks exactly like the CTA. We have an AGM adapter for the Polaris side by sides.

With vacuum bleeders, you never really know when you've gotten all of the air out of the system. The vacuum pulls air past the threads of the bleed screw constantly, so you just have to ignore the bubbles. I much prefer a pressure bleeder for this reason. Plus having a bleeder full of fluid...

Undoubtedly the CDV+CMC damper delete. That's when it started feeling like a manual should feel.

On 200-300TW summer tires, 10k is a LOT of miles. If you want more mileage than that, you honestly need to switch to a high performance all-season that's in the 500-600TW range.

That's crazy, I'd be PO'd.

Rotting is odd for one year old tires. Miles? What's the coldest weather you've driven in? Track events? Pics?

How do you feel about the CMC damper and CDV delete?

Perhaps, but I've heard more than once (including from folks with FK8's) that changing the factory fluid for Honda OEM made things feel worse. And heard the opposite, to be fair. There are also quite a few folks that changed a few different fluids out back-to-back, not really giving the fluid...

You claim to speak for the average owner? I have not had grinding, I'm not adding power, and I'm never going to track this car. Swapping the fluid for Red Line MTL at ~4000 miles (after break in) made a VERY positive difference, on the level of the difference that the Acuity shifter made. The...

I didn't advocate for GL-5 anywhere in that post, quite the opposite. I firmly disagree that 90% of CTR owners should stick to OEM. This is an area for improvement on the stock car with stock power and street driving.

Found in the wild: And: Let's address these together. The confusion here stems from the fact that there are two types of commonly-used LSDs equipped in factory cars, and only one of them has specific fluid requirements. There's additional confusion because there are two H-words that sound...

Redline MTL is what is in my ITS right now and it's been fantastic. The only thing I haven't tried it in is extreme cold. We didn't get another major cold snap, so I've only experienced it down to about -5°F or so. It was perfectly fine at those temps. I also only have maybe 1000 miles on...

Not just 10W-40 though. The service manual called for "straight" 30, 10W-30, 10W-40, or 20W-40 depending on ambient temps:

Found in the wild: Alright, I'm not completely sure what's going on here that led to this. Could be multiple things. Let's steel man this argument. Honda (and other manufacturers) actually used to specify motor oil as the proper lubricant for manual transmissions in decades past. Meaning...

I have come across so much uninformed nonsense on this topic. It's actually worse than the uninformed nonsense regarding engine oil, because while using "MEGA-BRAND X" instead of "brand Z™ " likely will do no harm assuming they're both API engine oils, gear oil is a much broader spectrum with...
