In Europe, they're using wood pellets. Sounds like worst than using fossil fuels.

full synthetic castrol, valvoline, pennzoil, and mobil are all widely used in high stake racing sports. because it can maintain the viscoscity at wider range of temperature and don't breakdown as fast as the dino oil. They're major chemical companies that's been business for at least 100yrs.

First of all, I'm just providing mainly qualitative value so you can interpret the information how you like.
If you can track down the oil clearance of your main and rod bearing, it will likely be somewhere in the neighborhood of 0.0015 - 0.0025", the literature will suggest oil of #w20 to...
W/ ESG on the rise in the last decades, and unclear on the priorities of the automakers on MPG or logevity of engine, I would bet that their top reason to recommend 0w20 is primarily for MPG.
For our cars, I switched to 0w30 as minimum viscosity range.
From what I gathered from different brands, this piston rings replacement are not uncommon and quite wide spread. It's party due to the EPA CAFE (higher MPG cars required) mandate, causing manufacturers to go w/ low-tension rings (oil scrapers and compression). I wouldn't be surprised if they...
Bro... $5K is a lot of money for vast majority of folks. And vast majority of ppl don't get the limited edition so their car will fall in values faster. And it's rare that buying a car is an investment, it's more of a money pit. And the non-peasants are not on here... they're out there busy...
I know it's obvious but needs to be said: IG and FB aren't setup adequately for online purchasing. The risks are extremely high for scamming bc there's not an adequate reputation system in place. On the other had ebay have both reputation and arbitration systems that checks and balance.
The OP said his turbine failed, not the compressor. If it was heat issue on the compressor side, as people suggest to upgrade to aftermarket intake intercooler, how come that didn't fail?
Based on limited information, primarily on straight line racings running low 8sec, I believe it will be a competitive (or better) platform to MKIV. I haven't heard any significant negative feedback on the platform yet. I don't believe it will depreciate like the Z4 simply bc it's so popular in...
