Thought so. FKA, FKL...I'm sure all modern OBD2 cars have something vs. Going aftermarket.

It's not crap, just not ideal in all cars/motors. My/wife's merc c300 has euro M1 0w40 in it and doesn't burn a drop. It's got 5-6k on the oil now and it's still showing full. The car isn't raced or anything and I don't believe the motor runs hot so M1 is fine for this particular car.

No, I visually inspected the plugs myself and they were awful. Which may have been caused by a mix of wrong fuel usage by original owner and the mods.

Been using M1 5w30 for awhile. Haven't burned a drop of it. :tup: My Z doesn't use oil thank god. :excited: Last oil change I which over to the Euro M1 0w40.

I am running M1 0W40 as well. :tup:

Yeah I use the K&N filter as well, but I use HP-1010. It's the same basic size, but a longer can (more filter media area). Even with a sandwich plate adapter for an oil cooler, it still fits on the car. These things sometimes change over time, so you never know if my info is out of date, but last I heard over on the bitog forums, the K&N filters are just rebranded Mobil1 filters, and both are very good quality filters. I like the K&N out of the two because it has a 1-inch sheet metal nut on the end. If you buy a simple 1-inch open wrench, it makes removing the filter a breeze.

M1 is definitely a high-quality motor oil. I don't use it myself in my track car, but I wouldn't hesitate to do so if my top choice was unavailable (I use Motul 300V, but for various reasons I'm not sure I'd recommend that oil for a daily driver, either - it's pricey and it goes bad from absorbing water faster, supposedly). I also find it hard to believe that the viscosity difference between a 0wX and 5wX oil would make any difference in any kind of leaking or burning of oil in any reasonable scenario (but who knows, I guess?). The only other thing I can remember to say about M1 is that the "Extended Performance" really is a better-quality variant than the normal stuff, I'd use it whether or not I was doing long drain intervals, on an engine you care about.

I'll grab a cookie grandpa. Although with the DM maybe not.

Someday you will grow up. In the mean, have fun. :D

I was pointing out that not all Z's burn oil. ;)

Coming from a old man trying to poke fun and get a rise out of people. Hypocrite much? :gtfo2:

You need to grow up, 'cause I wasn't poking fun at anybody. Just tell you at my Z doesn't burn oil. THAT's all. :shakes head: You're the hypocrite. :gtfo2:


:D

So any comment someone's made about me in the last week or so and you quote them with a "lol", "haha", ":tup:", etc isn't poking? Senile, dementia much? I'll refresh your memory if you need it pops.

No, I thought that some of the comments were just funny. Some people have set you up. You didn't see it coming and stepped into it. That's what I think it's funny. Everybody else can see it coming. That's from being young and inexperienced. You always got to have an edge on your shoulder, and you're thin-skinned. If I was thin-sknned. I would be up-set over the "Senile, dementia much?" comment. But I'm not. I think it's funny you took the time to see my age. You have some good ideas. But can't get them across at times because of that edge. I'm not here to bust your balls. Just here to point out a few things. So lighten up. Look at the funny side of things, and enjoy life. Because life is shorter then you know my friend. ;)

Knock it off please. This argument is over nothing.
