I haven't driven a pre-18, so I can't speak to that car. You can read all the reviews and get an idea of what most people have experienced with the updates. But here is what I would do. Nearly all vehicles are a depreciating asset. So you are not going to ever "make money" on your car, but...
Ok, I'm joining in this fun. The OP is trying to discuss the merits of 0 vs 5. Then it goes semi-off the rails. What I have seen is that 0 "flows" quicker (though slightly) at startup. Then at operating temperature there is no difference between 0 and 5. So even if it's "slightly" better...
I'm not a chemical engineer, but I used to stay at Holiday Inn's prior to the pandemic... My understanding is that a 0W or 5W is going to flow the same at operating temps. But at startup, and ambient temp at that time (I live in IN and will have some cold mornings) the 0W will heat up and flow...
May I ask what weight you chose? I bought mine used with 5,500 miles on it and don't know what the previous owner did, so strongly considering a full switch and Amsoil Signature gets extremely high marks from the research I've done. Also, are you getting much oil in your catch can? I know...
I’m not certain on this but if you go on cars.com and pull a free Carfax report there is some serious detail there that I’m sure dealers have access to. Where the car is registered is one so if yours shows FL that may raise a red flag. Also they show mileage for service intervals. Ok if you do...
Not trying to knock them either. I’m a fan of quite a few models and strongly considered an S5 under warranty but all three have pretty poor records with warning lights. Germans can cut metal with the best. Own several of their products but they go bang or cut stuff not go zoom. Unfortunately...
Thanks and good deal just not quite ready yet and will probably go a cheaper wheel with winters. But always appreciate the art of the shameless plug lol.
I don't think anything with four wheels is "5 notches" below the Germans in terms of reliability... Like the Bimmers, Audi's and Mercs don't live in dealership garages... Japanese, yes. Features, absolutely. Reliability of the German cars ahh no. There is a reason why you can buy any of...
Right on brother, A Co. 3/75th. (3rdRGR) Long ago... Galaxy far far away... You didn't serve under a CSM Devens did you? He was my Plt. Sgt. in 92-93 and I'm pretty sure he went on to be the Div CSM at the 25th later on. If not Div. he was one of the top enlisted guys there at the time...
I have a little bit of a different situation. I have a Roush RS2, but it was optioned with RS3 wheels here:

20x9.5 square setup w 275 / 35s. It has the Brembo's and I can only...
Unfortunately I'm below the Labatt's on tap line here in Southern Indiana, so Diet Bud draft is where I usually go these days. These aren't like deep fried mushrooms. These are stuffed with sausage, cheese and bacon and are freaking phenomenal.
Think so huh? Most car salesmen make diddly squat for commission on new car sales. They make their money buy selling a lot of cars and getting bonuses based on volume. But what do I know, I just sold cars for a living as my first job out of the Army. You? Again, you paint with a broad brush...
