Spin on and off is the best (unless the previous retard dealership idiot spun it on so tight that you can’t even get it off without breaking) | Hobz likes a spinner?

I took my little shit box for tinting today. Nixon at street legal tint took good care of me and I was finished in under 3h for 390 bucks all in.  
Looks good all blacked out with 5% limo tint

^ didn’t touch the fronts at all. Fear of Cain and VIs in Vancouver.
Last time I used these guys it was 280. It’s gone up about 100 bucks since 4-5 years ago. Still an amazing job and I’m glad this dude is around. My old tint that they did on the Camrys is still impeccable. Even with the chihuahuas occasionally going nuts and trying to scratch random strangers next to them. Their sharp little claws still did no damage to the tint.

RMT and physio is like $120/hr now.

its hard work man.
cutting the tint precisely, cleaning the glass, removing some trim pieces in order to get it perfect, and using a hard card to squeegee shit while also using a heat gun to get rid of dimples. I was watching them finish up and honestly, there's an art to it.
Not everyone can do this.

You can only return used oil after you purchase your second kit. This was my experience, all in USD.
First kit: $73
Second kit: $68
Cost to ship used oil back using USPS from Seattle: $46
So I'll get $73 in credit back after spending $46 to ship the oil, that'd make me up only $27. IMO it's not really worth the hassle of boxing and bagging it up. I've read that people cram oil into the USPS flat rate large box, but that'd only work if your car uses 6Qt or less of oil, otherwise there's no way you're cramming 1x 5Qt + 2x 1Qt + oil filter into the large box. Others have tried. You can also wait and combine returns and ship other small items but honestly after trying it once, I don't think I'd do it again. I miss how cheap my NA Miata maintenance was. I gave the BMW LM oil but will look to see if good ol' Kirkland oil will suffice.

Is it ? Fuck. I always buy oem parts because I figure it ain’t worth the risk but Toyota oem parts is dirt cheap vs this vw stuff. Like a Toyota oil filter for my ratrolla is only 11 dollars and 8 dollars if it’s for the RX / ES. At that price why bother going after market.
Also is there any validity to this VW 508 oil standard ? It’s forcing me to buy Castrol instead of my usual 0w20 Kirkland oil just because of this lame ass requirement.

It’s forcing me to buy Castrol instead of my usual 0w20 Kirkland oil just because of this lame ass requirement. | I dunno about this VW 508 00 oil standard, but it seems to be the same as the Porsche C20 standard, which seems to be a 0W20 oil standard. With the Porsche C40 / VW 511 00 standard (for 5W40 oil), it is meant to be used in cars that have some sort of exhaust emission control / particulate filter sort of thing. If you were to use the older Porsche A40 / VW 502 00 oils, over time it is going to clog up the emission control / particulate filter, and the darn thing is apparently not cheap to replace.
Those Porsche C40 / VW 511 00 oils aren't exactly the easiest thing around to find, and it doesn't help that a lot of times the retailers / distributors aren't even aware of the difference between A40 vs C40...
If you are going to order some oil for FIY, double check on the bottles / jugs to make sure that they are the right kind that you need.

So all the crap I’ve read says it really doesn’t have any difference in blend over other 0w20 oils but it will be the first thing the dealership checks for (oil analysis) if you have a warranty claim.
Argh that jug of Castrol is a lot more money than Kirkland. I only buy that stuff for the ratrolla.

The performance even with lots of soot is the other part that Traum mentioned.

Ford started switching from timing chains to wet timing belts that also drive the oil pump.
Makes buying used ones a gamble because previous owner probably didn't use the Ford spec oil.
The wrong oil means the belt disintegrates into the oil, clogs up the oil pump, and skips timing.
Must use WSS-M2C961-A1 for 5w-30 or WSS-M2C960-A1 for 5w-20
1.0EB, 1.5EB, 2.7EB, 21+ 5.0, Chevy 3.0 Duramax all have it.
Supposedly reduces timing chain hammering and works for up to 1100HP, but really impacts real world durability.
3.3 and 3.5EB are fine.
