Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

14 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My oil indicator just told me that I am slightly low. I am not sure the exact oil my mechanic used for the last oil change. I always have Mobil 1 0w-40 (Use in both my VW's and I approved for the Porsche). Is it OK to add this to the car? PLEASE IGNORE THIS THREAD I am just blind. I read the receipt papers again and it says Mobil 1 0W-40. As i get older, I get dumbererer.

POST 2Original post

OH BOY, another oil thread! I predict this wil go at least 3 pages!

POST 3Original post

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

yea yea yea. you guys love busting my *****. I do agree with you, some of these threads do go on for years!!! at least this is not a case of "What Oil Should I use?" This thread is a better example of "Where do I find a good optometrist?"

POST 5Original post

While mixes are OK, they will never match the intricacies of single-malt distillations.

POST 7Original post

Mixing oil is not only ok it is encouraged. Most flux fornicators work better with different types and brands of oil.

POST 8Original post

I recommend throwin in some motorcycle racing oil and a dash of WD-40, that way ur engine won't rust

POST 9Original post

does motorcycle oil weigh less or something... those things are quick off the line!

POST 12Original post

...and now I'm glad I didn't ask that question I had when shopping for oil!!!

POST 13Original post

It's all in good fun. We actually convinced someone at the office that they needed to change the air in their tires. Completely forgot about it, and went to lunch. As we arrived back to the office after lunch, said person was in the back parking lot with the air compressor...
