Well, this is the first time I've seen this:



I never knew that "street-legal kits" like THIS were available for UTV's.

EDIT: I suppose THIS is why I was unaware.

Just got my new Gateway from Verizon. Same issues... all the sudden my D/L speeds are awful, but U/L is normal. I called and talked to a guy, and he said "it is definitely on our end". There seems to be an issue with your account and the way it is set up. It should be fixed sometime tomorrow.

Soooo.... I hope it's true. Otherwise, Comcast made me an offer today that I almost can't refuse. 600mbps for 60 per month. That's damn tempting.

Going forward you would now burn oil in a Healthy engine.

Basically causes more damage than good.

Good thing I never switched to that type of oil.
I've heard the almost the same - it can cause leaks rather than burning - and I assume it's true. M1 states the hi-mi formulation contains "seal conditioners" which sounds an awful lot to me like a chemical that makes your seals swell up so they close up again.

I might change the oil in my siblings yaris then...
I told them to use Castrol edge hi-mi .
It's been in the crankcase for 3 months low mileage though.

Well the good thing is if it starts leaking oil after running a regular formulation, you should be able to stop them again just by switching back to hi-mi.

Bought some 5w30 super trash today.
5 Litres for $19.77 CAD.
Cheap plastic in their container though.
Jug doesn't say "Warren distribution" on it though.

Just know that the 1.5 liter Yaris only holds 4 quarts.
