A very firm NO from me for those kind of settings.

They are a trap - you think you are making the car easier to drive, but actually you are dulling it's responses. The best way to slow down the...

One thing I have read is that if you have reverse enabled, that can cause a delay off the startline. Does that apply to you?

The great thing about that oil is that you can get almost any weight you want just from the two basic oils.

If you start with the 20wt, but add an equal amount of 20wt - you get 40wt. Add the 10wt...

Surely if the charger has a max charge rate of 5A it won't even let you set it to 5.8A?
