Csg but then I needed to get it shipped and it was in USD. Pretty Much same deal ish maybe a little better with Csg but it's good to support Canadian vendors when they give a good price

Does this oil make any difference for normal driving? Or only tracking?

There is a discussion on this point in the oil forum.

One of the manufacturers, Amsoil or Motul, I can't remember, has actually told the dealer that their race oil should not be used for DD duties.

A very complimacated subject for sure.

After talking with Csg Mike a upgrade to a 5w30 is good for those that drive their car hard and do some tracking. The added viscosity does well with the heat. He also says that after testing the motul 300v in 5w30 his oil comes back very clean. The best way to know if your oil is doing it's job is to get it tested and he did post a link. With testing you can determine if the oil is doing good and if your intervals are good.

Ohhh I'm not saying 5W30 is bad, just chiming in regarding the "should I use 300v in a DD car".

Ya it all depends on how your driving. But if you are not driving your car hard you should probably stick with a 0w20

Guys, I still have my winters on! :O

Normally I would go to TG and get them swapped but they are so crazy busy I would not be able to get an appointment for like 3 weeks!

any suggestions? I have a bunch of small garages near me and a crappy tire, but I am not sure I want to trust any of them, even if it is just a simple mounted wheel swap...

I would like to get this done this week/weekend if at all possible...

Thanks for any tips you have!

Buy a jack/stand combo while you go at crappy tire, do it in your driveway, parking lot, anywhere basically, takes 15 mins and youll save money !
