also, check out the price on this "supercar" oil.

https://www.amazon.com/Castrol-SUPER.../dp/B0161A4CIS

Breaks down to 11.25/L or about $10.75/Qt.
About what you would pay per Qt. For Royal Purple or sim at a box store.

Still, never heard of 10w-60

Still, never heard of 10w-60

Really? How about the most notorious offender in the 10w-60 wars, the E46 M3?

[TeXJ]

I use 10w40 in my jeep. I buy the O'reily's Brand oil.

For the other vehicles, I tried the high mileage synthetic 5w30 Valvoline I think.

Ah, I haven't dwelved into the realm of the S54 much.

TBH, it's not an engine I have interest in. Sure, I'd love an E46 M3, they're neat burrito, but the S54 is too high strung for me to consider it as a swap candidate. I'd prefer an S52 or M54, more torque.

I likez mAh torques.

Anyone watching 'Chernobyl' on HBO.

Not really. The s54 makes more torque everywhere. The s52 only just hits the equivalent, or very close to it, at 4K.

3 mins on 1 side 2 min on the other on a hot grill to get the browning an sear marks, let it rest for 5 min

Shit should be tattooed on arm of anyone who thinks that well done is ok.

Though, I read an interesting article about people who like well done meat. Sometimes means they have trust issues. So because they don’t trust other people to be sanitary, they want the meat cooked all the way through.

I’m not sure if I trust this fact

Can’t recall if this is the exact article, but same point being made towards the end. It’s along the same lines as why many leaders had food tasters.

they had food tasters because people are always trying to kill them.

Been away from this thread, so a little catch up from the skimming...

Exodus, hang in there man. My 2nd 2 kids caused my wife health issues that completely disappeared once the kids were born. Having another life growing inside their bodies can do weird things. Sh passed out one day at work, turned out she was severely anemic, they had to put her on iron pills - also was diabetic and had to take meds - only while carrying, though. It appears Bells Palsy can be caused by pregnancy from a quick research, and is usually temporary.

I use 10w-60 in the race cars and turbo cars. LiquiMoly has been my preferred brand, partially because my local supplier delivers it, partly because I saw an increase in hot pressure over m1, and it was significant over conventional oil. I sell it for $10/qt to my customers, so it's not terrible on price. I also watch some of the Project Farm, the guy does some funny stuff and tried to approach it subjectively when comparing products.

I like my steak medium to medium rare depending on the cut. The fattier cuts I like to cook longer as the fat seems to melt a little more, rather than feeling like I am chewing a shoe sole. Usually I do filet which is always medium rare (I prefer to have the grain in the center vs raw meat).

Burgers, OTOH, I like them well done, but juicy - not always an easy thing to do. My secret is freeze them, then throw on the grill after a pre-heat on high(~500°, lid closed). Open the lid, throw them on, close the lid, wait about 5min and when the blood pools on the top of the burger, flip it and cook to taste. Don't even flatten them with a spatula, don't even touch them unless it's the flip.

Now, cooking chicken on the grill without drying it is another art. I do a bonless/skinless breast soaked in 50/50 mix of olive oil and favorite Italian dressing. Like the burgers, high heat and throw the breast on there, but instead of closing the lid, I ladle olive oil over the chicken so that everything catches on fire . Once the breast is not sticking to the grill anymore (30-40sec), I keep them rolling around in the fire until the outside is seared (turned from pink to yellow, or becomes opaque in the flames). Then they get moved to the upper rack while the next batch is seared. When done properly, they will squirt juices when you poke them with a fork, but still be cooked through. Trick is to remove them from the heat just when there's grain in the center.

Grilling is not nonsense, imo. It’s serious business best left to professionals. :)

Well, I added the CeraTec to my car this weekend and put about 200 miles on it.

Can't really say I noticed anything in regards to fuel consumption or a "smoother" running engine which people have claimed to notice immediately. Not surprised by my reaction, because I doubt any additive on the planet would actually result in a noticeably smoother running engine on an engine that's already functioning well.

I'm just wondering if this would be an alternative to adding zinc.

Honestly, I would consider running this in the long term. If it actually works for the mileage they claim, why not?

That vid Agent posted gave me the confidence to use it..

The real debate question is...
