ddl Posted June 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 george ,a brand would be very appreciate .their oil is ridiculously expensive,for obvious reason they didn't give any specs of their oil because it's obviously not their oil it's just a repack that must cost 6 $ for 1l . their oil cost 32 bucks for something like 32 oz. the only thing that i know it's a synthetic oil , without detergent .of course they don't even care to giving us the specs of the required oil. it's almost like if ford would telling you that you have to use ford oil if you want them to honor their guarantee.ridiculous !

ddl Posted June 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) finally i'll chose the one made by them ,it's 50 bucks shipped for 24 oz. it's really pricey but i'll continue to use that one till i'll find a safe substitution . 50 dollars for a year is far to be the end of the world but i have principle and one of them is to don't give my money at guys that are obviously laughing at me. it's almost the price of cognac lol Edited June 21, 2018 by ddl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
