Most of those flushes say that ad to old oil. Much easier and faster to do on that way. I just don't want to do in that way, in my case the old oil is already diluted by gasoline, so I'm pretty sure it's not good to dilute it even more with the flush. And second, I don't like the idea of...

Yeah, that's true, can't get 100% out just by draining, or maybe if you let it drain many days/weeks. But still the residue what is left inside, is pretty miniscule, ie. comparing to the amount of fuel in old engine oil. And now I'm talking about my case where I have short trips and we have cold...

I'm pretty sure that everything is coming out, because the oil is hot and I let it drain so long that it has stopped dripping a long time ago. Can't say if there has been any change in consumption, it has always been about 8,5L/100km in summer and 9,5L/100km in winter. But like I said...

I didn't watch that video more than 4mins. Looks those AI videos, wihch has various different clips. So many different engines. 🤣 My procedure is: 1. Drain the old oil and remove oil filter. 2. Put new oil and filter, and ad the flush to new oil. 3. Run the engine according the flush...

Well.. it's hard to say should you do, or not. 😅 I haven't had any problems using different engine flush cleaners, but it doesn't mean that you wouldn't eather. So everyone to it's own. And as long that you understand that there's always some risks involved with using those cleaners. In my...

I use the whole can and the let idle what instructions say. But compaering your 5's oil to some hybrid engines oil, isn't apples to apples and I would carefully say that there's no point doing that. Your 5 is 13 years old and almost 120k miles driven, so of course there is deposits/sludge...

Just my 5cent, but I would skip the Seafoam. It's pretty extreme cleaner and proccess. N7turbo has a point there. Color of the oil doesn't give that much of a info about anything. Oil analysis is good way to know what's in there. Is there some problem with your 5, or is it just there...

Well, it's not really additive, it's more like a cleaner what you put in your oil. Then run the engine and drain everything out. ie. BG epr is good one, but little bit difficult get in here. Oil additives are usually what you put to new oil and leave them there. I personally aren't fan of...

It's "normal" that the new might get darker pretty fast. It has many cleaning properties, so it's doing it's job. I have kinda same situation, I drive about 6-7k (km) per year and also short trips. When I'll change the engine oil, every 10k km, I'll do it with a flush. Then the new oil keep...

Yeah, I have looked couple youtube videos about gyraline and was considering about it. But the I tought that I'm not going to do that many times aligments, that it't easier to stick with ol'skool.

While shopping in AliX for bulbs, you should have got also headlight vapor kit (if your lenses aren't cracked). I have polished my headlights many times and they just come back to foggy. It's not big deal, because swiping them again with a polisher isn't big deal, mostly can be done when...

Yesterday, I washed the car. It's spring time and roads and sidewalks are been washed , so it's very dusty.. 🤦🏻‍♂️ And today I did do string aligment to correct my front toe-in. I've changed front lower control arms last summer and after that the steering haven't been so good. Starting...

When you changed the switch, did you check the connector? Most likely those switches goes bad because water, so the wires in connector might also be corroded.

Looks interesting. Where did you order it and can you see more modules than just a BCM? I have/use Forscan and by that have access to all modules.

Well.. I like it. 😅 It's not that rough as you would imagine. I have the shocks adjusted to about half way the stiffness. And those 235/35/19 tyres doesn't help on smoothing the ridefeel. My kids doesn't mind at all, but they have got used to that. Some of my friends think it's too rough and...

Thanks. I have D2 coilovers.

I think that spring has started so it's safe to put summer tyres back on. So washed the 5 and summer tyres went on. 😎
