Dunno what exactly I use as my Dad who's a car mechanic does a good 75% of my maintenance. All I know is it's the same stuff that he uses at his work, which is mainly Ferraris.







I haz a '98 VW polo

Urmm, the UK. It's a car that does everything I need it to do. Gets me to work and back going as fast or slow as I like, transports my skis and other stuff to places I need to go and it's cheap on fuel..

Kind of. You can just chuck them into any corner and it'll go round it. But this one time, (not at band camp) I was going round a corner during the Winter and it spun, wasn't even going that fast, 35/40 mph...

I used to use Royal Purple in my Eclipse. It was the best that I could find that didn't make my lifters tick.

Now I just have a stock, normal ass Nissan Frontier and throw Mobil 1 in it because it isn't picky.
