  1. I used it exclusively in my Mazdaspeed 3 based on the recommendation of many. the direct injected engines benefit from the Rotella T6. If I remember correctly, the direct injection tends to put gas in the oil - the Rotella T does not break down as bad.

     

     

    Hmm then in that case, I may run rotella t6 in my SAAB since it has a direct injection turbo engine.

  2. I'm currently at the shop having the car aligned and road forced. Derek knows how particular I am when it comes to vibrations and other things. He has been keeping me updating on everything via text. I know no one else that would go this far.

     

    He has found that two of my wheels were bent and the tires still out of balance even when I had it rebalanced at discount tire a few days prior.

     

    If you are not going to Derek, you need to get off this forum

     

    Thumbs up!!!!!!!!

  3. Bump. I ordered a new purge valve as I mentioned. It still hasn't arrived.

     

    I still have a consistent P0496. Yesterday, I filled up the gas tank with 20 bucks worth of gas and the car struggled to start five times. In these five times, it felt like it couldn't get enough gas. Is that related to the purge valve going bad?

  4. As the title states, I'm looking for a old metallocker to put in my new classroom. The classroom is depressing g and I don't want my kids to learn in a depressing room. The cheaper the better. It will be painted a vibrant color.

     

    And I cannot touch the walls so it can't be the "screw to the wall" type.

  5. What about the Colorado/canyon? The 3.6 scoots nicely and would be a great driver. Ive read a lot of positive reviews. My dad has a Ecodiesel. I couldn't tell you about noises. It's massive inside, gets about 20 mixed but has hit 30 mpg highway going 5 over with five people inside. Gets about 16-18 mpg pulling a 29' camper
  6. Thank you Kerry. I only mentioned that it was generic because it doesn't specifically say what part is wrong and when I googled for symptoms and causes, it gave mena wide range of things that could be wrong.

     

    I have no symptoms. It just appeared out of the blue. The car start and idles fine.

     

    That link you provided is for the 2.8T V6 9-3 mine is the direct injected 2.0T 9-5

     

    I will check the lines again and to be frank, they all look the same.

  7. I've gotten the P0455 (gross evap leak) twice and checked the gas cap, did the ol' Vaseline on the gas cap trick.

     

    Now it has become a p0496 (Evap emission high purge flow fault)

     

    I've got no idea because these codes are so generic and could be anything.

     

    It's on my car, 2011 SAAB 9-5 turbo4 (direct injected if that helps)

  8. I think Tim's company recently bought an S4. The dealership put painters tape on the black paint he chose (he was between that and dark blue, you may remember the thread(s) asking for opinions on looks, then another thread about caring for the black paint). They put the tape on the car after they straightened out some issues with an APR tune (you may recall that thread also). This was to protect it until he gets the clear bra on it (remember?). Once the clear bra is on, he may make a decision on winter wheels (for the new S4 he got, it's black). There will probably be a thread about winter tires once he decides on wheels. Anyway, didn't mean to get off subject, but he could probably give an educated opinion on whether or not this shade of blue is consistent with that of the painters tape that was recently applied to the front of his S4.
