As a data point, zero issues here and I stop by a couple times a day. Windows 11 machine, starlink internet.

Whatever the percentage difference in viscosity is, I'm just curious how higher viscosity helps specifically in high lateral g-force scenarios. I get that higher viscosity might be beneficial under the general extreme conditions of track work. If the idea is better film strength under...

Count me among the ones wondering how a slight increase in viscosity changes the physics of hot oil in the sump during high corner loads.

That does seem low by modern standards, but I don't have a 4. The fact that it stays at a consistent, lower temp is interesting. Is the temp controlled purely by a plan 'ol thermostat or are there other mechanisms, I wonder.

I wonder how much this has to do with the L87 debacle? By that I mean, regular people are going to be annoyed that they have to buy Supercar for their T-Ball mobility device (now that Dexos R is the recommendation). I'm sticking with Supercar.

Well, I think it's great that you asked someone for help rather than posting an unfortunate PSA about bricking your BW from a car-to-car connection gone wrong. @shbox is 💯 on point with the jumper box. I have them in all my cars because the libertarian in me says to be ready to help yourself...

Seems to be a popular move based on numerous data points I've experienced. The 5BW will commute just like your 4BW. The LT4 has loads of torque and doesn't need RPM for city driving making it even better suited to your use case. I think there is a bit of a misconception on how versatile the...

That looks like its straight out of the Supercar bottle. I drain under-mile oil all the time, but it never looks THAT good.

I guess it depends on the ramps you purchased, but I'm a big dude (6'-3" 250lbs) and really don't have much issue getting under the car with race ramps. I guess I've just acclimated to having the bottom of the car a few inches from my face? I'd recommend getting a filter socket that allows a...

The top picture is the standard piece that comes on the car from the factory, which is not what comes in the accessory cooling duct kit. I believe you need to remove the factory backing plate, which is why its not recommended for use on the street.

That kit is from my 2023. Looks like the part number might have been updated to GM Part # 84946140 https://parts.cadillac.com/

Even though there are a lot of bass boats in Kentucky, this one looks like a "regular" black raven to me. What a shame nonetheless.

I maintain a couple of German cars so something being a pain has never stopped me. I'm more curious if it's possible to fit one.

What about a remote clutch bleeder like the Katech piece for the 6th gen Camaro? Fully agree on the brake fluid exchange, it's probably the most neglected fluid on American cars. I go 3 years on my regular cars, 2 on the BW. Motive Products brake bleeder is one of the best DIY tools I have.
