    Brake caliper pin and other parts lube

    Dielectric grease works well- our shops use it every brake job - absolutely no issues and doesn't melt away- used on pad backing to prevent squealing, and on calliper pins

    Changed my filter for the 5th time about 3 weeks ago- 143,000 km on the od- saw a couple of flecks, I've seen a very small amount at every change- now that I drive this car I'm adding an additional lubricity additive with every fill up- will change out the filter early to see if there is any...

    Shell rotella oil and our turbos

    The way those quotes are worded specifying Shell Rotella and Rotella to me would be in reference to Shell Rotella which is a 15w40 Dino oil. No where is T6 synthetic mentioned. I know when I read Shell Rotella the 1st thing I think of is 15w40 Dino. Aaron definitely needs to clarify the wording.

    Replacement tire recommendation?

    As a replacement tire for our A3 I chose the Michelin Primacy MXM4. Just got back from a 600km day trip. Tires are very quiet and very smooth. Completely happy with this choice. Better than the factory conti's it came with.

    Any Ontarians running Bio Diesel...

    Hey JASONP- what you purchased from me was LubeCorp Premium Diesel plus. That really bumps the cetane up. I purchased that from Calgary. Came in a case of 8 litres and still have 2-3 left. I use other additives as well so it's lasted.
