Realistically unless one lives in sub zero temps, you would be fine with a off the shelf 5w30. That being said your engine and duty cycle probably will never really see any appreciable wear difference between 0w20 and 5w30 (not discounting there technically will be higher wear rates).

The venerable v6 will probably take vegetable oil and not miss a beat (please do not take that seriously)

I like looking on cars and bids
Hell no lol. Miles don't matter on these as long as you maintain them somewhat.

Mecum tried to auction off Steve McQueen's LeMans Porsche owned by Jerry Seinfeld this weekend. The bidding ended at $25m. Seinfeld declined to sell it.

$25M to someone like seinfeld is like 25c to most people.

Car is clearly worth more to him than that amount of money or he wanted to be able to claim it's worth that much.

He's had it since 1999. He probably had intention of selling it but not at that price.

I bought this brand new back in ‘07. Good ole 3.5 V6. Nice solid power + 30mpg. It now has 230k miles and still going.



Saw this nice gem today


@FrankReynoldsCPA @Striker223 @SW17LS @patgilm It’s boost weather. Tires were right under 50 degrees so couldn’t flat out and no paddle shift.

Gotta somehow get some heat 🔥 in the 🛞

Today dropped the X7 off for PPF. It’s been in a bubble in the garage waiting on the appt. Did however tint the windows first day home last week. Wonder if I can code some changes on it? @FrankReynoldsCPA

You can but OTA updates can screw with settings
