Interesting, my HEMI only holds seven quarts, but I've added half an quart more on the last oci.

Sorry, long morning

And so, 6 ounces out of 7 QUARTS (ahem) is 2.7% down. i.e., sump is 97.3% full.

Close enough.

For some reason I thought I needed exactly 7 quarts now with my pacbrake and large filter but apparently not. Dumped full 7 in and still short.

Sent my PCMO 5w-20 to blackstone, can't wait for the results, should be interesting vs the other 30w I've been normally running.

Predicament: you have just filled up with HPL Euro no vii 5w-30 but didn't quite have enough quarts to reach the top of the stick. I'm about 2/3 to 3/4 up to the top.

Do you run it "as is" knowing your truck doesn't use a drop of oil to date, and just keep an eye on it,
or do you top up with HPL P+ 0w-30
or do you top up with HPL PCMO 5w-20

In other words, is it better to run a tad lower in the sump or keep it to the top with a slightly different formula/ad pack and weight? The 2 options I have are not euro ad packs and I don't know if I should mix that with the euro no vii.

I'd rather not order another quart as I don't plan to run the no vii in the future, just using up what was on my shelf.

contact them, I think in a lot of cases 5w20 doesnt need vii.

Dave from redline is on the record 10w30 and 5w20 their brand no vii.

FWIW, it's what I remember from long ago Mobil days as well.

Then again, I can't tell the difference between a quart and a gallon anymore.

I know you meant 7 quarts, lol.

So time to charge your EV...

In home you have 2 options, level 1 and 2 charger, the fastest level 2 charger top time is 25 miles per hour of charging. The fastest only available at level 3 charging stations is 200 miles per hour, but they acknowledge it is really a half hour, it just takes way more time if you want it actually full charge. I bet a smart Chinese food restaurant will find a way to get a charger, you know how you are hungry 10 minutes after eating Chinese food? Those smarties could get your dumb az to visit their shop 3 times before your "tank" is full. One EV station here is right outside the best taco bell. The new family outing, hey kids lets go fill up the EV and get some taco bell yeah, and play frisbee, and take a walk, and then get an ice cream cone?

Do you know the hardest information to find "officially"? How long to full at a super charger. Yes you can get "hundreds of miles" in 30 minutes, but how long til FULL??? You can easily access that info for level 1 and 2 charging, but "they" really don't want you to have that info for level 3 chargers.

Unofficially they say this...

How long does it take to charge a Tesla electric vehicle (EV) from empty to full at a supercharger station. As a rule of thumb, it takes about 4 minutes to add 10% energy to a Model 3 LR battery up to 80%. It takes about 10 minutes to get from 80% to 90%, and about 20 minutes to get from 90% to 100%.

Free cookie who anyone who finds an official estimate to charge an EV at a super charger.

Wait for this one guys, another new thing, are you ready???

Idle Fees, lol.

So if you leave your EV plugged in too long, idle Fees start racking up after 5 minutes, lol.

You eerd me, idle Fees.



.or every additional minute a vehicle remains connected to the Supercharger, it will incur an idle fee. If the vehicle is moved within five minutes, the fee is waived. Idle fees only apply when a Supercharger station is at 50% capacity or more. Idle fees double when the station is at 100% capacity.

In addition to the direct charging fees, Tesla may also impose an Idle Fee should your vehicle linger in its station after being fully charged. In the U.S., Tesla charges 50 cents per minute for cars that idle when the station is more than 50% full. This doubles to $1 per minute then the station is completely full.

Go get Chinese food, get a 25 dollar charge for the electricity and 20 bucks for idle Fees.

Mike these pesky facts are irrelevant because EVs are "green".
