Warren Distribution. There’s two Warren companies who makes in store oil brands, I can’t remember if this is the same one that makes the Walmart brand(which is actually fine). 

Me too. The work will always be there, but coffee time will be gone forever.

The oil is made by Warren. They make a lot of oils for store brands. 

And you deserve all the stars for your username alone. It's the story of my life. 

And the hose clamp is always pointed at the perfect angle for your screw driver(or pliers if it’s a spring clamp).

Hehe, my buddy’s 2014 did that within a few weeks of coming off the lot. He was wondering who had the bright lights on outside at so late at night....

That’s exactly what we’d be saying if this was a gasoline engine. NOx emission standards for diesels are significantly more laid back in Europe, and even more in Australia. It’s the reason the Mazda diesel is in Europe(and struggling to meet the NOx emission there) and not in the states.

That phrasing would be better, but still unlikely to be true. My dad’s best friend had to have one replaced in his Bolt. The battery alone is $16,000 dollars. I don’t want to know the labor on it, but the dealer struggled to get it to charge, they ended up taking it to my dad’s barn that has a higher amperage 240…

Yup. Saying there wasn’t a single failure when my dad’s best friend had to have the battery on his Bolt replaced. The dealership didn’t even have a high enough amperage 240 outlet to get the battery charged on the first go around, so they had to bring it to my dad’s barn to use his 240v service line. 

I’m afraid you’re probably right. The cost to train the techs to be able to diagnose emission related issues on a modern diesel would be far from cheap. Unlike Fiat, Toyota actually cares about service.

Going to the MQB platform that’s similar as the Golf is seen as a positive, just because of the trainwreck memories people have of when the Jetta was removed from the platform the GTI used in 2011.

It’s not really bad for your screen, it just ruins the slick coating on the screen(which is probably already gone). If you’re concerned about the coating, avoid the alcohol and get a glass screen protector that’ll have that same coating on it. At least with the screen protector, you can clean it often and replace it…

Damn it! Beat me to it! I gave you a star and took it away so I could star it again. 

The 6.0 Powerstroke also comes to mind, and there was nothing groundbreaking being done on that engine. VW’s intercooler icing on the diesels as well, they tested the engines in extreme heat and cold conditions, but never thought to try out mild conditions near the freezing point. 

Exactly. And without doing any of that, they’re spending thousands of dollars only to make the ride quality worst for their uses. 

You and I would get along really well, and your friends would be super annoyed. So I assume you see these without any sign of it ever touching the dirt. 

What a plot twist!

A lot of them will go for the Raptor, yes. But a good chunk of them want to appear like a working man as they haul their friends to the Jason Aldean concert or towing their wake boat to the lake.

Ooooh, a Fummins! I’m trying to debate between buying a 2014 Ram to replace my 12 valve or swap the engine into a Ford. 

The 2007-2012 Cummins was the first attempt at Teir 4 style emissions for Cummins. It used a lot of EGR instead of urea. 2013 and newer uses a boat load of urea, but results in a super clean burn and DPFs that last the life of the engine.
