New Member Q & A Section-harassment free

This was highly requested. Got a potentially stupid question? Post up. Someone who wants to help, will.

But first, search. Whether it be on Google or the forum as threads populate with info. Did not find it? Well this may be your place.

Most common questions:
What oil should I use?
Rotella T6 5w40 synthetic

Then oil filters.
Fram is trash. Wix, Purolator, Napa Gold all rate well.

The dreaded fuel pump internals.
1) do I need em on an intake? Not necessarily but some GenPu did have issues even stock
2) downpipe? Yes.
3) tuning? Yes, to really get anything out of it.
4) but they are $! Motors are about $3700 for built block.

Not one of these? Post up.

Hey @Raider could you change the Rotella T6 as being the recommended oil please? Thanks!
 
Fun fact: maple syrup is the save viscosity as 30 weight oil. Plus you smell like pancakes everywhere you go. Its the perfect solution.
 
As a Canadian there is only one Maple syrup...and that's the one you'd call real


Maisonvi gets it

My wifes home town does maple syrup. Like they literally have a maple syrup festival that is HUGE for a town of like 1000 people (school closes for the friday before, parades, 1000s of visitors, carnival). Its nuts.

Her dad runs the whole schbang, so yes, I know more than most would care to about maple syrup.
 
Hello Everyone! Newbie member here with a pretty much stock 2008 MS3. Trying to troubleshoot an issue where the car dies after it gets warm and won’t run (I did see a thread on my particular issue). What is the best location to get the Service/shop manual online? I seen a few options for ~$20 for instant download, but I didn’t know how quality it is (didn’t look like factory manual to me). Thank you for your help!!
