its been a year and a half and its still holding on perfect. still using supplied screws and nothing more. I have hit a curb or two by accident and obviously scuffs but hasnt come loose.

Wow! That's great to hear. Today is the first day driving with the lip on and I was skeptical lol. 😅

​@@Flatline_WRXI did add some extra screws where I felt it was a weak point. The front center of the lip and the sides.

@jsd1v2 to start if you added extra screws you should be set. If I was to do it again not only would I add a couple extra like you did. It is be inclined to even add 3m double back tape along the whole thing honestly. I had said to myself if it ever come off that’s what I was going to do …. Here we are 1.5 years later and still going strong lol

@@brandonespinosa8635 the roof racks are only for kayak season 🙂 I take them off when I’m not going

@@Flatline_WRX Nice thanks for telling me, I was looking for a rack for my hobie outback and information on the 22' is not so abundant for accessories yet so your video helps me visually, thank you

@brandonespinosa8635 yea man info is scarce sadly.

@@elroz1675 exactly

If u have an Audi use 0w30 castrol Euro oil the european stuff its better for the car u have don't use North American oil its garbage vs the european stuff

@@fortnite360HZ yep. that's the way to go.

its int the video ^_^. i ended up using the cig lighter port at the time for ease of use. the video shows you both places you can connect it

If an oil pump doesn’t pump it won’t lube??? Was aware of that 🤣🤣

@@tonysteele3805 I still run Penz Ultra Plat. Working great

@@Flatline_WRX Yeah its a fine oil too. I just mean if you want that little bump up in HTHS and for better availability you can always run it. Or even Castrol Euro. Walmart has them.

@tonysteele3805 for sure. I love Mobil 1 it’s a solid oil.

On todays episode of things that aren’t true

Yea I commend to look up oil viscosity charts and temp to read more, but yea thinner oil works better in colder climates and thicker for warmer

@@Flatline_WRX thank you

Interesting info. I exclusively run shell ( that literally the only station here with 93 octane ) and I don’t have any issues.

I like to think so

heck yea glad you found it helpful

i did not personally, but i would recommend it. once you get a custom tune Cobb has "quick flash" that allows the flash time to big significantly reduced

@@Flatline_WRX I have a 15 amp rapid charge battery charger for auto/marine. Is that something that is sufficient??

@@CedricQuartey more than enough. It just needs a trickle charger really. But yea that’s plenty

You can go straight to Dmann ots. I did the Cobb tune because it was a new toy and I wanted to see if it made a difference. That and it was the holidays so I had to wait on Dmann

thanks for the reply. moving a shifter does in fact NOT cause more slop....

For sure! But taking them off then requires bleeding and such. But I agree that if you are changing everything out you might as well take it all off.

Just PMd you on Reddit 😃

I run the 5-30 year round. No need for 0-20 as we don’t get cold enough ( I’m in Arkansas )

@@Flatline_WRX the manual says to go with conventional. What’s the difference if I go synthetic?

@@laniersulak9920 I did loads of research and conventional vs full synthetic is night and day. I would never ever run conventional in a boosted car. I now currently run Penzoil Ultra Plat. The lab testing and independent testing is pretty big in favor. Only thing else I would run would be amsoil honestly but the cost is way higher. Dollar for dollar I think the penz plat is the best. The motul is very nice as well honestly. The real reason I switched is that I can buy the pens play local. The motul I had to order ahead of time.

@@Flatline_WRX Penzoil is known for damaging engine seals don't bother with Penzoil u are better off using Castrol European oil will smoke every North American oil that people are using.....and if u don't want to then Amsoil is another beast of an oil also REDLINE as well not this Penzoil that is not all that

Also not all cars can use Synthetic a Mazda Rotary engine u can only use Conventional oil so be careful what u use

Thanks for the time stamp 🤣

NICE! Great tip!

It will not no.

it should help on some level yes.... its been 100 here in arkansas to o_O

yea it will be different with the HK

@Flatline_WRX It was. I tried it the way you had it but I needed to turn the bass up to 3 and it sounded great.

Freeze some 0w20, then try your line of BS again.

@@lonniebeal6032 Learn to read, then try commenting again.

Interesting because literally every car has the same linkage setup and stop gate from factory. They have sold thousands of these for a reason

Well I didn’t drill, the 2 lbs that it weighs isn’t going to hurt performance. I don’t track it so really doesn’t matter anyway. Thanks though 😱

Still rocking it and running great

@@Flatline_WRX A tuner I know mods hondas and on the Hondadata the 0w20 actually believe it or not the engine ran much cooler according to the Hondadata computer that was hooked up to the car cause the thin oil has less engine drag ....pros and cons u may gain a bit more HP with the cost of engine wear u can't have everything but this is true facts

I've heard that the Pennzoil natural gas oils are thinner than the regular crude oils. Where can I find that information?

@@jd646 From oil spec sheets released by manufacturer. Google "Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 pdf" and you will find spec sheets. Look under kinematic viscosity and you will find values. Compare to other oils and you will see that Purebase oils are the thinnest within their weight categories.

@@jd646 Google manufacturers pdf data sheets for specific oils. Compare Kinematic Viscosity at 40 degree specification for different oils. Purebase Pennzoils are one of the thinnest oils in each weight category... whether it be 5w-30, 10-30 or 0-40. It is a great oil nonetheless just on the thinner side. That is why I like the 0-40 instead of 5w-30. I wish they had a straight 40. I am a fan of straight weight oils for summer and for long distance high speed driving, other situations where cold starts are rare and thjere is no need for thin oil at start up.

@@sezwo5774 I agree 💯

Nothing can void your warranty. The dealership has to prove that X part installed caused a failure.

negative. sadly lol

@@Flatline_WRX Big sad. lol

Hmm, so you don't have a radiator that is affected by ambient temperatures? I had a 4 cylinder suv that warmed up in 5 minutes in the summer, but took 20 minutes in the winter.

That quite literally what an SAE temp chart is “Engine oil recommendation in relation to outside temperatures”

⁠@@Flatline_WRXi realize ambient air temp will effect the start up flow characteristics of your oil. I should have worded it a bit better but provided your cars cooling system is healthy operating temp will be very similar whether your operating in the winter or in the summer under normal driving conditions. A thicker oil may be needed for harsher operating conditions such as towing or hard driving. Those temperature recomendation charts for oil have a huge overlap where either oil grade (sometimes up to 4 different grades) will cover most of the temperature the majority of drivers will see. The recommended oil grade really only comes down to one choice on the extremes. At the coldest temps (below freezing usually) a thin oil is recommended for cold flow properties at start up.

@@lonniebeal6032I understand warm up time, I was speaking about operating temp once the vehicle is up to full temp. The difference in summer and winter operating temp is only 5-10* at most with a healthy system. A thinner grade oil can provide start up wear benefits, but this isn’t why this man says he changed and thus I wasn’t addressing that particular issue.

@@Flatline_WRXthe 2023 wrx book lists 5w-30 and 0w-20 covering the exact same ambient temperature range…

I feel like a pocket knife could do it as well. I used a box knife honestly lol
