#12782 of 21283 Re: The 2008 International Engine of the Year [circlew] by 2001gs430 May 07, 2008 (11:23 am)
Replying to: circlew (May 07, 2008 9:28 am) Nissan TT V6 in the GT-R is probably going to take this title next year. Wait, no dip-stick, how do you know when to add more oil once this engine is out of warranty. Old engines can burn oil...

Replying to: 2001gs430 (May 07, 2008 11:23 am) Electronic sensor tells you when oil is low...also tells you when to change the oil. Data is kept in the key fob sensor for service data/dates/miles...they stick the fob in a docking station and get the readings stored in the key fob chip.   Regards, OW Replies to this message: 2001gs430 (May 07, 2008 1:28 pm) circlew (May 08, 2008 4:08 am)

Replying to: circlew (May 07, 2008 12:31 pm) What if the sensor malfunctioned and/or you don't have access to the key fob docking station/computer. I guess you can stop by the dealer every other week for an oil check Replies to this message: circlew (May 08, 2008 4:08 am)

Replying to: 2001gs430 (May 07, 2008 11:23 am) Wait, no dip-stick   I think BMW decided that one dip stick per car was enough!! Sorry, I couldn't resist!!

Replying to: tagman (May 07, 2008 9:18 am) We get it, BMW makes really good engines.   Congrats to BMW. The 35i engine is indeed a brilliant piece of engineering, more so than the 5.0L V10 IMO, which isn't great on torque compared to the AMG 6.2L V8, and also has oil guzzling problems if I remember correctly. I am very interested to see how Audi's answer to the BMW engine turns out.

Replying to: 2001gs430 (May 07, 2008 1:28 pm) The check control function can be accesses on board. Oil level is one of the checks you can do as well as many other systems that have electronic sensors that translate the condition data.   When things go amiss, I just bring it in....and drive a loaner away until it's fixed. No cost to me as I paid up front for the warranty and free maintenance!   Regards, OW
#12788 of 21283 RR museum by jlbl May 08, 2008 (8:26 am)
Hi all,   Here I enclose the link to the web site of a small but appealing RR and other classic-car museum.   http://www.torreloizaga.com/   You may use your Spanish to translate the short picture legends. Yet the pictures are auto explanatory.   The museum is in Concejuelo Castle, which is located in Torre de Loizaga, which is a village a couple of dozen miles away from my home. If you wish to see more the village and landscape, you may go to 'Google maps' web site and write 'torre de loizaga, vizcaya' in the searcher. When the map pops up, you should press the 'A' blob on the left side: 'Torre de Loizaga (Concejuelo) desde el monte UBIETA-ZIPAR'. I hope you will enjoy the visit!   Regards, Jose Replies to this message: anthonyp (May 08, 2008 1:00 pm) jlbl (May 08, 2008 1:39 pm)
