I take care of my cooling system, i run radiator cleaner yearly, this removes all dirt accumulated in the wall of the radiator as well as channels inside the engine where the coolant runs. It worked for me. You can't attain a good cooling system if your mind is close and not open to use radiator cleaner. My mini does not overheat with only 90F or even 100F. 90F is still considered cold in AZ. Mind you!!! Oh btw , i still use the same 39 year old STOCK radiator that came with the car. manufactured by sir issigonis... Plain common sense

Your Mini did not overheat before you put in the Russian magic bead snake oil additive. So WHY do you keep obsessing about additives, extra rads, oil coolers etc. (Don't answer....)

You didn't give me any valid warning. All I read was "idiot says stupid crap".
My engine is way more stressed than yours and 10/40 works great.

It's been fun, but this place is done. I have no hatred, and appreciate the good times. But this place now belongs to Tony and his pink mini.

Hey idiot. Go and research what grade the spi / mpi's motors use. And don't you dare think for one second that I give a flying fornication what you think or advise as you are so full of bogus information and falsehoods that I'm amazed you don't argue with yourself about who you really are.
You stick with your Russian voodoo juice, I'll stick with my shell engineered lubrication system.

10W 40 is too thin dave, I WARN YOU it will cause your engine to knock., and the oil pressure will give false reading because the thin oil is just spewing out of the bearings and not actually lubricating them to the fullest. I'll stick with what Haynes recommend,20w50

No idiot, I don't use any snake oil. Simple, regular Rotella 10w40.

Im sure dave and john are also using oil additives but they just dont wanna say it ., secretly experimenting huh!

What does gadam means? Even if you look for it in the bible or webster dictionary , there is no such word.. Its a coin word created by me, a meaningless expression.

Your complaint won't stand in any court of Law.

... and clean up your language.

You've done this several times in recent weeks, and don't give me any of that 'I speak Engrish not so good' crap - you know darned well what you're saying.

Oh silly johnny,,, if you dont want the engine to revolution then simply release the gas pedal and rpm will decrease. Owning a mini requires enormous amount of common sense , money comes next.
