Re: Inquiry regarding oil viscosity following DPF deletion.

Employ a high-quality sealant, as even viscous oils can permeate.
Remove the pan. Thoroughly cleanse and inspect for any damages, among other issues. Employ a fresh seal and a delicate bead of RTV on each side. Secure the fasteners by hand, allow a 30-minute interval, and then tighten them to a ...

Re: What is the rationale behind utilising plastic glands for EVSE installations instead of metal alternatives?

Understood.


I appreciate your response; I believe I now comprehend. I conducted a search and discovered EV power cables devoid of SWA. I merely presumed that everyone is SWA. Considering that, I have observed videos in which they have reduced the steel and utilised plastic stuffing glands. I ...
