Review Q&A bentley continental bumper
Why was the Studebaker Commander the best car ever built?
Question: ,“Why was the Studebaker Commander the best car ever built?” Well, “best car ever built” IS a bit of an overstatement. But… The 1953 Studebaker Starliner Coupe, often referred to as the Loewy Coupe, was without question the most attractive American car sold in 1953…arguably one of the most attractive in the world. Here for comparison is a more typical styling exercise for that year, GM’s 1953 Chevrolet Bel-Air. By comparison to the clean modern sculptural lines of the Starliner, the Bel-Air manages to look old, dowdy, fat, and garish at the same. Let’s look at the basic lines of the Studebaker Coupe analyzing just why it looks so appealing even today 70 years after it came out. Note that sculptural indentation starting above the wheel well and continuing back to a swoosh in the door. See how the curve of that line echos the line of the chrome drip rail highlight above the side windows. Note how the swoosh repeats the line of the tops’s C-pillar behind the door. And the line of that is repeated in the shape and angles of the rear glass and moldings and the front vent window. The reverse of that angle subtly repeats itself in the lines defining the rear sections of the front and rear wheel openings. The top of the Coupe follows the long graceful curve both of the top of the front fender and the curves if the rear deck lid. Some of the styling details of the coupe are subtle. You know they are beautiful but can’t quite at first glance grasp why. Look at the tail lights. See how they and the rear bumper continue the lines of the rear fender and that the shape of the tail light again again echoes the swoosh that terminates the coupe’s side character line. Note how the angle and curve of tail lights repeat those of the top’s C-pillar. See how the twin chromed exhaust tips balance each other and make the exhaust pipe itself a design element. Look at the chrome wheel covers. Note how their convex line repeats the clean sculptural line if the fenders and that the diameter of the concave center section repeats the curve used in the swoosh and the top of the C-pillar. The Studebaker Loewy Coupe is a perfect sculptural design defined by its form alone. It achieves both grace and coherence by restraint, avoiding unnecessary pieces if trim, and by coherence…having each line part of a stylistic theme, blending with, accentuating, and replicating that theme. If cars can be compared to the human body (The beautifully styled ones often are.) the Studebaker Starlight Coupe would be a prone 19 year old female nude. The Chevrolet Bel-Air by comparison would be a past-her-sell-date fat lady, clothes from Walmart, and wearing far too much makeup. The Starliner Coupe was styled by the Studebaker Design Studios of Raymond Loewy and Associates when that department was headed by Robert E. Bourke. Loewy and Associates was one of the greatest design firms of all times. Raymond Loewy was a French-American designer who spent most of his time in the United States. If you are familiar with the best of French automobile design you can see the European and French influences in the lines of the Starlight Coupe. Look for example at the shape, the clean lines and repeated design elements, of the French Citroen DS. And it should be noted that the original chief designer on the Studebaker account under whom Raymond Loewy worked was none other than Virgil Exner who later styled the most beautiful cars Chrysler Corporation has ever designed. Above is Virgil Exner’s 1953 Chrysler D’Elegance. Below is Exner’s 1956 Chrysler 300 B. The engine and chassis of the Starliner Coupe were pretty conventional. The car was powered by a very good 232 cubic inch (3.8 liter) V8 with a 2-barrel carburetor and dual exhausts producing 120 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. The available transmissions were a 3-speed column shift manual with optional automatic overdrive and an automatic built in collaboration with Borg-Warner that had three bands and two planetary gear sets and a unique for the time torque converter that could lock up in high giving the automatic the efficiency of a manual gearbox. What made the car somewhat exceptional was the low center of gravity that the Loewy body design gave it. This, like the drop floor Hudson Hornet of the period, gave the car much better than average road holding. Road tests in the ’50s claimed that because of its low center of gravity the Studebaker was the best cornering assembly line car in America. Thus, the Studebaker frequently showed up at speed tracks and stock car races in the era. The 1953 Studebaker Starliner Loewy Coupe is always found well up on the list of the fifty best styled cars of all time. But this question gives me the chance to mention the 1953 Studilac. The Studillac was a 1953 Studebaker with a Cadillac engine and the rear end from a Mercury. The latter absorbed the torque of the Cadillac engine and balanced its 50 pound greater weight and exchanged the Studebaker’s 9-inch drum brakes with the 11-inch drums of the Mercury. The combination gave the Studillac a top speed of 126 mph and a 0 to 60 time of 8.5 seconds (really fast for 1953) plus the respected cornering ability of the low Starliner Coupe. The car would outrun most sports cars of the period…cars like the Bentley Continental costing three times as much. The package was available for $4,500. The noted sportsman and racing driver Briggs Cunningham bought a Studillac. It is interesting that the Studebaker Starliner coupe is one of the very few American cars of the era that appealed to European car buyers. The car sold well particularly in France and can be spotted in French films from that era. Other Raymond Loewy designs:
Would buying a used 2004-2006 VW Phaeton W12 be a horrible idea?
Nick Nguyen,, I would like to disagree with your answer. I live in Canada and have previously owned a 2004 Volkswagen W12 Premiere Edition (Imported from the U.S.). 1) The W12 "Premiere Edition" was a special batch-built group of cars brought over to North America for the Phaeton product introduction in the late fall of 2003. I think these cars were originally priced at about $88K. 2) If you ordered the exact same vehicle, but with a different paint colour (thus making it a 'regular' W12 purchase, not a "Premiere Edition"), list price of the car was about $101K. 3) The W12 Premiere Editions, along with many of the in-stock V8 Phaetons, were not exactly hopping out of the North American showrooms in the summer of 2004, so VW came out with some very aggressive subsidies to the dealers to help them move the product. As a result, there was a flurry of sales of new W12 Premiere Editions for about $70 to $75K in the late fall of 2004. Let me address a few things that you have stated that is incorrect. "It's an incredibly complex car that has aging electronics- for instance, adding an auxilliary input or ipod interface is nearly impossible." A kit made by DICE electronics is available for $120.00. You lose the CD Player function but you can plug in an iPod or AUX. "It's incredibly luxurious in some ways- for instance the trunk hinges on the W12 were manufactured by Campagnolo" Don't forget that the trunk/boot is power operated which will lift up by pressinng the VW logo on the back (Same as the Bentley Continentals - B logo). "It has CD based navigation that doesn't display street names in map view (and it's deeply integrated into the vehicle electronics and isn't replaceable)." It is a CD based navigation. You can purchase a TOMTOM Update disk (The last one I purchased was a 2013 from a BMW 7 series) which works perfectly fine. As well, it also displays the street names on the Nav. "Luxury features like cooled seats, adaptive headlghts, and adaptive cruise never made to the Phaeton in the US either." You get 6 adjustable cool settings on the Phaeton. There are NO adaptive head lights (Currently owning a vehicle that has Adaptive headlights, it's not a deal-breaker) and you can retrofit adaptive cruise control from the European spec Phaeton as all the connectors are on the vehicle. As well, you can also retrofit the keyless push-button start for around $350.00 from the EU spec Phaeton to NA spec Phaeton. "Try to get one with the four place seating package.", These exist but are almost impossible to find in a W12. "the Phaeton was a car created to thank Dr. Ferdinand Piech for his efforts turning the VAG brands around." This is not true at all. Back in the old days, there was a strict retirement policy at Volkwagen set at age 65. As a big bang, Piech wanted to create (in his words), "the best car in the world". Volkswagen having purchased Bentley in 1998, they wanted to create a new vehicle to refresh the model line. However, if Bentley absorbed the entire cost of the research and development of a new car, their books will only record losses. Volkswagen absorbed the cost of developing the Bentley Continental and badged it as the "Phaeton". Otherwise, to address the OP's question. If the ,starter motor, goes, you may as well replace the water pump as well. Being an engine-out operation, It takes 24 hours worth of labour the remove the engine then an additional 2 hours to replace the starter motor. If you live in temperate climates, you may have to look at replacing the ,valve cover gasket, ($1000.00 job). Tire pressure monitoring sensor will always go, (You can disconnect the sensor module). 2 Batteries. The Phaeton has an ,AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat Battery ,- Not aftermarket available $220.00) battery in the left compartment (Powers everything in the car except for starting the vehicle) and the, Starter, battery on the right side. My very mediocre massage seat died (Didn't bothered to look into replacing as it will cost thousands to replace). Brake pad wear sensors,, these have to be replaced with brand new parts ($200.00 for set of 4) or you can just disable it (What I did). Wheel alignment ,(Only available at VW dealerships) 3.5 hours of labour for the job. Low beam bulb (HID), ,to replace the bulb, you will have to remove the bumper. 2 Hour labour charge. Spend $200.00 on the proper OEM bulb and not $80.00 like I did (Died within 3 months). Performance Figures:, V8: 0-60 mph: 6.6 seconds Top Speed: 135 mph (governed) EPA City: 15 mpg EPA Highway: 22 mpg W12: 0-60 mph: 5.7 seconds Top Speed: 135 mph (governed) EPA City: 12 mpg EPA Highway: 18 mpg I averaged 8-14 MPG in my W12. Get ready for 300-400KM (190-250 miles) range at $80 fill ups. Overall, If you have to ask, you can't afford it. I've had another owner tell me that in the 2 years of ownership, he spent close to $19000 in repairs (Covered by his extended warranty) over a 2 year span. Mine was around $8000 (Including windshield replacement - $1300.00) over the span of 8 months. My Opinion of W12 vs V8:, The V8 is the more affordable option (less maintenance and just as fast). The W12 is the smoothest engine I have ever owned. If I were to do it over again, I would still purchase the W12. With another family member owning a Bentley Continental GT Speed and a Flying Spur, I would say that the Phaeton is closer to the Bentley (Same chassis) than the A8 L and much more luxurious over the A8 L. Another Opinion of W12 vs V8 (,Pros, Cons, General Comparison Discussion,:), I suppose I have a pretty unique perspective on this question, as I currently have a 2005 V8 and a 2006 W12. My 2005 is coming off lease and will be returned in two weeks. It has 47,000 miles and I just got home from a 4 day trip from Los Angeles to Lake Tahoe and back. I took the V8. It performed great in high temperatures and about 100 miles of solid 90 mph driving (hey, the 5 is a fast interstate).The V8 is different in three dramatic ways from the W12. It is louder (some would say this is good, others would say not so - I just say very different - throaty vs. turbine is an excellent way to describe it). I enjoy the engine sound in the V8, but after driving the W12 now for a few weeks (it has been at ,OEMpl.com, for a number of mods - new spec fog lights, Euro spec chrome trim on front bumper, brake powder coating, new rims, keyless start and a couple of other goodies) I have grown to appreciate the quiet nature of the engine. Somehow, the raw sound of the V8 gets the blood moving, though, in a way the sound of the W12 doesn't, but it is subjective. The second item is the transmission. I am a huge fan of the V8 - I have enjoyed every minute of driving this car, but I do feel as though the W12 transmission is smoother and more seamless. Although the V8 is still silky smooth, in purely relative terms, it "hunts" a lot more than the W12 does. The shifts are also more noticeable. Again, this is subjective. I would say the V8 leaves the driver feeling a bit more engaged since the W12 is so silent and you just don't notice is working through the paces. Third, is speed. I tend to drive fairly aggressive. I enjoy accelerating hard on some occasions, but not every time. Under normal driving conditions, there is not a huge difference is you just go half throttle. However....there is a difference. It is subtle and hard to explain. The W12 simply "launches" in a way the V8 doesn't. The V8 has to work harder to achieve the same results - obviously HP and torque come into play here, but with the W12, you really "feel" the difference, even at moderate acceleration. I think you have to constantly drive one and switch to the other as I have for the last month, to really appreciate this. The torque curve is also much flatter in the W12 and this is where the speeds from 80+ really make a difference. There is a great 2 mile stretch near LAX with no onramps and I have hit the limiter on both cars many times. I can say, without a doubt, and with respect to my V8 comrades, the W12 is just in a different league at speed. I would struggle to justify the 30k price difference in a brand new purchase, but the engine dynamics and power are really amazing and I appreciate the extra juice the W12 offers. I did pay a premium on my W12 but I think it is worth it (that being said, I don't really know what the price of a 2006 V8 with 16k miles would be). Also, I do not notice any particular handling difference between the two. I do think the stereo sounds better in the W12 due to the lack of engine noise (settings are identical in both 270 watt systems). Two different cars, both in a clas of their own. Also, no one will know what it is, no one will care about how nice of a car it is and occasionally, a VW owner will park next to you. Just off the top of my head, feel free to ask me any other questions for me to add.
What are the 10 most beautiful European (including UK) cars ever made since 1921 'till 2021 and why (if you can) also and/or American cars?
Ten? Yeah, can’t be done. 1920s ,- The criterion is “most beautiful” which, for me, makes cars from the ‘20s a bit problematic. For me beauty should always include at least a touch of the feminine, curves and smooth surfaces. Cars from the 20s though were built square and upright and the body sat directly on top of the frame. Handsome, yes, beautiful, I don’t know I’d go that far. Anyway… Rolls Royce Silver Ghost 1930s, - A truly great decade in car design. No list of beautiful cars would be complete without Jean Bugatti’s Type 50T ,Profilé Another Bugatti, a Corsica-bodied Type 57SC In the later ‘30s you started to see “streamlined” cars. Bentley 4.25 Litre ‘,Embiricos,’ Coupe 1940s ,- World War II basically gutted car production in the ‘40s. There wasn’t much new until later in the decade. Pininfarina’s Cisitalia is the most distinguished design from the era, being the first envelope-bodied car ever made. There’s an example of this car in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Cisitalia 202 by Pininfarina. 1950s,- Another great decade for design. I’m going to stay away from the usual Jaguars, Astons and Ferraris. Alfa Romeo Disco Volante by Touring BMW 507 by Albrecht von Goertz 1960s, - Way, way too many choices. If I’m going to include a Ferrari, it’s going to be my personal favorite. 330 GTC by Pininfarina. Maserati Ghibli - designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro at Ghia. 1970s, - After about 1974, car design In the US was hampered by all the new impact safety rules, five-mile-per-hour bumpers and other excrescences. So the early years are best. Monteverdi High Speed 375 S by Frua. BMW 3.0 CS - The most beautiful BMW ever. 1980s, - …and now for something completely different. Volkswagen Corrado Isuzu Impulse Turbo by Giugiaro 1990s, - Not a whole lot from the ’90s I really liked. Porsche 928 Bentley Continental R 2000s Corvette C6 - This is the best looking Corvette of all time (fight me!). Mercedes CLK 430 2010s - ,Lots of beautiful exotics and supercars, none of which interests me much. Cadillac CTS-V Coupe Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio 2020s I do like the Jaguar F-Type R.
What do you like or dislike about each of the following sports cars and which is your favorite: AMG GT, i8, R8, Gallardo, Gran Turismo, S-Class Coupe, 911 Targa, Evora 400, Ferrari 360, or Bentley Continental GT?
My answer is based on car reviews and overall peoples comments who do have direct experience. I base it also on my personal knowledge of the auto industry. AMG GT - Sexy! with a praised 4.0l Turbo. Can barely fit. i8 - Cool gimmick, love the design but come on have a true sports version to compete with the big boys. Shove the V8 from the M5, right tires and let it rip. R8 - A more civilized Gallardo? (very goooooood loooking) Gallardo - See above Gran Turismo - Old, overrated, needs a total redesign. Would be better if it was based on the 458. S-Class Coupe - SEX! Not sure about reliability. 911 Targa - Can’t complain. Give me with a manual. Evora 400 - See above. Ferrari 360 - Capristo exhaust with a 6 speed and an unlimited bumper to bumper warranty (paid by someone else of course) NOT IN RED! Bentley Continental GT - See S-class coupe.
Is there anything I can do to reduce the road noise in my VW Jetta Sportwagen? It is extremely loud. New tires are helping but it's still bad.
I suggest sitting in the car with windows up, and having someone blast a narrow stream of high-pressure water at each area of the car while you take note inside of the loudest noise penetration, then insulate THAT area. You have three challenges: stop making sound, block sound getting in, absorb sound you cant stop or can’t block. And it’s not just the sound you hear, it’s the sound you feel, as well, that is objectionable … all these things do one or more of these three: 1 - seal air gap openings with extra weatherstripping between opening body panels, nice, big, soft supplemental ,[ self-adhesive automotive weatherstripping ],, such that all exposed seams are sealed … for example. making three separate seals for door panels ( VW already has two in many places ) with new additional seals where the outer edge of the door has a gap at the surface to the fender, this reduces wind noise and isolates the interior from the external noise, even noise from your own car. 2 - disassemble all interior panels, including and especially the roof liner, and fill the space with non-VOC volatile organic compound ,[ automotive sound deadening materials ],, use the existing materials as examples of what to add, you will find loads of different materials already mounted behind everything, foam blocks, fiber pads, but still plenty of space left to fill. 3 - cover all hard interior surfaces with soft material such as ,[ self-adhesive padded vinyl ],, ,[ Ultrasuede ],, and ,[ EVA foam “foamtech” “foamiran” ], or equivalent in various thicknesses ( and coat it with ,[ Turtle Wax Inside Protectant with Scotchguard ], to male it appear more durable ). 4 - spray the underside of the car with ,[ rubberized undercoating ],, again and again and again ( I added almost 50 pounds of spray undercoating to a VW Type 2 camper van over a period of sequential spray coating sessions, letting it set between sprays so nothing dripped, even in the thick places ). 5 - apply ,[ exhaust system heat and sound deadening wrap ], ( it will reduce under-hood and under-body temperatures, too ). 6 - Turn up the radio — I installed a ,[ Nakamichi ADS 2002 portable sound system ], ( ooo, that dates me ) that, even in a convertible ( Fiat Spyder ), overwhelmed any road noise — I could not even hear the complaints of people I passed by as they yelled from sidewalks and from other cars ( !

You’re going to buy a new car. What are your FAQs before making the decision to purchase?
I hardly ever walk into a car dealership, unless it is for servicing my current car or for purchasing a new one. By that time I have researched any car I am interested so thoroughly that all I need to discuss with the salesperson is “price”. My list of “to research” items is the following (in this order): is it fun to drive considering what I like in a car? what are the packages and what do they really do for me? Many packages are just plain useless. Some can be actually almost a must have. They are expensive and better avoid tossing money away. is it reliable and what is the warranty program/what is covered and for how long? how is the fuel economy (city driving, highway driving, premium only)? what are reviewers saying (some reviewers would be better off not reviewing a car at all as they have nothing to say, but some are quite the testers, some magazines compared oranges to apples, others write only very good or good things for fear to hanger OEMs and not being able to test their cars in the future).. So this is where I spend a lot of time behind the scenes: trying to separate proper reviews from cheerleading and the not so occasional (sadly) reviewer that just bought the car, drove 100–200 miles and loves it and it is the best car he/she has ever purchased and then does not even know all the features.. So this is time consuming for me… 1–2 months researching my cars. If I like a car, performance is where I want it, style, options, etc. but I am not 100% happy about reliability, I got through an additional sequence, this time usually at dealerships with salespersons. Say that I decided to buy a BMW or Audi. Nice cars, but reliability is not what I would really like. I visit the dealerships (more than one for the same brand if i do not find the salespersons to my liking or they have an attitude that I do not accept, given that I treat them with respect), We talk price and they offer me a certain price below MSRP. Then I have researched the cost of fixing a reasonably long list of issues. If the saving offered is not substantial, and reliability is the only thing that makes me unhappy about my purchase, I cut the chase like this. “I pay you MSRP, but I want 6–7 years/100k or sometimes even ask for 125k miles bumper to bumper warranty. Sometimes they accept. Sometimes the price offered is quite a bit below MSRP to absorb even some major fixes. Most recently I played that card with a friend of mine who purchased an Audi A4. They sort of mumbled, but when I signaled for my friend to leave, the salesperson stopped us and went to talk to his supervisor and came back agreeing to 6 years or 100k miles. I take that over the $2k off the MSRP. Besides, in this day and age, if they say no, it means that, statistically speaking, they do not believe in the quality of their cars. Of course, some people would destroy even a tank the way they drive, but he saw our cars outside and they were spotless despite being 4–5 years old. I am also not shy asking people I meet and who are driving a car that interests me, unless they look super busy or particularly unfriendly. I am lucky to be able to afford certain luxury cars. I have always had a weakness for the Bentley Continental but it is expensive and the reliability records are awful. However, I know that some people who buy these cars do not take good care of them. So I met a guy parked near by BMW who was getting into that very car I so much covet and I asked him that very question “She is a beauty, but is that car reliable?” He looked a me and mumbled “A money pit! Look somewhere else unless you cannot avoid it”. That was worth more than many reviews and hours reading reviews. Unfortunately, I love cars, but buying one makes me extremely tired as I cannot sleep unless I know that I have turned every stone and you get my jest….
Do exotic car rentals places make flashiest cars the cheapest to rent on purpose due to the particular type of people who might lease them in the first place (luxury, lifestyle, cars, supercars, sales, markets)?
It is not clear where you derived the impression that lies behind your question. To start, unless we mean dramatically different things for luxury, exotics, supercars, exotic car rentals are everything, but cheap! It is a simple matter of how costly the mile depreciation and maintenance is on supercar. The first year depreciation is brutal on these car. And often after 10,000 miles they start to attract very few buyers unless the price is considerably low to make up for potential costly repairs/maintenance down the road. Car rentals probably have insurances on top of the driver’s insurance and do not even think to rent one with the minimum insurance that would not even fix a bumper in case of even a minor accident. The mathematics just does not allow for them to be rented out on the cheap. And for what, really? To advertise a certain car rental company? As a renter of exotic cars on occasions, I know a thing or two about them. Let’s say we are talking something relatively normal like a Corvette. Well, you may get a red one here and there, or a yellow one, but most of the time they are painted gray, black. Remember one thing: car rentals (exotic or not) need to sell the car after 2–3 years or a certain mileage and need to find a market for them. If they are too flashy many people do not want them! Me included. If you are talking real exotics, like Ferrari and Lamborghini, one I rented was metallic blue (very sober, liked it), another was black, and two were red (the Ferrari red). They did not have tons of options, quite frankly. And they were not the “cheapest” by any metric! One weekend on cars like these can set you back over $2000–2500. True, there was a time in Las Vegas in 2009 after the financial crisis where, instead of asking for a full weekend, they were willing to rent by the hour. I recall they asked me $250-300 for one hour on a Ferrari. If that is “cheap” then you must have a “big wallet”. Then you have my favorite cars, the Bentley Continental GT or the Mercedes S550 and similar (AMG sometimes, sometimes not). All I rent were mostly black, one was a dark gray. I seem to recall they also had a Bentley in a lighter color, but it was some years ago. When I rent BMW X5 and the likes, it was always black or white. They were actually lease, mostly to suit people who drive BMWs and had to take them to the dealer and the dealer did not have a courtesy car and thus they rent them from my rental company. So, my experience is that the exotics one rents are in general not the flashiest and very seldom I have seen car rental coming in very flashy colors for the reasons mentioned above: i.e., they must sell them! Buyers with money, may like the car, but past the age of 25, they seldom want a flashy car. Occasionally, someone may want a yellow Ferrari or an orange or green Lamborghini or something like that, but it is not the majority of renter/owners. That is not a stylish way to stand out in everyday life, not in general at least. And those cars eventually need to find a home somewhere. I use Enterprise Exotic Car Rentals and I like to rent certain cars for a weekend or a week (depending on the types) before deciding to lease one or buy one. Almost always they hand me a gray, black or white one. Granted, these are not Ferrari or Lamborghini, but among the latter types I never saw anything flashier than red. In some rental lots in places like Miami I have seen green Lamborghinis, that is true. Not saying that one cannot find some flashy colors, just it is not typical in my dealing with exotic rentals. However, it is true that I do not rent them to go dancing or partying and show off.
Are Bentleys reliable? How much is the maintenance on a Bentley?
I owned a Continental GT for two years. On the whole mine was reliable mechanically - the W12 is a solid bit of VW engineering. The main problems I had were that the thing has many many sensors and computers, and the sensors get old and start going faulty, so I’d get ‘Check Engine’ lights from some tiny sensor in the exhaust that was moaning about something, and those can be tricky to replace. What then happens is that the W12 engine is huge and hard to work on in the cramped space of the engine bay, This means that even minor fixes need the front of the car (bumper, headlights, grille) taken off, or even the whole engine taken out of the car - a two day job before the actual repair even starts. In the V8 models, for example, the AC compressor was completely inaccessible unless the engine was removed, so a half-day job for a normal car became a five day job. Because it’s a high performance car, Parts HAVE to be Bentley original - the ECUs can tell when a non standard part is used, and it’ll again start showing dashboard warnings. Even non-critical stuff like parking brake motors simply won’t function if the ECU doesn’t recognise them. A standard oil-service is no more expensive than most cars (except a W12 needs a LOT of oil)
