Anyone using DeAutoLED?

They've been around for a while, and I was never dissatisfied with them. That said, LED stuff is easy enough to get from Amazon/AliExpress/etc that I don't know that I would pay their premiums.

Yup, the k&n one is what I have, and legitimately I bought that when I had my trans am in 2005 and still have the same oil can! The cleaners all gone but the oil seems to last forever since you barely use it, and that’s been used with at least 6 different cars and k&n filters over the years lol.

Hello guys, is there a topic for oil suggestion? Anyway, should I stay to 5w-30 (last years I use Liqui Moly 4200) or move to 5w40?

K&N filter spray works well, use sparingly, you don't want to soak it. Like above, I have the can I used on my '94 Integra... so bought around 1996? There's probably half a can left. No cleaner here as well. AFe also has some if you don't like red.

Alright, I received my dongle and confirmed its working with my car and my device. Thanks for the recommendation! Where can I continue to learn about the best way to use this with my car? Have any tutorials or guides you can recommend?

You can check the thread on this forum about it. There was a Discord about it but not sure these days, I went to check the channel the other day and it was gone. I guess I was booted for not being chatty enough idk.
