    Exactly why the start/stop was put in newer vehicles. My brother's 2022 vette Has that annoying :poo: and to shut it off he had to pay GM for the software to delete it.

    I don't get why everybody is afraid of synthetic oil after break in. All new cars run it from day one. If you run a roller cam,roller rockers you don't need zinc additives in your oil,that's for flat tappet cams.
