Default Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?

“I won't be using this vendor (Needswings) anymore.[/QUOTE]”


Oh my, “Not going to use the vendor (Needswings)” good luck with all your hard to find XF Parts. Rob at Needswings is a go to for our cars.


If it’s not leaking and the oil is still in the can. You could always open the can and pour it into a jar with a screw top lid. If you bought it, you probably need it for your one SC most likely installed on the engine. If that’s the application then you’ll use 200-300ml. 3/4 of the can will be unused.

Unless you have 5-8 Superchargers to change the oil on, what else were you planning to use that oil for? And how were you going to store the remaining oil. I’m sure you’re weren’t going to leave it in an open can on a shelf. When you open the can, you’ll know why I say this.

BTW the Jet oil is a pretty bad smell. When you open it, best to do it outside and if you’re wiping any excess that’s spilled, best to use throw away shop rags.

Everyone of us that’s reading this and has opened that can knows EXACTLY what I’m talking about.

Stuff comes dented all the time. Before you decide to “never use that vendor again”, open the can and check it out in a clear jar.

I’m 100% certain that it will be perfectly OK.

Best to KNOW that your disappointed rather than just thinking you might be.

I have purchased incorrect parts from “vendors” in the past for other cars.

I’ve never received an incorrect part from Rob at Needswings and he’s always been available to answer tech questions I’ve asked. I don’t think of Needswings as a vendor. I think of them as a partner with my driving experience.

Give it a shot. Happy Saturday and hoping for a positive outcome for you.
