I was watching Pimp My Ride..

And they put 4x4 engine oil in the engine. WTF is wrong with them, it said "4x4 OFF ROAD MOTOR OIL" on the bottle. I feel sad for those rappers if they take their car to that place.

West Coast Customs is the biggest joke of a car customizing place there is.
I watch Pimp my ride sometimes and laugh at the crap they put on.
For example one kid got a 05 4-runner v-6, they put a cheesey body kit on a fricken 4 runner. then they a tv monitor in the spare tire under the 4-runner(which i thought was gay)
then they put an "oxygen bar" in this kid's old cop car.(it was those drop down oxygen mask on airplanes in the event the airplane crashes then plumbed to the dash with sents.)(which i thought was really gay)

the crap they use is mostly 2nd rate shit. like APC=every ricer wannabe in my town has 52 APC stickers on his/her car.

All pimp my ride is a giant advertisement for their suppliers. because at the end where they are show the kid the car they say we "hit you off" with (insert brand here) speakers."
they probably get the stuff free or damn close to free.

Dude you should see there real work, if you notice in the background, it's all high end cars. Ferraris, lambos, etc etc. Go to there website and see some of their work. Pimp my ride wouldn't be interesting to the general public which i think aren't car enthusiast, if all they did was restore the car, and maybe add a subtle lip or two, and maybe a sound system.

Water-S you'd be surprised what kind of work West Coast Customs can do...

Granted they don't make the prettiest cars on the TV show or what not, you should see what they have in their webpage gallery. You'll probably be eating up your own words.

They do that show for fun.

They are getting paid to experiment.

hahahaha, this kid obviously only watches WCC instead of actually visited their site or least website. Hope you know that the MTV "pimp my ride" is only for the general public (targettting old cars), they do real work for real cars, exotic and higher class cars. So do a little research before you open your mouth.

How does "4x4 oil" hurt the engine?

Do you remember the specific brand? Which car did they put it in?


CABAN "SYNIC 4x4" synthetic motor oil
Combines high quality virgin base oils with synthetic poly alpha olefin base oils. This combination is formulated for harsh road conditions, heavy load and off-road rally driving, especially suited for 4WD, RV and high performance automobiles requiring API SJ/CG-4 standards.
