Every car has the same effect - is only visible at certain angles and is a result of the toughening (or tempering) process. Completely normal.
Try putting on some polarized sunglasses and then look at it for a bit of fun :wink:
BP bought Castrol in 2000 (Burmah Castrol). It was previously owned by Burmah from 1966 before which it was independent.
Which 25 years are you referring too?
Well that isn't really correct is it.
Castrol as a brand is owned by BP who do have their own their own refineries.

Interior quality is much improved, better quality materials. Engine changes, suspension changes, better Magneride calibration including pothole mitigation which actually works! Paint quality is better on my car compared to the S550. 10R80 is significantly better in change quality compared to my...
Just received my third OTA update PT 25.11.1 which is for the PCM
• Updated Air Intake calibration to properly detect any failures.
• Instrument Cluster updates to prevent a false engine warning light occurring.
No I ignored it. Porsche use the turbo NAME on many cars including EV's without a turbo!
And as explained (with evidence) many times an e-turbo is NOT a hybrid drivetrain.
No problems at all - it is you that seems to struggle with simple terminology, confusing an EV with a FHEV for example (an EV is NOT a hybrid)
Anyway you have derailed far to many threads with your silly arguments about definitions that you cannot understand or want to change. I gave you the...
Don't forget one of the reasons for the low depreciation on your 2023 car is the increased price on the new cars - helps to keep up the value of second hand cars.
Incorrect. FHEV is a hybrid electric vehicle that self charges not an EV that self charges (don't exist). The clue is that an EV is not a FHEV, different names for different things.
You do not understand the terminology or the engineering differences.
Go and look up how a FHEV (and PHEV) work as you clearly still don't understand.
FHEV is primarily used for economy but can also be for performance, examples being Ferrari and McLaren. Corvette mentioned above is done for performance.
And my point was if you buy a new car and sell it 12 months later of course you will lose money. If you buy a year old car and sell it a year later you will also lose a lot of money.
If you buy a new car and keep it 5 years, or buy a year old car and keep it 5 years the difference will be a lot...
There are loads of FHEV cars with HV battery under the boot floor or seat. Ford make them such as the Kuga / Escape FHEV. A FHEV battery is only 1.5 to 2 kWh.
Car makers are well aware of the safety requirements.
You are confusing PHEV and FHEV. FHEV batteries are small enough to fit under a seat etc
Fusion Energi is very old tech now - things have moved on a lot and Ford have been producing FHEV cars for years now. Here is an example - although there is no scale you get an idea of the size.
FORD KUGA...
Well there are 15 year old ones so getting there..... Never is a bold word
Assuming you ignore the 20 year old Tesla Roadster's which still work but were not produced at scale.
