If you can shift without the clutch and problem isn't there then look at the input shift (highly unlikely) bearing. If problem is still there then synctros bad for 2nd. You can run high enough rpm that you can always skip 2nd or find someone that can replace that one synchro.

2 things a tech knows and you will be able to tell experience from. Never touch another's tools and don't offer advice without being ask. I had a new hire not only break these unsaid rules, he even took my stall while I was on test drive. He removed tires and drained oil so I wouldn't remove...

Back in 90s Toyota would change rings for oil usage without cat codes. They instructed us to drain coolant in clean containers as well as oil. We would order a head gasket, ring set and a tube of sealant. Remove piston and replace rings. Everything got reused. I have seen lots of shady repairs...

No GDI however only 34k in 6.5 years and driven daily. Once a year oil changes and looking through oil fill it still looks new. We do have an Impala that is GDI with 175k and it's a 2012. Gets yearly oil changes or less than 30% of OLM with last oil change was around 12k. Motor never been opened...

I don't get the not up to temp. My Caravan is 1/4 the way before a half mile all under 30. About a mile or so it's up to 1/2 way or according to scanner 215 degrees. I do lots of short trips however all of them are over 2 miles. When I go to town which is 8 miles before I hit stop and go. Lots...

Mine was off as it always stated 21mpg average and I hand calculated 20. I set tire size for vehicle and over last month it reads 20 mpg average.

Valvoline isn't going to do this as they won't honor warranty unless you change at 4k.

That's a personal choice that could be OK. The only thing is you got 28k on 0w20 and once you switch and an engine problem pops up rather related to oil or not, your self conscious will blame the 5W30.

Altima 255k Forte 210k 2018 Caravan 34800 Neither had engine opened up. Louisiana heat and Altima was used for Door Dash.

I have a 3 year old Husqvarna weedeater that needs a carburetor. I screwed now up and put a premix in can that included the gasoline last run of season and ran it dry for winter. I had a fuel line in tank that I found broken. Replaced tank and now if I get it started I have leave choke on and...

I broke ,in my X350 with 5w20. Difference between the two are minimal. I changed oil after a year and 60 hours. No oil usage in that time frame.

2012 Impala 180k and never cleaned valves. Still get excellent mileage for what my mom drives. Mom drives it hard. As a retired technician, cars need rpm.

5k for 130k then life happens so she went to 30% on olm. 5k was 60% of monitor. She is saving 60.00 a year.

I don't know as I haven't used those. I do know she was Pennzoil all the way and was using oil. She was low at 5k then it started dropping quickly so I changed pcv valve and oil loss slowed up. Went Valvoline cause that was what was on sale and oil usage went to quart at 10k.

Why change? I run 0w20 in Louisiana heat.

When I worked for Toyota we had the V6 sludge motors. I was removing heads to clean and replacing seals. I tried new engine way but Toyota sent a bulletin for us to remove oil pan and pressure wash only. Only if it smoked afterwards could we request a new engine.
