    Chevron introduces next-gen Techron in U.S. Chevron and Texaco gasolines

    Techron is a great cleaner. Companies nowadays often roll out product changes solely to increase profitability, and or to remain compliant with “evolving” regulations. Changes to established, effective products may be couched in terms of product quality, but the improvement is often not...

    Chevron introduces next-gen Techron in U.S. Chevron and Texaco gasolines

    Pennzoil Euro 5w40 VS Pennzoil Euro 5w40?

    More likely those dates are when each version of the label was revised/released. Would be in use until the next revision is released. Manufacturing date, if provided, would likely be printed directly on to the container, not on the label.

    Entirely based on a YouTube video by Torque Test Channel, I bought a set of HyperTough (Walmart) metric flex-head ratcheting wrenches. Wanted something like this for a while, finally got a set.

    Valvoline ATF "Hybrid" Full Synthetic Clearance AAP

    That's a good point, the name is deceiving. The technical specs make it clear, and common sense should indicate, the fluid isn't just good for hybrid cars, it'll work in any application for which it meets the spec regardless of power source.

    Many Fram filters on clearance at Walmart

    I've seen this at two different local (CT) stores. Not sure if this is related to the parent of Fram filing for bankruptcy or not. I didn't take the time to mine a lot, but I spotted, and bought, two XGA12405 Extra Guard air filters for my Silverado at $5 each.
