Thanks for the info. Just dropped the factory fill at 1500 miles and refilled with a PP 5w30 and a Fram Ultra Filter (and GoldPlug magnetic plug).

Recently picked up a 2021 Chrysler 300 with the Pentastar 3.6. Relatives have had these in various models (Jeep, etc.) since about 2012. Aware that there have been changes over the years and certain models now even require 0w20. However, it seems most are recommending 5w20. When deciding which...

Have had similar balance/quality issues with Discount Tire. I have gotten to where I will carry my tires in and leave specific instructions for how to how I want the weights done and that the wheels are in great shape with no bends, scratches, etc, etc. I clean the wheels inside and out and even...

Originally Posted by donnyj08 Thank ls for the advice all. The HT51 May be a better fit. They look like a copy of a Michelin LTX M/S2 IMO. Have HT51's on my truck that replaced LTX MS2's. Can confirm they are quiet and work well in the rain. They have the 3-peak mountain symbol, which the...

Originally Posted by ejes If they come in your tire size, I would suggest looking at the Kuhmo Crugen HT51 tire. They don't look like much, but I had some on my pick up and their performance really blew me away. They were hands down the best all season tire I have owned. Good in wet and dry...

Not sure if you're in the same "Rainville" as me, but I also had an excellent experience with a place called TruLine with balancing a really expensive set of high performance wheels and tires I had on another vehicle. Expensive but worth it. More recently I had a new set of tires installed on...

The larger filter is actually the original size filter for these engines back in the 60's (?). Over the years, the length decreased for better fitment in various vehicles, but as far as I can tell, all other specs remained the same. I find the larger filters tend to cost less, probably due to...
