    496 BBC roller syn or regular 15w40

    That is a serious motor! Ooof! I’d run a racing 20W-50…big fuel dilution on something that big, and if it’s being raced adds to the stress. I bet that pulls the front tires off the ground on a hard launch!

    STP's Synthetic Engine Oil Line-Up: Cleans Pistons?

    STP’s engine oils I think have always been good, whoever blends them.

    New product from STP?

    Interesting - I still think it’s just a Re-labelling of their ‘synthetic oil treatment’ that came in the same gold bottle 2-4 years ago.

    Are your driving plans changing due to fuel costs?

    Article in the news today about how Costco is selling more gas now than it ever has and how they do it - sell basically at cost and make ‘profit’ off membership fees it takes for people to get the gas.

    Mitsubishi stores get scarcer as brand cuts low performers and ‘fed up’ dealers walk away

    I don’t understand why they don’t do well, they are stupid-reliable vehicles, hardly ever see them in my stores garage. Have never met anyone who didn’t like their Mitsubishi.

    Just purchased a 2012 Nissan Armada Platinum 4x4

    Very nice, looks to be in great shape! $6k for a full-size SUV in this market is great!

    Oh, how life changes!

    Well, it’s the end of the road for the G5 at 6 years of use and 391,700km…just getting way too rusty to fix anymore. The new sills we welded in 6 years ago have completely rusted off and the back suspension/control arm mounts are starting to crack. Plus the exhaust has rusted apart and can’t...
