    Oil Recommendation Nissan VQ40DE + opinions on current oil/filter

    My vote is go with a store brand 5W30 blend just to troll the “everything must be euro 0W40 “ crowd. Then post all changes in the recent oil change thread. That’s kinda what I do, if you look at the oil choices my signature. Yes, I sometimes do oil changes ironically - gotta spice things up...

    No more Super Tech MP?

    It is a weird middle ground most people probably don’t find any value in. The average DIYer is going WM brand anything to be cheap so why go up to the MP line. And the other DIY guy only buys what his dad or some mechanic told him to 20 years ago.

    Daughter's trip to JiffyLube

    Convincing a woman to do something she doesn’t want to do. Something I’m sure every man here is skilled at. Should be a breeze. 🙄

    Your favorite jobber oil filters?

    Fusion PHEV - 2 Yr OCI...Hybrid 1 Yr OCI - Why is that?

    The difference between traditional hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles is that plug-in hybrid vehicles can be driven using nothing but electric power at least for short distances. With a plug-in hybrid you can charge up overnight and may knock out your commute without using the ICE at all...

    Which domestic 3-row crossover would last the longest?

    Problem with the Tahoe is the third row is horrible for the size of the vehicle. And if you do use it then the rear shortage suffers tremendously. Towing is where the Tahoe would shine IMO. Well that, and making middle age soccer moms and dads think they are still cool even though no one...

    Which domestic 3-row crossover would last the longest?

    Good move going with the minivan. Hands down the best for people hauling. No mid or full size SUV will do it better.
