When the new GF-5 or whatever kicks in soon.. and the new bottles that are officially certified hit the shelves, won't there be a lot of oil on Clearance? I'm a little excited!

How much duty did you get charged at the border? Or did you not declare it and smuggle it over??

Use the $10 off $25 coupon for AAP and it'll make them even cheaper!

The early 2.7's have the problems... An '04 is most likely ok... buuuut... I would STILL run synthetic for the peace of mind... Any name brand you find on sale or stock up with rebates will do. I've used Synpower, Q-horsepower, and PP with no noticeable difference in consumption. My '01 burns...

Do yourself a favour and go to a good Physiotherapist and/or Massage Therapist instead... Will help the tiny muscles, increase blood flow and make you feel better! There exists NO study that demonstrates the effectiveness of chiropractics in the long run, and NO scientific basis for any of...

I ALWAYS let it prime... and.. ALWAYS first shift it to Reverse for at least 2-3 seconds, on the first drive of the day or if it's been sitting (even if not going in reverse)... Supposedly in reverse, transmission fluid (and others) flow more rapidly and lubricate all parts quicker.
