Definetly waaaay overthinking here. I'm a proponent of early oil chnge for a nw car. Best example I have is our bought new 2017 3.6 Outback. I changed the oil around 1k when new. She is at 220k now, does not burn oil and has no weeps or leaks as of yet.

Sometimes we pick vanilla!! Often, that original thought of a soulless vehicle changes over time. May she provide you with some economic stability and a long, trouble-free few hundred thousand miles!

Mine came threaded from the factory. My Gen2 1301 is also threaded, while my Gen2.5 is not threaded. Get ready to grab your ankles for an extended mag tube. AND you'll need a heat gun to remove the factory low cap tube. Nothing difficult, just go slow. If you look into 1301 check our Aridus...

Benelli M4 is an excellent shotgun. If for HD it is heavy and not conducive to CQB but a heck of a choice if you are wise enough to post up with cover in a room and await the bad guy coming to you. All around one of the best, most reliable shotguns out there. I have a collapsible stock but...

Similar situation for me in January 2025 with 10k to spend in NY. Cars/SUV's for 10k were often 150k and beat.

I mostly do 25k on a new vehicle and within a few thousand miles if a used car. After that, I generally run 75k for both front & rear. Subaru front diff is brutal on even Amsoil, Valv synthetic. Exception being BMW's in my sig. I simply do diffs, trans fl, and X-Drive locker every 50k...

Accurate....Only way to know for sure! Just make sure to use an independent lab, not a free water test from a company looking to seel ya a unit!!

Likely add an acid neutralizer....

Blue states want a ban on propane as well...NY has a new construction ban in place already. Horrible decision.

Took a road trip to Quebec City (7hr+) and thoroughly enjoyed the Canadian exchange rate...1US Dollar was 1.28 Canadian.

Correct. Last month I was in the Dominican Republic, La Romana, for my wife's conference. We stayed at a nice resort (love golf!!) Room required a key to be inserted for the AC to work. The system worked but struggled and took over an hour to get to 68F. Solution? I'm sorry, but I lost my...

As mentioned, PCV and it's so easy on that engine. My kids 17 3.6 is at 220k now. It has never been a burner. 7k OCI is about half a quart. THe 3.6 is easy on oil.

First world problem. IMO, pretty cranky. If you don't like it ask the service to come and remove the pillow or two and the comforter. Pretty simple issue when traveling. Now, I get pieved when travelling in countries that don't allow you control of the room thermostat or require a keycard in...

Looks awesome....except for the cut off the bone. Love it but find a filet knife and snip the tendons for the wings and thighs, and use a sharp filet knife to cut the whole breast off. Same for a turkey. Looking forward to hearing your recipe for the rub.

My 15 5.0 is babied as well. I moved to 5W30 quite a while ago and saw zero difference in my gas mileage. @kschachn answered it all. Any of those oils at 5k OCI is good to go. I chose Mobil 1 5W30, but I know my engine couldn't tell the difference if I ran the oils you inquired about. Our...
