The more I drive these Nitto 421s, the more I like them. Of course one of the posters noted that this is only an initial impression and he is absolutely correct. The comparison between the Michelin's are fairly accurate in that tire wear wasn't the issue, is just that the Michelin premiers just...

I have been a Michelin person most of my driving life when I can afford it. I purchased a new GMC Acadia Denali in January of 2018. It came equipped with Michelin Premier LTX tires, so I was happy until I started driving it. The car is a front wheel drive and the front tires spun every time t...

I put it in my Tahoe for its second oil change. It seemed to have quieted the engine somewhat. Still trying to determine if it was just new oil or it was actually this oil. I'm not one to try to stretch out my oci. I change my oil every 5,000 miles come he'll or high water.

I run QSUD in 5W-30 in my Nissan Fromtier pool service fleet trucks. Change it every 5 thousand miles. Probably should change it every 3 thousand and because the pool routes are nothing but start and stop, start and stop all day long, five days a week.when we have it changed it still looks good...

I'm switching to Shell Rotella Gas Truck 0w-20 for my 2018 Tahoe and am sticking with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30 for my 2018 Acadia. The Audi dealer uses Mobil 1 in my wife's S5, but, I'm not sure what weight it uses.

I'm gonna give it a try. Maybe it's nostalgia, with the Rotella name, who knows? I do know it will be good oil at the very least. I have a lot of miles to go before either vehicle need an oil change, so I'm sure I'll read more about it before then.

I have a 2018 Chevy Tahoe with a 5.3 V8, which I'm currently running Pennzoil Platinum 0W-20 and also a 2018 GMC Acadia with a 3.6 V6 running Mobil 1 5W-30. I'm thinking of switching to Shell Rotella For Gas Truck 0W-20 for the Tahoe and the same in 5W-30 for the Acadia for my next oil...

As I read different threads, I see a lot of people posting about road force balancing of their tires, if they are having a difficult time balancing them the conventional way. I hate to sound stupid, but, being stupid, I need to ask, what is road force balancing?

Is this a natural gas base stock?

-36 in January 1981, northern Minnesota. Mobil 1 10W/30. I had a neighbor who was an over the road trucker who needed a jumpstart to get on the road. I had a 1980 Ford van with a 300 cubic inch straight 6 popper. When I turned the key, it groaned, turned very slowly, and went bang and started. I...

Well, it seems to be on a little bit of a better trajectory here lately. I have now gone 814 miles since I changed oil and I show 75% on my OLM. It was 83% with only 320 miles. I'm confused, but, like I say, things do appear to be getting somewhat better. As long as I get at least 5k OCIs I will...

I change every 5k. It's easy to remember that way too, 5k, 10k, 15k, 20k, 25k and so on. Synthetic, switched from Amsoil to Pennzoil Platinum 0w-20 and Quaker State Ultimate Durability 5w-30 depending on vehicle. Still have a couple gallons of Amsoil left I need to and will use.

Thanks guys. I'll use it with no worries then.
