    2022 Camry 2.5 fuel dilution/viscosity selection question

    My wife is the same way. She wants her vehicles warm in the winter time before she gets in to drive off. Often the car is idling for longer than the trip will take. She'll warm the car for 10+ minutes and drive it for 5 minutes. That's just the way it is and I don't care! 🤷‍♂️ My baby wants to...

    Which oil for 2003 Chevrolet Corvette?

    If I am saying the right... Engines and lubricants have come a long way. Manufacturers recommend oils based on what the engine is capable of. We use oils based on how we drive. Or at least I do. ;)

    Which oil for 2003 Chevrolet Corvette?

    I would agree with what others have suggested and don't overthink this nor change what you've been doing over the past 2 decades. But too, I think that if your Corvette was driven exactly how you've been driving it and only saw a diet of another brand of synthetic oil, you'd be asking the same...

    Valvoline Advanced Full Synthetic 0w-20 5 quart jug @Walmart online $11.49

    Well, I ordered my 4 - 5qt jugs at around 4 am so I hope there is enough oil and they can fill my order. I did get an email confirmation of the order but it doesn't say that they have my 4 jugs. ___________________________________________________________ EDIT: Yup, I did check the W*M site again...

    Charging battery with battery charger?

    🖕🖕🖕 RIGHT! You're good to go. Don't put the charger on anymore. Does the battery have removal caps atop the battery? If so, check the acid level.

    I've seen Dickey Betts in concert more than I've seen the Allman Brother's band and he will be missed.

    Do tire places still frown on tire sealer?

    I believe that a tire installer would still like to know if the vehicle owner has used a tire sealer in any of the tires.

    Buick 401 Nailhead Oil

    I hope that I am saying this correctly... Don’t be afraid to use synthetic oils, as most of today’s synthetic oils are of a Group III chemistry which is Hydro processed-pumped out of the ground motor oil. It’s the Hydro processing that changes the chain molecules to rival the PAO synthetics...

    I sure do miss cheap oil.

    When I discovered BITOG in the early '00's, I was buying oil after rebate for .49c-.69c/qt. There were even double rebates going on at that time from the oil co. & the parts store that I purchased from. Often allowing me to profit a $mall amount when all was said & done. For example...

    Inspecting old brake pads/rotors to find a problem..

    That's what it sounds like to me. Or the hydraulic brake line may be chaffed on the inside after all of these years(coincidently), and now it has made itself present/noticeable.
