The jeep guys rave about 0-20 Ap as being one of the best. I don't know much about numbers but the comparisons I saw to 5-30 had the AP looking pretty tough to beat.

I'd go to family farm and home and get (mag1). The " Walmart oil" minus the Walmart label and then buy an oil filter that said the word Bosch and not the word Fram on it.. But that's just me. I'd also buy the filter from menards and probably stand in line with contractors who work hard who are...

Take own oil to a dealer that's running a special. My local ford dealer has a $20 oil change with free rotation. I know they're hoping they can get you in there and convince you your Johnson rods bad but still a good deal even if I brought my own oil.

Hustler zero turn, Kawasaki fr691v, drained peak 10-30 synthetic and put in M1 hm 10-30 synthetic. Bosch 3330 filter. Snapper walk behind, Kawasaki 6.5. Drained peak and put in M1 hm but left the filter. This mower maybe sees 12 hrs a year so I only change the filter every 2.

I have several qts of this to use up in an 08 impala. Is the moly being so low a concern?

Originally Posted by MParr Let me be honest, I won't run an Extra Guard on my ZTR. If you want to go 10,000 miles, at least pick the Tough Guard. I'll use Fram in my zero turn and push mower. They're 1/3 the price of a dealer filter.

Are fresh tires better? I guess I don't get the demand here and am glad I don't work in retail.

I've driven an Altima since 03 and they've been great. My current 09 Is an oil burner, but only use it to run to Detroit airport, park it and leave it set for a couple weeks. Even at that I've never replaced anything but brakes and tires. I spend half the years in rentals and I'm not a Camry...

I know all fluids expand but much has been made like cvt doubles in volume. Well not really but you get the point. I checked the dipstick before and after and the 4.5qts were dead on. Now my wife's Murano (2007) was overfilled from the factory and I honestly didn't look at that fluid for the 1st...
