    Using conventional 10w30 in the summer and 5w30 synthetic in the winter

    Valvoline Daily Protection is a blend, good one too, usually cheap.

    OEM NGK Iridium Spark Plugs replaced @ 54,000 miles on '16 KIA Forte - How do they look?

    Plugs look good. I prefer Laser Iridium thou and change them every 75k km (47k mi), so second change on a 10 y.o. car. I had original factory coil fail on cyl 2 recently (at 100k miles) and would like to report SKP coils from RA are not only cheap but looked high quality and work great.

    Additive recommends for April 2024

    Imho, start changing oil every 4k miles, I saw big diff in used oil between after 4k and after 5k miles. To keep fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel lines and injectors clean (of gunk) - use Gumout Regane Complete or Regane High Mileage - those two have high % of PEA and are cheap at WM.

    Is the recommended 0-20 bad for engine life?

    Thinner oils are recommended by manufacturer not for engine longevity but rather better gas mileage.

    No more Super Tech MP?

    Supertech MP is a very well made filter and the only reason that I see it gone from WM shelves is - lower profit for WM.

    Need recommendations for a battery charger

    I have an older Schumacher charger with buttons to select reg/AGM/Gel and iirc 4A/12A to choose from, it's way over 10y.o. and still works. It has a display to show V or % of charge.

    Magazine's prediction on prices from 30 years ago appear to be off (tongue in cheek)

    The ad said in 30 years, 28 years ago, we are right on track to meet the prediction 2 years from now.

    Laser printer for printing documents for sure. Photo printers are still ink jets.

    How often do you clean your firearm?

    Handgun - usually about 1k or so rounds which is usually 3 sessions. Hunting rifle - after every shoot.

    Current consensus on PUP?

    Euro LX oil is both C2 (fuel economy) and MB 229.52 (LSPI protection); unless someone wants an oil thinner than 30 weight only then PUP may make sense, I'd prolly go with VW 508 oil thou.

    Current consensus on PUP?

    Imho, if you wanna stay with Pennzoil then try Euro LX or L, I think they are better oils than Ultra overall.

    Now that RL is moving out of that hole I may actually buy their oil, for first time in my life.
