I've been thinking that maybe the computer that figures Miles per gallon hates the cold . Or as someone pointed out most all cars MPGs aren't as good in winter . Since I've never owned a car that calculated that sort of thing it's probably been going on under my nose since I started driving in...

It was a Mitsubishi OEM filter, not a Pennzoil like I stated . Looks like it's a quality filter . Made by Denso .

2019 Mitsubishi Mirage . Current mileage is 9700 miles . Purchased new July 2019 . 1.2 -3 cylinder . CVT Auto transmission . I've noticed the computer read out for MPG's in the winter is about 10 to 12 MPG's worse than in summer . Warm weather I've seen as much as 56 MPGs sometimes more . I'd...

2019 Mitsubishi Mirage Hatch .9546 miles . 3.2 quarts of Castrol Edge 0w20 , Purolator Boss filter .

Be doggone I went to Wal-Mart to buy the Castrol and shelf was empty . Asked the asst. Mgr told me none was on hand . I've never seen Edge 0w20 out of stock there . Went to Advance Auto got the special with Boss filter .

First oil change was free. I think they charge right at $50 for a synthetic change . I thought the oil changes would be free for life . Must of misunderstood . State inspections are free at least . Just got home from Advance Auto . Purchased 5 quarts of Castrol Edge 0W20 and Boss filter . See...

No way to know , no gauge . thinking about getting the autool readout thing. Bought new. Thanks

Start up noise that quickly goes away due to the oil filter? . 2019 Mitsubishi Mirage . Currently 9500 miles . Dealer used Pennzoil synthetic and it's hard to see but it looks like a Pennzoil filter . Not sure if it was The platinum or ultra platinum . 0w20 . Didn't notice it in warmer weather...

Anyone having trouble finding QSUD 0w20 ? Not impossible but difficult compared to most anything else. Amazon out of stock . Wal-Mart has 2 qts. Available online . Target has it in stock but it's about 40 minutes away and it's all in 1 qt . Also I've noticed when I order it 0w20 specific I...

I bought some Mobil 1 back when you could only get it a Mobil station . Can't remember the price per qt . All the car magazines had full page adds that intrigued me . Had to be 1988 maybe . It was a 1977 Chevrolet with a 6 cylinder 3 speed . That was the easiest vehicle to work on . Heater core...
