2012 RAM 1500, original 5.7 Hemi and owner. 211,000 miles, no internal issues ever. Oil changed every 3-4000, using everything. In both SS and FS in 5w20 weight. Totally satisfied with everything about this DD.

I just inherited a 2000 Mustang GT, car sat in a garage for long periods, oil was awful. I will run Valvoline Restore and Protect consistently in this for the duration. Trying to clean the guts. Granted, I use something different in the other three vehicles, but that's me.

I just went to VIOC on Saturday. Primarily for a tire rotation, in and out, no oil change. Had a coupon for $25 off SS or FS,(just in case) oil had 2k miles on it. Told them go ahead do both actions. Well, they get the oil and checks done, starting on the rotation. Couldn't get the socket on one...

Currently have a 2012 Ram 1500 with 210k. No visible exterior rust on body. I shot the frame and underbody with RusFre thick, black undercoating. Did not do any interior cavities. I drive it everywhere, all year. But, going down gravel roads (few times per year) I don't fly! IMO that blasting is...

Worked at a PBE warehouse for nine wonderful years. Picking, packing and shipping all sorts of items to Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. It didn't matter if it was a pallet of FE body filler on a R/L ltl semi. Or, 5 o-rings for a SATA spray gun. We had all the supplies needed to get the items to the...

I thought the ID 4 was the new van? Guess I'll have to do my research. Yes, good color, I'm a blue fan, with red being a close second. Wheel diameter? They look huge, but good!

Paid cash for my latest truck. Still had to sit down with F/I girl. She was NOT happy when I declined all her "packages" i.e, Ext. Warranty, Tire Plan, Ceramic Coating, Rustproof, etc. All levels, $3,4,5000 steps. WTH, who does that?

Skyactiv might be onto something. Mom/Pop shop on the corner can get Coopers asap. Might just give those a whirl. Don't need to break the bank. This isn't a low-mile, 2000 Lambo:confused:

Rented a Nissan compact in Farm Hills, MI for a driving FLA vacation. Facility was in a strip mall with Jiffy Lube on the end. Got my rental paperwork, went to car, checked fluids. Motor oil was black and low. Drove over to JL, got in line. Dude looked at oil, checked car data. Performed oil...

Just paid $2.66 at Speedway in Monroe w/ Speedy Rewards. WoooHooo! Love it, under $3

Fram in everything I own.

Michigan: Spring, Summer and Fall

Mustang use will be a combo of road trips to Lake Michigan or Huron and the occasional steak house to refuel. Maybe a local car show.

Getting another ride in the drive. It currently has Goodyear Eagles on it. I do not have all the details on these right now. I have to dive deeper. What are other Mustang owners choosing and why? Car has 35000 original one-owner "sitting" miles.
