    What is most popular oil brand in Europe?

    New Renegade 1.3L Turbo oil/breakin

    I was just recently considering this topic after we picked up a 2019 Renegade Trailhawk, but with the 2.0 Diesel engine. This is what our manual says: "We recommend that during the initial period, or during the first 1,600 KM (1000 miles), you do not drive the car to full performance (e.g...

    Help w/Diff Oil Choice

    Help w/Diff Oil Choice

    Greetings All, I just bought a used 2016 Jeep Wrangler (Dana 44 Rear Diff with Trac-Lok) with 42K Miles on it.

    Specs Confusion

    Greetings, I am shopping for a good grease for the universal joints on my Lada Niva. Most of what I read indicates that a Lithium based, EP grease is needed. However, when reviewing the specs on some available grease, it is not clear to me which type is better "extreme pressure" grease...

    Pennzoil YB vs Valvoline Max Life

    Oh the irony: I am just about to change out PYB for the red bottle high mileage valvoline. Hope it isn't such a bad product - trying to "fix" a weepy rear main seal in my 2000 dodge neon.

    Marion Jones admits steroid use.

    I wonder if the steroid she used is called "the clear" because it was not detectable by recent testing procedures. This seems to be the pendulum swing of steroids production and testing, when testing procedures improve, new drugs are created. I believe that steroids designed to evade detection...

    Woman’s world cup - USA vs. PRK Replay ESPN2

    Brazil v. China was a ---- game to watch. The chinese always seemed about a yard slower than the Brazilians, and China wastes about 95% of their possession lunking the ball down field to Brazils back four. The Swedes were a long ball team, but at least they played some of those balls in to...

    Woman’s world cup - USA vs. PRK Replay ESPN2

    Mean and nasty? I would not have characterized this one as a mean spirited game. People can be bloodied as a result play that was not malicious. Group B is strong - the Nigeria v. Sweden match was entertaining too. This match ended 1-1, so the group is wide open.

    Happy Columbus Day!

    Leif Erikson? No. We should go with Columbus' rival and have a Giovanni Caboto (John Cabot) day. He staked England's claim.

    Went from GC to Mobil 1 T&SUV 5w-30 in my Acura...

    I just put M1 T&SUV 5w-30 in my Dodge Neon. The oil was the same price as the regular M1 5w-30. Is there any real difference between the two? I noticed that the T&SUV 5w-30 had different ACEA ratings - but the price is the same?
