Dexron/Mercon is still available as SuperTech ATF. My Ranger and 4Runner specs it. I'm using Mobil 1 ATF in the transmission and SuperTech ATF in the power steering. It's sold in 4 quart jugs so I'm good for a while!

My wife was in the insurance biz a while back. Extended warranties are a money grab.

I was thinking of something like this...

Waterproof outdoor enclosures are the only thing I would trust,

SuperTech Blend 10w-40 in all my OPE. After Hurricane Matthew my 8500 KW generator ran 24/7 for two weeks straight while the house was being put back together. Had to keep the two freezers and a fridge running. The only time it didn't run was when I filled up with gas after a days work, around...

About $1,600 total and two weeks on jack stands in my driveway to get it safely on the road again. From then on it was just maintenance items. Things you expect with a vehicle with over 200k mile,

Mobil 1 comes out of my vehicles red. Except the 4Runner if I've left it in too long.

Bought my last cap from Amazon. And a spare. So far it's lasted longer then the OEM. Oops, I just jinked myself.

I use BP owned by a family friend. Shell is out of my budget.

Me too. Arcola, IL and Augusta, WI. In IL they held church service in a members home. They rotated each week. An all day meet and eat fest.

Probably Mennonite. They can drive and use power tools.

First, look at my vehicle list for what oil I use. The F150 gets a three year oil change and that's around 2k miles. The Ranger gets two year oil changes and that's around 2-3k miles. The 4Runner gets yearly oils changes at around 5-6k miles.
