Don’t think I’d ever be in danger of ordering anything from Royal Purple, but thanks for the heads up ;)

R&P gets my vote. It’s their top performing oil and 5k OCI is great for your use case.

Indeed. I can drain the ATF in my CRV with all 4 wheels on the ground, no ramp or jack needed. Same can’t be said of the oil.

Bottle of Lubegard red absolutely improved the shifting of my Chrysler 62TE with 177k miles on it.

Took me 5 drain and fills for my 2007 CRV to finally start coming out clean and not dark. Cleared up the funky hard 1-2 shift I had. First three were with DW1 before switching to MaxLife.

Exactly this. Buy a few jugs of MaxLife and do a few drain and fills.

Our 2012 T&C is rated for E85 but I have zero desire to run it

1999 F150 - 184k 2007 CRV - 168k 2006 STS - 33k 2008 CTS - 67k 2010 DTS - 155k 2012 T&C - 177k ————————- 784,000 miles

Great pics, thanks for taking the time to document this.

I love road trips and that looks like a pretty sweet rig. Partner and I have talked about it for the last couple years. Once we get some other business settled we hope to hit the road in a similar type of setup.

I suspect we’ll look back fondly on these low prices in a year or so time
