I'm actually doing the opposite, selling off my stash or at least a significant portion of it, nowhere near all of it by any means. I need work done on the truck so I need the extra cash, also the oil is around from about 5 yrs ago if anyone remembers those special deals back then. I read most...

In my 04 Sierra w/ 5.3 I'm currently running Valvoline Restore and Protect 5w30 but mostly Pennzoil Platinum or Shell Rotella Gas Truck, the truck has just over 120k miles and goes through maybe a quart between changes. It's not a big deal and can just change it more often rather than wait...

Valvoline Restore and Protect was AutoZone, I remember early on was buying their oil change specials just to get it, normally I stay far and away from those parts stores because they are so overpriced but the deal they were offering at the time and including a filter it wasn't really much...

I have Nord which is mostly what I use but also Surfshark and Express, numerous forums block VPN traffic and the only way to connect is by turning it off. I use servers that are around the US.

Count me in, also my mom. I never heard of the company before but evidently a 3rd party that the health insurer uses. I monitor my credit on my own, basically that's all everyone receives is credit monitoring free for a year which is not really a good tradeoff. They want you to get hooked so...

Rarely anyone buys quarts from those stores which is why they are always old so they collect dust. They are ridicuously over priced even from Walmart. I always buy the jugs, use the rest for top-off or for the next oil change.

Yes, about a month ago I purchased a few of the Mobil 1 Advanced Clean oil change bundles from them and that's what the person told me is that Titanium is going away. For my car the filter selections were limited but did get the Carquest Premium and didn't know that it was well liked among the...

Is there an issue with First Brands, the parent company of Fram? I read they were going through bankruptcy so maybe suffering issues being able to supply the product? Sounds like the 7317 is a very popular filter because so many vehicles use it. How are the new Purolator 20k filters? I still...

Yes I believe you may still find the PH3953a but that's pretty much the only one on the shelves. I did find the TG3593a at Amazon for $12.14, I would just buy the Ultra XG9688 for $10.16 instead.... I really don't understand the pricing for the Tough Guards at all, either it needs to be cheaper...

I get it, I really do but supposedly even their quality has also gone downhill. I'm sure others can respond more on that. I haven't kept up with who makes what anymore as it's constantly changing hands. Valvoline was having a sale so I ordered some oil directly through them and added a few oil...

On a sidenote, FedEx delivered the other 6 pk of FE3506 today and Walmart still has not shipped the remaining of the previous order which was the XG9688 and XG7317. I'm going to try and visit another store tomorrow to check their stock. The only issues I have ordering with Walmart is that they...

Yes I've noticed the 9688's are always more expensive when compared to others within the same line-up. Around here the pricing definitely seems off. I think Walmart and Amazon must watch each other closely, their pricing is about the same, you can purchase a 2pk of the PH9688 for $6.99 per...

You really have to watch Walmart pricing, I just visited there and bought the last 3x FE3506, 2x XG9688, and 2x PH9688, and those were $9.24 which is highway robbery.... I'm thinking orange can certainly only $6-$7 and the Tough Guards were $9.48. I'm not really one to return items but the...

I received 8x XG7317's, 5x XG9688 and a 6 pk FE3506 today from Walmart, they still owe me 1 each of those plus another 6 pk. They must've started delivering in my area, they literally sent 3 different drivers out today to make those deliveries and FedEx brought the 6 pk.

Walmart just cancelled that other order with the Endurance 9688 and the 7317 but they currently have the XG7317 on sale for $8.97 so I tried to order 2x 6pks of those and 2x 3 pks of the xg9688 but they wouldn't let me finish the checkout, I had to keep reducing the numbers for it to go through...
