    Possible warranty issues for DIY folks?

    I have the Toyota dealer change mine using oil and filter supplied by me.Costs me $17.06 today and they did the work and I was gone in 30 minutes from arrival. I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-20 (Amazon 5qt jugs) and Toyota filters (also Amazon).All records accessable by any Toyota dealer in...

    Wouldn't a lot of oil in the filter indicate that the ADV is working properly?The purpose is to keep the oil in the filter from draining back into the engine so more = better.

    Pennzoil Ultra 0w40 FF in all SRT Vehicles

    The price for the oil is really not too bad,its the $79 for shipping that kills my interest.

    VIrgin Autopsy- Fram XG2 Ultra

    69 years old and I had to come here today to discover I am intellectualy dishonest. You take yourself way too seriously.It was an honest comment on my opinion of what I viewed,nothing more,nothing less. Personal comments such as yours distract from this forum being as was intended to be IMHO.

    New Car - '09 Caliber SRT-4 Recommendations

    Mopar turbo applications are tough duty for oil regardless of which one you choose-I do not recommend any extended drain intervals.5,000 miles is enough and either of the suggested 0-40's are perfect for your app year round.If you don't want to do this you should not have bought a turbo.

    synthetic after 120k miles

    Change without qualm, the debate over true syn vs Group 3 syn is overblown in most cases as they are all great oils, a choice of a SOPUS oil is a good one.Just try it you'll like it.

    Royal Purple VS OEM

    I use and like RP,I think it is a fine oil. In your case I would run Ultra at 7500 for clean up of a likely dirty motor and after a few of those run whatever lights your fire. The Ultra is hard to beat for protection and cleanup.

    Understanding Syn-Blend

    Kerosine in a gas engine?

    Back in 1958 I had customers at the Shell station I worked at that routinely would at a pint or sometimes quart of kerosene to thier tanks.Passenger cars nothing fancy-the thoughts were that it helped prevent vaporlock in the summer. Vaporlock was a real problem at the time-we used pack the fuel...

    Basic soundproofing. I need some input

    I used "FatMat",bought a bulk pack 50 sq ft & put it down.Self adhesive and you must roll it down tight.I did everything but the headliner. A huge improvement-worth the cost and effort.

    Oil for modded PT Cruiser Turbo

    Boost currently tops out at 16lbs.I am starting to tune with my DS Predator and plan to ultimately have one of the tuning gurus write a custom tune to go to 18-20lbs peak and hold 16lbs. It runs very strong with the mods and the pro tune is where I plan to stop. Dyno test show these pro tuners...
