    Would this cause my jeep to stall?

    I would think with it being disconnected from the air box it would be a good vacuum leak. I hope it didn't do any damage with me driving it for 35 miles like that before I popped the hood.

    Would this cause my jeep to stall?

    So today for no reason, my jeep stalled out at a stop sign. No lights or codes and it restarted an ran fine. I figured maybe my air charge sensor was dirty so I popped the hood to clean it. That's when I saw the hose from my crank case to my air box was off on the air box end. I have no idea...

    What Brand Of Conventional Oil Would You ONLY Use??

    PYB. My vehicles always ran smooth on that and it cleaned the engine up a bit too. IIRC, it has high molybdenum content as well. Currently I use QSUD 5-20 though.

    Generic non ethanol 87 question

    Weigel's also sells 92 octane non ethanol but I don't use that in my little Patriot. I just figured true gas would be better than the ethanol stuff. I definitely get better mileage, and I run techron every 3k miles.

    Generic non ethanol 87 question

    Here in TN we have stores called Weigel's. They actually sell true 87 octane which in my Patriot nets me about 28 mpg vs 26 mpg for ethanol based 87. My question is this: is a true 87 octane gas better than say a top tier 87 with 10% ethanol?

    Service Pro oil any good?

    Unusually do a 7k OCI using QS UD. Things got hectic and I ended up pushing that closer to 10k for the first time since I've owned my Jeep Patriot I bought new back in '15. Ended up going to a local lube place and getting my oil changed and they used Service Pro semi synthetic 5w20. Seems it...

    Started growing the stash today...

    They had some PP 10-30 as well for the same price, but I didn't get it. I should've and used it during the summer months next year.

    Synthetic 5/10-30?

    Saw a few quarts of 10-30 PP for 4.60 a qt yesterday. My Traiblazer is specced for 5-30 but the manual says I can use 10-30 in certain climates. Guess I should've bought it.

    Started growing the stash today...

    I was at our local K-Mart today trying to kill time while waiting for my dog to get done at the vet's, and found the "old" PP 5-30 for $4.60 a quart so I bought the last 3 they had. Then saw they had one 5qt jug of the "old" PP for $23 which wasn't THAT great of a deal, but still a couple bucks...

    Scotty Kilmer: Don't use MMO!

    My tank holds 18.7 gallons so I added about 6 ounces to my tank. Maybe a hair over that so if anything I may have added less than what I should have.

    mobil 1 vs redline diff fluid

    I use Mobil 1 in my diffs and they quiet and smooth. If Amsoil was available I would use that based on what I've read.

    Should I use Lubegard Red?

    Well my Trailblazer is definitely shifter much smoother, but I'm not sure it's the LubeGard or the fact that I've replaced nearly all of the atf with new Maxlife.
