Today I noticed something odd. I've changed my father's Nissan 3.5s and other nissans since 1990 and they hVe all taken 5w30. His pathfinder is a 17 and I've been running M1 5w30 for the last 41k miles until I noticed the sticker on the hood says 0w20!!!. Oil cap is just black and it never...

I have a 2017 Sonata with now 35K on the clock and run either M1 5w-30 or P Platinum 5w-30. Zero Issues. My change interval is 8K

I didn't seem to find a thread on this but was wondering what people think of this new oil from Shell tailored to gas trucks. Its a full syn which I think will be trying to match up to mobil 1s re-try at a suv truck oil.

I saw these filters while I was at work yesterday for the first time. I agree they are very heavy. Prob the heaviest of all the filters we sell. I was thinking of buying one from the back and using it since I need an oil change anyways... Gotta love emp discount and speedperks.

I have a saab 9-3 with the GM 2.0T Ecotec. Book calls for 0w-30 Mobil 1.

Working at Advance Autos part time, I compared our Driveworks/ProKing China Filters to the few China made AC Delco filters and to me, the media padding on the lower prices filters were not as tightly wound as the AC Delcos. The Delcos media looked thicker and better made. Example (Cheaper...

When I needed a trans filter for my 4L80E I wanted a USA made one and the ONLY one I found was an ACDelco. Granted I am sure some of their filters are china made, but when looking , I saw that the wix and also the napa was china as well. Surprised me.

The steering shaft input seal is leaking on the steering box and the seal is not replaceable without full disassembly. I already checked. Just a few drops but it annoys me. Will the maxlife help out? Steering is super tight and smooth so I dont want to get a reman box as I have heard horror...

2006 Chevy 2500 HD Gasser 94,850 Miles. Pan drop and new AC Trans filter. Out with GM Bulk Dex VI fluid with 35k In with Maxlife ATF.

Any negatives with moving to GC in my 2500HD? The last owner was a loyal dealership guy and had the trucks oil changed every 5k with bulk GM oil and Delco filter. I bought the truck with 61K on it and its always had a non ecore Delco filter and M1 5w30 since then. It now has 95k on it and since...

I have some left as well from my 332. How would this work with a Hydroboost system in my 2500?

My 03 Saab 9-3 with 108k on it calls for T-IV and I'm currently using Maxlife. The car seems to love it.

I work at Advance Auto and the Platinums are our best sellers now. I currently have them on my 2500HD front and rear and love them. Plus they come with new hardware and a pack of lube.

I'm going to let it be then!! Thanks guys!!
