Thanks everyone. I'm after the original one. Mine has been in there for five years. Long enough in my opinion.

Whenever I have gone to replace the PCV valve I never can find a Motorcraft branded one. I call the dealer and they have to order it for my 97 Ford F150 w4.6l engine. I have always believed that you should put on the OEM part when it comes to this particular part. So I'm going to ask has anyone...

I have two vehicles. First is a 97 Ford F-150. One oil in it for the rest of its life would be Valvoline 5w20. With that it gets what I find on sale for now. My wife's 2023 RAV4 has Mobil1 0w16. That is pretty much the only oil I can find locally in the 0w16 grade. If I could find some QS or...

I bought a Nissan Versa Note. Great engine but junk transmission. Didn't know it when I bought it the transmission was so awful. The engine was great though and I am sure would have lasted 300,000 miles. I changed the oil every 3000 miles with 5w30. Transmission went out at 120,000 miles. My...

I get my gas at Maverick with the NITRO card which gets me a minimum of 10 cents a gallon. Sometimes I can get gas at the same or better price at Walmart. I often fill at the local Costco if the line isn't crazy long. Just depends where I'm at and how easy it is to get to what station.

Today is an easy job. I think I will take some old oil to the parts store and turn it in to the recycle bin. Then home to change oil on the truck. Just got back from road trip and miles are up on the previous oil. Had a great time.

5 qt. jug of 0w16 Mobil1. It seems only Walmart carried that grade. None of the local auto supply stores has that grade in 5 qts. They did in 1qt but at the qt premium price so no thanks. I tried to find a filter but the book was so old that it didn't have my year vehicle. Off to an auto supply...

I was letting my oil inventory slim down and was going to just buy enough for one oil change for each vehicle. Then I noticed after oil and gas prices were going up and up I maybe might want to consider a bigger stash. I had about 4 changes for my Nissan Versa Note which used 5w30. I had 2...

I have a Fumoto on my F-150. I like it.

I have had good luck with NAPA brake parts over the years.

That would be Sears oh so many years ago. At the time it was claimed Chevron was packaging the oil. It came in 24 qt. cases.

I depleted my previous stash during a garage bail out. Began a new stash when I saw oil prices were creeping upwards. Others must have seen it too. The local Walmart is depleted of most ST oils. I have been making trips to NAPA and taking advantage of prices on the blend oil they sell. I don't...

I used Castrol GTX years back. Switched to Chevron Supreme later. I still like the Chevron oil. Hard to find locally though. Costco dropped it awhile back. I ordered 3 jugs from Walmart recently. Cheaper than ST which I like but I prefer Chevron when I find a source.

I am going to do some oil buying to re-stock my oil stash. I had completely used up the last "buy ahead" on oil changes. No with what I see going on I am going to start a new stash. My last stash buy was three 5 quart jugs of Chevron Supreme from walmart web site. I am not able to find Ford...

Severe service considerations for my car is driving around town. Lots of stopping and going happening due to large uptick in traffic and construction. Lots of dust and lots of siting and idling waiting for a green light. I change the oil on the Nissan at 3000 miles. On my truck I am doing the...
