    Ford 3.5L V6 with 12 qt. of oil

    I thought that the 6.4 quarts that go in my 3.5L 2grfe was excessive!

    What's good, and not so good, in brake pads these days?

    Don't know if this is BS but this is what my AI told me. Several brake rotor brands manufacture their products in the United States. Some notable brands include Akebono, StopTech, and Wilwood. Akebono is known for manufacturing their entire aftermarket brake rotor and pad line in the USA...

    Minivans eat tires…anyone put XL rated tires on?

    I didn't mention it at the time but I do run my fronts at 40 PSI and rears at 38 PSI on road trips. Since it makes the ride a little harsh I lower that number a few pounds when I'm just driving around town. And I also went up one size in aspect ratio when I bought the Defenders.

    Is "Overlanding" a thing in your area yet?

    I built my bed and some storage to go into my sienna which I use to travel around the country on camping trips. I find it very convenient and comfortable but lately I've been thinking it'd be nice to have the added space of an aliner trailer.

    Minivans eat tires…anyone put XL rated tires on?

    I put Michelin Defenders on my Sienna. But they still need to be rotated every 4 or 5,000 miles religiously.

    Gm Invests in V-8 Engines Back pedaling on EVs

    I'm waiting for the new Toyota BZ to come out and then hopefully later get a Highlander hybrid as well (or a RAV4 hybrid). Meanwhile our national debt keeps climbing....

    2GR-FE is pretty easy on oil I guess...

    Let's see, I've got about 4,500 mi on my oil change that I did last month. I've been using mobil1 0w40, but I'm wondering is there a super tech synthetic that I could use seeing as how this engine is so easy on oil. I see super tech 5W-40 and now 0w-40, wouldn't be opposed to using a 0w30 or...

    The Prius is one heck of a name plate

    We have been driving Prius' for about 15 years now. I really like Toyotas hybrid synergy drive and it's reliability.

    2GR-FE is pretty easy on oil I guess...

    I am 2000 miles into my trip, currently camping in North Dakota. Of course, the engine has functioned flawlessly. I changed the oil before I left, with M1 0w40, It still looks pretty good.
