I had thought about Maxlife because it does have a small oil leak somewhere. This is my first MB so I am in a big learning phase.

Maybe 10K yearly. Use a 15w-40 in a gas engine? Also, what about tranny and diff fluids? Thanks for the answers. PS-found some info where previous owners had used Castrol 20w-50.

Bought a C280 with 192K. What would be the preferred oil to use for 5K OCI? Mostly hwy miles.

Hey Kool, I have been running Maxlife 10W-30 in my 89Toyota 4X4 (236K) for about the last 40K at 5K intervals. No problems so far. I tried Supertech HM this last time and so far at 3K its running great. Have you evr tried it. I may stick with it since I change oil about every two months. I also...

Got the 5 qt jug at WM for $7.88. Thought I'd give it a try in my Toyota 4X4 with 233K. Wondered if anyone had used it and what was your opinion.

It looks a little worse. 16 year old girl hit a parked car, not wearing seatbelts and she and her friend hit and shattered windshield. Thy are ok. Her father sold the car to a friend of mine. Looked for an oil filter today and it lists two different engines. Haven't picked up the car yet so I...

She ran it hot plus it has alot of electrical issues. It was wrecked and she didn't have anyone check it out before she bought it. I bought a 91 Corolla DX today. It has minor front end damage (bumper and headlight) and needs a new windshield. It has 146K and runs great. Paid $600. May hang onto...

Hi guys. I'm looking at a 95 Corolla for my stepdaughter; her 90 Accord finally died. It's a LX, auto with 152K on it for $2000. Have not driven it yet but the body seems to be in good shape. Wondered if anyone had owned one and what problems if any they had. Thanks for all replies.

There were five stolen in my area in just the last week. This is the first time I have heard of this happening.

Old subject I know but I have not seen a solid answer. I have narrowed my choices down to two; Motorcraft or Havoline. If they are both a blend then it won't matter-probably won't matter anyway since I do 3k OCI's. There are only pennies difference in price in my area and Walmart stocks both...

My wife works from home and is always sticking those sticky notes to the comp screen. I tell her that it's not a good idea but she doesn't believe me. Am I correct or not? She might believe an answer from you guys. Thanks, Pete

Forgot one. 2004 John Deere L120 @ 150 hrs. Chevron Supreme with a Havoline filter. Going to Maxlife 10W-30 @ next change.

2001 Sentra 2.0---5K 2006 B2300-----Changing to PP at next O/C, 5K also. Stocked up at AAP.

1989 Toyota 4 X 4-------230K Maxlife 10W-30 2001 Sentra SE 2.0---------55K PP 5W-30 2006 Mazda B2300--------17K Valvoline A/C 5W-20 Purolator and Motorcraft filters.

My Dad and Mom bought a 96 motorhome with a 460 ci engine. It's a 29 footer with only 19K on it. Don't know anything about previous maintence. He changed the oil when he first got it and put Castrol Syntec 10W-30 in it. It's driven about every other weekend for anywhere from 50 to 200 miles...
