    2014 Diesel Cruze / Dexos2 5W-30

    I have a Cruze Diesel and so far it has been a good car. Only 12k miles though. Why is there so much stressing about the GM Dexos 2? The oil is free for 2 years and after that you can buy it online of less than $6/qt. I don't understand what all the brew-ha-ha is about Q

    Chrysler to build their small cars in China

    Very true Jett. Unfortunately, many American people are distracted by the cares of this world and whatever the TV tells them to buy/sell/wear/eat/think/etc. And you are correct, one day it is very possible we wake up and millions are screaming: How did this happen? James

Yes, it is mostly due to lower labor costs, but the primary reason is China is keeping the American government afloat. As America is floating 2-3 billion a day in debt to fund the wars we are waging, some...

    Is it less civil on BITOG, or is it just me?

    I've been a member for a while and have noticed the hostility growing in recent times. It's like if someone does not like a post or the subject of the post, they slam the poster instead of just "movin on". If a reader does not like a post, then quit reading it. JKH

    JAG - I believe it was a very cool test ... thanks for sharing it. Whether or not it conforms to one of the plethora of standards is not the issue. I do believe it reveals "some" strength or weakness of the oils tested. Please do more and don't let those that sleep with protractors bother you...

    Privatization of Higways and Roads

    Here is an interesting question ... If a road is private ... meaning American or foreign corporate ownership, are American taxpayers required to fund law enforcement on those highways? Must we pay both toll and taxes? I know we will, but I have no desire to fund HW Patrolmen on a private road...
