    How many people prefer to use the dealer for services while under factory warranty?

    'Queenie Blue' here (traded in my 2015 F150 for a new 2024 Honda Odyssey EX-L hence the name change). Yeah - I have all my maintenance performed at a local Honda dealership (yeah I know the oem filters are Fram orange cans and the 0w-20 'full synthetic' is likely a semi-blend by Phillips 66...

    Post your latest tire purchase

    A few months back I purchased Michelin Cross-Climate 2 for my wife's '18 Honda Pilot from Costco when they were on sale...Nice handling, firm road manners, and impressive traction...Only beef is the 'hummm'.

    Lets talk about new vehicles

    Looking at a few options for a new vehicle...Brother works at a Ford dealer (family discount with no hassle)...Family of 5 - Explorer might be a good option, but the lure of minivans (Odyssey/Sienna/Pacifica) is still there, but alas no family di$count$... :unsure:

    Do All Motorcraft Oil Filters *Create* Debris?

    Do All Motorcraft Oil Filters *Create* Debris?

    May I ask what's the manufacturing date? I seem to recall there were some bad Purolator filters about 1 or 2 years ago - maybe related?

    Do All Motorcraft Oil Filters *Create* Debris?

    A bit late to the party here...Notice there's no visual on the top of the canister - no serial/date of manufacture...Is it an authentic made in 'Murica Motorcraft or a inexpensive copy from China? I recently purchased 2 from a local Meijer - manufacture date of April 19th 2023.

    Post your latest oil purchase or even filter.

    Picked up 2 more 5 quart Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage at my local Walmart for $23.78 each...With the current promotion I'll get a $20 gift card...So it's pretty close to buy 1 get 1 free. Pennzoil Promotion

    Pennzoil Full Syn...$16.01 at Menards

    Good to see 'Cheesehead' based business getting a foothold in other states (Menards and Culvers that is)...Hopefully Kwik-Trip gas stations/travel plazas will follow suit.
