I'm a little late.. but @AutoMechanic 🎂 happy birthday!! always nice to give birthday wishes to a solid member of BITOG! (y)

wow that brings back memories.. was actually an awesome oil back in the day! I remember how consumer reports was testing oil and this one was one of the best.. today we just get a UOA! oh and ya it was the early 90s when this was on the market..

also from what I remember the IX center electrode is smaller diameter than the Laser Iridium center electrode, probably why the Laser Iridium (one of the reasons) lasts longer, more to wear down.

Also - the main in rebate for 11% off gives $2.10 back, final price $16.99.. $19.09 sale lasts until 4/28/24 and the mail in rebate offer is until 4/21/24.

Menards has Pennzoil Full Synthetic on sale for $19.09, then they throw in a mail in rebate after that (11%). 0W-20, 5W-20, 5W-30, 10W-30 all the same price for 5qt jugs. link showing all the oils (use pull down menu on right of webpage)...

yes it sure looks like it sucks! I've noticed in their "corporate speak" in the FAQ they're trying to get you to go to their discount tire store. I bet their strategy is to separate the discount tire brand into store locations and the tirerack.com will be their online website. I've been to...

I just read my emails from today.. Got the email from DiscountTire Direct, they say they're shutting that website down in favor of using Tirerack.com. As everyone said, Discount Tire bought out Tire Rack, but here's something interesting.. I looked up the stock size for my scion tC...

then it's always going to be a "catch-21".. because the consumer has already shown with the drop in demand that they won't buy something that isn't as good or better than the fossil fueled engine they have now.

and on my scion tc they come with z-rated tires!! (zw actually).. um.. I don't think the speedometer even is capable of what a z-rated (w) is!! But.. I do concede that the stiff sidewall is what they're probably going for.. That's associated with the higher speeds. You could put an H-rated and...

wow.. what a joke of a lease, with that low mileage Ford is signaling that they want low mileage when they send the leased car to auction.. meaning they know they're not worth much with higher mileage at auction because more mileage is closer to battery replacement! What is really "I told you...

thanks for the info, but for others.. this is the last of the us-made Bosch oil filters, the ones now made elsewhere are terrible quality.. Don't expect to run out and get a 3323 THIS good anymore. Hey, had to let the newbies know!

I was talking about @daves87rs comment on walmart's prices going up didn't know if he was talking auto batteries or milk.. I would expect adv auto to be very expensive no matter what day of the week.. glad you got yours cheaper!

prices on what? auto batteries?

also.. I ordered mine from summit racing, which they special ordered and it shipped directly from SMP. I meant the regular line not the value T-line of injectors. here's a link to summit racing https://www.summitracing.com/parts/smp-fj267

If trav cannot fix them (it does happen).. I'd recommend Standard Motor Products brand of new fuel injectors. I installed them in my 96 Civic (D16Y5) and they had been flawless (until the car was totalled in an accident), I got about 7 years on them.. They were manufactured in either South or...
