I guess a video I watched about a lady's new Jeep Cherokee being in the shop more than her driving it had some influence. Jeeps aren't known for reliability or fuel mileage. I bet most jeeps get just slightly better mileage than my truck with a 460 engine.12 versus 16ish. I would put the Lexus...

I would replace both sides.

I would stay away from anything Jeep. I rank it with all the overpriced and over-rated German cars. I've read mostly bad stuff about them. The Lexus would be my choice. The Maverick has good reviews, for the most part, availability and price may be another thing.

I guess it depends on the vehicle. I grew up using conventional oil and never had any problems. My dad about brainwashed me about using Mobile 1 synthetic. I use high-mileage synthetic oil in my van I'm using Penzoil for the first time ever and whatever is around, sometimes blending various...

You can buy Chevron Techron from Walmart. I think I spelled that right.

Consider what oil doesn't void your warranty. do you need receipts or for the dealer to do it? any popular brand of synthetic oil would be good.

I've knocked down fairly big trees with a dozer, the trees fell down easily. I guess it depends on the location and roots the tree has.

I thought of this with my wife and decided she was too hot-blooded to know how to shoot guns, I figured it would come back and bite me.

I recommend a dog. Pick something you think is scary. Would you get out of your car and walk up to your wife if this dog is there with her kind of dog. Maybe a pitbull or a German shepherd. If you buy a pistol I recommend a 38 special revolver, find a lightweight version of this pistol, easier...

I use 5-30 in mine, Thats what is on the filler cap also. Chevron Supreme has good numbers for additives. Cheap from Walmart. Mine uses oil so sometimes I buy what's on sale. Quacker State 5-30 is in my truck now. I buy semi-synthetic oil and it works fine. The 460 is not a fussy engine about...

I would wipe it off and take the car for a drive long enough to get it really warmed up. Then look again. Maybe an oil change would be a good idea. I think it's really nothing to worry about.

There are so many videos about head gasket/coolant in oil on YT, oil fuel dilution is the last of people's worries with eco-boost engines.

I prefer pouring quarts so I fill an empty a few times from a gallon jug. I keep the funnel in a clean rag and if it looks dirty at all I blast the inside with carb cleaner and it dries fast. I could try and use a pump I bought from Harbor Freight to fill the engine.

Most of those Star Bucks drinks are giant jolts of liquid-flavored sugar. Diabetes specials.

No safety inspections or emissions testing here. No rust on cars either. far away from a big city. Lifes good.
