Thought I would post back here. Only 2,500 miles on the Telluride so far - still not sure what I will do long term but forgot I had several quarts of Amsoil XL in the stash so I’m going to use that for the first change. After that’s used up, then I don’t know - I’ll probably just buy two of the...
No - but I didn't get any discounts or incentives either. I lucked out - the model we saw had just arrived so it still had the original MSRP sticker on it. The dealer wanted to mark it up but I told them I wasn't paying a different price than what printed on the sticker. I did get the dealer to...
Yes, this here - if we are talking an otherwise equivalent oil with slightly more additives and the same price, why aren't we using HM oil all the time in everything? That's always confused me. I would understand if the HM version of an oil didn't come with the same API or ACEA specifications...
Just purchased a new Kia Telluride for the family. It's the first vehicle we've ever purchased new, and we are really enjoying the car so far. Any reason to not use Mobil 1 HM 5W30 in this? The owner's manual states ACEA A5 or above (*whatever "above" means), which HM does meet according to...
Looks like Walmart is offering $200 off the new SE if you order through their website. You have to purchase it on an installment plan through a carrier, but you can pay off the device after 30 days. I've purchased several phones through Walmart this way and it's a great way to save money if you...
I'm kind of partial to the older stuff - partially because I think older stuff is just cooler (mostly purchasing this gun to collect it) but I also think there's something to be said for the way they made things back in the day. I'm going to check some local gun shops for anything. Does anyone...
Ever since shooting my grandfather's Smith & Wesson .357 revolver I've always wanted to own a S&W revolver. I'm obsessed with the Model 66 in either polished or brushed nickel. Does S&W still manufacture the Model 66? Is there a newer alternative based off of the Model 66? I'm a casual shooter...
I put the Element3 pads on my truck and they've been great. Usually I get some squeaking with semi-metallics by now but these are so far quiet as a mouse. They were priced well, too. Stopping performance is just as good as the semi-metallics I used last.
Two things come to mind, both on a '93 GMC K1500.
1) The oil cooler inlet on the radiator started to leak just between the collar on the fitting and the radiator. I used JBWeld and smeared some around the small crack. Stopped leaking and never leaked again for as long as I owned it.
2) The...
jetman - how long did this job take you? I've seen this happen on a friend's Silverado (on the highway as well) and I'm just about convinced I should proactively replace these tees on our Yukon. It's an incredibly tight fit right next to the firewall - not looking forward to it.
I think I will try Mobil1 HM because I can pick up the exact amount I need (6 quarts) at Sams Club. I may wait until April starts to see if the rebates come out.
After finally fixing the leaking block off plate on my 6.2L Yukon I am able to see some additional seepage from the oil pan and what appears to be the front timing cover. Not too serious, but some minor seepage. Stays dry for about a week and then some moisture can be seen. I've been running the...
I pulled off the block off plate to check for any issues with the gasket or surface and found some very slight low spots on the block off plate - almost like corrosion or something. Just to be safe I ordered a new block off plate. I found a billet one from ICT that includes a rubber gasket for...
Trav - is this the stuff you are talking about?
