Hitch ball has saved my vehicle from damage more than once. People rear end you at red light or stop sign and hitch often takes the hit no damage to car or hitch normally. Favor was returned when my daughhter hit a truck with hitch and it did no damage to truck. Her car was totaled for it. No...

My 96 grand marquis has over 300k miles doing 20-30k mile ocis. Car idles smoother than my newer cars and pulls just as strong

I would switch to AMSOIL Signature Series and send it at least 12,000 miles with a good filter. I would check the oil level if you are driving fast it may use some oil at higher rpms. Highway use I would run heavier oil like 5W30 or 10W30. If higher in miles or consuimng oil maybe go to a...

I had trouble with my Snapper GT3000 garden tractor I was climbing some pretty healthy hills on my yard. Needless to say it stopped climbing one day and I could turn and go sideways just not climb the hill. I tried Mobil1 15W50 like many recommend and it worked but 2 months later needed it...

Bought some for my motorcycle and they worked great

From their website appears to restrict Amazon and Walmart but maybe it's only purchased online:

Agree and the last time gas went up they raised prices of nearly everything but when gas went back down prices did not follow. Now they want to raise them again and blame gas but we have already been paying for the high gas prices along the way

It says the rebate is not valid at Walmart but you said you bought it there. Hope you get it

They do make fogging oil if you plan to leave it sit a long time. That would be a better approach. Upper cylinder lubricant does very little and is very diluted.

Unless the Toyo tires have cracks or signs of dry rotting I would continue to run them. Spray the sidewalls with AT-303 to prevent the cracking but I often run tires much longer based on condition. An honest tire guy would tell you but many don't just to keep making money and they don't want...

Agree very bold claim especially with direct injection now. Can I claim my carbon buildup cleaning at the dealer from direct injection on Mobil 1 if I am using their oil?

One thing I don't like is they don't pull the drain plug. That can be a positive in that they won't cross thread or forget it. They vacuum it out change filter and add new oil. Low risk to screw it up.

I went with the Ruthenium plugs in my 04 Grand Marquis so they would last the life of the vehicle. Already had about 140,000 miles at that time now around 180,000. At first it felt like it idled smoother but that lasted about 10,000 miles and was back to a slightly rough idle. Car accelerates...

I drove a Nissan Altima rental car and that ACC was awesome. Every other rental that had majorly sucked especially 2 Toyota Corollas and Chvy Cruze. Even Chrysler Pacifica and Tahoe were not good. I think Nissan did well with their design.

My organization skills are also severely lacking. Father in law was organized and OCD which I need a little of. Sometimes I a buying things that I already have because I don't know where they are at. Not much help but you aren't the only one and hoping to get some ideas here.
