Google "Killing a Toyota"... Top Gear did a multi part show on a diesel Hilux which is what is mostly driving around the Middle East. It's pretty awesome, even if you're not a Toyota fan.

My best friend has a 2007 Altima and was trying to sell it due to the CVT starting to fail with 99.xxx miles on it. took it to Carmax and they informed him that Nissan extended the warranty on them to 120,000. Not sure if it's the exact same trans, but def worth a look. Replaced for free.

We've been brewing the new Maxwell House "Intense Bold" at work...my new go to.

And Welcome to BITOG

Yes, page 9-2 in your owner's manual

5w30 is listed as an alternate in my electronic service manual at work, so you're in the clear. Just use 0w20 at the next OC and sleep easy.

Saw it today, $23.99 for 5 quarts and a driveworks filter....I'll trade up for a better filter but that's actually the deal I'm going for this week. Havoline Syn is fine oil, though not talked about much and a only 1 or 2 UOA's. There is an excellent UOA for it in a Dodge Caliber SRT4, just...

Thanks guys, I was looking and found this article that seems pretty good. http://www.dieselpowermag.com/features/1201dp_10_best_used_diesel_trucks I would really like to find a 97-98 Ram from a price stand point, but I found a 99 superduty on auto trader that looks great too.

I just don't know a whole lot about Powerstroke/Duramax/Cummins. I did hear that one of the Powerstrokes in the last 8-10 years was prone to bad injectors, but that's about it. I would love to have one if I can justify it, but was just curious to see if anyone has any stories, good or bad...

New to me vehicle: 2007 Suzuki XL7 Out: Formula Shell + Milegaurd ecore (Jiffy Lube) In: M1 5w30 + Fram Ultra XG10060

Looks like we may go with a 2007 Suzuki XL7. Lengthened Equinox platform with GM 3.6L. Checking it out on Tuesday.

Change it at 90k and get back on track...trust me, Lexapro and even Ativan for that matter, don't always help lol

Will do, I've got a few days to look around before the rental is due back.

Thanks ddtmoto, that's a deal breaker...no way I'm buying that now. She wanted a van anyway, so maybe she'll go for the Sienna. I love toyotas...my dad has a Tundra with 220000 miles with zero issues...he just bought an FRS and passed the truck on to my little brother. My mom is buying a new...
