Hmm, the Sunoco I use fairly often has the top tier stickers on all the pumps and official Sunoco signage touting the cleaning ability of the fuel. Is it possible the list hasn't been updated since Sunoco became top tier?

I use the 9 mil thickness ones from Harbor Freight. I recently got a pair of Hart gloves from Wal Mart in case I plan on doing some knuckle busting work, I like them a lot so far.

Wonder how long until someone snatches the cat off of it.

My family always had GSDs growing up, they are such great dogs. A couple of ours did develop hip dysplasia when they got older. I would agree that it is made worse by the breed standard set by the AKC. If you look into the breed many years back the straight back is much more common and accepted...

If it's in his budget I would go ahead and replace the coil also. He might as well since he will be right there and its just two screws and two wires holding it in place.

If the wheels are really bad you might need to take them off and get them nice and clean and then try and stay on top of keeping the inside of them clean after that. Mine are painted so it was easier than raw aluminum. I took them off, cleaned them really well and put on some good sealant.

I've used Mitsuboshi timing belts on most of my cars over the years and who knows how many customer cars. I wouldn't have any worries using one. High post count doesnt equate to knowledge or experience.

I recently put some of these in my wifes car. I probably wont ever have to replace them again as little as she drives.

I have replaced the radiator in my Integra and CRV with Denso parts from RA. They both have been trouble free for a few years now. FWIW the one in the CRV was made in China and the one for the Integra was made in Taiwan.

So I happened to come across this VOA for Valvoline Premium Blue Restore. Link for those interested. I searched and I couldn't find any VOAs for this oil yet on BITOG.
