We used to really like Harlen Coben series shows. They have turned the way you describe. Sometimes it's funny to watch a 100lb person tossing 250lb muscular person....

Sometimes you can walk around a corner and find them in a different isle. It needed some as well and had to purchase the clamp on kind. There is also a tungsten shortage, which affects fishing jigs. Maybe lead is making up for the shortage of tungsten?

Throw some Supertech in their and you'll have the graph for a 2026 Oil Change brand summary from the site reporting......

My 2020 Wrangler that usually takes a winter nap with fresh, clean oil after only 3000 miles of Spring-Fall use will probably have to sleep with 3000 mile oil this year. it's not that I can't afford $10 more, it is that the price increase justifies keeping high quality Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30 over...

I replaced my 2017 NA3.5L 6speed F150 with a 2024 Ecoboost 3,5. I want my 2017 back. It was a simple truck overall, having less tech, and it idled smooth. The tech in the 2024 is flighty, choosing to lock up at times, and the 3.5 idles rough. I’ve had the 2.7 before as well. It was hard to...

I'm always reminded how thankful I am to have a pre-Covid 2020 JLU. It seems to avoid all the recalls and problems 2021 and greater have experienced. Good luck to all of you. I am sure my turn is coming....

I bought the last 4 $3.00 quarts of Full Synthetic Supertech 0w-20 at Walmart yesterday. Now I have 2 oil changes in stock for my daughters Camry for the price of one, having bought 5 quarts at $3.00 earlier when I found them the first time.

I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a pet, especially a dog, is a terrible thing to live through. Our dog degraded over the last year of her life. There were times when I prayed for her to pass on, mainly so I didn't have to take her in and put her down on my own, but so she would have relief...

I haven't read through this, but I think part of it is that the gear oils generally used would eat the bronze on the bushings. My YJ was spec'd for ATF. You could use Bronze safe gear oil in the YJ transmission instead.

Yes. My son had a 98 Altima as his highschool car. I need to do an oil change and some other items, so we jacked it up and let it sit overnight to drain. When I came out in the morning, the tires were nearly touching the floor. The jack points had crushed under the weight of the car, and the...

Most dealerships in my area have also adopted this mentality as well. I have also bought 2 vehicles locally in the past 5 years and got the same response as Carmax: We don't negotiate.

I bought 2 cars from Carmax and really enjoyed the experience. First vehicle was a 2012 Volkswagen Routan. It was prices slightly higher than most, but was very clean and had very low miles. This was pre-2020 and you could still get a 2 year old fully loaded minivan for $20k. I think I paid...

I bought 5 quarts of Supertech 0w-20 on clearance for $3.00 today. All single quarts were marked down to 3. My daughter’s next oil change will be $15 plus the filter. I also got an old red jug of Valvoline Max-life 5w-30 for $22 on clearance. The new silver jug for the oil was $35 on a different...

2019 Honda Odyssey 115,500 miles-ish Out: Northland oil, WIX filter 9000 ish miles on the oil In: Supertech high mileage 0w-20 Mobil 1 filter My son just bought this van. He didn’t buy the Valvoline Restore and Protect as I suggested.

Should we all stock up on tires? What about antifreeze? Why only engine oil and not transmission fluid or gear oil? I hear blinker fluid is up 10x! Maybe stocking up on a couple cars would be prudent? A couple early 2000’s Hondas will keep you going a long time. Everything goes up in...
