I was actually going to ask about this. I know amazon isn't listed, but is it like the Mobil1 rebates where walmart isn't listed, but they still accept submissions from purchases there?

I totally respect that. Used oil gets recycled though, and if you buy something like mobil1 or pennzoil platinum when the rebates are going on, it's not bad price wise. 5qt jug of M1 0w-16 is $24.xx at my local walmart, $8 rebate out for it right now, 2 jugs max I think? Filter $5-$10. Without...

First and foremost I appreciate the detailed reply. Yes, I didn't say that and I should have. In my mind I was wondering, will the extra moly in TGMO be beneficial in vehicles with elevated fuel dilution. I've read speculation about M1 using trinuclear moly where less is required to do the job...

You. I will often not use quotes like I did here when I'm responding to person directly above me. I thought it was clear I was referring to you since you asked about an oil with better additive package, and I responded right below with tgmo oils which appear, on paper to have good additive...

That's not what he asked, he was asking for an oil with a stronger additive package which might help mitigate the issue. "So, a more thorough way to address the issue, apart from thicker oil, is to find an oil with an additive pkg better able to combat, or mitigate, the effects of gas in the...

I know voa's and uoa's don't show everything that's in an oil, but oem toyota synthetic oil seems to have a very stout additive package 0w-20 link one, link two 0w-16 https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/tgmo-voa-0w16-api-sp-gf6.336196/ good article on fuel dilution in general which echos...

Thanks for all the replies everyone (y)

Good point, I never considered under inflation stressing the shoulders

A member on a rav4 forum was asking about their tire cracking, curious to know what you think. 2018 rav4 with 30k, all four tires have the shoulder cracking

I agree with everything nobb has said. I think this is why some automakers, like Subaru spec an 11 year / 137,500mi replacement interval for the factory fill, and a 6 year, 75,000mi after the coolant has been replaced. They're acknowledging that you don't get everything out, hence the shorter...

Unreal. I don't see the problem with anyone coming into my driveway a little bit to turn around, especially if it's a business like fedex/ups/usps/etc who is highly unlikely to be doing something sketchy. Haven't we all done that at one point? I know I have.

Minute rice 2-packs that come in those little microwavable plastic cups, all varieties except brown and wild rice. Baked lays potato chips. I can find them, but they're often sold out at the grocery store chain I go to most often (Hannaford).

$5. I go to places like supercuts and great clips, and it takes maybe 10 minutes to cut my hair. Edit: I also get my haircut around every 3-4 weeks.

Just out of bored curiosity, what vehicle/engine is this?

Yeah I removed some from a lawnmower using a small flatblade screwdriver. Was my first time doing it and surprisingly it wasn't that bad, was able to reuse them too, they weren't in a critical spot in my opinion that I'm worried about them being worn. If you're worried about damaging them on...
