Spoken like someone who hasn't ever worked on tires, good to know. Probably the same lazy person who expects a tech to dig through their trash-infested car for a wheel lock. Get over yourself.

Description from LM's site: "Maintains and regenerates rubber and plastic seals in the engine oil circuit of gas and diesel engines. Oil consumption due to aged and hardened valve stem seals is reduced. No more blue exhaust smoke, improved emissions. External leaks are minimized or even...

High mileage 0w-40 doesn't exist, unless you want to homebrew it (say for example, 5 qts M1 0w40 and a bottle of Liquimoly oil saver)

Havoline Pro-DS. Gets the job done and has the amount needed for max capacity (dipstick reads short on the VQ40 if you put in less than 6 qts) Do 5w30 for winter time, switch to 0w40 for summer

Whoever neglects to inform a tech that there's tire sealant in the tire deserves to be charged double labor. Was not fun breaking a tire off and having that garbage spill

He didn't at all. Just another old-man-yelling-at-cloud post.

He has a solid point. If the car is going to burn out the front tires quickly no matter what, might as well throw on some sticky summers

Yup. An easy way to confirm would be if SN and SP have different part numbers

My uncle just bought a 2015 Camry 2.5l and doesn't want to go to the dealer, but wants to do fresh maintenance "by the book". I was just gonna do some Quaker State and Fram, but whatever.

I've tried calling the parts department of dealers near me, but they seem dumb. One gave me the excuse of the oil being in another building. I do have this part number for the oil, not sure if the SN and SP oils share that #: 00279-0WQTE-6S

Nobody is touching Supertech on the shelf ever since the suppliers/Walmart got greedy. Why get generic store brand oil when basic Quaker State synthetic or Pennzoil black synthetic is the same price?

78hp is unacceptable on our highways, that's just fact.

I wouldn't feel silly, the CX-5 is just a better car all-around.
