Welcome to BITOG!

Does your Vue have an OLM? And is 7500 what it suggested? At least Napa has them on sale this month! There's also the Mann HU 6007x (a real Mann, made in Spain, as opposed to the ML1015 which is a reboxed Classic) MUCH better quality

Most cars go to the junkyard with their original ATF. Most cars NEVER get a transmission fluid change! I think you should change the fluid as soon as soon as you can, hopefully by the end of the month. There is nothing wrong with changing the fluid now. The only time you shouldn't change it...

Your Rolls-Royce had too much Grey Poupon, so now it fails to proceed

Maxlife is great stuff and very popular here. Yes, it will work for WS, which isn't really all that good. There is also Mag 1 Low-Vis and Peak Synthetic ATF.

Almost every new car from the past 5 years has no-profile tires that are WAY too big, too expensive, and hurt MPG. You know what they'll do? They'll balk and keep running those bald tires and maybe get a couple mismatched used tires if they fail inspection. There is NO need for 20-inch...

single quart bottles? They seem to have cut down the availability of single quart Maxlife ATF, and now not as many stores carry it. Of course the parts stores have it but they're so expensive, $2-3 more per quart! I like using single quart bottles when changing ATF on Hondas because they...

Replacing the speakers is easy as long as you don't have stupid [censored] like Bose. Almost everybody, stock and aftermarket, uses 4-ohm impedance, except the aforementioned Bose and some other specialty setup is that your Accord doesn't have. Any name brand speaker will do. I like to go for...

You should've picked up the Fram Ultra, which is also good for 15k just like the M1 EP. That combo could be run to 15k.

Denso for Japanese cars (usually the OE supplier or reboxed OEM), Mann or Mahle for European cars (usually the OE supplier for them anyway). Nothing wrong with the TG and P1 air filters, either, but they're not available for every car. They have only a slight amount of oil on them, nowhere near...

Why not have it shipped to your work address?

Napa synthetic is rebranded Synpower. Use it for 7000 miles with confidence It goes on sale 2-3x a year, for $3.79/qt. It was on sale last month.

ST synthetic made by WPP, probably close if not the same as all the other house brands they make and Mag 1 which WPP sells under their own name. What viscosity are you using? The 5w30 says it meets the old 4718M standards (what GM called for in pre-dexos Cadillacs and Corvettes).

In that case, any 0w20 will work for 10k in your case. Some Walmarts are starting to get in Magnatec, which is full syn in 0w20 and 5w20. (the 5/10w30 Magnatec is a blend) QSUD is also another good choice. Too bad they don't make ST syn in 0w20! You just missed the Napa synthetic sale, but...

If you're interested in max fuel economy, you can drop down to a 20-wt M1 AFE 0w20 or really any 0w20 synthetic. I'd use the cheapest syn on sale, unless you're going for an extended OCI. Toyota oil chart
