The Motor Oil Greek just posted a new video on Valvoline Restore and Protect. Restore & Protect vs Deposits (500,000 Mile Engine Tear Down Reveals All)

Yeah, that's fair. But, I still like the contest. Everytime you buy their oil, you're not spending money, you're investing in a future payout. Of course, rationally, I get the point - highly unlikely it will be paid for various reasons (life gets in the way, your car gets wrecked, something new...

Curious if anyone here is making a run at the Quaker State Cash Back Program (i.e., the one where they pay you the trade-in price of your vehicle up to $3,000 - you keep your car - if it hits 300,000 miles within 20 years using Quaker State synthetic oil). You’d have to drive on average at...

It's not just YouTube and AI. It's all of it. My phone is almost not usable anymore. 95% of incoming texts and calls are scammers.

Yeah, for me, I didn't see it on the shelf, and the guy just pulled them for me from the back. No problem.

I finally decided to switch to 5W-30 from 0W-20 on my 2AR-FE. Noticed on a Car Care Nut Video @ 54:19, he says the 2AR-FE "was originally designed for 5W-30."

Before anyone thinks removing speed limits is a good idea, I suggest a visit to the State Boyzzz YouTube channel and see what it looks like when someone goes 140 or even 160 MPH.

Not like the old days - remember in Driver's Ed for speeding tickets there were people in there for 57 in a 55, 59 in a 55, 61 in a 55. Now, driving only the speed limit even in the right hand lane doesn't feel safe.

Maybe yours is just one of those Camry lemons that only lasts 24 years and 200,000 miles.

Advance Auto Parts right now is having a clearance sale (around 80% off) on Purolator and Fram filters. Got a Purolator engine filter for $5 and a cabin air filter for $6.

I rented a Chevrolet Trax LT last weekend for work. Really, really like it. Such a great value compared to the past. When I was young, a 1985 Chevette with with A/C and an automatic transmission was $7,050 (the same inflation adjusted cost of a Trax LS, which is a superior car in features and...

Have always run 0W-20 in my 2013 Toyota Camry 2.5L 2AR-FE. That's what my owner's manual says (except you can use 5W-20 if you switch back to 0W-20 on the next oil change). But, this video says at 2:45 "For oil recommendations and maintenance, Toyota suggests oil such as 0W-20, 0W-30, 0W-40...

Looks like Idemitsu discontinued their High Mileage 0W-20. Guess that's why it was so hard to find lately. They have some new IFG line. "Introducing the all-new IFG Series of engine oils precision-tailored to provide peak performance thanks to cutting-edge nanotechnology. Idemitsu now provides...

Here you go...

I didn't buy counterfeit "Toyota OEM" oil filters. These were OEMassive, bought through AliExpress. But, they don't seem any better than counterfeits. The Car Care Nut discussed and illustrated counterfeit "Toyota OEM" oil filters on his video. Here is an example of some that I suspect might...

Well, I could have exercised some common sense, and just assumed the worst. But, I had to go ahead and buy one to see for myself. Let’s just say, it’s exactly what you'd expect. Took it out of the box and squeezed it. Yeah, it’s just like the Car Care Nut showed on his video about counterfeit...

If you want to see a video of the packaging of filters in "Genuine Toyota Parts" boxes is done, here is a link: AliExpress. No way I would buy a Toyota product anywhere except from a dealer, whether its online or in person.

No intent on hyping up the cost savings. I had done 5,000 miles / 6 months. But, am now doing to 3,000 miles / 3 months, because I own a car with one of Toyota's fragile 2AR-FE engines that should be over maintained to hopefully avoid or delay the point when it becomes an oil burner. I'm not...

Thanks. I don't know anything about either one on the filter. Just trying to figure out whether it's worth going down the least expensive possible route I could find vs. OEM. The least expensive route results in a savings of $90.64 per year (assuming 4 oil changes at 3 months or 3,000 miles). I...

Curious if anyone has tried OEMassive oil filters? I've seen them for about $1.60 a filter vs. $4.30 OEM. Of course, $2.70 not worth the risk if they're no good. But, curious if anyone has tried one out.
