    Car buying and lessons learned

    the low MFR % rates on loans are usually only for 3 years and tier 1 credit. If you have neither you wont get that, but they use that hook to get you in the door. As was said your credit union will usually have a better rate than dealer financing so getting that done and out of the way is the...

    Picking up a leftover ‘16 Hellcat on Wednesday...

    Had a 15 HC Challenger I bought used and drove for 20k miles. Had to sell it due to a job change. Most fun/capable car ever made for the $$ Absolutely loved it. I WILL get another in a few years. UOA at 15k and 25k were very good using 5k OCI and P Ultra 0-40 with SRT filter. Even the summer...

    Mobil 1 0W-40 Question/s

    Interesting that your LT1 didnt like it. My 04 LS1 likes it. used it from 5000-30,000 miles with no oil consumption and all good UOAs. switched to GC just to see how that works. no UOAs on that yet though.

    Honda on-board computer oil "analysis"

    GM's oil life monitor does measure startups and how the engine is driven etc and goes off based on when the PCM thinks your oil has had enough. I cant speak for the new ridgeline but my 2004 Honda Pilots "oil life monitor" automatically goes off at 7500 miles no matter what the driving...

    0w-40 or 5w-40 in GM LS1 04 GTO?

    I wonder if the the thinner usa reccomendation is for CAFE and MPG reasons more than anything else. An LS1 in the US should use the same oil as one in australia, at least spring through fall. Winter may be a bit different depending on how cold it gets, but I cant see why the different oil for...

    GM on Oiled Air Filters deny warranty claims

    clean the MAF wires with non residue electrical contact cleaner and it should clear up the incorrect readings and the problem. I think this letter will just allow dealers to void warrantys solely based on the filter

    Oil for 2004 LS1

    My question is would the new M1 5-40 truck/suv oil be a good sub for M1 0-40 for my car. my LS-1 V8 (04 GTO also), calls for 5-30, ive recently switched to Mobil 1 0-40 because of the better wear it should give. BUT 0-40 is hard to find around here and this 5-40 would save me about $10 an oil...
