    Back down this road again: 0w-20 Civic 2.0 NA highway commuter car

    Big letters on top RECOMMENDED. The M1 ESP 0W-30 has good reviews and specs. You may find VERY slightly less mpg with the 0W-30. The ESP 0W-20 also has some very good approvals. What year? How many miles? How many miles per day/week/month? Does it burn/use any oil? When you change it next...

    2025 Honda Accord Hybrid- Pick My Oil

    For today, this week, this month.....Premium Guard filters or using up what you have. The M1 ESP's seem to be well recommended because of approvals. M1 has a 0W-20 Hybrid with supposedly different ad packs to accommodate the cooler engine temps etc. but discussions and if you check bottle shows...

    I was in the wrong and I don't care.

    Valvoline Restore & Protect

    But not yesterday. 1x 5qt 5W-20 was it (and single quarts at like $11 each). Manager checked his system for stock and most I pass didn't show any. Closest to work showed 10x 0W-20, no others. I went on way home they only had 3 jugs in the back. No VRP, at least 5 qt on shelves.

    Post your latest oil purchase or even filter.

    3x 5qt VRP 0w-20, 1x 5qt VRP 5W-20. I had some WM gift cards. Closest WM by me had the one jug of 5W-20 (on top shelf backwards) and no other VRP 5qt jugs any viscosity. Some of the other WM's I basically pass on way home from work showed no stock, any versions. The one closest to work showed...

    Did anyone see it happen? If not then maybe it didn't but you KNOW "someone" it did happen to and you were asking for a friend.... :whistle: 🙄 :unsure:

    water heater relief (2x) ... root cause help?

    Many new water meter if they have done any work around have check valves in them. Mine got upgraded a couple years ago and now has it. Prior to that you could hear water flow and see meter spin backwards/surge depending on water demands in the area (like sprinklers).

    @demarpaint - I think you are in Nassau IIRC. If you don't get it figured out. Middle Island NY - Orion 7 Enterprises my son had him do a bunch to his Garand. Need to call to make an appointment though if doing walk in type stuff.

    Feedback/Vibration in Steering Wheel

    When were struts (and maybe springs) changed last? If there is nothing to control the bouncing then you will get that on bumpy roads. They might be ok for compression but not rebound extension or vice versa. tire age? bubbles? belt issues? My sons Forte was getting a vibration at 70+ I didn't...

    water heater relief (2x) ... root cause help?

    Do you have an expansion tank on it? If not you should. They go bad and many T&P assumed failures are actually from the expansion tank. If it can't expand somewhere it will expand out through T&P. I believe it's code for a long time to have a potable water expansion tank on the cold water side...

    Psychic's? Believe or not?

    My mother-in-law would randomly frequent a few. She also used to do tarot cards with friends/family but not for money. Prior to all the phone ID's she would contact one in FL (we are in NY). Basically as I recall this lady had a waiting list and you would send a check with contact and she would...

    Valvoline Restore & Protect

    The one WM by me doesn't even have shelf space for it. Only thing I saw there was when they had one 5qt on clearance last year that I picked up. The WM 5 minutes the other way has had all the viscosities every time I went.

    Should I change type of oil for a vehicle that is burning it ?

    Not at all. I check my Accord at work every now and then as it's flat and my car sat for 8-10 hours. I check it at the gas station as described and it sits a couple minutes (with dipstick out) while I fill up. I might see about an 1/8" difference sometimes. if any of mine get to 1/2 way between...

    Should I change type of oil for a vehicle that is burning it ?

    Dad's fault :love: and a trait I passed to my kids (y). Small notebook in glove box. We write down date/miles/gallons and any other things done to that car everytime we get gas. 99.99999% of the time it gets filled up, no $20 thing. I normally check all my cars at the gas station the same way...

    Anyone doing a 'frankenbatch' of oil?

    Wouldn't that be Mobil 1.5? Intentional? I use a quart of HPL PCMO 5W-30 with whatever is going in a couple vehicles (PP Euro -L, Delo 5W-40, and others). I used the HPL EC30 in the same ones. The regular PCMO is supposed to be stronger for cleaning etc. Once my quarts of that are used up, I'll...

    5th gen 4Runner transfer case oil.

    5 posts in 22 years......He was able to find everything he needed without needing to add. Flying below the radar. Rumor has it he used German Castrol, PUP, M1 0W-40, ARX, some VRP and went incognito to the HPL open house and has used that also.

    You pick it I’ll run it: oil for 02’ Dakota

    Put a number on each version and use a random number generator like I did for which PG filter version for the Pilot.
