    Recommendation, one oil for the garage

    If the Nissan does not consume any oil at 70K -- hard to beat the Mobil EP 0W20. Personally I like 0W20 QSUP for the money also for your intervals. Prior advice going to 5W30 was good too..

    Where to buy East Penn/Deka Battery

    Worked there for 3 years from 1999 till 2002. East Penn/Deka Batteries are the name of the Company/Manufacturer. Great company to work for and the highest employer in the County. I could not take working 3rd shift and the 45 minute drive one way home in the mornings any longer. Still privately...

    I feel your pain also, was going to change the oil on a struggling Mothers car today but it being 7 degrees/real feel. Told her it can wait until Monday after work. You got some meats on the front of that Caravan -- great idea. I feel this way though and hence me buying my house in Pa.. If its...

    Post your latest oil purchase or even filter.

    Purchased at Tractor Supply last Saturday and arrived on Wednesday. Can't beat GL5 rated full synthetic gear oil for less than 20 bucks with tax per gallon.

    My son and I on a pheasant hunt last week.

    Great job & quality memories with your Son. I LUV pheasant on the rotisserie, dated a girl whos Dad raised them. Would take them over to his best friends property and release. We ate pheasant often. Not an easy bird to kill.

    96 Chevrolet Celebrity. Opinions?

    You said no emissions but does your State have inspection? Even $1300.00 -- I would like to get the closest to a year out of it I could. I know a buddy of mine did a heater core on his Corsica 3.1L back in the late 90s. Engine was reliable but alitte on the thirsty side if remembered correctly.

    0W20 List of long drain motor oils

    If you look at the UOA section and some of the 0W20 results -- hopefully -- you will get a better understanding with which oils to extend or not in that weight. I have noticed some really low wear rates myself of SuperTech Advanced 0W20 and for 5-6K would be great for a price point.

    A tale of two Fram PH7317s

    Nice work, would not worry about who was building them based on those pictures for a 5K run.

    Test drove a $2500 Grand Marquis today

    Drivers side window is a must. Older vehicles like that are "always" needing something. I know with my Tundra.

    The Battle of the EP Oils

    Would have to run the Valvoline EP and Castrol Edge EP and get back to you on this one. That would be many many years down the road. I am referring to my Tundra.

    2008 Toyota Tundra 5.7L (161K) One year of service drained through the petcock. Used this last year also. Used the spill free funnel and worked like a charm.

    FRAM PH4967 ??? (with pic's.)

    EXACTLY, 3 for 3 -- no need to go further. Bad batch --- feasibly harmless but who wants to buy a brand new filter and have to second guess from the get go if its ok or not???

    FRAM PH4967 ??? (with pic's.)

    Went down to my local Walmart where I go 90% of the time to any of them. Walked back to the oil,filter, etc. isle. Grapped this FRAM PH4967 and this is what it looked like. Grabbed the one underneath it and it was the exact same. Grabbed the one behind it and it was the same. I stopped there --...

    Old Buick 3800 with slight oil leak

    I was down at my local Walmart yesterday. Quaker State on the shelf besides the HM FS was jus the All Mileage. Assuming, you would have to order the QS HM Synthetic Blend offline?

    Is there a wheel cleaner that actually works?

    Awesome feedback, on my 2023 Rav4 XSE Hybrid the rims are black and consistently needing attention. Yes, I know they are black. Ordered the P&S professional detail gallon jug. Seems budget friendly and hopefully I can get away with just spraying on and rinsing off once initially cleaned by hand...
