    While I agree with your first paragraph i don't see how that answers my question. I know that most American made vehicles are not desirable to Europeans (or anybody else for that matter) but I do believe that thousands of Corvettes, Mustangs, Hellcats etc...would easily sell in Europe if they...

    Can somebody explain to me why it's fine for another country to have a 30% or 40% tariff on American goods but it's terrible if we put half of that (tariff wise) back on them?

    Castrol Magnatec 0w20 vs Castrol GTX Full syn 0w20

    Former member Gokhan was not a big fan of the SP rated Castrol ‘Full Synthetic’ 0w20 due to its ‘thin base oil and high VII content’. See his opening post of November 2022 thread “Could Castrol Edge EP be the best 0w20 out there”.

    Mazda CX-30

    I doubt Mazda made any changes to access the transfer case fill plug as they don't have a recommended fluid change interval listed in their OM. I used a small Dremel type tool (there wasn't room to use a normal size one) and burr bits to grind away material to access the fill plug...at 65K miles...

    Triple Lab Showdown - HPL Premium Plus PCMO 0W-30

    This just reinforces why I'd rather spend the money on an oil change than on an 'oil analysis'.

    TPMS question

    My brother gave his 2008 Hyundai Sonata 2.4 to my daughter who just got her license. It has close to 150k but runs great and uses next to no oil. (I've maintained it and usually change the oil at 5 to 6k.....it might take about 8 or 10 ounces of oil to bring it up to the top of the FULL line at...

    A follow up to my latest thread - Dealing with car insurance companies.

    I've been thinking of changing insurance companies to save some money and I'm thinking the companies that have a gecko or an emu must be less expensive than the companies that pay athletes to sell their products?

    HPL 0W30 Premium Plus UOA 6,013 miles 2022 Camry 2.5

    I see that running 30W in an engine spec’s for 16W had no ill effects (as I would have thought). This leads me to conclude that running 20W in an 8W spec’d Toyota should also be fine? (except for possibly a miniscule hit in MPGs).

    Prime Guard oil filters now under Highline Warren

    The Rural King store in Florida that I purchased the Prime Guard filter in also has a handful of 'Ecogard' filters which seem to be the same filter (although painted blue rather than black like the Prime Guards). I'm fairly sure it's another 'Premium Guard' made filter. Sadly, if this RK is...

    Prime Guard oil filters now under Highline Warren

    The filter in the new box is identical to the older PG filters and made in China so the only difference is WH is the middleman now.

    Peak 10X is no longer a pHOAT.

    Sayjac....Do you think this new PEAK 'Titanium' is just the 10X rebranded? I have a few gallons of the non 2-EHA concentrate so I'm good for a while but I'm curious if it's the same as the new Titanium stuff.

    Prime Guard oil filters now under Highline Warren

    I bought a basic Prime Guard POF 4476 oil filter at Rural King yesterday for $1.99 and noticed the box has been updated from previously purchased PG filters. It also says "Distributed by Highline Warren LLC" on the new box.

    9mm vs. 38 Spl

    I agree with the 357. I didn't know about 'rimless' ammo which answers my question for the most part. I live in restrictive NY which forbids me carrying in NYC where I need it most (although recent SCOTUS decisions may change that). I haven't been into 'guns' in along time but the current...

    9mm vs. 38 Spl

    I realize that 9mm and 38 spl. projectiles are very close in size but the actual 38spl. bullet is significantly longer. I'm wondering what difference this would make in a revolver. In other words would a snub nose 38 have more velocity/ energy than the same barrel length snub nose 9mm? 9mm ammo...

    Monarch 9mm 115 grain brass case

    OT but related....I notice that they sell a 9mm 'Luger' and a 9mm 'NATO' round. What's the difference?

    Can a GDI engine blacken oil in just 25 miles? (See pics)

    My GDI Focus definitely darkens the oil faster than my non GDI Escape with engines from the same engine family (Duratecs which are Mazda MZR derived). The Focus usually starts to darken the oil after about 2 to 2.5K miles but certainly not after 25 miles. I think your dealer is either mistaken...
