    Broken link. VML is working great. The wife is daily driving the SUV and the summer heat was no problem.

    Any Horror Multi-Vehicle ATF Stories?

    Have to fix broken link. You can verify compatibility from the fluid manufacturer's website or with the label.

    Honda ATF change questions

    I trust the fluid company more than I trust Honda because they have more customers to lose. That's my opinion based on great results with Valvoline MaxLife Synthetic ATF over the years with several cars.

    12,335 miles between synthetic oil changes! Never again!

    I used to have a small WokeTube channel that made me a tiny amount of money, but I don't have enough hits on Rumble to get anything besides a quart of fluid. ☹️ I'm so glad that I don't film for a living!

    Most people here know how to change motor oil and filter, so I wanted a short more stylish video and save time.

    Doing own oil changes under warranty?

    No need to worry, the car will be out of the factory and extended warranty by then! :giggle: I keep receipts because you can sell a car for more money to a private party if you have maintenance records to go with it.

    Post your latest oil change

    This is not the latest oil change, but it is typical. Motor oil + filter sale of Mobil1 High Mileage and Purolator Classic filter. I usually buy the O'Reilly brand 5w-20 conventional oil + MicroGard filter combo that's regularly on sale. I change it when the Maintenance Minder pops a notice or...

    12,335 miles between synthetic oil changes! Never again!

    The car is already past 212k miles so "whatever is on sale" works just fine. :sneaky: I quit using synthetic oil and name brand filters, unless they are on sale too. I just buy the motor oil + filter deals and call it a day. The brand of oil, high mileage or regular, synthetic or dino, the brand...

    No, it's not. Duh... Just because the oil is still good doesn't mean I want the contaminants in suspension circulating around my engine any longer. Some of you are morons.

    Peak Coolant....is it any good?

    I used Peak Long-Life Full Strength + distilled water in a 2008 Nissan Altima. No problems to report. It's had Nissan OEM, Zerex Pink Asian, and dealership mystery coolant in it. It's now at 212k miles.

    Turkey baster method

    Here's my turkey baster change of the Power Steering Fluid in a 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 S. I empty and re-fill the reservoir 3x within a week of driving. The PS pump keeps the fluid mixed when the engine is on, you can see this at the end of the video. This is how I get rid of the odd bottle of...

    Oh yeah, the CVT is the weakpoint in Nissan vehicles. I switched to Valvoline CVT and use the same interval as you, 30k miles or 3 years. I haven't changed the filter, too lazy to figure out where it is. I just unbolt the pan and let it pour out. The owner's manual doesn't even list capacity or...

    12,335 miles between synthetic oil changes! Never again!

    I'm not saying change it as soon as it gets dark. I'm saying change it to get rid of the suspended contaminants that make it dark. At some point, even a filter isn't going to be enough even if the oil itself is still OK. Not going to get a UOA, the car has 212k+ miles. I'll just change it every...

    It was still lubricating the engine. I just wanted the gunk out that was suspended in the oil.

    I agree. This change was done years ago, but I'm not going to wait so long between oil changes. I was using Mobil 1 Synthetic then. I just use whatever is on sale nowadays.

    Unfortunately, I did this oil change years ago and I would've sent you sample. This car managed to survive the wife! ;) It's a good thing that she's so pretty and can cook!

    12,335 miles between synthetic oil changes! Never again!

    I know what color new oil is when I pour it in. That tells me that the old oil had a ton of impurities suspended in it, which is one of the reasons why you change motor oil. The motor oil itself might still be OK, but why keep particulates circulating around your engine for so long? I'm not...
