The Fran Ultras at the Miejers near me have a round clear seal over the top flap on the box so you can tell if it has been tampered with. But, yes there are not many store clerks around at these large stores anymore... BTY, the Ultras are $8.99, and $5 off if you buy two...so like $6.50 ea...

I roughed up the orange plastic on mine with sandpaper to take the sheen off, to help distinguish the oil sheen vs the plastic sheen...I think it may have help a bit.

Have have several "worst" OEM tires over the years, Goodyear Wrangler SRA's being one of them...currently replacing a set of Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422Plus (before winter) with only 22k miles on them.

AT tires are not winter tires, and surprisingly do not perform that well in snow let alone ice. If you are going with an extra set of rims go with a winter tire. If not there are some good all weather (not to be confused with all season) tires out there.

Originally Posted by Ded Mazai I'd be more concerned about the fuel dilution itself and how to prevent it. Bumping up the oil viscosity is not going to solve the problem. Yes I am concerned about fuel dilution which is why I am asking...the higher viscosity doesn't solve the problem, but gives...

Vehicle: 2018 Honda CRV 1.5l (GDI Turbo)...yes it is a fuel diluter Recommend Oil: 0W20...I now use 0W30 Sump Capacity: 3.7qts with filter change OCI: 5000mi Driving Style: Rural...minimum 10mi drive (one way) every time the vehicle is used. 20k mi per year, so I change the oil like every three...

Well, a co-worker of mine (maintenance engineer) bought a used vehicle years back because it came with "free oil changes for life"...and she was going to milk this deal for all it was worth, and then some. She commuted 40 or so miles each way to work and racked up three or four hundred thousand...

Here in Michigan with the road salt the vehicle is in pretty rough shape at 200k miles (around twelve years old)...the engine isn't the issue. I do agree with the 5000mi OCI on DI engines.

Does anyone know what this statement is supposed to imply? Is it that the issue was isolated to CRV's and Civics? or ?? Yes, my understanding is that the excessive fuel dilution issue is isolated to the civics and CRV's with the 1.5l turbo engine. I ha a 2018 CRV, and have thus issue with mine...

I believe the issue, in some vehicles, was the civics and CRV's...for some reason?

IMO, the mid 2000's was the sweet spot for Camery's...relative to what else was on the market at that time.

OP, I am interested in this same tire. How much was it to get theses mounted? Any trouble finding a shop to do it? Thanks

Something on the order of 13%...add 3.7 qts for an oil change, and drain out 4.3 qts the next oil change after 5000 miles.

Has - TGDI. Was asking if these diesel soec'd oils would work as well for gas.
