    Post milestone or just plain fun odometer pics!

    Or, you could try HPL No VII PCMO 10w20 and skip the hi-mi and voodoo juice… On a serious note though, why would you think your 2018 needed that stuff? Just curious. 👍🏻

    Can't decide between Amsoil and Redline

    Use the (at) symbol in front, so the people you’re referencing get notified in instances like this… @Pablo or @HPL Plant Manager 😉 Both of them give great customer service, you can’t go wrong with either. 👍🏻

    Can't decide between Amsoil and Redline

    Do you have KRL results on both oils? Probably can’t say which one is more shear stable without that data, since every single engine will have slightly different fuel dilution, points that may cause VIIs to shear mechanically, etc. If you do have KRL results, that would be sweet to see! 👍🏻

    Valvoline R&P 5W-30, 4K OCI, 2025 Subaru Forester

    SuperCar 0w30 would deal with it fine, and likely have somewhat lower temps too.

    Blazer EV SS - Nice!

    IF an EV makes financial sense for someone (I.e. living in major city and/or commutes <75 miles or so), the smallest, lightest EV makes the most sense and would be the most economical from operation, parking, and overall effectiveness. See Nissan Leaf, Model 3, etc. People that need a big SUV...

    Fram Ultra XG2, HPL 5w-40, 1.2k mi C&P

    IMO with the low miles and HPL doing cleaning, if this app has the filter hanging dome end towards ground, this is where I’d personally look for a base-end bypass filter even if it may not filter quite as well as an OG XG. Plus, there’s a good chance those filters are less expensive as well...

    Tallest building in Oregon sold for pennies on the dollar.

    Agree. But in the early 1990s before any of it was razed, the Governor had to deploy like 350 state troopers to Gary fulltime for awhile to get the murder rate under control. In a city of ~60,000. 😳

    Tallest building in Oregon sold for pennies on the dollar.

    Gary, IN met its urban decline decades ago, with downtown abandoned and dangerous as well. Their solution: raze anything that had been vacant & in disrepair longer than X amount of time. Yes, it was a shame to lose some of those historic buildings, but nothing was going to change without drastic...

    2025 Ram Hurricane I-6 dipstick deletion

    Technically, the Dart was available new from 2012 thru the end of 2016. That’s five whole years too. 🤣

    2025 Ram Hurricane I-6 dipstick deletion

    How many years did FCA make the Dart 2.0 for? Ah, yes. Four whole years.

    Rapidly onboard JP-5 to USS Abraham Lincoln

    Considering a KC-135 has a cruising speed of ~460 knots, even though I don’t have personal experience flying the SR-71, I’m going to say whoever told you that was pulling your leg harder than an F-14 pulled an arresting gear cable under full afterburner.

    Shell Ethanol sample - please advise

    Rev-X seems to be a fairly popular one. It’s been awhile since I’ve used mine, but TiGeo’s is pretty well delineated as well. Really only people with E-XX tunes need to truly worry about ethanol content. A little (0-10%) may cost you just a couple tenths of MPG, but ethanol adds some beneficial...

    Toyota ... warped rotors

    It basically restarts the bedding process on the rotor surface. Gets the pad and rotor hot enough it basically burns off the accumulated pad material. Have to let pads and rotors cool down for at least 10 minutes of gentle driving without stopping after or you’ll have done it all for naught...

    2019 F150 - Can't remember miles of last change - Check via OLM?

    I always reset both trip meters when I do the OCI including resetting the OLM. Then only reset Trip A at fueling, leave Trip B as your mileage counter. Only issue is it resets at 9999.9, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem for your vehicle.

    Toyota ... warped rotors

    “A series of ten partial braking events, from 60mph down to 10mph, will typically raise the temperature of the brake components sufficiently to be considered one bed-in set. Each of the ten partial braking events should achieve moderate-to-high deceleration (about 80 to 90% of the deceleration...

    Valvoline R&P 5W-30, 4K OCI, 2025 Subaru Forester

    No… I’m perfectly fine with 5w30 in everything. I’d probably even recommend it. 👍🏻

    Valvoline R&P 5W-30, 4K OCI, 2025 Subaru Forester

    For this application, OP is running a 5w30 where the manufacturer recommends 0w16. I would continue with this grade even if not oil type. For the average Jane using what Jiffy Lube dumps in ‘cuz the cap calls for it, you’re telling us you don’t think an oil that loses viscosity on its own, toss...
