Please tell us what’s so special about d1G3 when it can’t even protect GM’s own engines from self-destructing?

Mostly city-ish. Technically they’re state highways, but with stop signs every half mile to 2 miles, IMO it qualifies as city but it’s not idling in traffic. Truck averages about 19.6 mpg.

Not all EcoBoosts dilute the oil with fuel. My 3.5 EB had a GCMS of <1% fuel on a 14.4k mile OCI.

If they were really psychic, I wouldn’t have to call those folks on TV for critical advice. They’d give me a ring.

One Benjy. For a single purchase, not the end of the world.

Just found this at the local shack. I was eyeing another bottle of Old Forester 1920 when I saw this a few bottles away. I’m a sucker for OF’s taste profile anyways, so I decided the price premium was worth the admission. I wasn’t wrong! Quite possibly the finest single barrel bourbon I’ve ever...

That propaganda said “Peak Oil” occurred in 1974 or something like that. I think the reports are about 20% truth and 80% supporting higher prices thru fear.

And yet on the flipside, they offer a complete suspension lift for THREE different Subaru models, which combined sell about 1/5th of the F-150’s yearly total. Once you toss in the current BroDozer fad, the actual market for the F150 vs 3 Subaru models is probably 10X in favor of the Fords… Right...

IronMan doesn't make any shocks for the F-150, so any benefits of them are moot for literally the largest single market they could expand into. Millions upon millions of potential customers without any product available seems like a big miss, IMO.

I was referring to SimpleFlying.com's list of longest 737 flight routes that was updated in late May '25, so who knows.

It’s well-documented that some vehicles are more prone to consumption when switching brands as the chemistry/tribology does its thing. The only way to know for certain if it was an AFE thing with your vehicle would have been to run it 3 or more oil changes in a row. Generally speaking, the...

Again, why buy “inexpensive” oils that can create other problems down the road from where that oil cut corners, and then dump in a product that’s effectively adding ~30% to the cost of oil changes after you have to start using it? The technology is out there for ALL oil companies to make...

Opus X Oro Obscuro. I'll have to get a pic later.

You mean an anti-static bagged bare drive tossed into an otherwise empty shoebox isn’t sufficient to transport a precise electronic device?

Talking to Grandpa, who owned several sailboats and trawler-type boats during my entire life, when I said someday I’d like to have a boat: Grandpa: “Do you know what a boat is?” Me: Uhhh, well yeah… (DUH) Gp: “No you don’t. A boat is a hole in the water that you throw money into”

Well, at least you had a valid reason to be excited. Just wait til the OP finds Rural King’s oil aisle! 🤣

Extra heat is “extra” and will obviously take longer.

No, thicker oil will retain heat longer and also heat up at a faster rate.

Ok, and for that small fraction of panels, 15 years down the road, where are they going? Landfill. It’s an inescapable destiny at some point.
