    Maybe you need to go back and read my post again. Apparently you got confused. I have emailed them and am awaiting a reply.

    SCAM! delayed orders and expedited service fees

    I recently ordered a custom cross draw pistol holster from a leathercrafter in NC. True custom where I selected a dark mahogony color, double black stiching and body shield. Price was around $130. While ordering the website brings up a warning that they are 8-12 behind in filling orders and it...

    Pennzoil Claims Formulation of Platinum Changed to Reflect New 15,000-mile Guarantee On Bottle

    Shouldn't be a problem except maybe in a GDI engine car. I own 4 port injection cars and routinely run OCI's of 12.5K-20K miles with zero issues. All with 15w-40 HDEO's. I may try the Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra Platinum in 10w-30 and run it 20 to 25K miles and see what the UOA says.

    Does Castrol need better products or marketing?

    I have got to admit that the redheaded Scot or Irishman whipping the #7it outta people with a dipstick was funny!

    Something different - vintage motorcycle detail.

    What a ride! I'm sitting at work and watching vintage bikes ride past in route to the Barbers Motorsports Park and Museum Vintage Motorcycle Weekend! Your bike sir would surely fetch a BLUE RIBBON! Gorgeous and well kept. Hats off to you!

    2006 Highlander 3.3L 3MZ-FE Heavy Sludge

    I understand that the 3.3 Toyo V6 had a "sludge" reputation but every time I see photos like these I wonder how many times the previous owners used non-detergent "SA" rated motor oil or how many miles they TRULY went between changes. I change my oil in my fleet of 4 cars on average of 12.5 to...

    Long Term 5w-30 use in Honda 1.5t

    Zero harm in going up grades especially with a DGI engine. The oil breakdown from fuel dilution from the direct injection fuel systems is a given.

    I intend to do a 15K mile run on my GR86

    I have run my entire fleet on 15w-40 with great results. Just ran my Scion 20K+ miles on Delo Syn with a great Blackstone report. I run 15K all the time with Delvac 1300 Syn Blend and it comes shining through. I do commute on the interstate and other than the Alabama heat, I rarely rag the...

    Liquimoly gun lube...YAYESSSSSSS

    After policing for 28.5 years and 28 years as a firearms instructor, I long decided long ago gun oil is like motor oil. It is all mostly marketing BS. Garands and Mini's were designed to use grease so use grease on the reciprocating parts. Use oil or dry lubes on the mechanisms. Some pistols...

    Good Store-Bought Cleaner / Polish ?

    StarBrite Boat/Marine Polish. It is my new "Go-To". Works great on vehicle finishes. Easy one and off. Stellar shine and appearance. I am biased as it is made and packaged in my home state of Alabama at their Montgomery facility.

    Walter P Chrysler's great grandson "letter to the people, saving Chrysler, a call to action" is Chrysler at risk of going under?

    Chrylser has been in dire straits for decades. Read Iacocca's books and find out how effed up Chrysler was when he took over. Chrylsers were never big in the Deep South and my dad always said "Dodges, Chrylsers and Plymouths always had good motors and transmission but their interiors and bodies...

    Do I want a 2009 Avalon with 202k on it?

    If no proof that it has already been done, I'd budget for replacing all the struts, probably the front control arms and sway bar end links, belt(s), hoses, anti-freeze, ATF, and water pump. Get that piece of mind you can go another 100K with minimal issues.

    2010 CR-V oil use...

    The last years of the 2.4 were the ones that Honda used the "low tension" piston rings that are notorious for gumming up.
