Think I try 5k oil changes with 5-20w M1 and a Honda filter.

Will Fix-A-Flat throw the wheel ot of balance?

Mom just bought an 05 Civic VP. Under "normal conditions" the OCI is 10k. What makes Honda different than all others?

Will they be able to find the original hole with all that gook spread inside the tire?

I used a can of Fix-A-Flat after picking up a roofing nail after Hurricane Katrina. No tire repair shops open. Can I count on this as a permanent repair? Seems to be holding up for the time being.

What about Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20 full synthetic?

A friend just purchased an 05 Ford Ranger with a 2.3l four cyliner. I think the engine is a MAZDA design. Any oil recommendations would be appreciated.

It's not really about longevity for me. I don't doubt Toyota quality, but it seems the 3.8l GM is pretty reliable also. I'm just thinking that if you could get the benefits from a larger car (LeSabre) with only a minimal hit at the gas pump it's sound pretty enticing.

Mine is automatic. It's not uncommon for the new Corolla to get <25 mpg city. Check the Corolla forums.

97k miles seems high, but I've been reading about many LeSabre's getting >200k miles. I wonder why the 3.8l in other GM models, e.g. Impala don't get the mpg or have the reliability of the Buicks.

My 05 LE was rated at 30 city/39 hwy ... I actually get close to the 39 hwy, but from reading other Corolla boards the current generation usually gets between 22-26 city. Am I correct in assuming the 3.8L GM gets about 20 city?

The more I've been reading about the 3.8l LeSabre the more I'm discovering it's a pretty good car. My Corolla is only getting 23 mpg city. I could be driving a big comfortable Buick and be getting 20 mpg city.

Which has the best detergent additive package? Mobil Drive Clean? [ June 13, 2005, 08:46 AM: Message edited by: Gary Allan ]

What about the countless people who claim to use FRAM exclusively and raked up serious trouble free miles?

I thougt some Nissan engines weren't supposed to use synthetic.

Thanks, So Atlas should be acceptable, right?

Are they any good? No luck doing a search. A Chevron station nearby uses them.

I just purchased M1 from KMart for $3.99/qt on sale. I've never seen M1 on sale at Wal-Mart and I spend alot more time there.

Any updates on PP?

Kmart and Wally World sells Mobil 1 and Pennzoil full sythetic at good prices, but don't carry decent filters (except possibly ST's). Carquest and NAPA carry Wix and NAPA Gold filters, but don't offer good deals on synthetic oil? Anyone know of a chain that carrys both at good prices?
