    Sold my car to CarMax

    Just sold an 03 Ram 1500 with 50,000km for $20k USD. Being picked up today for export to the USA. The market is great for those that have too many good quality used vehicles and can part with one or a couple.

    NAV system voice?

    Hopefully it isn't like my AMG, it just yells at me in German and tries to direct me to Poland. :cautious:

    Is Royal Purple ATF worth it?

    If it is cheaper than Valvoline Maxlife ATF, Castrol Transmax Full Synthetic ATF and Super Tech Full Synthetic LV ATF, then sure. Otherwise, any of those other three full synthetic transmission fluids will be just as good.

    Your Favorite Non - OEM Air Filter ?

    For cone filters, I prefer either S&B dry filters or AEM Dryflow. For daily vehicles with stock intake, I go for Beck/Arnley, which every Beck/Arnley has been a reboxed OEM Toyota Denso in my applications, or FRAM on non-Toyota applications.

    Bottling 02/27/2021 @ 03:38 (3:38AM). Aside from that, I do not know the additional coding structure. Possibly bottling facility identifying or additive package identit.

    Any VOA requests?

    How about the new ST 20,000 mile Synthetic 5W30? We do not have the 20k miles synthetic in Canada yet, and may never, but I would be interested to see what WPP is doing for their extended market oils. Edit: Just saw there is a posting of a VOA on the Super Tech Advanced 0W20 and 5W20. May not...

    Castrol EDGE 5W-30 Advanced Full Synthetic vs. Quaker State 5W30 Ultimate Durability Full Synthetic

    Personally, I like how QSUD 5W30 and 10W30 run in the Toyota/Lexus 2GR-FE and 2GR-FSE V6. Have used multiple synthetics of various grades in those engines and found the QSUD to be the quietest. Helped with a questionably maintained 2007 Camry with oil burning and VVT ticking. Reduced the...

    Ultra-Power 57047 (Toyota OEM Clone?)

    The resin/glue is a complete seal that extends from the pleat fold to the inner attachment with the end cap sealing gasket. I could not find any area that was not completely sealed. Assembly quality looks very consistent and solid.
