    Be interesting to see what happens going forward with the Kirkland, Supertech, Amazon and MAG1 oils as a whole now that Warren Distribution has been sold. Hmm.

    2002 Volkswagen Jetta TDI w/ ALH and 02J 5 speed manual. Yeah, electrical stuff and rear wheel bearing replacements, but with over 500,000km on the original block and now pushing 450ftlb wtq and still getting 49mpg from a 20 year old diesel. I could have never asked for more. Bought for $4500CDN...

    is this serpentine belt/ac belt in bad condition?

    100,000 miles, I would change it. I change mine every 100,000km (60,000 miles) whether it needs it or not. I check all belt drive components for play and wear at the same time. Maybe overkill, but that's just the way I was raised.

    How do I know if sandbags would benefit winter driving?

    Get yourself a dedicated set of 195/65/15 winter tires and you will be golden. Personally I prefer the Kumho Wi31 for the price and are equally capable to Yokohama, Toyo, BFG and Michelin from my experience with all five brands.

    Agreed. Which is why I will miss the Pro Synthetic Series from Fram.

    Fram TITANIUM FS9688 - 8000 miles on Hyundai GDI

    I own a few Hyundai's: 09 Elantra Beta II, 07 Tucson Beta II and 19 Kona 2.0 Nu Atkinson. I abandoned the OEM 35504/35505 and went to Fram Ultra, but not the 9688. I switched to the FPS3593A Pro Syn Series. Absolutely no issues and across all three vehicles the engines were considerably quieter...

    Honda 3.5L V6 oil filter

    What years are we talking about here? Curious for my own information. The last Honda's I did an oil change on: 2014 Ridgeline and 2012 CRX both accepted the larger FPS3593A without issue. Is this true for Honda's 2015 and newer then? If you have some insight, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

    Honda 3.5L V6 oil filter

    Well shoot! What's the reason? Any Honda that required a 7317 coded filter I have been able to swap in the larger 3593A variant. Not doubting you, just curious.

    Honda 3.5L V6 oil filter

    FPS3593A (Fram Ultra) still available for cheap on rockauto. $2.42USD ($3.15CDN) for a Fram Ultra? Not sure how you could go wrong.

    Personally, I will be going the route of 245/65/17 Kumho HT51 on my new-to-me Rav4.3. If looking for more aggressive, look into the AT51.

    Mobil 1 0w40 Euro

    That looks like it could be a great oil! that VR6 should thrive on this.

    There are more, but no one on this forum would care about hearing about $1000+ Euro oil changes.
