    Who makes a fluid for 8 speed Ram 1500?

    Well for me I did alot of research and after finding dozens of reports from guys who switched to maxlife, and watching some videos showing oil testing lab results. I'm comfortable given many of the reports/reviews have 100,000 km's on maxlife while doing daily towing. But when I first started...

    Cheaper alternative for fully synthetic oil change

    I am of course aware that I could do it cheaper myself. For me the convenience of having them check (and top up) every fluid, (including washer fluid) tire pressure and do a visual/physical of all belts, hoses, cv boots, ball joints, lights, ect... is a pretty good deal for $35ca ($27us). Add to...
