    Fram Endurance - synthetic and wire backed

    In this thread, it has been speculated the new Fram Endurance is a Royal Purple clone; I am surprised the efficiency of the Fram is 99% at 20 microns since Royal Purple is 99% at 25 microns and 80% at 10 microns.

    Recommend a complete overkill oil + filter combo for a Toyota.

    Pennzoil platinum and Denso filters (oil and air) ... a great combination on Toyota vehicles.

    Walmart Motorcraft shelves empty

    Why not order via their online site and have it shipped? (I had to do same for PP 5W30 -- not a single product on the shelf)

    Alternative P0420 catalyst fix...

    Had a P0420 on our 2004 RX330 at 253k (mid 2020) and the independent repair shop was ready to replace the converter. Instead, I ran a bottle of Cataclean, shell premium and passed Colorado emissions with the fast pass a few weeks later. The light came back on at 265k, ran another bottle cleared...

    Best non-beam wipers with a conventional frame besides expensive NWB

    I know you mentioned NWB, but Denso makes a conventional blade that works well. https://www.densoautoparts.com/wiper-blades-first-time-fit-wiper-blades

    Guess Discount Tire is now my exclusive retail tire dealer

    The warranty statement depends upon the tire and its rating. For example, the Michelin (and most other manufacturers for all-season tires) Pilot Sport All Season that I have on my staggered X4 shows: --"6 Years / 45,000 Miles Half mileage for rear if different size than front"

    What's the point of eliminating straight dino and replacing it with a blend?

    5qt 5w30 container at Napa is $16.99 (3.39/qt). For a synthetic blend, that is pretty competitive with your straight conventional at $2.99 and meets API SN/SP.

    Employee Ripped Off By Chain Shop - Helping Her Out

    Except the OP noted they wanted to charge her for a power steering fluid flush. The EPAS doesn't have power steering fluid. Sounds pretty unethical to me.

    Crossover/SUV Tires 2018 Sienna

    Our RX330 at 275k has never had a set of tires go beyond 38k, until I put on the Michelin Defender LTX M/S. If it comes in the right size for your Sienna, definitely consider that for your research.

    2020 Jeep Wrangler 3.6L engine oil filter recommendations

    I normally run Mopar in my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee V6; however, I picked up 10 Mobil 1 filters when Wal-Mart had them on clearance for ~$2 a filter. At that price, just too good to pass up.

    Just inherited a car that hasn't been driven since 1993

    We did the same with my wife's 77 MG-B. She purchased when she was a Sophomore in HS and it had been sitting in a barn in SE KS since the early 90s (many rat's nests and all kinds of other stuff). I didn't know where to start and paid to have it done and in Denver (Sportscar Craftsman). They...

    Is paid antivirus worth it?

    Going against the consensus. Norton 360 Deluxe covers five devices, offers a secure VPN (which I use when traveling or banking), a few other items (50GB cloud, dark web monitoring, etc) and if you purchase/renew on/around black Friday, the price is $19.99-$29.99/year. edit: I forgot to mention...
