What feature of this rifle makes it a holy grail acquisition for you (something made in Canada has no added appeal for me)?

friends used to think i was nuts when i bought a case of oil back in the late 80s (for no other reason than it saved me a trip to the store). And that was when dino oil (i always used pennzoil) was $.97 per quart at wal-mart

i just put the T6 5w40 in it (for the first time) The coolant leak comment is telling. I have smelled a faint whiff of coolant when shutting the car off

Ex g/f's (another story) 2013 TDI Jetta, 70K miles, is getting an intermittent CEL with the following code: Right now, the plan is that this car will be bought back by VW under the TDI buyback program at the end of the summer. However, the car needs to make it to the summer. No...

94 Land Cruiser with 239K miles. Unknown lineage and care from 0-217K miles. Has a rebuilt head on it. Consumes some oil. I've used regular Castrol 10w30. The manual calls for 10w30 "Energy Conserving II" oil. I don't think that's around any more. That being said, is energy conserving something...

I remember it. i never thought it was that green, nor did it smell like gummy bears.

Originally Posted By: WhizkidTN If it still meets all the listed certifications on the bottle (which is a pretty good list), why does it matter what country or formulation they may use? Isn't this an "oil is oil" argument that would apply to every brand out there?

Sorry to hear this. Just remember the good life you gave her. That's what you owed her, and you did your part.

I tried to find an answer but couldn't. This isn't the question of the century, but still curious: The Castrol Edge 0W40 in the 5 quart bottles is made in Belgium. The Castrol Edge 0W40 in single quart bottles is made in Germany. Is there any difference? I'm certainly no production or...

Another brand to consider over Chemical Guys that generally can be bought at any auto parts store is Griot's Garage. Their stuff is solid. They have a quick detailer and a spray wax that would serve you well (you can apply these over a sealant or instead of a sealant). If you are looking for...

Originally Posted By: dogememe Thanks for all your input guys. Sounds like that rain-x product is a no-no. I do prefer to shop at O'Reilly because I get a discount there so The Chemical Guys is out (we don't carry it, though I've heard it's awesome stuff)... good luck on your car cleaning...

this will in no way help you, but i saw this in my WalMart in Centennial, Colorado yesterday.
