    No question in my Tucson, QSAM 5/30 is noticeably smoother than anything else yet.

    Ran 5w20 in my 2005 4.6 Crown Vic for over 300K miles. No issues to report. Used zero oil between changes. I run 0w20 in my 16 Tahoe. The Leos who run Tahoe's in my neck of the woods [2015+] are running 0w20 with zero issues.

    0-20 motor oil

    My 2016 Tahoe is a bit noisy. Been using 0w20 since day 1 [using only Mobil 1 and sometimes AC Delco] and have over 100K miles. I really hear it loud when I am idling using the drive thru at the bank. Cold mornings are loud until it is warmed up.

    2020 GM 5.3L Oil

    By mistake the dealer put in 5w30 Mobil 1 in my 2016 5.3 Tahoe. Upon start up when cold it made loud lifter noise for just for a few short seconds. But only when cold. Did not realize until a week later when I finally looked at my service receipt they used 5w30. The tech who worked on it later...

    Why can't i have a good looking car

    I park in Manhattan and Brooklyn a lot. I always put my vehicle in a garage even for a hour. It is cheaper then fixing bumper damage.

    C'mon, we all need a Pinto, right?

    My Uncle in the Bronx had a !974 Pinto. He bought it right off the showroom floor. He had the Towing Package [he never towed anything] and A/C. No issues with it. It was a good city car. He sold it to a college kid a few years years later as he wanted a LTD. I drove the Pinto a few times. Ran...

    Looking for new car is brutal theses days.....

    Whenever I see a crash involving a SUV and a sedan [happens constantly in Miami] the sedan is always the looser. Most are dead on the spot in the sedan and have to be taken to the Firehouse for removal. Some actually are decapitated. Most people I know buy their kids used PPV Explorer Utility or...

    Last time/how often do you open your hood?

    I have not seen anyone open their hood while getting fuel for the last 15-20 years and I am on the road often taking trips from Miami-NYC..That includes New Jersey where pumping your own fuel is illegal and 99% of the customers at those stations never even get out of their vehicle. I generally...

    Keep or Sell my 2008 Crown Vic?

    That is the 100% truth!! At one time my entire family had [4] 4.6 Panthers. No major issues with any of them in 200-300K miles. We all moved on to the other Full Size vehicles and all of them [GM&Ford] have had more service in the first 100K miles then any Panther had in 300K miles. There will...

    Farewell to my Charger SRT

    Had a rental 2020 Hemi Charger for a day while my vehicle was in for service. Spent most of the day in it. Ran great. No hesitation on take off. Super quiet ride. Handled awesome in the rain. Tons of trunk space. Did not notice the stop and start at red lights. Only downside was the a/c was...

    Another Panther Dinosaur-Great for BITOG

    Had a 88 Town Car...No issues for over 250K miles. To my surprise most owners did not know the vehicle had 2 oil drains. Mine was dealer serviced every 5K miles cause the dealer at that time was honest and no up selling plus they always had good food and coffee. Could have used a more powerful...
