    2025 Maxda CX-50 hybrid

    If this is Toyotas eCVT then this is nothing like a traditional cvt. Its 2 electric motors. These things are bulletproof and very low maintenance.

    Does Castrol need better products or marketing?

    Their new bottles look awesome. The one time I put it in my van that thing ran quieter than ever. Unfortunately unless its as cheap as Kirkland or ST Im not too likely to buy any.
