2000? Whenever Mobil 1 was still on their tri-synthetic marketing.

Can't tell much with these pics. Can you post some clearer pics?

Let's see...my '99 Civic has 260k, '97 Grand Cherokee has 208k, and my '96 Camaro has roughly 215k. All original engines and transmissions. Parent's cars that I've been maintaining both have over 220k each as well.

Once it's nearing 5/32, I start checking more often and watching for deals. If it's my parent's cars or my girl's, I'll change them sooner than my own.

I had Kumhos and they wore out very quickly, even with my tame driving. Also in the Bay Area and also in a similar vintage Civic. You can also scratch spending more for the Michelin Premier A/S as mine are down to 4/32 after just under 30K miles.

I'll be needing to replace my Michelin Premier A/S tires soon and after only 30,000 miles of very mild commuter driving. These popped up as an option, can anyone with experience talk about how quickly these wear?

Glad to hear major problem was averted, sounds like it's minimally worse for wear. Sometimes we dodge bullets, sometimes we get tagged. By the way, do you have a minute to listen to a product testimonial of a new product you might not have heard of: Restore? =P

I, too, have an older fleet. I've been using high mileage oils in all of them though most still use some oil. I've tried M1 HM, Pennzoil HM, and Valvoline Maxlife with no real difference noticed between any of them.

Geez, how hard is it to pay for even an annual oil change?

Mine are older than 10 years and maybe closer to about 15 years and I've had no issues with them. I use them in my flat garage about 4-5x a year for oil changes and use them with some cheap-o jack stands and some wheel chocks. Like many of you guys, my rubber inserts are somewhere. Either in...

Vehicle: Mother's 2004 Honda Accord LX V6 198,xxx miles. OUT: M1 5w30 & Fram Ultra filter (2nd OCI on filter), 12,xxx miles on OCI about 11 months. IN: M1 5w20 & new Fram Ultra filter

> But I'm also disappointed at Michelin, the long term quality of their most expensive tire just sucks. Tires do age, regardless of however many miles were driven on them. You mentioned they were manufactured in April of 2014 so they are more than four years old. Tires are not lifetime parts...

I've always bought OEM fuel filters, and OEM items in general, but noticed that the OEM fuel filter (Filtech) for my Civic is almost 2x the price of a Fram/Wix and 4x the price of a Champion Labs. I'm curious if there is any real difference in quality between the OEM and one from one of the...

Hi all, I live in Northern California/Bay Area and up until a few days ago, we had some really bad air quality due to the Camp Fire. Air quality was over 200, almost touching 250 in my area. From my understanding, the danger was particles as small as 2.5 microns and below in the air...

I stocked up on a few years supply of Fram Ultras when they were on sale on Amazon a while back. As long as they make them, they'll be all I'll use until they give me a reason not to. Used to be Purolator filters but since their fiasco, they're out. Fram hasn't given me a reason to look elsewhere.

Thanks for sharing your experience with this product. I saw it recently on my Amazon suggested items. If anyone is familiar with Sonax products, would this be redundant to use with Sonax Net Shield? I'm unfamiliar with sealants and such.
