Run a full synthetic SN+ because Turbo. Change every 5 - 7K because DI. Stock up on Shell Rotella Gas/Truck if you can find it at AutoZone. It's down to $2 per quart and there's a $2 per quart Shell rebate. Up to $40 per household.

I drove a manual Crossfire convertible for a year when I worked at Chrysler. It was a great car. Here's one big PRO: Most beautiful car Chrysler ever made. I love the rear profile on it.

If they had put 5w-30 in a vehicle that called for 5w-20 I would say ride it out. But in your circumstance I would change it for the right spec.

I'm a big fan of Bridgestone Blizzak's. They got my litlle miata through the Michigan winter with no problem.

My cousin flies one of these out of Willow Run airport. They put an extraordinary amount of time and effort into maintaining that aircraft. I guess it proves that no matter how hard you try to maintain something there's always a chance of failure. RIP.

Glad your son is OK! Why the affinity for trucks/SUV's. Wrap that boy in a, less roll over prone, Crown Vic.

I have had very good luck with Duracell pre-charged re-chargeable batteries. My digital SLR takes 4 AA's. I routinely took over a thousand pictures during a weekend without needing to re-charge. One set of four batteries lasted for 4 years and several hundred re-charge cycles. Make sure to get...

I have a 2013 with the 2.5l. Not one repair other than standard maintenance items. It's been a very reliable car with a lot of nice features. I'd recommend it.

Can't beat a mini van for a family hauler. I had a series of 4 of them during prime kid years and loved them. I know they aren't popular right now, but, perhaps that means you can pick one up cheap. Car-like ride, decent acceleration and fuel economy, easy to get kids in and out, TONS of space...

Yikes! 2 grand for a water pump?! I will definitely avoid the 3.5 then, or, as you said, make sure it has been changed. The car has 107k on it. Thanks for the info earlyre!

My 2007 GC oil burner with the 3.8 just died at 188K. It burned a quart a month and I had started doing oil change at 20k with Fram Ultra filters. I figured since I was refreshing with a new quart every month I didn't need to change the oil too often. Guess I was wrong. It threw a CEL and...

Thanks for the tips eljefino.

My daughter needs a cheaper car. Going to look at a 2011 Ford Fusion with the 6 cyl. Are there any trouble spots on this car or is there anything I should look out for other than the standard used car check over?

My 2013 Fusion has the 2.5. It's never had what I'd call a real smooth idle. It's the same at 100k as it was at 26k.

I drove past a Jaguar F-type the other day. It was flat out gorgeous! Two year old examples are not a bad price.

Mobil Super 5000 because it was .45 per quart. I'll switch back to full synthetic for $2 per quart and 8k OCI when the MS5K is gone. Except for the Miata, that only gets full syn and a 5k OCI because it's GDI.

I agree with dtownfb. Don't do it for a 20% pay cut. It's a job. Strive to do your best AND advance yourself in your current position. A manager/supervisor typically has a much better chance of obtaining a better paying job moving forward. If you feel the options for advancement are limited...

Or a 2014 Cadillac CTS Vsport. 4.7 sec 0-60mph
