    Anyone compare CAT Power Stations/Battery Jumpers from Costco?

    I’ve have this CAT #CJ1000DXT Power Station for the past few years and it’s been great, but definitely bulky and heavy. I wonder how it compares in performance to the newer CAT Lithium Power Station #PPSCL3 from Costco. Physically it is tiny and very lightweight in comparison. Old model New...

    How often does anyone reach for their 20mm, 22mm, 23mm, & 24mm sockets? Please chime in on what you’ve used them on.

    Honestly these brakes could feel much better. I feel the need to look into one of them LEED rotary vane vacuum pump systems.

    About to run Euro 0w40 on Buick 455

    Well I guess the six quarts of VR1 10w30 I dumped in it last were conventional. Funny I thought I had synthetic in it this whole time 🤯 Definitely going synthetic on it now! Does anyone know how much Zinc is in the Delvac1 5w40? I couldn’t find it on M1’s website. Here are the other’s Zinc...

    About to run Euro 0w40 on Buick 455

    This is what I put in it last time. I’m not exactly sure if it was synthetic. Also, I’m never buying that Purolator again. Was a lot smaller than the Wix that was on it.

    About to run Euro 0w40 on Buick 455

    Ok I’m about to do the yearly oil change on my Buick. It has a 455 with a mild hydraulic flat tappet cam. I know from previous posts and reading threads that it should be fine with running just the M1 Euro 0w40. My question is, can I mix some maybe M1 Delvac1 5w40 or V-Twin 20w50 to give it a...

    Microgard Select - No Love?

    I just picked up a couple of the STP XP’s during some oil promotion Autozone has. Yes indeed very similar looking quality and materials the MG Select has. I like em both! The STP is for my Cougar or Mustang and the MGS is for the Buick

    Just had some Mohave CUV tires installed on our ‘22 Crosstrek

    We ended up selling the car, but we did maybe put 4-5k miles on them. They felt just as good as the OEM originals. Yokohama I believe were what was previous. I liked them. Definitely worth saving money for the same performance

    Hit 300k miles today

    Congrats on making it to 300k mi! I’m hoping to get our 3 Pontiac Vibes to get there! At 299,999 mi. the odometer stops working so I guess I’ll just have to rely on the trip meters for maintenance

    What y’all recommend for a 2010 Dodge Caravan?

    Since it burns a little oil and we have the crappy smog laws, what’s the best FS to help with the cat’s longevity? ESP? Preferably in a 0w40 or 5w30/40
