I've worn contacts for over 20 years. I've had so many brands over the years I lost count. The last 10 years Ive been wearing several of the different Acuvue's. A few months ago, I went to the new Acuvue Oasys. Bottom line....Oasys lenses are worth every cent. I wear them for 14 days straight...

Which tires did you get? LTX M/S or Cross Terrain?

Hi, The absolute best thing I've found to avoid getting water spots is using Eagle One Wax-as-You-Dry when drying off the vehicle. I now use it every time I wash the cars. Give it a shot...

I'd go for the LTX M/S hands-down. I have them on my '02 Explorer and luv 'em so far. They're well worth the small permium over the competition.

Hi, I've got a 1997 Accord EX 2.2L automatic. It's got 170K on it and runs well. The trans has just started slipping slightly on the 3 to 4 upshift on the first few miles in the morning. After that it shifts as firm as ever. It only happens in the morning, only on the 3 to 4 upshift, only for a...

I'm VERY happy so far with the Pennz Plat. In my 4.6L Ford Explorer the engine is definitely quieter than with the Mobil 1 I was running. I'm also keeping in ming the placebo effect.... I hope we've found a winner. And, I hope Pennz. keeps up the $1.99 a quart specials

I've switched to Pennzoil Platinum in 2 of my vehicles (from Mobil 1 EP). Partly based on price (i.e $1.99 after rebate). Partly based on unavailability post-Katrina. I'm going to go to 8K OCI's instead of 10K the 1st few times. After that I'll do a UOA on both cars to see how it did. I have a...

I have a set of LTX M/S's on my '02 Explorer. With 30K on them now they still look absolutely brand new. They're quiet, safe handling, and great in the snow. Overall, they are light years away from the OEM Goodyear Wrangler R/T's that came with the truck. I hesitated on the price but a sale...

Did you present the coupon at the checkout or at the front/returns desk. I just may try this tomorrow.

The Pennzoil Platinum I got today from PepBoys has different bottles (no handle) than the one in that coupon. Is Platinum the same stuff?

Hi, 2002 Explorer 4.6 Mobil1 Extended Performance 5W-30 with 10K OCI's. 65K on vehicle.

My wife sold MaryKay for a years. Suffice to say that I stay clear of anything resembling that type of sales structure. Not to take ANYTING away from the oil itself. From what I can gather here, it's great stuff. But, for me, it's a personal hurdle that I can't overcome.

Nah..I'd be willing to try it. But I'm trying to get away from being so nuts about the oil/filter I use. Looking at every bottle of Castrol to check the country of origin defeats my purpose.

Hi, I'm currently running Mobil1 EP 5W-30 in 2 of my cars. One car is a 1997 Honda Accord EX 2.2L 4cyl. with 157,000 miles on it. The other is a 2002 Ford Explorer 4.6 V8 with 65,000 miles on it. I'm about 9,000 miles into the Accord's OCI (shooting for 10K) and I'm getting a bit worried that I...

I'll be seeing them in the GA section tomorrow night in NYC. 13th time I've gone to a U2 show in the past 20 years. They get better as time goes by IMO.

Yep, I get into it when I can. I really have to take care of the timing belt situation ASAP. I can't stand the vibration and what it's possibly doing to my bearings. I'm looking for a mechanic that will just reset the belt..not a whole new job. Not too many want to do it. This car runs too...

Yesterday I put in about 4 oz. of VSOT. This car sees a daily 100 mile round trip of morning/afternoon stop and go commuting. Also, the A/C was running the ENTIRE time of this 7,500 mile OCI. Couple the stop/go traffic with the air conditioning and sprinkle in the engine vibration due to the...

At 136K miles, I had the timing belt, balancer belt and water pump replaced on this car. A friend of a friend did the work. This was against my better judgement...... Well, let's just say the car did not run as well as when I dropped it off. It had a vibration that I could feel through the gas...

I replaced the air filter a few months ago (early in this OCI) with a fresh Purolator. I'll check that it's seating well. If I get high silicon next time I'll go to either a Motorcraft or a Wix filter. I'll also check for any leaks in the air intake system....not that I'm likely to spot anything...
