Also, I even went to their site and put in the vehicle and vehicle specific oil and that brought up the correct weight.

Oh I don't intend on being rude about asking them I just know the feeling of somebody questioning you when you're doing all you know. Which in this case was the guys computer screen and it almost always sounds like they're being a **** by questioning them. That's why I asked really.. She knows...

So my girlfriend went to our local auto parts store(O'Reily's) to pick up a quart of oil for her Mercedes G500. First, she didn't tell me anything about it being low or anything of the nature. She just told me her car told her that it is 1qt low so she took initiative to go get it herself..then...

It's just surface rust, right? You should be able to just rub it off. One of the best ways to get it off would actually be to use some of your old/used oil and a rag. I used to do that at work when I'd come across an older filter that had been sitting for awhile. Just got some oil on a rag and...

Originally Posted By: JHZR2 As a contrary viewpoint, UPS trucks stop their engines at every single house stop, which can be less than a block between start/stops. I read long ago that it DOES take more gas to start an engine than to keep it running, but the break-even point is less than 30...

I'm kind of confused about the locking nut question.. it has the place for a socket built on the end of it. Typically it will be the same size as the rest of the lug nuts, but you're working with afermarket stuf so you never know.

Hahaha That rocks!

At the end of the day, that is all that matters. Piece of mind. Good choices by the way. My dad has a '13 Tacoma and loves it. Great truck. He actually has the same oil/filter set up as you. Mobil 1 5w-30 and K&N filter. It does everything he asks of it as a mid sized truck. Except gas...

Originally Posted By: jigen 35 MPG was the best long trip mileage I ever got as well. Kept it under 65MPH and was on mainly all flat roads. Impressive for what it is, dips fast when you hit 70+ MPH though. I've noticed the same in my Escape.

I'm pretty sure my first oil changes were done with the good ole Fram Orange Can - 3387. I'm 26 now and my first oil changes were on my first car(obviously) a '95 Beretta Z26(Good ole 3.1!). We still have it in the family as it got handed down to my younger brother but he didn't really take care...

I pretty much just stick to 5k intervals. I used to only do 3k but then I learned that it's just a waste. Even 5k still isn't maximixing my oil and filter capabilities(Penn. Ultra) but I like to get under there and check things out and if I'm taking the skid plate/belly pan off I'm going to make...
