I grabbed Castrol EDGE High Mileage (case of 3) via online order & pickup at WM. They brought one out at first but when I showed them the website they grabbed 2 more. (thread is locked on that one).

2006 Avalon, 224k In : 3.5 qt Pennzoil YB; 1.5 qts Castrol White Bottle, 1 qt Castrol EDGE. Fram Orangie

It really is a crap shoot. If you are retired and have time, maybe check it out but if you are working 12+ hours a day like I do it becomes a gamble. Again I used my day off, to drive 2 hours round trip for nothing. I did manage to get 4 jugs between 3 other stores, plus a quart of Quaker...

Oh I’m more interested in the add pack and TBN so I can decide how I want to approach OCI. But if there’s no info then so be it I’ll treat it like any other half synthetic

Of course it’ll work, but the reason why most of us are on BITOG is because of the nerdy stuff like VOAs. I can hear that it’s good enough from the employee at AAP.

Put in an online order. Drove 1 hour one way, and they had picked 5 single quarts instead of 6 x 5QT bottles. They said they had no more 5 quarts and there was nothing they could do. No substitutions, no discounts. Next time I see a sale like this I’m cleaning them out no exceptions. I earned...

Have tried search but coming up empty. Thanks.

I miss the days of $3 clearance PureOne Gold. I thought I’d be using those filters forever. Then when that stash got depleted and Purolator went silly, I adopted Fram. I hear what you’re saying. We never used to have to flip flop all the time.

I’ll sell it to you for $5 plus shipping. 🥸

Oil Filter #1 came from Wal-Mart, ran for 9500 miles https://ibb.co/album/d78RfR Oil Filter #2 is a CH code Fram, a shop version of the 9972, ran for 5500 miles. https://ibb.co/album/3RS0Zt Both made in Mexico. I noticed the wavy pleats on #2. 2009 ES350 and 2006 Avalon respectively

Fram CH9972, Orange box but dealer special. Mexico made. I have quite a few of these but this one looked a little raunchy. Notice the glue points chewed up material etc.

A guy saying two different tires on a vehicle is the worst thing possible does not scream “tire engineer” to me. I’m gonna call BS on this one. 👍🏻 Even if I go with the four new tires it’s not because a guy with his pants on fire said so. 🤷 I guess having a spare on for any amount of time is...

Yeah at this point it’s basically buy three more LingLongs for $330 out the door or buy 4x GT Radial MaxTour for $550 OTD. We had/have the GT Champiros on her Avalon and got two of them replaced at 75k. The other two are still on it! It’s a 60k tire (the champiro)! Once we start getting air...

To get back to Mississippi. :) That’s why I bought the cheapest one. It cost me $160 installed.

A new 55k tire + 3 new 70k tires does not seem like a worst case scenario.

what does this mean?

Hearing you all loud and clear; one more question: let’s say I keep the Green Max as a spare and need to put it on when one of the GT Radials (the tires I’ve got my eye on and like very much) gets shredded or something. At that point, I’m back to 3 + 1. I wouldn’t use it as a donut, it would...

Long story short I bought a vehicle that needed a front tire before I took it home all the way from Texas, so I got the cheapest tire that NTB had. It was a 55k warranty Green Max Optimum Sport. The other three old Bridgestone tires are showing signs of dry rot too, so they gotta go soon. I’ve...

Right into the trash bin. What kind of question is this if you’re not cutting them open?
