I thought last time I saw it at Wally World it was $35. I guess it's $30 from a search just now. Are there peer reviewed, minimal bias, research papers you can link to showing $30 jugs are significantly reducing deposits as opposed to Kirkland for $15? Or Super Tech for about $20? Cause if I...

You do you. If you read my posts I have cars that don't burn and some that do. Keep spending an extra $40 per year on Restore and protect and I'll keep spending an extra $6 per year on topping one of my cars off.

On a 99 and 02 I used gravity and a MityVac years ago. Now, for $100, I let the dealer do it because they also cycle the ABS for a full exchange. Gravity on the old Hondas was fine. I just stuck buckets under each with a piece of hose connected and loosened all the bleeder screws. Then I'd do...

A few were purchased used. The others burned since new and didn't get much worse over the miles I owned them. My current Toyota uses none. Current Subaru uses but has since new. Hasn't increased much. So maybe it's not. Edit: A 13 Crosstrek used a lot even when new. But not enough for...

A quart every 1500-2k is about what every Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Chevy, Subaru I've ever owned/known/maintained does at some point in its life. Various Toyota 4-cylinders have had issues with burning oil for many years/decades. I was behind an older Ford (probably 2010's) on the interstate...

I'm aware. I just don't think it makes much difference to a person using a car in a "fairly typical" fashion and who seems to be changing the oil at the severe service intervals and using oil that meets spec. I mean, I could use boutique oil in my 17 Corolla. I'm sure it would be a little bit...

That's an assumption. I understand enough, I just think engines are designed for oils they were designed for. I just feel like Toyota, or whoever, says "Use engine oil meeting blah blah blah" and if you use engine oil meeting "blah blah blah" your engine will probably be OK for a lot of miles...

I thought I strongly implied that the sun was aligned with the Orion belt AND that it was a solar eclipse year. There are a lot of "ifs" in most of the replies. Not like ya'll are scientists analyzing OP's engine. Ya'll are literally arguing about which 30 weight is closer to 30 than 20 and...

And pretty much any oil meeting the specs and changed at the "severe" interval won't be that different if driven like a typical commuter. If there existed an oil that left significantly fewer deposits over 10 years than others of the same specs and ratings, wouldn't all brands (especially the...

No. And in OP's post, it was asked about an NA 3.5 Tacoma engine and a new turbo in a 4Runner. And I think it was mentioned changes every 5k. Anything with the correct certifications will do about as well as anything else, unless those 5k miles are extreme. What's Toyota put in them? I'm...

Correct answer: Kirkland when it's on sale. If you're doing 5K changes with synthetic (and not drag racing or towing a trailer every day up mountains) and your engine blows up before 200K, it's not the oil. It's the engineers that designed the engine. Just my opinion. No oil is going to save...

How many of you use a filter for the length of the "mileage on the box"? Since Walmart seems to be empty, and I prefer the cheapest filter and change them every time (6-8k miles), how many of you would take, say, a Mobil 1 filter that says 20k miles and run it for 12-15k miles? I'm assuming...

Rattling and ticking noises? What should I listen for?

I randomly search for larger vehicles online. Found one local and it's at a used car dealer that tends to have a lot of "expensive" cars that are a few years old (i.e. Mercedes with 30-100K miles) and looking at the new vs. used price is RIDICULOUS. You can get a pretty decked out Mercedes for...

I have interest in a minivan but no hurry at all currently. Happened to do a search and see a 2022 Voyager for $19K with 65K miles on it. Two owners, about the first 30K was rental in Florida, next 35K was private in TX and then CA. Carfax says no accidents and has oil changes every about 6k and...

I've always wanted a Wrangler since I was a kid. But as I've grown up, I've wondered why they're so expensive for the fact they're made by Stellantis and share some parts with Pacificas. They're like an American icon. Just look cool and stuff. But I ain't paying that type of cash for one. Edit...

What's the consensus on Purolator now? A long time ago it seemed to be "yay" then I recall "nay"...where are we now?

Nah, I was being sarcastic. Just the boring stock motor.

A high horsepower, naturally aspirated, 2017 Forester. Look, the engine will live a lot longer than my tolerance for replacing lug studs, wheel bearings, and CV axles on this car.

Out: Subaru 0w20 and Toyo Roki filter 6,500 miles. In: Kirkland 0w20 and Fram Extra Guard 7317 I only use the best products in my vehicles.
