I ended up buying the Vredesteins. Bang for buck I couldn't resist. Unfortunately Discount Tire installed two of them with the wrong side facing out so I gotta go back and have them remount them. But the few mile drive home was quiet!

Gonna be honest, a few of my family members have had issues with Pirelli. I appreciate the recommendation but I'm very hesitant. Not much experience with Hankook tires. Where are they made? You might be mistaking the HiTracs for the Quatracs. The Quatracs are definitely more snow oriented...

Hey all, I've done a good amount of research on tires for my car. As the title mentions, it's a 2017 VW Golf with 195/65R15 tires. I currently have Michelins T + H on them and they're getting old. They are 6ish years and I'm starting to see some dry rot where the tread meets the side wall. I...

We have the opposite problem. I want to buy Quaker State 5w40 but they only sell Mobil 1 0w40 at mine. You have the opposite problem. Odd aint it

Online or in stores? My local Walmart doesn't even have a sticker for Quaker State 5w40 anymore. It seems so random where it pops up.

Valvoline does sell the euro 5w40 in 5qt jugs. I grabbed mine from AutoZone last oil change. Walmart has really shrunk their selection, at least in stores. It used to be a healthy amount of variety, Pennzoil, quaker state, mobil 1, valvoline etc but my local store is almost exclusively Mobil 1...

I don't understand why Pennzoil won't just make 5qt jugs of the stuff. For whatever reason, only the 5w40 is limited to 1qts only. Rather annoying.

It'll be a while until the next change. I only change it once a year 😫 I'll keep an eye out for it though. Does the fact it's meant for cars with a GPF change anything or impact anything on cars that don't have a GPF like mine?

To be honest, I've never seen Euro FS 5W30 in stores. I'd have to order that one online. Not sure if it would be worth it since I do 5k oil changes. I looked into the ESP X4 and I'd be hesitant to use it simply because it isn't 502.00 approved. I'm sure the 511.00 approval is more stringent but...

You have jammed rings because you have a Hyundai which are notorious oil burners. My vehicle doesn't consume any oil. I check it every few months and it's always in the same place. The fuel dilution comes from short trips and not getting the oil up to temp to evaporate some of the fuel. I...

Thanks man! I am worried about the double digits on the iron though. For 4600 miles it seems high.

As the title states I have two different oil analysis results. One from OAI and one from Blackstone. Following the stickied post in this forum, here's the background information: ODI: I added this oil on 12/1/2024 and changed it on 8/9/2025, or 251 days (or 8 months and 8 days). This sample is...

Ughhhh. It's not causing any issues yet. I get more misfires from cylinder 2 and that one was bone dry. 💀 It's not causing any issues yet. I have OBDEleven and I checked and while it did have 1 misfire in my 15 minute spirited driving test, cylinder 2 had 7 misfires for whatever reason. I'll...

Hi everyone, I changed the plugs today in my 2017 Golf. Upon removing the coil on cylinder one, I noticed a more-than-usual amount of oil in the well. You'll have to forgive the not so great photo of the well. I was against the clock trying to get this done before I got heat stroke in my...

Tell me about it. I had an easier time learning AutoCAD than figuring out their website, and the "how-to's" don't help either

Thank you sir! I got all my info submitted more correctly this time. Two used oil analysis coming in the next few weeks

Do I need a new Equipment ID every time I change oil brand? Just a question for the OAI Horizon users. I submitted two VOAs (see sig) but each time I added them, it forced me to use a different equipment ID for the same vehicle (silly since it never touched the engine). Fast forward and I'm...

I guess so. Glad I went with the Valvoline! Should be putting it in this weekend or the next.

I see my two reports for the Valvoline Euro, but not the two for the Liqui Moly

Here's the OAI report
