I get it that ideally you would want to run a tank of gas containing Techron / Gumout right before you change your oil - but what if that is not possible and you need to change the oil with 3/4th to 1/2 a tank of gas containing the fuel system cleaner in it ? In a well maintained engine , is...

I tried Dawn dish soap with hot water and a scrub brush but it did nothing to remove oil stains from my cement drive way - your experiences how to best remove ?

Either an all gas or hybrid SUV that is good quality and reliable - talk me out of a Toyota Highlander as currently it checks more boxes than anything else I have found to date in a mid size SUV . P.S. No Hyundai / Kia please as I just completed a 12 step program on making bad previous decisions .

So , all things equal - would you run a longer OCI with the M1 5W30 EP or the 5W30 ESP ? An up to a 20 K lmile SP rated oil up against all of those Euro approvals with the 5W30 ESP … It may not be that easy to decide !

While at WM yesterday I spot checked different size M1 20,000 mile oil filters and left impressed (visually) at the consistency of the build quality , uniformity , cleanliness and each filter had a plastic seal on the open side. The area where you screw in the oil filter to your engine was...

What are your thoughts and experiences with Fram Tough Guard cannister oil filters ? My OCI’s in my soot producing and oil burning GDI engine gets a 4K mile / 6 month max OCI. If the Tough Guard oil filter as avoided quality issues of the Fram Endurance and Ultra oil filters with just slightly...

Amazon had a good price for Ecoguard air filters so I was considering one for my Hyundai … Any Ecoguard air filter experiences good or bad ?

Curious if VR&P would make for a decent firearms oil considering its ability to prevent carbon build up and wear ?

Today at WM , I saw M1 0W30 ESP on roll back for $24 for the 5 qrt. jug while the M1 5W30 ESP remained at $27. That is the best price for the best off the shelf 0W30 Euro synthetic oil I believe you will find currently … Interesting that the M1 5W30 ESP was not included in the WM roll back...

I started out using all in one CLP products - then really only started using a seperate cleaner , a seperate lube and finally a focused protection from rust product … How many do similar ? I currently like Hoppes / M-Pro 7 spray cleaner , SLIP 2000 / Lucas Extreme lubes and Eezox / Corrosion X...

So , with WM ending the Fram Endurance partnership in favor of the new gold Purolator 20 K oil filter - does this mark the end of the Endurance line for Fram ? *I believe either Fram couldn’t meet the pricing pressure from WM or possibly failing to reliably bring the Endurance to market at the...

If WM is discontinuing the Fram Endurance - then which of GBs above two filters would you buy in place of the Endurance ?

For those who formally used or that are unhappy with the new Fram Ultra and Endurance oil filters - what will you be moving on to that you believe is a better oil filter (even if not rated up to 20K - 25K miles) ?

Any user experiences with the G96 synthetic Mil - Spec oil ? It’s one I’ve wanted to try but just never got around to it . The only true CLP I believe I have is Break Free so curious if G96 has any advantages ?

For driving in the Pacific North West , I’m trying to decide between all - weather or all - season tires for a sedan ? I notice many of the all weather tires come with the mountain + snow designations (M+S) on the sidewall as well and are slightly more aggressive than all season tires … What...

Thd Super Tech Super Concentrated Gas Cleaner sells for $2.53 at WM . Has anyone used it and know what the contents clone ? It’s not a upper cylinder lube (Lucas) and it doesn’t mimic Seafoam , so not sure ? Also , there is a cheaper Super Tech injector & carborator cleaner available form WM...

I recently saw new Sta-Bil Gun CLP at WM and Amazon which is $13 for a very generous size bottle … Has anybody tried it yet ?

There are some newer , user friendly car battery testers that look worth buying . I’d rather test a better every so often when it’s getting up in age to see how it’s trending versus leaving it to chance that one day it won’t start my car and leave me stranded ! Who else follows the same logic ?

For the Rislone oil additive user crowd - how often are you using ? I started using a bottle every third synthetic oil OCI but with a GDI engine dealing with moderate oil consumption I may move this Rislone schedule up to using every other OCI and use Rislone in between as a top off oil to...

From the cut open canister type oil filters you typically see darker , swollen and sometimes pleats and even a small auto canister weighs significantly more when removed at the end of an OCI . Cartridge type oil filters usually always look far better at the end of an OCI which has me wondering...
