Bought a 2025 1500 Ram Bighorn SST after lemon lawing my Nissan Frontier that was missing frame welds. It has been broken for 32 days now waiting on a water pump and some sort of computer issue. The driver assist features are disabled so the dealership reprogrammed the computer now ABS is...

I have been trying different oils in my 2020 Kia Rio since I bought it in May. I have a 90 mile round trip commute and I work 6 days a week and 1 weekend a month so I get 3 days off a month. I have been trying PUP, Edge EP, Mobil 1 EP and Motorcraft so far for full 5k OICs. I only have about 3...

I bought a certified pre-owned 2023 Nissan Frontier 6 weeks ago with 14k miles on it. I brought it in for warranty repairs as the steering wheel developed a popping sound and the right front sounded like the strut or a bushing was going bad. I dropped it off at 7am. At 5pm I went back and asked...

I inherited a 1995 Spectrum Dominator 17' Aluminum Boat with a 60/45 Mercury Jet 2 Stroke engine. It had been sitting winterized for 2 to 3 years. I got it to where it would start and run in the driveway by putting the motor in a tote full of water that I jacked up to the motor. When we got to...

I have a 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage with a little over 89kiles on it. The transmission has been acting up for about 15k miles. I took it to Certified Transmission and they said the transmission was fine but the engine was under powered. It's a 74hp 3 cylinder of course it is under powered. Anyway...

I just picked up 2 Fram Ultras from Walmart and they are now made in China like Wix. Does anyone know if Purolator is American Made?

Just picked up an Echo CS-4010 to replace a CS-310 that wouldn't stop leaking oil. My dealer didn't want to sell it because they had some old ones but I told them I would buy this new one and not the old one. I got it home an oh man is this thing amazing. So much power, perfect balance and so...

I got the PDS from Quaker State. It took 5 emails to get it. They claimed they didn't even know it was available until I sent photos and it's walmart exclusive.

Our 2018 Equinox started dropping significant MPGs after towing a Uhaul trailer from PA to NE. When I changed the oil the filter started collapsing so I did a UOA. I'm very happy with wear numbers as during our trip we drove through a massive storm. We were only getting 12MPG with the trailer...

I'm the second owner of a 2015 Mirage. I changed the CVT Fluid and it came out looking like used motor Oil. Car has 71k miles on it.

Fram TG12060 started collapsing at 5,400 miles on a 2018 Chevy Equinox 1.5T GDI. Rest of the filter looked good. Sent oil to Blackstone Labs. Oil was Castrol Edge EP 0W-20. Goal was to run to 5,900 miles to be back to a 5k OIC but changed early because average MPG dropped by about 12MPG over the...

I took deliver of my new rockhopper comp today. This was my first time on a 29er. I love how it carries speed. I have been impressed with it so far. I probably only rode 4 or 5 miles yesterday after I built it. I'm coming from a 2012 Lappierre Pro Race 700. So this is a mu h cheaper bike. I just...

I'm about to buy a new Blower Vac. Sold my 7 year old Toro at our yardsale today. I have it narrowed down to the Echo ES-250 and Stihl SH 86 C-E. I know both will be better than my old Toro. Main use will be the vac mulcher feature. I love my echo stuff and I can get the echo $90 cheaper but the...

We have had our 2015 Kia Sedona for about a year now. One odd thing I notice is the oil level on the dipstick goes up a noticeable amount each time you pull it out to check it. Does that mean the first reading is the most accurate? Don't be confused about me saying it goes up each check. If I...

We bought a used 2015 Kia Sedona back in May. The first oil change was 4k miles long with Motorcraft SB 5W-30. It used about half a quart in that time. The second oil change has about 5k miles on it with Motorcraft FS 5W-30 and no oil consumption. Could this me NOACK related loss on the first...

Wife just got a 2015 Kia Sedona with 60k miles on it. She bought pre paid maintenance for 2 years from the Ford Dealer. 5W30 Motorcraft SB every 6 months or 5k miles. The manual says to use an A5 rated oil ever 7,500 miles but if A5 isn't available then to use API SL. I will be deployed so I...

Got a new Cub Cadet X2 24” with the 243CC engine. I’m going to de deployed for a year. I was going to do the 5hr recommended break in then put Mobil 1 EP HM 5W-30 or Royal Purple 5W-30 in it and tell her not to worry about it till I get home. Was going to do this will all the OPE. I’m leaning...

Is there any reason not to use UNL 88? It’s an E15 blend that’s 88 Octane. It’s normally $0.33 or 15% cheaper here than E10 87. Both of our cars say you can use up to E15. (2019 Honda Insight and 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid).

I just bought a brand new 2019 Honda Insight. It was assembled January of 2019 which means the oil in it is almost 2 years in the oil pan. Is it still a bad thing to change the oil early in a Honda or is it fine as long as it meets the specs? Also, Honda only says to change the filter every...

Traded the Charger on a brand new never owned 2019 Honda Insight with 50 miles on it. They were offering Lifetime Powertrain and unlimited miles for all their leftover 2019s at this Honda dealer. I added lifetime wrap coverage the basically covers most everything else the Powertrain doesn’t...
