I have used fluid film. It did a good job of protecting my Toyota frame. I used the rattle cans. It was messy. But I’m willing to do it again. But is there anything easier to slide under there and hit the frame and rear end to give it mild protection. I don’t live in a salted area. They...

Reading several post in here about new specs coming out for all oils. Havoline got mentioned. Is Havolines Pro DS running neck to neck with PUP and Valvoline Restore and protect ? As far as breaking down the numbers and science behind it. Yall definitely get deeper than my understanding of it...

Did my first oil change. Installed this particular oil filter. It’s simply says 3/4 - 1 turn after contact on the tightness. It really kinda stopped at 2/3. I was able to get it to 3/4 but it was pure muscle and hand cramps. I now will stop at 2/3 next time. I guess the rubber gasket are not...

New truck. Direct injection. First DI only engine I have owned. I had 1117 miles on it. Early change. The oil came out black. Not use to that. At 1000 miles on it. I’m a short tripper. I’ll do the severe oil change intervals. I can’t see running a DI only engine on out there. Oil is cheap...

I plan on getting this for my first oil change. When you put in your vehicle on Wal mart , Advance auto. Or I think O Reilly’s it comes up not compatible with my vehicle. It carries all the specs. SP gf-6a. All my vehicle calls for is a 0w20 SP GF-6A . Mobil 1 website list it as good to...

Just got it. Nissan gives me 3 free oil changes within 2 years with purchase. I’m a do it myself guy. Normally. I talked to the service manager and told him I would bring it back at 1000 miles. And squeeze in the other two changes before the two year time period. He said no problem. I...

Seating here drinking my coffee. Wife had 2023 HRV oil change a week ago . Dealership. Free. I actually don’t have hardly any time till I retire. 12 hour days 6-7 days a week. I finally got around to checking behind them last night. They short changed the oil level. It’s just a tick above...

Got original factory battery. 2019. It's actually fine right now. No issues. But it's pushing 5 years old. So I know it's in its last couple of years. My experience anyhow. I haven't bought a battery in ten years . Stick with a motorcraft replacement when the time comes ? Or anything that...

I started changing my own oil again. Changed it twice. What a pain in butt with my fat ass. Not as small and nimble as I use to be. I had these ramps since the mid 90’s. Changed many many vehicles. But they was smaller trucks and cars. The weight sticker is faded. But I believe it’s says 6500...

Pondering about getting a jeep wrangler . New. 2 door Sport. Power nothing. Plain Jane. But dam there’s a lot of bad reviews on these engines. Are they as bad as advertised ???!

Free oil changes are over. 3 years worth. F150 3.3. I bought PP 5W20 and a Fram ultra guard oil filter. The washer on my drain plug , is it the kind I change out every time ? Or a metal/ rubber coated style. Had that on my thunderbird. If I should replace it , where’s the go to place to get...

New vehicle last night . Checking fluids this morning. The windshield wiper reservoir fluid is clear as water. Might be ??!! I put a sample in freezer. I tasted it. Tasted like water. A drop on my tongue. Rinsed my mouth with clean water. Is it supposed to be clear ?? I realize they put a dye in...

Motorcraft fl500s. Got some points to use at Ford dealership . I have a 2019 f150 3.3 Put 5000 a year on it. So once a year OCI normally. Getting some free fl500s and sitting them on the shelf for a couple of years should be ok ? Might throw in a couple air filters also. I figure no issues. Not...

I’ve search for the particular K series engine that’s in them. I’ve found nothing that identifies it. I’ve search long and hard. Best I can find it’s based off the Civic line. Was wanting to find info break down of the engine. Just nothing that out right identifies it. Other than a 2.0 n/a ...
