Hey guys, I recently heard of something called Synlube recently and it's suppose to last something like 15 billion lightyears. Anybody has experience with it? www.synlube.com It's not like I am considering to use it or anything, but it just sounds interesting from a engineering point of view.

So my gf and I are planning on buying a new car this week. Our budget is at 15k. We did our research and found that for 15k, we will be able to get a new KIA spectra EX, which comes with everything we wanted. We took the test drive yesterday, and we are very confident that the car can be ours...

Prior to finding this fourm and until today, I have been religiously using synthetics in my car like Mobil1, PP, and Synpower, changing them every 3000 or so miles. I was obviously the only way to do it if I want my car to last forever. I finally bite the bullet today and went from Mobil1 to...

Hey guys, I rotated my tires today by jacking up my car with jackstands today, placing the "plate" at one of the spots of the frame where it was covered by the stuff under the car that feels like a black layer of tar/rubber/plastic. After I was done, I noticed some of the stuff is peeling off...
