Saw this on Amazon. Is it just for European cars?

A follow up to your recommendations, which I asked about last month: Any thoughts/experience with the M&P Shield X, in 9mm? My local FFL highly recommends it (and looks like the tax return will help out with getting one ;))

Just ordered for my wife's prius. Thanks, Jeff !

Mine got cancelled. Even though the site claimed my store had them in stock.

Does anyone know anything about Ultra 1 blend at Tractor Supply? Seems like a good price: https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/ultra1plus-sae-5w-20-synthetic-blend-motor-oil-api-sp-ilsac-gf-6a-usb0520spgf6aj-2438946

Saw this on the webpage for AutoZone today: Castrol GTX Synthetic Blend 5W-20 5qt - $15 Clearance at some stores. Part #03107C SKU #852570 YMMV.

5w30 Quaker State Full Synthetic, at WalMart for $20.97. (Normally $28.99) in Northern Calif. YMMV: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Quaker-State-Full-Synthetic-5W-30-Motor-Oil-5-Quart/177257743?classType=VARIANT&from=/search

We shot a Glock 19 (brother in-laws) a couple of years ago at the range. She seemed to feel ok with it, and even her mother shot a few rounds with it. May have to revisit that idea. Thanks again.

Wow. A lot of rabbit trails here and experience. Thanks for more ideas. Pont of clarification: I'm a CCW and have & use two different calibers, 22lr and 9mm. I occasionally take her range shooting with me. She is small frame 5'-4", midlife age and small hands. Does not always like the 9mm...

We'll head to some shops and check on the Ruger Security 380 and Kahr. She's not really too keen on a revolver. Thanks for the advice.

Yes, it's for home defense. This is not for EDC. She does not like shotguns...so would prefer a pistol. Maybe .380 like you said.

We also have considered the RXM. Thanks for the recommendations.

I saw one of those (but skinnier) out on public lands last week, while hiking near a county road. No joke. Guessing it was stolen, and whatever was inside was gone....because the door was cut open at the hinges. And that digital keypad lock was popped off. Looks like more of a storage locker...

Considering a S&W SD40 or SD9 for wifey. Anyone have experience with this one? She's not big on a lot of recoil. We see it's on sale at various places now for around $300.

If I still had my Cherokee XJ with the 4.0 engine... I would grab some of that Shell Rotella T5 Synthetic Blend 10W-30 Diesel Motor Oil. That 10w30 always ran great in my old engine. Good stuff.

their link may be mis-leading...as when I ordered it said 'synthetic'

Listed on Amazon, for $22.98 bucks in the 6-qt box, for High Mileage Synth....in either 5w20 or 5w30: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DQR5F4PB/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&th=1

The High Mileage Synth on those in 5w20 and 5w30 is now $22 bucks for the 6-qt box each, on Amazon. (as of January 12, 2026)

Check the oil filter/cooler seal on top of your engine. It may be leaking small amounts of oil there. My son had that same issue with his Jeep 3.6 engine...it's a common minor leak problem that can be an easy fix with a modified seal part available for purchase.
