    Mobil 1 FS 0W-40, 4,000 miles, 2020 Kia Soul

    Not true, this is some very good oil. I don't know what benchmark oil means in this context, but the new SP version has numerous approvals.

    Electric Vehicles and the Climate Conundrum: Unmasking the True Titans of Greenhouse Gas Emissions

    As someone who's always been passionate about the potential of electric vehicles (EVs), I've spent a great deal of time exploring their role as a mitigator against global warming.

    Another Hemi bites the dust.....

    Their build quality is middle of the road. They like to weasel out of warranty claims, justified or otherwise.

    Another Hemi bites the dust.....

    As much as I'd love to join in the joke about FIAT's questionable quality control, that's not the main issue here. The problem is their CEO, Carlos Tavares. This man's decisions are hurting the company. He's so focused on cutting costs that he's ignoring the potential damage. What's his...

    Another Hemi bites the dust.....

    I know, but it's beyond funny, not to mention absolutely ridiculous, that this old wives' tale is still floating around the net. Yet the owner's manual states that your warranty is void if you race your car. What's that called when you rev the nuts of your engine at the race track? There are...

    Another Hemi bites the dust.....

    I came across some info that says if you use Red Line 5w30 oil in HEMIs, it can help prevent a bunch of valvetrain problems. Pretty neat, huh? So, if you got a HEMI and wanna keep it in good shape, give that oil a try. It might just do the trick and save you some headaches down the road.

    2021 ram 1500 5.7 hemi; Pennzoil Platinum 5w20 5k mi

    Found this on the Internet. Maybe you should give Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30 a try and see what happens. The wear numbers look very good for a 120K mile truck:

    22 Ram 2500 6.7 Cummins First oil change 17,500 Miles, consequences?

    The prevalent culture in our society is increasingly fostering mediocrity and negligence, instead of pushing for excellence and diligence. We've come to not just tolerate, but oddly enough, to glorify these traits. This is a pressing issue, given the pervasive and influential role of culture in...

    22 Ram 2500 6.7 Cummins First oil change 17,500 Miles, consequences?

    More importantly: did any of you check the oil level on a regular basis, or at least once or twice, during the first 17.500 miles?

    Oil Types, High Mileage Motor Oils, and Ideal Oil Change Intervals

    I did, even took notes: Chapter 1 Viscosity is a fluid's resistance to flow. High viscosity fluids don't flow easily, and low viscosity fluids flow easily. Engine oils used to be simple refined fluids, with different oils having different flow rates, denoted by letters A, B, C. The Society of...

    Valve cover sealant

    A little bit of this at the mating point of surfaces. You can get it from AAP: https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/permatex-ultra-grey-rigid-high-torque-rtv-silicone-gasket-maker-3k200329086pmx/11263885-P?searchTerm=permatex+ultragray Then give it a few hours or a day to dry and harden. Oil...
