Thanks. I had no idea. I thought it was some level below Warren/Mag 1 which I had used many years ago in my speed demon machines with no issues.

Thanks dudios. This thing had a small popout spout which helped. I was able to pick it up one last time in my life and toss it into an empty 5 quart Castrol Edge Euro jug 3 times in a row that I use for my MK4 ALH TDIs. It was difficult at first like stated but TBH less messy than other parts of...

Yeah not the case for Traveller at TSC. Used to be the same price per quart for the 2.5 gallons but they are running a promo...probably due to too many aging grumps like me. Maybe I need to switch brands then.

Seems logical. I have at least one jug from the last oil change. Still seems very messy though and hard on the back.

My attitude about oil belongs largely in the "Product Rebates, Sales and Promotions" section so don't get bent out of shape. If there is a whole section devoted to cheapskateism then I have every right to post here or at least somewhere in this forum. I stopped buying 2.5 gallons of Traveller...

Truly shocked. I expect tons of contrary perspectives. Thanks.

My 2002 Excursion 7.3 with about 208,000 miles takes about 1.5-2 years to get 5,000 miles on the oil. I use HDEO Traveler Oil 15w-40 and Protec/Wix oil filter as my go to bang for the buck IMO since the engine is relatively young and these things go forever. The bigger thing is that I am...

Which one did you have? Outback or Tribeca? I know what you mean about the engine's feeling. We sued the dealer over it and got the JDM engine so it worked out.

I feel like just about every one of these blows head gaskets at around 170k. Not so much with the ez36r. This is how the JDM engine came about for this vehicle.

Oh, I see. I just through out the EPA number for city driving. I might get close to 18 in the city. These vehicles don't get great mpg with the heavy weight and awd.

Not sure what you would like for me to explain. I keep the vehicle around because I am familiar with the good and bad things about it and it is pretty safe for my daughter.

Thanks, do you mean the 74k or the 16 mpg?

Hi, I own this vehicle. It has about 74k on the JDM engine that was installed about 7 years ago. No problems with the engine whatsoever. I change the oil every 5k miles with Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 0w30 and Subaru black oil filter. I use Mobil 1 Euro 0w40 on my Ej257 Forester XT and...

I buy those in bulk as needed. I did know about spraying them. Cool.

Costco Interstate. I have them in 2 other vehicles and don't have this issue either.

Thanks. I only run AGM batteries yet this is still happening. Points taken on the remedies though.

I am wondering what the best stuff to clean up battery terminals is that is just spray on and requires little to no scrubbing. Want something that removes rust and battery acid. I have been through a few brands and some seem like gimmics. Deoxit and Kroil seem to work well but they are...

Not sure what to do here. The Peak Global Fleet is not lifetime so I have to drain it every few years (chatgpt says 2 years or 200k miles) and the Peak Final Charge is lifetime? This vehicle gets 10k miles on it if I am lucky it's just a lets go on a roadtrip vehicle. To add, I find myself torn...

Hmmm looks like NAPA has a sale and I still don't have to get off my tail nor do I need to buy 6. Saved me about 6 bucks....wondering if I can stack a coupon code. PSC might be cheaper in other instances though. I do believe that I learned about them here. Thanks.

So for the 6 gallons of pure undiluted I am getting 6 for $102.94 shipped. Shipping makes up about $41 of it. I would go 55 gallons but really this will last a long time since I can't use it in my other vehicles not even my ALH TDIs which is a pain. I have not seen it cheaper. Good to see...
