    STP Full Synthetic High Mileage Motor

    My local 99 cents store (an independent, not a chain) is selling this oil which is rated SQ for $4.99 a quart. SQ is the new I see it's also available at AutoZone but for $9.98 a quart. Of course STP doesn't make oil itself, it just licenses the name. STP oil used to be sold at Dollar General...

    Do you get or will you get a pension?

    I was a California state employee so I receive a pension from PERS and I of course get Social Security. I'm a widower who lives modestly so this is more than enough. (I drive a 2013 Toyota Yaris.) I also have an IRA converted from a 403b that requires a "Required Minimum Deduction" each year...

    Change ATF on 2013 Toyota Yaris with no history?

    My trusted mechanic says that he doesn't recommend changing the fluid.. I don't like this. Thinking of that black ATF disgusts me. I don't like abusing machinery. But it's shifting fine and I'm going to take his advice for now.

    Change ATF on 2013 Toyota Yaris with no history?

    I bought a 2013 Toyota Yaris with 123,000 miles. No maintenance records.. I'm asking whether I should change (not flush) the ATF.). No shifting problems. AFT smells OK. Ugly black color. I'm an old gezzer who drives mostly short trips here is sunny southern California.

    Oil change interval Mitsubshi Mirage 2024

    The maintenence manual for this little car states the oil change interval for NON-stressed driving is SIX months or 7500 miles. I seems to me that this is excessive. I don't drive much, only 3500 miles a year and I've had to change the oil twice. Unfortunately, I'm an old beat-up guy, a disabled...
