I just ordered two bottles of the Fuel treatment online along the oil filter and Valvoline Restore and Protect oil discount combo and got free FedEx shipping from Autozone. I don't see why people couldn't just order the more than two bottles that they seek online as $35+ orders gets free...

You should many more miles remaining. I have a 2006 TL as well but without the Navigation unit. It's close to 320k and I bought it from a friend when it had 265k in 2022. I am on a forum for this car and supposedly the Automatic transmission can be weak on these but I've been lucky. The big...

DT also has a "Road Hugger" house tire that I currently am using on a TL. Seems decent two years in.

Ill admit that when I had my Saturn jn my early 20's, the engine was making a ticking noise and I brought it to the dealer. Dealer told me it was really low on oil. Good thing is I learned to check the oil after that and kept that engine running until someone wit no license hit me and totaled it.

There's an Amoco near me that is reasonably priced when using earnify+prime discount. I'm curious if the new stickers are posted there yet.

I believe that they decided to pay for Top Tier + since there are rmultiple reports of seeing the stickers pop up. If it were just one area, I might have believed it was a rogue owner but this seems to be widespread. It's not surprising as they were Top Tier before and then decided to drop it...

In the Chicago suburbs, Costco is anywhere from $2.73-$2.89. Sams is usually the same if nearby. Other stations are usually 10-20 cents more. What is interesting is the Costco's which are cheapest in the area vary. Like Niles IL was the cheapest for awhile, but two weeks ago, it was the...

Walked and got the car back. VSA ! and check engine lights are off this time and stayed off on drive to same grocery store. I need to take it on some longer drives but it now does seem to be running well. They fixed the wheel noise for sure. I shouldn't have to worry about spark plugs anymore...

So these idiots screwed something up when I picked it up yesterday. I had to walk 1.8 miles to the shop and ended ip walking back as well as I dropped it back off. First, there was a ! on and then after driving for a few minutes, the VSA light turned on. I drove to a grocery store about 5...

TLDR: I am currently dropping $1500 or so into my clunker 2006 Acura TL with 315k approximate miles. It still has tires good for another 20-25K and the frame rust is okay. Engine runs well. I hope I can get another year or two out of her so I can wait to get another car. I have another...

Heres another article that popped up. I am in the area so Im lucky I didnt fill up this rental at any of the affected stations. https://kdvr.com/news/local/state-officials-unlikely-to-pursue-monetary-penalties-after-bad-fuel-sold-across-metro-area/amp/

I went to two different Amoco stations in different parts of Illinois this year that look like they had been recently converted. The signs were new outside but inside I noticed they were formally Speedway. I guess the owner decided to switch to Amoco. I could tell it was Speedway by the red...

See the two stories I found in my thread with gad mistakes and the stations involved ponying up $ for repairs: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/diesel-put-in-87-gas-tanks-at-sams-club-ohio.397461/

I'd be worried about mice or other critters getting in and making a nest (apparently the air filter area is a popular spot). This apparently is a common issue with people who store vehicles. Some even have the issue with cars they drive infrequently.

I live in the area and I'm pretty sure all grades are 10% ethanol

I remembered that the bathrooms were really clean when I stopped at one in Texas years ago: that's impressive for an operation that size. I was not impressed by the food prices but we didn't try anything so can't comment on the quality. I saw on the news that one is in the works for a 2027...
