Not who you replied to, but I've used 0w20 since I bought the car 3 years ago. I got a good deal on Pennzoil Ultra Platinum through Amazon a while back, so that's going in my Kia and the wife's Odyssey. When those run out I think I'm just going to run Mobil1 ESP 0w30 from here on out in mine at...

Doubtful. In the end it mainly came down to them not fully flushing the engine out once it was machined leaving bits of metal that clogged the crank bearing journals. No oil will fix a situation where it can't reach to begin with. I wish when it happened to mine I'd asked what exactly caused it...

I had to go through this same scenario last March. Except mine never gave any indication that it was ready to go. Just going down the highway with the family and the car just shuts down. Won't even crank. There was never any noise or glitter to the oil and I had been changing it every 4k-5k...

I've done this for years. Only exception has been new jeans the first couple times, and even then I'll wash those with anything darker than them. Never once had an issue in over 20 years. Wash everything on cold except a couple things. Saves money and detergents are meant to work in all temps...

Just an FYI, I have a Kia with the same Theta engine. Bought at 72k miles. Made sure all the necessary recalls and inspections were done on it in case the engine let go on me. Drove it for just over a year and a half and had zero issues. Great power, no oil burning, always inspected the oil each...

Yep. As the saying goes, if you can't afford a new BMW, you definitely can't afford a used one.

What engine does it have in it?

Literally just about any current cheap oil (such as SuperTech, Kirkland, RIP Amazon Basics, etc.) on the shelf meeting or exceeding the specs in the manual will work for well over 99.9% of people. That includes the people here lol

No doubt. Dealers would give you $500 for it and sell it for $7k min. Around me they sling 20+ year old Toyotas and Hondas pushing 300,000 miles for $7k-$10k. It's unreal.

I mean there is Flogging Molly lol

You might want to read some recent reviews on the Lectric XP4. I know when it first launched and even up til last fall they had issues with the 750W model. The motor they used had a lot of quality control issues and people were returning them. Surely they've fixed it by now, but it's hard to...

I bought from Velotric last September, and I would 100% buy from them again. I finally settled on the Fold One Plus because I wanted something I could easily transport without significant investment in a heavier duty bike rack. It came with a 2 year warranty, whereas others like Lectric and...

Ultra pasteurized milk absolutely tastes much worse though. There's even a difference in texture? Mouthfeel?

I mean, depending on the car I can see 3 hours for a battery replacement lol

A while back I saw a VOA on Pennzoil Ultra Platinum, and those that commented were disappointed that nothing had changed. Here's how I see it. The certs on the bottle say meet or exceed. Most (probably) that passed SP/GF6 passed SQ/GF7 as soon as it was announced. Shoot, they may even pass the...

That Malibu will never know the difference between and Dexos and non-Dexos oil. It's my understanding that the reason oils like Valvoline Restore and Protect and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum don't have the Dexos cert is because they don't want to give up the formulas for the oils. They are their...

Yeah right lol

Valvoline Restore and Protect is not a genie in a bottle. It will only help clean the engine, not solve major mechanical issues. No oil will fix piston slap.

Muffler bearings? Canooter valve? All these things have a huge impact.

Samsung infamously had batteries explode several years ago with their phones to the point airlines were banning them if you had the affected phones. Discharged or not, it's not worth the risk. If you're feeling adventurous enough, you can always get a metal bucket and fill it with sand, then...
