Their 'resin' wax doesn't last very long, and the shine is nothing really special, IMHO. I pretty much think it's like England's Meguiars...

I really wish we would get engines like these. The TDI is good and all right now, but the Geo Metro and old Honda Insight proved there is a market for these high-mileage marvels here.

I would look elsewhere if you care about fuel economy. My buddy only averages 21.8 mpg half highway/half city. It is a heavy car with a tiny, low-tech engine. Many new small cars are coming out that are looking to change the landscape: new Ford Focus, Chevy Cruze, Ford Fiesta, not to mention...

What exactly is a JK? I haven't heard that acronym before

Get a free alignment check somewhere, and also have them take a look at the tie rod ends. My roommate just had to replace both tie rod ends to fix this exact problem.

Bendix CT-3 or Akebono ProACT

I used to give Sal a call every once in awhile and chat about his products. He told me the polish shelf life is approx. 3 years (although this was the old formula). If I were you, I'd get a new bottle of Z2Pro if you're planning on getting maximum durability out of it. Z2Pro has a higher gloss...

Originally Posted By: demarpaint I recall reading here that mixing one brand of ATF+4 with another brand is no problem at all. IIRC all ATF+4 is made to the exact same Chrysler specification. That is correct. All ATF+4 is the same.

Ultra is the new premium synthetic, one notch above Platinum. Should be able to handle that OCI, but everyone's waiting for some UOAs.

Originally Posted By: shpankey Why did you change from PP? Seems your car loved it. I'd go back to it. Eh, some sales were too good to pass up. I have about six more oil changes in my stash; two of which are PP. After my stash is used up, I will go back to it as my regular oil.

Originally Posted By: gib What was the previous oil used in this car? I'm curious where that sodium came from. It's definitely not in the M1. PP 5W-30...it seemed to love it. Originally Posted By: ctc The only thing I find alarming is the short OCI.... I like to keep the engine spotless...

I like the Tokyo Roki the best out of these. Appears to be very well assembled.

Do you guys think that the high sodium and shearing may indicate coolant coming from somewhere?

This is just my second sample for my car. First report was stellar, and now it's not so hot. This oil was in the car since September, it went through a tough winter of short commutes, and shortly before the sample was taken, I drove to Stamford, CT and back; cruise control at 70mph constantly...

In our aviation administration class, Southwest is always used as the model of how to run a great airline. They make sure that each and every employee likes waking up and going to work each day. The CEO has also been known to randomly visit baggage handlers and desk clerks and shake their hands...

Everybody has their favorites....leave it at that...

50/50 Simple Green/water mix and a brush. Has worked very well so far!

The prices were way out of line with what you got....a Rolls-Royce Phantom has just as much luxe for less $$. It will be another relic from a time of excess...
