My 2017 Ram 2500 with the 6.4 Hemi engine calls for 0w40 and is pretty vague about recommending/requiring ONLY Pennzoil 0w40 SRT specific oil. This is not an SRT motor. The truck used quite a bit of oil in the first 5k miles on the factory fill. It was quite un-nerving to say the least. Almost a...

Anyone have any opinions on choosing an oil for this thing? Doing my usual oil OCD with this vehicle I found some interesting stuff. This vehicle is the same the world over. Same motor, same tune, same everything. They make a diesel version but as far as the gasoline v8/"petrol" engine it is...

I wanted to share some thoughts on my current ride. So here we go .............. This 99 Jeep WJ (grand cherokee) is 4x4 and was purchased very well maintained from a relative. The vehicle has 143K miles and I am the third owner. First let me say this thing is RELIABLE but not durable. Several...

Motorcraft is marketed as a syn blend but is it anymore synthetic than PYB which is marketed as a conventional? I am using PYB 5w-20 in my Ford 5.4 3v but wonder if Motorcraft adds anything over the PYB?

Finally had all I could stand of my 08 Sienna. Traded it on a lightly used Expedition Eddie Bauer. I got a big fat number on trade because of toyota's "reputation" and got a great price on the gas hog expedition. A large third row vehicle is the smallest thing my family can happily live with...

I just got finished with the first oil change in my new sienna. The cartridge filter is a major PIA. Why make something that is easy more difficult? It is not hard but it at least tripled the time spent doing the oil change for no logical reason. I will be doing long oci's on this vehicle.

I finally bit the bullet and bought a new mini van. We have three small kids and usally have a minimum of 5 in the van at all times. We started out looking at a Nissan Quest due to a very low price advertised in the paper. We looked at a base model that was 16995 before taxes. We researched...

Here in east TN all the supertech is the WPP. I understand in other places it may be SOPUS or Exxon-Mobil. I am going to south Florida in a month and would like to try some of the different supertech. Can anyone advise the type of Supertech sold in Florida? I tried searching for about 30 min...

I take care of the basic maintence on my mom's car. She is not very good about doing maintence so I do it. Her car is a 2005 Camry 4cyl. I hauled the car to the dealer for free oil changes until they ran out at 30K miles (5K oci). I am just too busy to do 5k oci's on her car so at 30K I put in...

It seems that additives in the trans or engine seem to get picked on around here so I thought I would ask what additives have worked for you guys. I have never used a engine oil additive but I have used some stuff in a transmission with instant results. Smartblend...

I have a John Deere lawn tractor and need to know what kind of product should I use on the plastic hood to make it look nice. Should I use a polish, wax, cleaner wax or what?

My mom has a heck of a time starting her push mower. She told me to pick her out a new very basic push mower (not self propelled). I planned on running her new mower on 5/10w-30 for easier starting. Would one of the fancy super duper spark plugs help? Any other ideas? Any mower suggestions...
