Hi everyone, I recently cleaned up a set of OEM Nissan wheels for my Maxima that I had saved from a previous Maxima. I was originally going to have the wheels reconditioned, but for the $650.00 cost I would rather clean them myself. The outside face of the wheels cleaned up nicely from the...

Hi everyone, As the title indicates, does anyone have experience with Sumitomo tires? I have been looking for tires on Tire Rack and the Encounter AT tire ssemingly has good reviews. I have zero knowledge of this brand and their reputation. Some general Google searches seem to say that they are...

Hi everyone, I was recently on a pick up truck page and someone noted that they recently purchased new tires for their truck at a great price. They further went on to say that they were an exact copy of the BFG KO's. I was intrigued to do a bit more research about these Treadwright Tires. After...

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a very low mileage 1997 Maxima (65,000 miles) and I replaced the thermostat and radiator. I used a conventional green coolant and I have not had any issues.......but. I used the conventional green because that's what I used in my 1996 Maxima that I had for...

Hi everyone, I have used Mobil 1 5w30 ESP in the past with seemingly good results. I haven't purchased it in about a year, so needless to say I was shocked beyond belief when I went to buy some! At my local stores the best I could find it for was $15.00 per quart. At that price point, there are...

Hi everyone, I recently posted a question in the motorcycle forum about using Mobil 1 0w40 Euro oil in my ATV's, but what about using this oil in small engines? This oil has a great reputation in the passenger car forum, but people don't mention it's use in small engines. Will it offer better...

Hi everyone, I was recently in BJ's and the had a great sale on Mobil 1 oil. I picked up a six pack of Mobil 1 0w40 Euro oil for $26.00. The 0w40 oil seemingly has a great reputation in the passenger car oil section. Some people even claim it to be almost a "universal" oil. I need to do a oil...

Hi everyone, As the title indicates, I am looking for some insight as to advantages to either of the oils that I noted; Mobil 1 5w30 ESP vs Liqui Moly Top Tec 4200 5w30. Both oils are 504/507 rated, however I can't seem to find any head to head comparisons. Are both oils generally similar to...

Hi everyone, I have been using Stihl HP Ultra (silver bottle) two cycle oil in my power equipment for many years without incident. I recently went to purchase a six pack of the 2.6 oz bottles and I noticed some changes to the formula, I think! The first thing that I noticed is that it does not...

Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience with the "club exclusive" Michelin X LT A/S - SUV/Truck tire. I purchased the first set of these tires for my 1999 Explorer a few years ago and I was/am very happy with them. The ride quality is great and after roughly 15,000 or so miles they does...

Hi everyone, I am currently in the market for new tires for my 2019 VW GLI. My car currently has 10,000 miles on the stock Hankook Kinergy tires. The stock tires are beyond awful is every aspect, hence why I want to change them. I have spent countless hours researching tires, and I keep landing...

Hi everyone, So as the title implies, I received a text message from a friend asking about oil from Wal Mart. He was heading to Wal Mart to purchase 5 qts of 5w30 oil (he was not interested in any other viscosity) and he wanted to know what the "absolute best" oil that WM carried in 5w30, price...

Hi everyone, I have a quick question about Mobil 1 0w40 Euro oil. Around here that oil is looked upon as magic in a bottle, however some people have noted that it can "kill" the cats on cars/trucks.

Hi everyone, I own a 1999 Explorer with the 4.0 SOHC V6 with 212,000 miles on the original engine. The Explorer has been in the family since new and it has always run 5w30, usually changed every 3,000 miles since new. As is the case with most of the SOHC engines it has the chain rattle upon...

Hi everyone, I have a quick question about my 2011 Nissan Titan 4x4 pick up. I purchased the truck brand new ten years ago and it currently has 14,000 miles on it. It lives in the garage and doesn't do any heavy duty work. It is never used in the winter, it just sees use in the spring and...
