hmmm, I guess I wouldn't take the risk. Although it is tempting, the savings aren't big enough to justify the leap of faith. I saw it on sale for $40 for the 5L jug. Reg price is $47. I'm currently purchasing certified Motul x-clean for $50. I think I'll just stick to that.

Not to distract from the OP, but I have a question about 229.51 approval... I am located in Canada, where we have a large auto parts chain called Canadian Tire. They have an in-house private label brand called MotoMaster. I recently discovered that they have a "European Formula" 5W-30, which on...

So I'm bringing this thread back to life... What are people using for 229.51 approved oil these days? I am curious to know if anyone in the Toronto area knows where to buy that Mobil 1 ESP Formula M stuff at a decent price, or any 229.51 approved juice for that matter. I'm still using...

Originally Posted By: TiredTrucker Like was stated earlier, Schaeffer's 9000 5w40 will do the job and is far and away cheaper than what you are paying. I admit I buy in larger quantities, but even with a smaller buy you could beat the pricing easily by 1/2 or more. Where can I get Schaeffer's...

Hi guys, It's been a while since I posted. Anyways, I've got a new vehicle. It's my first diesel. It's a Grand Cherokee overland, with the Mercedes-Benz 3.0 L V6 CDI. Anyhoo, the manual says it needs oil that meets the following specs: MS-11106, MB 229.31, or MB 229.51 Any suggestions? Also...

So I was doing some reading, came across this story on Yahoo: http://ca.autos.yahoo.com/p/758/the-worlds-cleanest-cars It is a short article about CNG and other types of alternative fuels. They mention cars being run on dual systems, that basically add CNG or LPG (propane) systems in addition...

Hi, I have a question for people in NJ, or anyone who may know about this kind of stuff... I'd like to know what taxes are involved when purchasing a used car in NJ. Is there a state tax? If so, how much? What other taxes? Anyone who knows about buying/selling used cars may be able to answer...

Okie dokie guys, thanks for the input. I hope my 318 likes it!

Hey guys, Haven't posted in a little while... been running an Auto-Rx treatment on my 96' BMW 318 Cabriolet. It works wonder, I'm telling you. The car had a slow leak somewhere, I think around the rear main seal. It was dripping very lightly. I ran the cleaning phase with Quaker State green...

ryan2022, you are asking an interesting question. what i take from the way you stated your question, is that you are thinking of going synthetic for your RSX. for some reason, you seem to be partial towards mobil products. you say you want to try mobil 1, but are weary about it being too thin...

cool info bob. all those numbers sure do get confusing. i went on vacation... left april 17. gas in toronto was 1.10/liter. came back on may 11. gas in toronto was 1.25/liter. i'm certain it will be 1.50 this weekend, as this is our biggest long weekend of the season (victoria day weekend...

yup, confirmed. i've got 2 jugs of Super 1000 5W-30 sitting in my garage. can't wait to use it! :D

how was a broken crank not covered under warranty? thats pretty upsetting...

currently on the dodge and chevy websites. it says maximum available payload capacity of 2527 kg for the sprinter. chevy website says up to 1881 kg. thats for the 3500 series in either one.

Slow? Its pretty [censored] fast, actually. I drove it and it had a whole lot of kick. Its a cargo van, man... not a turbo caravan drag race van.

ya, but the Freightliner Sprinter and the Dodge Sprinter are identical. Dodge sells most of them, by a wide margin. the fact is that this van is FAR more capable than the current american offerings, such as the chevy express and the ford e-series vans. they are capable of a greater payload, the...

Hey guys, A buddy of mine works for an upscale fitness equipment company here in Toronto. The owner recently ditched their Chevy Express delivery van in favor of the new Dodge Sprinter. We took the van out the other night, and I was driving it around for a while... I gotta say, this van kicks...
