    Current consensus on PUP?

    Now that it’s dexos gen 3 approved I’m intrigued. My Acadia gets 5k changes so I know it doesn’t matter really. Currently using M1. What’s the current consensus on PUP? Good stuff?

    I wonder how this would do in a dexos application. I know…not approved.

    VW 504 in place of dexos?

    Thanks all. Just thinking of running a common oil in my gmc and VW. Seems like esp 5w30 might be the ticket.

    VW 504 in place of dexos?

    Warranty aside, thoughts on VW 504 in place of dexos? Turbo direct injection four cylinder. Hypothetically, of course. Oil would be M1 5w30 ESP.

    Valvoline Restore/Protect Isn't Dexos Licensed.

    Seriously asking. Gm recommends or requires? I was under the impression that decos was a more stringent spec than normal API spec.

    I'm using their PCMO in my acadia. Probably similar use. This gives me confidence.

    Favorite Stainless Cleaner and polish for appliances?

    Currently I use sprayway and am pretty happy with it. But, since we’re getting new appliances this week I thought I would ask what your favorites are. Really looking for a decent product that is easy to use. Experts chime in! 😀

    Messiest oil change... ever?

    Get an extractor. I have an Acadia with the same engine. Pump it out. Put a cheap foil pan under the filter. Pull it. Reinstall. Boom.

    When is an automatic car wash the cleanest?

    Anything with brushes or cloth will mar the paint. Period. For many, this is good enough. For me, I only use a touch less and even that is rare. Many times I’ll do to the do it yourself, high pressure spray it, and then rinseless wash it at home. It gets the touch less maybe 2-3 times a year. If...

    HPL Customer Service

    I’ve been really interested in HPL as they are local to me. Reached out to Dave to ask him about my application, his thoughts on product, and a couple of other things. Quick response and actually suggested a lower priced product rather than the higher priced product I asked about. Love it. very...

    Generator suggestions?

    Coming to the masters. I am looking to get a portable generator. Really haven’t had the need in our current house in the ten years we’ve been here, but want to be prepared. Really would use it to power my kitchen fridge, charge electronics, maybe power a few small fans. Not going to run the ac...

    Let’s pick my oil…

    Yeah…4 year old vehicle with factory fill. Some reasoning might lead one to believe I no longer have this vehicle. I never said D1G3 is a no go. I asked for input. Thanks.

    Let’s pick my oil…

    2023 Acadia 2.0t. 50/50 driving. Price is not an issue. Been using M1 at 5k intervals. HPL- any thoughts? Be specific. Amsoil? Stay with M1? Other off the shelf suggestions? Manual suggests 0w20. I’ve been going 5w30.

    Portillos in Davenport IA, and **** Portillo

    Went to college in the QC and still visit frequently. They have some fantastic restaurants. Hole in the wall places all the way to fine dining. Prices near Chicago too. I’d love to relocate there one day.

    It’s low. Not sure exactly, but we weren’t a big player.

    BMO Bank getting out of car loan business

    I’ve worked for BMO for 20 years. They have vacillated on auto finance for many years, especially in the US. It was just a bit odd. Looks like loan loss provision jumped up for auto loans in a very big way. Business decision. Interesting one, but hey… That being said, it’s a very well...

    Looking for fuel system maintenance guidance

    2023 Acadia 2.0T. Bought it in February and don’t drive much as I work from home 90 percent of the time. Likely going to put 6-8k a year on it. I’m sticking to 5k/6 month OCI. Likely will be time rather than mileage based. I’m also thinking about fuel system maintenance. I’ve used regane hm in...
