    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?

    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.

    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…

    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.

    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...

    I don’t drive much so this is probably premature, but wanted some insights. 2023 GMC Acadia. 2.0T. 9t50. Maybe 10k a year. Any thoughts on a spill and fill every 20k? Seems easy enough but wanted some expert opinions here. Thanks

    GM 2.0t-Oil extractor?

    Anyone know if something like a pela will work on this engine? My wife’s previous Acadia with the 3.6 had a baffle somewhere that did not allow the use of the pela. Thanks in advance

    2023 Acadia 2.0T Filter

    Just picked up a new vehicle. Pf66 is stock. Not knowing much about gm filters, is the stocker ok or is there a better one out there? Oil changes will be based more on time than miles, as I usually get to 6 months before I put 5k on the oil. Appreciate your insights.

    Advice-winter or all weather?

    2021 GLI. Don’t drive more than about 500 miles a month now but want to have the security of good winter performance if I do need to go out in the snow. I’m looking at either 17 or 18 inch wheels with either snow or all weather tires. I like the all weather piece as they should last longer and...

    Looking for home/auto insurance suggestions

    So after 20 years with State Farm and a recent large storm claim, they are dropping me. While I’m upset, it’s a sign to move on and not fight this. I have a friend who is a farmers agent, so I am going to get a quote from him. But, all of you offer great advice regularly so I am looking to you...

    2021 VW GLI-Need some expert help!

    Picked up a new GLI a couple of weeks ago and had read the stock hankooks were pretty crummy. I tend to agree. While new tires aren’t an immediate need, I do want to start looking. I work remote about 75 percent of the time, but do need an all season tire for the few times a year I’ll drive...

    New VW-VW507/509 oil

    Just got a new gli. Requires 508/509 0w20. Vw genuine is Mobil I think. That and the Mobil x2 are similar in price. Valvoline equivalent is about 10-15 cheaper for a six quart box. 5k oci. Think the Mobil is worth the extra coin?
