Did not see this posted yet, but while at Wally World I see where Havoline Pro-DS is no longer $22.97 but now $29.66 Ouch! I got lucky because they did not change the shelf label for the 0w20 and 5w20, but just the 5w-30. But the 0w-20 did scan at $29.66, but they let me have it for $22.97.

Just wanted to share some information I found out on my ’21 Silverado front and rear axles. Seem like for at least 2019 thru 2021 for GMC and Chevy half tons, there were two differential axle manufacturers. AAM (American Axle Manufacturing) and GM. AAM axles were supplier A RPO SU4 front axle...

Adding a fuse tap to my 2021 Silverado for a new accessory. I had plenty of fuses on hand from prior purchases. But they were not the correct type. Even with the internet it was difficult to figure out what type was currently in the under hood fuse block. I did not take one out for reference so...

Take a look at the temperature gauge on my sons 2021 Mazda 3 2.5 (non turbo). This was after a 25 minute drive into town with the outside temp around 40 degrees. The air from the heater was coming out hot/normal for full heat. My son tells me when the outside temperature is warmer the temp...

Anyone here in North America came across this? How about you guys in Europe? ACEA C6 I can search and fine one company, Exol in the UK that has a 0w-20 that meets the new spec. Stable, stay-in-grade engine oil for improved fuel economy, with mid-SAPS Level, for aftertreatment system...

Anyone have any comments about spring assisted shocks? I did see ACDelco does offer these for Silverado 1500 trucks. I tow a trailer that's only around 5,000 lbs and there is a slight un leveling towards the rear. Figured these might be fine while towing, but may make the ride harsh when...

Remember reading a few threads postulating that gasoline in Europe contains less sulfur than what we get here in the USA. But from what I can gather online the Euro5/6 and Tier 3 in the US are now the same at GF6 oils here in the USA are for the most part mid SAPS oils similar to C3 Euro oils...

Stable, stay-in-grade engine oil for improved fuel economy, with mid-SAPS Level, for aftertreatment system compatibility. Intended for use at extended oil drain intervals in passenger car and light-duty gasoline & DI diesel engines designed and OEM-approved for engine oils with HTHS viscosity of...

Just performed an OC on my 2021 Jetta Tsi 1.4 and noticed the plastic engine cover is missing? I don't remember taking it off in the past. Did not see it in my shop? I did have the vehicle at the dealer a few months back for a ecm flash and can't imagine them needing to remove it? Anyhow, do...

I've read sodium, but then again some say sodium is mainly a detergent but does have some properties as a anti wear. I ask because I have one remaining quart of Valvoline and the rest of what I have is Castrol. The Castrol is the titanium stuff. I'd like to use that last quart for the next OC...

Posted this on another thread and wanted to discuss more: As a side note I find it interesting that for the C7 Corvettes with LT1 & LT4 GASOLINE engines, the factory fill and and recommended oil was Dexos2 M1 0w-40 ESP (Emissions Systems Protection), a .8% sulfated ash engine oil. Not sure if...

Which ACEA sequence, either high saps A5/B5, A7/B7 or the low/mid saps seq C5/C6 would be more similar to a Dexos1 Gen2 say in a 0w20 weight? To put it another way if an application called for a Dexos1 Gen2 0w-20 spec oil, which ACEA category: A/B: Gasoline and Diesel Engine Oils – “High SAPS”...

I may, I repeat may buy a 2021 Chevy Trail Boss. The one I am looking at has a build date of 02/2021. I do believe this truck has NO DFM (Dynamic Fuel Management) system working due to the chip issue. And that's 100% fine by me. What has me a little skittish is this preliminary bulletin...

Have a case of 6 of Mobil 1 ESP 0w-30 that could be three years old. The label states it's ACEA C3, however there is no manufactures approvals or certifications? I've seen oils that have only one manufactures certification, VW508 for example, but this I've not seen before. Any theories why this...

2017 Chevy Colorado towing a 4,500 lb travel trailer. Want to go with Powerstop and there are 4 options: Z36 Extreme - Severe duty truck & tow, carbon fiber infused ceramic Z23 Evolution Sport - Carbon fiber infused ceramic, performance upgrade Z17 Evolution Plus - Carbon Fiber OEM Z16...

The town where I live if opening up a Take 5 Oil Change Service. The concept is you stay in your car and they perform the service in 10 minutes. What I found disturbing is the small footprint of the facility. When you exit the bays you have to make an 180 degree, yes a 180 in what's probably a...

Let's not turn this into a bashing thread. Just asking if given a choice which of the Big 4 do you normally shop? For me, NAPA usually has the best selection of Euro oils, so I normally pick up oil there when they have their monthly specials. When I was growing up NAPA was almost the only...

Arriving today four Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus II for my 2wd Colorado. 265/60-18 Normally I'm a DTD or Tire Rack person, but WalMArt had them for around $20 bucks apiece less and of course free shipping. DTD may have price matching, but I did not bother. Replacing Michelin Defender...

My 91 year old dad called me this past Saturday, said his truck would not start. Had him try it again and it just clicked. A 2016 Canyon with the V6. So I ordered a Die Hard online from AA for $170.00. $20.00 core charge and $13.00 tax. Anyhow, installation was a breeze, but best I can remember...

I'm sure this has been addressed before, but Amazon website (sold and shipped by Amazon) shows the PF53 in this style: But shipped this: The one with a paper clip for reference of the opening around the base plate is an ecore model, which is fine for me. What I've not seen before is that...
