    8 year old Mobil 1 M1-206 safe to use?

    Hello all! Long time bitoger here with a question. I recently purchased two Mobil 1 M1-206 oil filters for my daily driver 2007 Pontiac G6 3.5 off of walmart.com but shipped and sold by Advance Auto parts. They were running them for $6.15 each with free shipping so I ordered a couple. Well they...

    Wal Mart Pricing Issues

    Been with Wal-mart for 15 years and have seen oil prices steadily climb over those years. I've seen good oils come and go and I've watched $1.00 per quart Pennzoil now getting close to $4.00 just to cite one example. One thing is constant--the suppliers go up so we go up. The profit margins have...

    Need rec. on P225/50ZR17 for Pontiac G6

    I think I'm gonna go with some Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum's--$115 or so at discounttiredirect and they are Z rated and a 60,000 mile warranty. Never had any Kumho's but I guess I will try. BTW---I searched craigslist and ebay and nobody had anything used that was worth pursuing.

    Need rec. on P225/50ZR17 for Pontiac G6

    Needing to purchase two tires to match as close as possible the two P225/50ZR17 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S's I have in storage. The car came with some Hankook's on it but I don't like anything about them. The two Michelin's are new and I would purchase two more of them if I had $400 to spare...

    Chevron Supreme or Pennzoil Platinum for trip?

    This is interesting because for the first 50K on my wife's 3.5 Pontiac G6 I used Penn Plat 5w30. However, money got tight and a local store closed out on Chevron Supreme 5w30 and 10w30 so I stocked up with about 20 5qt containers of the Chevron. I now run the Chevron Supreme in the G6 and follow...

    Wix filter media question

    Wix filters are carried at O'Reilly Auto Parts which has a huge distribution chain. Carquest auto parts also hires Wix to make their private label filters and they are very well made. I sure wish we carried Wix at Wal-Mart.

    Grease Monkeys at Wal-Mart

    I appreciate the few of you who stood up for Wal-Mart techs. I've been on the board since 07/02 and have stood back and watched the company I've made a good living with (Wal-Mart) get bashed time and time again. I don't even like the term "Grease Monkeys"....it's quite degrading to men (and...

    M_r_ns at Walmart

    Wmart TLE's are based on first-come-first-serve basis which is highly unpredictable in the real world. To adequately staff such a service area would eliminate the cost effectiveness which Wmart is known for. A real man changes his own oil anyway, IMHO. The oil change side of the business was...

    Found SM, GF-4 M1 at Wal-Mart Today!

    I've worked at Wal-Mart for 9 years and have been on this board for quite a while--you don't even realize how much oil is bought until you work there. It is truly amazing.

    Oldest K&N on the board

    My '92 GMC Sonoma has had three air filters in it's lifetime---the original AC, a replacement AC in '93, and a K&N installed in '94. The truck has almost 120,000 miles on it now and runs like new except for a little pinging when going up hills and accelerating quickly. I clean it about every...

    3.5 quarts Schaeffer blend 10w30 + ?????

    Guys I need some help making up my mind on what to do. I will be changing my oil in the next week or so and need some good opinions. I have a '98 Monte Carlo with the "beloved" 3.1V6 in which I have been using Schaeffer's 10w30 blend for quite some time now. Problem is I only have 3.5 quarts of...

    New design for Super Tech ST3614

    We have 'em here and I bet 95% of the people who use this filter won't even notice the difference--a trained BITOG eye would never miss this though.
