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...

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...

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...

This filter doesn't fit any of my vehicles but I noticed that some boxes of ST3614 were shorter than others--to my suprise the box was the least of the differences. The base plate had several more holes than previous ST3614's and inside of the filter there was no metal tube with holes as 99% of...

This car has the infamous 3.1 V6 and has almost 66,000 miles on the original wires and plugs. I've looked at Magnecor, ACDelco, Borg/Warner, and Carquest brand (Standard) wires along with ACDelco and NGK plugs so far. Are there anymore that I should consider?? Thanks for any replies.

It looks as if Wal-Mart has reconsidered the deletion of Chevron Supreme 10w30. This may be a regional decision but be sure to look out for Chevron Supreme 10w30 in the Central Kentucky/Western Kentucky/Northern Tennessee stores that get their oils from the Hopkinsville warehouse.

That's the word I'm getting anyway. I guess we'll wait and see if this is just regional or if it's a nationwide move.

I am wanting to flush and fill the radiator on a 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 3.1L V6. I've done the process on my pickup several times but it's different for the car as I've read. Does anyone on here do this themselves? Is it a pretty easy job? Any tips? Thanks in advance.

I have a 1998 Chevy Monte Carlo LS with 60,500 miles and has had one tranny flush at 40K with Pennzoil Dex III as the replacement fluid. I want to change the fluid again before the weather gets too hot and was just wandering what is the most recommended Dex III?? I wouldn't want to pay $4-5...

Oil gurus: I have a 1998 Chevy Monte Carlo with the 3.1L V6 and a mild case of piston slap. The intake gasket leak has slipped me so far but the car only has 55,000 miles so I will knock on wood. I have been running the Schaeffer's 7000 5w30 in the car for I'd say around 18 months and am well...

Has anyone seen this or know anything about it. It claims to provide a "thicker cushion when the engine needs it most." This is probably just a thicker blended oil with some increase in anti-wear adds as it states "powerful synthetic additives" on the bottle. $2.27 per quart

The vehicle with a problem is a 1992 GMC Sonoma 4.3L V6 with 108,000 miles on it. As I have posted on the other forums before this truck was purchased new by myself in June 1992 and for the first 100,000 miles or so used Pennzoil 5W30 or Goodwrench (Mobil) 5w30 conventional oil. The last couple...

Does anybody know if we can get these in the US?? All I can find is foreign suppliers. http://www.delphiauto.co.uk/DELproductspages396.asp

I bought a Hastings oil filter for my truck a while back at Federated Auto Parts. After I got it home I did my normal inspection and noticed that instead of holes being inside the filter it had hundreds of tiny slits for the oil to come through after filtering. This indeed is a unique design of...

I myself use Schaeffer's 7000 10w30 now that I am halfway educated by you guys, but a friend of mine has been creating his own recipe. The vehicle is a 2001 Chevy Malibu 3.1L with 4.5 quart capacity. He's been taking 3.5 quarts of Pennzoil 5w30 SL dino and mixing it with 1 quart of Mobil 1 5w30...

I currently drive a 1998 Chevy Monte Carlo with the 3.1L V6 and have used Mobil 1 5w30 in the car since I purchased it last year with 27,000 miles on it. I might add that the previous owner also used Mobil 1 but he used 10w30 and changed every 3-4 thousand miles. I have continued the same...

The pennzoil full synthetic I have noticed is now $3.34 per quart at Wal-Mart. Does this make it a new contender in the "best of" oils class based on value alone? Just curious.

Hey guys!! I am currently trying to decide whether or not to change my tranny fluid. I have a 1998 Chevrolet Monte Carlo in addition to a GMC Sonoma pickup. I bought the car back in November 2001 with 27,000 miles(approx.) on it. It is a four speed automatic with the 3.1 LV6 motor. My real...

First of all I want to say that you guys on this site are great--a little crazy at times (sniffing oil? haha)--but all in all a very, very informative site. I have been using Pennzoil 5W30 in a 1992 GMC Sonoma 4.3lv6 with 100K miles since its third oil change. The truck still runs great and I've...
