    Alternative to Shell Rotella Gas Truck

    Rotella gas truck was discontinued about 2 years ago. I bought some on clearance and used it in my old Mazda3. It was not a special oil, if you want to use oil made by Shell, buy Pennzoil or Quaker State.

    Brown sports car, would you buy one?

    I like the color, it looks good in person. I was considering a Mazda3 in that same color.

    2024 Jetta Oil

    The factory fill on my 2023 GLI had the oil filled to the middle of the hatching marks on the dipstick, seems normal to me. I only have 8K miles on the car and only used 508.00 oil, the engine is quiet and smooth. I don't understand the weird obsession with this VW spec oil here.

    My Poor, Innocent Jetta. Totaled or Not? You Be the Judge.

    That looks repairable, that is a lot less damage that totaled my old Mazda3 in a rear-end collision. Hope insurance covers a rental car!

    Power Washers

    Go to a pool supply store and get a 2.5 gallon container of pool chlorine. It's the most effective and cost efficient cleaner that will kill mold/mildew.

    Post your latest oil change

    I had the oil and filter changed in my Jetta GLI yesterday. Took it to the dealer for it's "annual" (at 6800 miles) oil change, though I changed its oil earlier this year at ~3K miles so this is it's second OCI. This is the first time during my entire car ownership ever that I had someone else...

    My VW GLI tends to try to get the oil temp to 220F and stay there in all ambient temperatures.

    New vehicle purchase: ‘24 Mazda 3 Hatch 6MT

    Nice! I like the color, it looks good in-person in my opinion. I was going to replace by 2007 Mazda 3 hatchback with a new one last year when my 07 was totaled. But, the local dealer didn't have stock and was charging $3K+ "MaRkEt AdJuStMeNTt" on their cars. I ran out of that dealership and...

    Abandoned Ford Dealership In Germany Still Has Brand New Escorts And Sierras

    Someone stops by every once in a while and airs up the tires. If that was truly abandoned in the 1980s, those tires would be completely flat. Not abandoned, but someone is keeping it as a time capsule. Maybe a family member of the owner?

    Would connecting a trickle charger while the truck is not in use, like overnight, increase battery life?

    Nissan Versa: Common issues?

    I'll echo this statement. Good luck finding a dealer willing to order or find one for you. I worked at a Nissan dealership in sales many years ago and the sales managers had ZERO interest in getting one for a customer. There is little mark-up on base models cars like the Versa and they would...

    Hit 300k miles today

    Does this use a CVT? 300K miles is impressive! Have you had to replace any of the belt driven accessories, alternator, water pump, etc?

    Anyone experienced more MPG by running Exxon Synergy gas?

    What gasoline does Costco use? I've thought that they use whatever gas is the cheapest at the time, which means you could be getting Mobil, Shell, or whichever brand is cheapest for them at the time.
