2019 Jeep Cherokee 2.4 tiger shark is using 2 quarts of 0w-20 Pennzoil Platinum at 7000 mile oil change intervals. Anybody else experiencing similar consumption from this engine? Manual calls for 0w-20 synthetic.

We purchased this last week and I’d like to share a few thoughts. 9 speed tranny coupled with the 2.4 tiger shark has plenty of power for me and the wife. No it’s not a 5.7 Hemi, but if you want decent acceleration and 27 mpg avg. fuel economy then it’s fine by us. The engine and tranny were not...

2013 Ford Escape, 67000 miles 1.6 ecoboost. I have replaced both rear wheel speed sensors about a year apart. After the last replacement the hill assist and traction control warning lights will not clear. The last ford dealer said the speed sensor was bad after the 100 dollar scan. Had my local...

My daughter has a 03 Dodge Stratus with the 2.4 liter motor and I believe four speed automatic. Check engine light came on and I found P 0108 by turning the ignition on and off quickly several times. The code is related to the transmission. I know it is not a internal mechanical issue. If I...

My daughter picked up a 03 with the Dohc 2.4 four cylinder. 184,000 plus, motors runs well and automatic transmission shifts well. She had a loaded strut put on the front and new rotors and pads all around. Heater control was shot, installed new one and now works perfect. Body is in good...

Pennzoil conventional has a VI of 150 vs. Motorcraft Syn. Blend of 164. This according to latest PDS. Given a higher VI would have flow better over a range of temperatures, what advantage does Motorcraft have over Pennzoil, if any. I believe Pennzoil is group 11+ am MC is group 11+ and group 3...

Hydrostatic drive 14.5 Hp 42" deck. Engine runs strong. Briggs. Any thoughts on this vintage tractor?

Subject vehicle is a 2012 Toyota Tacoma with the 2.7 inline four cylinder. Just turned 40k and the oil history has been all AFE 0w-20 at 5k intervals. I run mostly highway miles with some use of the four wheel drive. Is there any benefit to using the tgmo 0w-20 motor oil? Obviously that oil has...

02 Bucik Rendzvous AWD with 189000 miles on the clock I have a constant thump, thump, that sounds like it is coming from one of the rear wheel bearings. The sound will reduce when the body rolls a bit in turns. Has become worse in the last month. I believe it to possibly be a wheel bearing but...

Just paid 500 dollars for a 97 Impreza AWD with the 1.6 L Boxer engine. Motor has 155,000 on the clock. It sounds good with no blow by from the oil fill. Body is a bit rough with dents and dings from 17 years of use New rotors and timing belt. For the money I think it will make a heck of a work...

I have a 02 Buick Rendezvous with almost 169K on the clock. I purchased it at 160k, it is the AWD vers-trak with the 3.4 v-6. The ATF is a slight brown color. It does not smell burnt but I have no idea how long it has been in use. Prior fluid would have been Dexron 3 I would assume. No prior...

About to turn to 137,000 miles with 6,000 miles on current fill of Hydrtoex 5w-20 synthetic oil. The motor has used 3/4 quart over this span. A half quart was normal at 4k with quaker state green bottle. I was wanting to run 9k on current fill but have reservations a Uoa will be squed with the...

Out of the blue one day the car acted like it was running on 5 cylinders when under acceleration or when cold at idle. When it warms a bit is still hesitates especially in overdrive when you are cruising along at 65 and go to accelerate and the 5 cylinder feel comes back. I found a cracked pcv...

I need a new front left hub bearing on my 03 Buick Rendezvous. There are several on Ebay at much lower prices than I can get at a parts store or through a mechanic. Any drawbacks to these discount parts besides a no name brand?

Oil and fuel additive. Really will break up hard deposits and clean ring packs. Heck of a fuel conditioner also.

Long story short my 03 Taurus transmission just died on the way home from work one evening. Torque convertor splines and pump shaft took a dump. Did not happen in a very safe place also. I had a used tc and transmission put in that is all the warranty would pay for. It was a 03 with 85 thousand...

Manufactures recommend 10w-30 for ohv engine push mower engine. Could not find any HDEO in that weight so just went with Nextgen. Probably have 15 hours on the oil. No oil consumption under some hot weather conditions but the oil has turned a amber color and when I check the oil before each...

I am thinking about buying a 06 Charger 3.5 HO with 96,000 miles. The body is rust free which is good for Michigan and the interior is like new. The dealer told me today they turned the rotors and replaced a inner tie rod. Ball joints they said looked good. My concerns are with future ball joint...

Car is 2001 Sunfire with the 2.2 ohv engine. Current oci is the SN version of Mobil Super. The interval was February till late July. The oil saw some cold Michigan temperatures and part of a very hot summer. The water pump was replaced due to a leaking seal. The water temperature maxed a few...

I drained and put in new Valvoline Dex-Merc today. The pan had a slight diry look in a few spots and upon cleaning the area it turned out to be real nasty sludge. I was only a few spots but it took several rags to get the pan clean. The magnet had a film of sludge also. I changed the fluid a...
