    Goodyear Wrangle Authority Wal-Mart Black Friday sale

    Was thinking of these for my 2019 F-150. Wouldn't be my first choice of tread patterns but the price is almost half of others. Has anyone used the Goodyear Wrangle Authority A/T? They look like they will be loud, but who knows. My OEM Michelins with 39K miles are at the point where I would drive...

    Bad Motorcraft Plug?

    My son is driving my old 97 F-150 5.4L with about 200K at college. Lately the original coils are starting to go.

    Mobil 1 0W20 EP, 10732 miles, 2006 Ford Focus

    This is my follow up to my 1st UOA on this Focus : Blackstone Comments: Your engine handled this longer oil run with ease. Wear metals are largely unchanged since last time, and 5 ppm copper isn't a problem (4 ppm is average for these engines). The TBN was strong, showing active additive left...

    Valvoline SynPower price...

    I was at Wal-Mart and noticed the price of the 5 qt SynPower jugs went up to $22.50, now higher than M1. Seems like an odd time to be raising prices with oil lower than before. I wonder if this a Wal-Mart or Valvoline increase?

    My dad just bought an older Toyota Tercel 4 cylinder. He said that it starting making some noise so he checked the oil. The valve covers were full of oil like it wouldn't drain back into the pan.
