    Goodyear “Performance Max” Full Synthetic Motor Oil

    I do appreciate all of this insight. I am not a cheap person (but do appreciate value and a competitive market), and I am meticulous with my cars. That is why I came here to ask about this oil. I have no problem investing $25 (Supertech syn. and ST syn. oil filter) every 5,000 miles for my cars...

    Goodyear “Performance Max” Full Synthetic Motor Oil

    It w It would go into a 3.6L Pentastar and a 1.4L Turbo VW. Both of those engines have always had Supertech Synthetic oil. I change the VW 1.4L Turbo every 5,000 miles as it is turbo charged and direct injection. Beats up the oil bad. The 3.6L Pentastar is easy on oil, but it is so easy to...

    Goodyear “Performance Max” Full Synthetic Motor Oil

    I actually got it for free, several cases of 5 quart jugs. I am pretty anal about my vehicles, thats why I came here regarding this oil - as I have never heard of it. It wouldn’t truly be free if there was a price to pay in the end.

    Goodyear “Performance Max” Full Synthetic Motor Oil

    Good evening, I recently came into possession of 90 quarts of Goodyear Performance Max motor oil, the full synthetic variation. For years I used Mobil 1, and for something like the past decade I have used Supertech synthetic (and their MP line of oil filters). I searched far and wide in order...

    New Subaru OCI Manual vs. Dealer

    Thanks for all the opinions and help, and thanks for the well wishes. I think I will split the difference and drain it at 3,000 miles. From that point on I am comfortable with 6,000. I am a fan of extended drain intervals but until I learn the consumption characteristics of the 2.0L boxer...

    New Subaru OCI Manual vs. Dealer

    Thank you! I am very satisfied thus far. It is a hard car to beat in the under 20k new car segment. It is my first Subaru, as I have always owned Toyotas. It is quite quiet, handles nice and tight, I am pleased with the build quality. No buyers remorse with this one! Originally Posted By...

    Sounds like 3,000 mile OCI cannot hurt. I will stick to it. Then I am going to the 6k interval. Thank you.

    New Subaru OCI Manual vs. Dealer

    I just purchased a new 2018 Subaru Impreza, my first new car in a long time. I see that the OCI for the 2.0 Boxer engine is 6,000 miles or 6 months on their synthetic oil (as per service schedule). My dealer informed me that I needed to change the oil at 3,000 miles for the first time, and gave...

    Toyota Transfer Gear Oil 75W VOA

    First time I am every hearing this. Which transfer case are we referring to, because most FSM for vintage Toyota trucks call for plain old 75w90 or 80w90 gear oil GL4 OR GL5, which to me says anything really.

    GL5 MT1 in an Older Transmission

    Thank you for the link, did not realize this is currently being discussed. Seems to be two camps here, which is why I came here in the first place. If only GL4 gear oil was cheap like GL5, and not becoming exclusive to specialty brands that want $20 a quart. I do not want to support such a...

    School me for a minute on Gear Oil GL4/GL5

    Whoa, this is making my head spin. There seems to be two camps here. I would love to just play it safe and go with a GL4 oil, but these GL4 oils are usually overpriced as specialty brands, Redline, Royal Purple, etc. I suppose that $60 or $80 to change manual tranny fluid with GL4 RP or RL is...

    First Truck that Runs HOAT Coolant...

    Thanks for all the info. It's funny that Mopar dyes their HOAT pink, which is rather close in color to GM's dexcool. Thats confusing for a consumer who does not know any better! I always knew that color never played a role in the chemical make-up of coolant, but I honestly think it should...

    First Truck that Runs HOAT Coolant...

    Ok guys, good to know I can do a partial drain and refill from now on. The only reason I wanted a full flush was because of the extended run I did on the initial coolant. Plus, who wants to mix dye colors? Ok, from now on I will stick with radiator drains.

    First Truck that Runs HOAT Coolant...

    Ive had a 06 Dodge truck since it was new, and I had my first complete flush and refill of the system at my trusted local mechanic. The truck was still running the original pink dyed HOAT mopar coolant @ 61k miles and 6.5 years. I know, I know, I am LATE changing it. They flushed the system...

    Power steering rack problem and advice...

    I have a pickup truck that keeps going through power steering racks. The truck is an 06 ddoge dakota with 60,000 miles on it. Throughout it's life it has had 2 power steering racks replaced due to a leak at the inner tie rod end seal. The third and current rack has just developed the same issue...
