    Spring Oil Change - 2012 Challenger R/T 5.7L Hemi

    Looking to change the oil in a few weeks on my 2012 Dodge Challenger R/T with the 5.7L Hemi. It is a 6-speed manual so it does NOT have MDS. Has about 5,000 miles on it, and one oil change at 3,500 miles with regular Pennzoil yellow bottle at dealership. You can pretty much guess what's...

    Selling your favorite car....and regretting it...

    I was watching Barrett-Jackson this weekend. A certain black 1971 340 'Cuda brought some memories back of my car that I foolishly sold. So I penned a few words about it...

    Adding a Quart of GC to 10w30 Edge Okay?

    Hello - My 5.2L Jeep Grand Cherokee sporting 170.8k on the odometer has about 2500 miles on 10w30 Edge. It is down about half a quart or so...I think it's probably oozed out that 1/2 quart over the last three months, not burning anything. I have a 3/4 full year old bottle of 0w30 German...

    Castrol Syntec or Castrol Edge for Higher Mileage?

    Trying to decide on a winter oil for my 95 Grand Cherokee with a 318 - yes, that's right...I am not going to call it a 5.2L. Has 168,000 miles, knocked down 18mpg on a highway venture this weekend, and carries 45-60psi of oil pressure. Has a few leaks, but one run of Maxlife Blend helped seal...

    For those who think 0w30 is too thin....

    I just looked at a bottle of 0w30 German Castrol in my garage, and it IS NOT rated as Energy Conserving! I had no idea. I might just use this my Grand Cherokee as winter oil; cold weather flow and near 40wt performance once it comes to operating temperature.

    Larger Capacity Oil Filter for 2002 Pathfinder?

    Getting ready to do an oil change on a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder with a 3.5L V-6. Picked up a $5.00 jug (w. rebate) of 5w30 Pennzoil Platinum last night. After looking at the oil filter for it, it's is about the size of a Gerber baby food jar. Is there anything larger or a preferred brand for...

    5.2L 318 in Grand Cherokee Looks Sludgeified

    Performing the first oil change in my beloved 165,000 mile Grand Cherokee the other day. Upon removal of the oil cap and shinning a twisty light down in there, there is some deffinate gumming up that was visible. Nothing terminal, but caused me some concern. I changed the oil from Quaker State...

    Valvoline Max Life SynPower For 5.2L Jeep??

    I found a whole bunch of this (10w30)in 5qt jugs at W-Mart the other night for 21.00 - before the dreaded price increase to $22.50. I also picked up a jug of the Max Life Blend (10w30) for $14.00. Which one should I use for my next oil change? I recently picked up a 164,000 mile Jeep Grand...
