I've always been a big P1 fan since the late 90's. For the past 6yrs I've been running around in the BMW circles, with cartridge filters. Got out of the cars and now am into a '14 Silverado (my line of work was the reason I switched to a truck). With 7,604 miles and only a few months, I drive A...

Again, my older 5spd manual 530i calls for MTF-LT-2 fluid which according to Redline's chart is a D4 ATF Aka Dex III visc. My newer 335i 6spd manual calls for MTF-LT-3, which according to redline take a D6 ATF Aka Dex VI visc. I use OEM BMW trans fluids. Possible to use the newer thinner LT-3...

Yes, switch from the cheap ATF fluid to the expensive CHF 11S. I have a newer 335i that specs CHF 11s and a daily driver '03 530i that specs "ATF"; aka Dex III. I'm well aware of the Dex VI being newer, and mainly thinner. And some manufactures going to it for p/s fluid. However, I'd like to...

I've gone to Napa, Advance & Autozone. Fail Fail Fail. This oil would meet both my wife's Benz Spec and my BMW spec. Only place I have not checked is wal-mart. Help?

Hey guys, I have a '08 V6 MKZ with about 55k miles. Does anyone know if the 3.5L V6 Ford engine is tough on oil? Factory interval is 7,500 miles. Cars has no oil life meter of any kind. Currently I'm using a Motorcraft oil filter and either the Motorcraft syn blend 5w-20 or M1 0w-20 Fuel Econo...

Ok, looks like the factory fill in my '07 335i is 75w-140 Castrol XJ or whatever. Some european synthetic. Car has 39k and the original fluid. Needs changed out. I'm on the fence weather to go with: A- OEM Castrol 75-140 syn fluid. Gotta buy it from the dealer and bring my own jug. Have no idea...

Ok, just picked up a '07 335i with 39k this weekend. The car has a incline 3.0L 6cyl with twin turbos. The owner's manual says to keep checking bwm.usa for updated oil information and such. I checked it last night. They are pushing "BMW OIL". They list a few other oils, but they are all european...

I didn't realize there was a new GF-5 spec coming out. I just read up on it yesterday. I was at wally world last night and seems like only Pennzoil is putting it on their containers. I ended up getting a jug of 5w-20 YB SM/GF-5 for my Honda. Is Pennzoil just soaking up the advertising, or do the...

Does anyone know the efficiency rating of the Napa premium air filters? I'm looking at either the Napa premium or purolator regular air filter for our cars. The napa premiums look more plush and thicker. The regular purolator is more flat paper like. Purolator has on the box 96.5% efficient. I...

Just realized Pennzoil has a new oil out. What's the latest word on this oil? I'm currently a user of 5w-20 M1 or PP. Both oils have done well. I have two Hondas we own, and plan on keeping them for a while. '07 2.4L Accord 5spd I drive pretty dang hard and a '09 Civic 1.8L the Mrs drives in...

Well after more thought I don't think I'll be running a syn oil in my '07 4cyl Honda. Money is tight as a drum right now and the whole reason I got into a used 40k Honda was econo reasons. But that doesn't mean I don't take good care of my equipment and cars. I've narrowed my choices down to...

Alright guys. After looking at my finances and looking at this from a business perspective (the reason I'm even in a Honda) I need a filter under $5. I can't seem to justify the much higher cost of P1's and Wix's when Honda last 200K+ on Jiffy lube filters and being neglected. I'm following my...

Alright guys, I know this probly has been beat to death, but I never paid any attention to supertech threads, being I never used their stuff. Last night went to wally world for the first time in months and I picked up a 5qt jug of Supertech 5w-30 for $8, for my wife's car. Her car is on 5k OCI's...

Alright guys, I've searched and hounded the net. What I'm trying to do is find a Motorcraft oil filter for my '07 Accord 4cyl. I just don't like any of the off-bat options. The Purolators have the weird model bypass and the tube doesn't go all the way down. The Filtec Honda filter A01 doesn't...

Ok, my wife's car is just not getting the MPG's I think that cracker box should be getting. We've owned it since new, it's a 2006 suzuki Aerio, with 45k now. I've always run a quality dino 5-30 with a purolator or wix filter. I've tried 5-30PP 1x. 5k OCI's. mixed avg driving. She's getting 28mpg...

Something that has been bugging me. how can Wa-mart sell oil, in general, all of the oil, so much cheaper than places like Napa, Advance Auto, car quest etc?? And the 2nd thing is does wal-mart accept used oil? B/c I've been one of these guys that buys it from wally, and dumps it at...

Hey guys. Decided on this car I'll be following the OLM, and using 5-20 PP/M1. OCI's I think will be coming out to approx 8k. Narrowed my filter options down to: A-Napa Gold (wix). Price tag is the issue here. $8.23 for a oil filter? wow. B-Purolator's P1. Used them a lot, never had issues...

Ok, I've put about 2,000 miles on this 2007 Accord I picked up used a few months ago. At first I was really getting nervous b/c the oil level kept going down. But, I removed and cleaned the PCV, and did an oil change with 5-20 M1 & Napa gold. It's held the level perfect, so I'm feeling a lot...

And it's sweet!:) It has the GCV160 Honda engine. I read the book for the engine (by honda) and it states to change the oil after the first 5hrs of use, and after that every 1yr/50hrs. So for me it's 1x yr after the initial 5hr change. They are calling for 10w-30 for general use and SAE 30wt for...

Hey guys, we all seem to be on the page here, so why not ask. I just sold my 12yr old 19" Snapper Hivac walk behind that was very very well used. Best mower I ever had. Looking for a new self propelled walk behind that bags & Mulches, I don't do discharge as I have a smaller yard and live in a...
