I have a 2002 Altima(2.5L 4 cylinder) with 118,000 miles. I also have a 2002 VW GTI 1.8Turbo, that this oil is perfect for. I am able to get this oil through the shop that I work at for a very good price. It would be easier to use 1 oil for 2 cars. I was thinking the high mileage altima would...

I have been doing alignments for about 2 months now. I am new to this. I did an alignment today with a Launch x631. Before doing the alignment I did a sensor test via the computer. The computer informed me that the sensors will not give me an accurate camber reading, and needs to be serviced...
