Pri-G

Pri-G is a gasoline preservative called "Pri-G". Many boat/motor-home places carry it, though I ordered my last quart (treats 512 gallons!) via the internet. Dave

Pri-G specifically calls out ethanol too. Dave

I've had far better luck with Pri-G than I did with Sta-Bil. Dave

+1 on Sta-bil not doing what it's advertised to do. I've been using Pri-G and have been happy ever since (not saying it's better than AST, just that it's better than Sta-bil). Dave

Doesn't this board's beloved MMO also contain chlorinated compounds? Dave

You can double your available choices with a cheap 'adapter'. See my old post on how I'm using filters with a 3/4x16 thread on my M20x1.5 threaded car. If you've got room and the gasket seals, you could run something as large as the M1-301. Dave

I assume OP means some of that gold gritty stuff is on the inside?

A bad spark plug leading to unburned fuel pushed through exhaust. This can get the cat white hot. Dave

I've had it in my '02 Outback sedan for about the past 50k miles (110k on it now). Shifts are smooth as new. I get 4qts when I drain (it holds 10), so I change 4 every 15k miles, and changed the filter @ 60k. I cross referenced the OEM trans filter to a regular oil filter, Amsoil of course would...

2010 Subaru Legacy is NOTICEABLY larger than 2009 and previous. We've got one, it's our 6th Sube. The biggest difference in size appears to be headroom (both our Subaru sedan's have sunroofs, but the 2010 still gives more headroom) and back seat legroom. Dave

We actually just picked up another one today, a '10 Legacy GT If only they made 3/4 ton trucks! I bought my first one (a Justy) in '89, and except for the truck in my sig, haven't bought anything else since. Now we just need to pare down the fleet and get rid of the '97.

I replace ours every 30,000 miles, as recommended in the owners manual.

My truck takes 12 quarts, that's um.., oh, yeah, 3 gallons. Also, on most big rigs, the amount required to bring a dipstick reading from 'add' to 'full' is one gallon. Dave

Just for more kudos to Johnson Controls, the OEM battery in our 2002 Outback (purchased new in August of 2001) is a JC battery (says so right on the top). Notice I said 'is', not 'was'. It's still in there. Car is a 3.0L six, with 10.7:1 compression. Has heated seats, mirrors, and lower...

According to Wix, different oil filters have widely differing beta ratios. Granted, those may be achieved under different conditions, but given the variances, it seems to indicate the media is different also. However, most (all?) here, myself included, have been under the impression that other...

I use a Napa Gold 1365 on the two automatic Subies in our family fleet. One has 109,000 miles, the other has 146,000 miles. Both shift like they did when they were new. Dave
