Its refreshing to see a new 10w-30. Since it synthetic and has such a small multi-vis spread, it likely has minimal VIIs, perhaps even none, which is great for stability.

I used to own a 1994 VW Passat with the VR6 engine. it was known to run hot on the pil. As a result VW recommmeded in the manual 20w-50 as summer oil and 15w-40 as winter oil, though in Minneosta I ran 10w-40 Valvoline Durablend with ACEA A3 approval and in summer M1 15w-50. ( there were no good...

Clearly a website error of some kind.

You received a lot of good answers here. There are still some 2 cents left to add for me if I may: Even though I am a very expereinced shooter that has shot competitively , these days I rarely practice or sight-in further than 21feet. That is the common, maxmimum, real world engagement...

1) Your understanding is correct 2) A lot of other competitors manifolds are also prone to cracking. Virtually all V8s designed in that timeframe have thinner manifolds as a way to heat up the engine /cat combo quicker for Emissions...

1) The miles are not low but since its a newer vehcile likly highway. Even so, with that many miles you do want to see at least one ATF fluid change record. 2) It is always prudent to do more fequent changes with a CVT than a regualr auto. This is because a regular auto has a clutchpack. In a...

Dont know your exact situation but it may be a while until you feel ready to date again. it was for me. Lost a lot of my remaining dating years that way.

Human beings are very bad at putting nuanced numbers on perceived risk differences, especially when it comes to automotive reliability. (and thats assuming reliability is the only parameter that matters in cars, when obviously its not, or we would all be riding bicycles) Example, a 2015 Brand X...

The V6 CVT did not have failure rates higher than those of normal transmisisons. Did some fail? Sure but so does everybodys elses on occasion. The '17 and up Pathfinders had an even more upgraded CVT beyond the "normal" V6 application during the '17 Facelift. This mid model update included a...

Sir, respectfully disagree: It not was the transmission fluid that did your trans in, but a faulty radiator heat exhcnager leading to mixing of ATF and coolant. All modern cars have this design and it has happend in other brands/models too. Once it happens the trans goes within a day or 2. So if...

It was a risk with mainyl 2005 to 2008 but still a smaller risk with 2009 to 2010. Calsonic had used a new formulation for thier internal heat exchange gaskets that turned out to be weaker. I have purchased vehicles from the f body platform from those years before and its easy to completly...

I have only had truly good jobs for the past decade or so, so my 401k contribution have been short on years but high on monthly dollar contributions. Still total less than a lot of other folks. I will continueto contribute the max thats still employer matched after that no more. Also dont have...

So this is "reportedly". By whom? Quoting some parts supplier rep represented with the same article does not add fidelity. Whther in the future it turns out to be accurate or not, the Lesson boys and girls, is that modern industrisl competion is waged by all means fair and foul. Could be easily...

What is your source? -Folks should not reply in indignation w/o verifying -Plus you folks do own som eof your "Amercian Iron" is made in Mexico right? Would u rather buy a care made in Mexico or Japan? Thought so. - When toyota moves production I would read from folks "Great now this will will...

Where there is a Will there is a Way.

This . we cannot compare poor conditions economy to the other vehicle in normal conditions. Should be apples to apples.

And it was wrong then and it is wrong now. One wrong doesnt make more wrongs ok.

The idea of mandating a private business to have anything is a slippery slope. Which we are already sliding down on. The last thing we need are more "mandates" or other centralized planning economy style Diktats.

The DRLs on my Armada are Purpose desigend DRLs that are LEDs but do not use the headlights but an L shape bezer around them. I never get flashed they are obvious DRLs Some drivers just drive with their highbeams on 24/7 This is usually not malice but ignorance. I once dated a girl when I told...

I like Italian food to include its americanized versions. :)
