First time cutting and posting, so forgive the not so great pics, I’m no 53Stude 😎. This Fram had been on our Armada for 18 months, and right at 17k miles 205k-222k. No tears that I could find and the adbv was still very flexible.

Ran this oil in our Armada we acquired this summer from a family member. Had bulk 5W30 most of its life with 5-7k OCIs. Got this oil a few months ago when it was $2/quart at RK. Lead is a little high, thoughts? During this OCI there was about 1k miles of towing. Mostly my 16ft tandem trailer...

*2016* Jeep Renegade in sig (they probably had a hard time reading my hand writing on the slip...). Chrysler 2.4 Multi-Air engine. Roughly 70/30 highway/city. Fairly heavy stop and go during AM commute, but rarely gets short tripped. The oil was in service for 8 months, and I only had to add 1/2...

Hello BITOG. Rented a 2016 Dodge Charger RT with the 5.7 Hemi a few weeks ago. Thought I'd do a short review. Some specs on the car: 5.7 liter V8, 16 valve OHV~370hp, 395 lb/ft torque 8 speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters I believe the curb weight on the RT to be around 4,400...

Would there be anything wrong with trying Mobil 1 10W40 high mileage in an older diesel application? Particularly, a 1997 Ford Powerstroke 7.3 DI turbo. A friend of mine told me that he would give me some of his leftover 5 QT jugs from when he owned a Volvo. I know that the M1 carries an API CF...

I just picked up an eXmark 48" walk behind mower. I believe it's a 2000 model. Anyways, it has a Kawi FC401v 13hp engine on it. I am wanting to change the oil and filter on it. Already did the hydro oil the other day. I only found one filter for it, a K&N KN-128. Are there any alternatives? I've...

Hello, I just picked up a 1997 F250 with the 7.3 diesel. My local tractor supply has the 2.5 gallon jugs of Traveler all fleet 15W40 for $21.99! I figured $2/quart for HDEO is pretty good. What is the opinion on this oil here? I have seen some CI-4 UOAs, but what about the CJ-4 formulation? I'm...

Hello, friends. Quick question for the community here. My friends recently bought a 1989 Suzuki Sidekick with the 1.6 liter engine. Not sure if 8v or 16v. Anyways, 4wd, 5 speed, 2 door soft top. It's a fun little car. The other day I parked it where I work in the garage to keep from having to...

My 1993 Bronco in my sig is giving me a hard time. It's running noticeably rich, idle surges, and it has a noticeable skip or miss sporadically. I've replaced the MAP sensor, TPS, IAC, fuel pressure regulator, and of course new plugs, wires, dizzy cap and rotor. Issue still remains. I'm...

Well, I just picked up a '93 Bronco EB with 247,000 miles on the ticker, and I love it! Did a full tune up on her last weekend, but now I need to replace the fluids this weekend. What oil recommendation would the BITOG community make for me? I do not know the maintenance history of the vehicle...

Hello all. I am going to be swapping out the clutch in my 02 Mustang GT here in a weekend or two (throwout bearing started squealin' like a pig). I figured that while I had it out, I may as well swap the fluid in the tranny. I doubt that it has ever been changed, and it is very notchy. I have...

I recently picked up a 2002 Mustang GT in great shape with 92,xxx miles on it. 4.6 liter SOHC 16 valve engine coupled with a 5 speed manual. I changed the oil the other day, and put in some of the new Pennzoil Ultra 5w20 with an FL-820s filter. I'm curious what other bitog users run in their 2v...

Hey guys my 1997 Ford Thunderbird v8 is misbehaving lately. When I turn the wheels while going slow, such as pulling in the drive way, it feels like the car is going to stall. It feels like it is about to stall when I turn on the a/c when not in motion like at a red light. Today I noticed that...

ok, first of all i must say i love old historic weapons. i am about to turn 21 and i think i want to get my curio and relics license. i am really interested in a Tokarev from J&G sales. do i have to have my C&R to order it or can i get it sent to my local FFL? I am confused thanks guys

1993 Mx-6, what atf should i put in? mercon v? i can't find it anywhere and the car didn't come with a owner's manual.

Noticed this oil today at Tractor Supply. It was SM, and on close out for $3.50 a quart. Is it worth it? has anyone ever heard of it or used it? Anyone know who makes it? Thanks!

1st of all, I must say I love my car. It's a 1997 Ford Thunderbird LX 4.6L SOHC V8. I took it on trip yesterday to Rome, GA and I'm surprised and impressed with my fuel consumption. I went 343.9 miles on 10.886 gallons of fuel. Thats 31.59 MPG. I did not go 55 mph all the way either. I went...

So the other day I changed the oil in my 1997 Thunderbird V8. I had a couple quarts of left over oil I have accumulated over time. My car has a 5 qt capacity so this is what I used: 1qt of Pennzoil Platinum 5w20, 1 qt of QSUD 0w20, 2qts of Formula Shell 5w30, and 1qt of Pennzoil Yellow Bottle...

Anyone with Modular Fords using 0w30 GC? I'm interested in using it in my 97 TBird and in our 02 F-150. They both have the 4.6 V8. I use 5w30 in both vehicles, and was thinking about giving it a try as I can get it from a friend who recently got rid of his Jetta. I wouldn't have ever thought...

I was at Pep Boys tonight, looking to pick up a Purolator oil filter for the Tbird and a buddy's Mach 1 mustang. Usually I'll use the Motorcraft Fl-820s, but with the Purolator rebate I just decided to pick up a pair of classics. I forget the Puro equivalent to the 820s...but there was another...
