    $4.99 in NJ and FL. I assume this is the national price?

    Question about German Castrol

    IIRC Auto Zone is the only store in the US that carries it. From every one I've been to in two states, it is well stocked

    Old Prestone no longer available: Is Lo Tox a safe alternative?

    Thanks for the info everyone. Yeah, I enjoyed using the pre mix for the convenience also. That's what's in the car now. But it appears they first discontinued that and then the "regular" Prestone and replaced them with the "For All Makes and Models" variety. I do know of one place that still...

    Old Prestone no longer available: Is Lo Tox a safe alternative?

    I've noticed the traditional, pure Prestone coolant concentrate in the yellow jug we've all used for years seems to be replaced by the for all makes and models variety. I'm not confident this new forumla is truly safe for my older vehicle (seldom driven '89 Cadillac) in the long run, so I wonder...

    Peak Lifetime Antifreeze

    You may have seen this on TV. Suppose to be for use on any vehicle, just flush and refill with this stuff and forget about it. I wouldn't be surprised if many of us are highly skeptical of a coolant's ability to be compatible with any cooling system and,particularly, last indefinitely. For...

    Audi 1.8T: Should I stop using GC?

    Curtis, That may very well be. Seems like some folks are having hit or miss luck when shopping AutoZone for GC.

    Audi 1.8T: Should I stop using GC?

    Quattro Pete, Ah ha! That it is. In fact, I'll do just that! He he, watch their eyes bulge as I pull in a gigantic sack full of GC bottles into their office, one from every oil change, if they give me a problem some day down the road (j/k) Wonder why the GC didn't appear on the list? Maybe...

    Audi 1.8T: Should I stop using GC?

    My pleasure! It's the least I can do in return for the helpful guidance I've received from all of you Oil Gurus So, the general consensus as of now, the German 0w-30 is still ok?

    Audi 1.8T: Should I stop using GC?

    Hi, I'm sure you fellow Audi 1.8 T owner got that packet from AOA stating it will extend oil sludge related repairs to 8 years from date of delivery regardless of mileage. It even discusses VW approved oil at length and provided a list of Audi approved oils. I was quite concered GC 0w-30...

    Hmmm..still not sure if ARX is appropriate for my Sunday driver that sees maybe 300 miles a year, nevertheless, let me ask this about brand new cars: How early mileage wise can one start using ARX?

    ARX worthwhile in rarely driven cars?

    Davo, Thanks for the link but something tells me I probably won't find that particular oil here. I noticed it is 15w-40, as I'm still in the brand new stages of learning about oil, is 15w-40 ok for engine that calls for 10w-30? If it is beneficial for a car like mine with high mileage and...

    EZ Lug : Is it worth it?

    I heard about this product a while ago but this is the first time i saw it. Sure seems like a hassle saver. Does anyone have an EZ Lug and does it really work well? http://www.browsermall.com/ezlug/

    ARX worthwhile in rarely driven cars?

    this now leads me to beleive if I should switch to another type of oil. My Sunday driver is an '89 Cadillac Deville 4.5 L with 122,6xx miles. I've been using Castrol GTX 10w-30 regularly. Maybe a switch over during oil change next fall along with ARX will be most corrosion preventative?

    ARX worthwhile in rarely driven cars?

    Wow, that sounds like a very remarkble car both rarity and mileage wise! If that ARX regimen seems to be the way to go, maybe I ought to give it a try. I changed my oil about 3 months ago, maybe now's too late to add a full bottle? At any rate, I guess i ought to give it a shot during next...

    Hey Novadude, I'm glad someone else has the same question, I was sorta feeling awkward about posting this ? about the little driving a year thing.

    ARX worthwhile in rarely driven cars?

    Was just wondering if using Auto Rx in rarely driven cars, garage queen classic types for example, is worthwhile. If I had to come up with a mileage driven per year, I would say 300-500 tops. If so, would it create any benefit with a yearly oil change? If I understand this product correctly, it...

    Does GC really exist?

    Hey! I just picked up my first batch of GC, as a matter of fact, my first ever batch of synthetic oil! I just went to AutoZone and every Castrol Syntec 0w-30 they had were all GC! I noticed all those claims on that bottle in that photo are now absent from the most current packaging but my...
