    Encore syn blend 5/30, 2016 Jeep Renegade, 2.4l, 60k, 5800 mi on OCI

    Oil held up well for our bargain basement 5/30. The owner is a friend of mine since middle school and is notoriously bad with her OCIs. She gets a 4000 mile sticker when she comes in, and yet shes always at least 1500 miles over. Oil looks useable, but really not much of an add pack.

    Valvoline Multi Vehicle replaces ATF +4?

    Searching for trans fluid for my recently acquired 2004 Ram 1500 base, only 40k on it so I know the fluids original. I see in some places people recommend the Multi Vehicle, while others say only +4. Amazon currently has a sale on the Multi vehicle ($4.44 a q), and was wondering if this would be...

    Insurance claim frustrations-Looking for help.

    Getting frustrated with AAA insurance dragging their feet on a claim, and wanted to see if this was normal. In early August, someone blew a stop sign at the intersection my shops at, T-Boned a car that smashed into another car, and the original at fault car crashed into one of my vehicles parked...

    Castrol E-Pods

    Looks interesting and its a very good idea for storing a few different types in a small area, but they are always at the upper end of pricing. Even more money for us wholesalers than Liqui Moly or Mobil. https://mycastrolepods.com/?rdt_cid=2617214804231146112

    Noticeable MPG increase with Sunoco diesel

    If anyone else with a diesel would test this, Id love to know the results. Ive been varying diesel fuels lately trying to find a quality one at a fair price. A sunoco opened not too far from me, and was priced at only 5 cents above the no namers, so I decided to try it in the GL. I went to the...

    https://i.redd.it/coj51pbgvev21.jpg Looks terrible, I wonder how it would've held up for another 2000. Stick to Mann, Mahle, or Hengst for these.

    Would you rent or take your own vehicle?

    Going back and forth in my mind. Maybe you guys can give a different look on it. Weve been going to Virginia every year, renting a house on Smith Mountain Lake. I normally rented a minivan, I loved the caravans with fold flat middle row. The X3 that we had at the time wasnt large enough to fit...

    2007 GL320 CDI-6k on Fuchs 5/40 93k on unit.

    Well I guess the 642 like to throw some iron around. I was wondering if my tune had something to do with the higher numbers, but its not really much worse than whats on the board already. Im going to resample with the M1 0/30 I put in to see any difference, but I doubt it. Well see in a year...

    54 degrees out, washing the cars in January!

    Insane fire near me, Marcal paper factory.

    This was visible from my house miles away. Lit the sky up all night long, very sad to see a historic building go down. Someone reported temps from the highway a few hundred feet away went from 6 to 60 degrees! 8 alarms were called. https://twitter.com/i/status/1090794983735652352

Turn the valve off, lose pilot, turn it back on, immediate pilot. Pilot is baking the flame sensor. OK NBD, ordered the flame sensor to...
