Have a H-rated set on a '03 CR-V with 20K miles so far and there was certainly a MPG hit that hasn't fully gone away. However, the tires have great grip due to the rubber having a bit more flex than comparable tires. I'll gladly trade sure footing for a small loss in MPG.

M1 made our '03 CR-V the quietest it has ever been.

Based on a chat with one of their reps, the Arizonian line is made by Cooper for DT/AT.

Castrol Import ATF. Easily acquired on Amazon.

Vehicle is a 2003 CR-V. All I've ever heard about Hondas are to use OEM fluid, be it Z-1/DW-1 for the transmission or the specific power steering fluid. Since the power steering fluid on a Honda is an entirely different beast than regular ATF or PSF, I did a turkey baster drain and replaced the...

Did a drain and fill with Castrol on an '03 CR-V and it shifts better than before.

2003 Honda CR-V (146,000 miles on odo) drain and fill Out: 3.6 qts of unknown (likely Z-1/DW-1) In: 3.6 qts of Castrol IMV (Import Multi-Vehicle) Transmission doesn't feel as lazy, shifts are strong and smooth.

These TDIs can take quite some time for the break-in to occur; I've seen it go as long as 60,000 or more. Stick with a VW507 oil and drop back to 10K OCI.

I'd stick with the Euro L on 10K changes for now. It's shear stable and TBN retention is strong (must be all the long drives!). I don't believe aluminum tracks with mileage so their suggestion of upping to 12K miles might not be a bad idea given the condition of the oil. Maybe try Mobil 1 ESP...

Cooper CS5 Grand Touring.

Have run these on GF's CR-V. Great tire, especially for the price.

I have not had personal experience but I have heard the same thing that it's a America's/Discount Tire exclusive version of the TrueContact. The tread design is very similar and both carry the 90,000 mileage warranty with LRR.

If you can wait a couple days, America's/Discount Tire is likely running in-store sales. Their July 4th sale is usually loaded with rebates on top of manufacturer ones.
