    Anyone tasting a decline in craft beer?

    Our problem is that everybody around here that opens a brewery is IPA centric. Thus it cannibalizes other breweries locally and before you know it most have gone out of business. Then another one opens and it's a repeat process. Combine that with how the taste buds of younger drinkers are...

    PQIA Test Results - AMSOIL SAE 5W-30 Motor Oil

    obviously I much prefer the Sig Series. OE isn't bad, but as stated above you can find more readily available (and comparable) competitors on the shelf for a better price even with the preferred customer discount. Our local owned quick lube place in rural America actually switched to OE as...

    Low mileage project/weekend car winter storage...change oil?

    I’m one of those people that thinks of things this way… oil is cheap. I enjoy changing oil. Therefore I change oil I have a 91 Jaguar XJS. It has 12,000 miles and I drove it off the lot with 12 miles on it. I change the oil twice a year and All fluids (coolant etc) once a year. Am I doing...

    Bye bye Valvoline EP

    i think you quoted the wrong person. I said earlier in the thread (page 6 post 115) that I’m running valvoline ep 0w20, which is far quieter than anything I’ve run except the Amsoil Sig and I have no complaints about the VEP. Edit: this is my 3rd Tundra with the 5.7. If you go look on tundra...

    Is it time? Hitting that 75K mark.

    There’s a whole bunch of testimony on here from folks with good success with HM oils. I’ve got a Jeep that’s a dripper. Maxlife stopped it.

    How easy/hard is it to return used motor oil?

    Our local auto parts stores won’t take anymore because the company that used to take it went out of business.

    Needing tires for my 2005 Tahoe

    If you want something less aggressive check out the Cooper AT3 4S. Wife has them on her escalade and has been really happy. Its a 3PMS rated tire. Good road manners.

    Is BITOG an endangered species?

    No doubt EV's are the future, but until then there's some issues. 1) America's electrical grid needs to be updated/more efficient to handle them. There's currently 15,000,000 cars (roughly) registered in California with only a very small portion being EV's. If CA does get to their goal of 50%...

    Son just picked up a '00 Honda S2000...

    I ran Mobil 1 in mine. Super fun car. It was really before the days of GoPros/dash mounts and right before the iPhone hit, but I'll have to dig up some videos we made with a regular camera set to video mode. Mine ended up getting totaled in Atlanta when a police officer ran a red light. (This...

    Where do you find your info outside of BITOG?

    I use my uncles brothers cousins sisters nephews brother. He told me that he knows a guy that once tore a motor down in 1984 and the engine with pennzoil had sludge so I’m going to go with his expert opinion and run a 20w50 in my 0w20 truck. Actually I look on the back of the container. If it...

    Are you brand loyal?

    Valvoline is my favorite brand. I tend to run Valvoline, M1, or Amsoil (occasionally) in my vehicles. Amsoil on stuff like my tractor, my OPE, and my Polaris Ranger. That takes 5w50. It’s cheaper to buy Amsoil and have it delivered vs driving an hour to pick Polaris oil up
