I stick to OEM for my air filter but my dealership has not had them lately, they've been on backorder for the past month. What's the go to alternative on the forum? Something I can get locally.

I'm going to do an oil change here soon on my wife's 2017 CR-V 1.5L Turbo. I've used Fram Ultra's for a majority of the changes but looking to try something else for a change and fun. Something that might get similar respect on the forum. I was thinking maybe the PurolatorBOSS or the Fram...

I come and go on this forum, mostly reading but I do like to hear opinions on my next oil purchase. I will admit that I am an oil snob and like to use the boutique oils, even though I'm changing oil at approximately 7k miles per the oil reminder. I'm also a water and coffee snob, according to...

I have the dreaded 2017 CR-V 1.5 turbo engine, but live in the Arizona heat so think I avoid the major issues. *knocks on wood* Also, read somewhere that it was recommended to run a 30 weight oil, use 91 octane, and change the engine air filter every 10k miles to fight the dilution.....so been...

I recently switched both my vehicles on over to Amsoil 0W-30 and loving it. Both vehicles drive beautifully and its a noticeable difference from what each vehicle specs. Needless to say, won't be going back to the thinner oil. My question now though, what is the difference between 0W and 5W...

I'm an enthusiastic reader of the forum, rarely post, but I love the information I learn. I have a dilemma and wanted to run it by the forum. I have two vehicles and want to buy just one oil, if possible. Location: Phoenix, AZ so its hot and its dusty (especially during monsoon season)...

I went to Autozone and Wally this weekend and didn't seen any Dexos1 Gen 2 oils in 0W-20. Has anyone seen these yet? I know I can get RP via Amazon, they told me they didn't change there oil to meet the Gen 2 specs. V

Long story short, bought a case of Schaeffer 0W-20 oil that I don't really want to use anymore and I've already used 4 quarts of it, so can't return it. I want to start using a dexos1 gen 2 oil in my CR-V, protect against LSPI. It takes 3.7 quarts per change, and was wondering if I could use 3...

I change the oil in both my vehicles and I always debate if I should stick to OEM filters or not. I prefer to err on the side of caution, it's why I run full synthetic oil, so if there is a better filter out there, I'd jump on it. I keep seeing the FRAM Ultra mentioned, but been hesitant with...

I'm a constant visitor here, but rarely post. My knowledge of oils is greatly surpassed by many here, so I just read. Anyway, my screen name says Elantra and that vehicle was totaled, so wife and I bought a 2017 CR-V EX, the new 1.5L turbo engine. My concern is the the LSPI, been reading a lot...

I'm slowly taking over the maintenance on my wife and I's new car, 2013 Elantra. I was looking at the services and one of them is "add fuel additive". From researching, this just sounds like a basic fuel additive they add every 7500 miles. If anyone knows which one the dealership uses, then...

My wife and I purchased a 2013 Elantra not to long ago and it has had two oil changes thus far from the dealership. I'm usually a guy that likes to do maintenance I can handle on my own and want to start taking over the oil changes on the new car. I've always been a fan of synthetic oil and have...
