Originally Posted By: ChevyBadger I have a Yamaha Apex. Are the Ski Doos as much of a pain to change the oil like the Yamahas? I use Amsoil 0w40 Powersport in mine. I'm not sure who blends their oil, last I knew Citgo makes Yamahas. I'm sure BRP is whoever the lowest bidder is as well. Looks...

And what is it? No information whatsoever is present on the bottles nor in XPS's website. Manual for my 2016 Grand Touring LE snowmobile with 900 ACE 4 Stroke engine mentions SAE 0W-40 API SM synthetic oil as alternative. Chaincase oil is also a secret... I had the first oil change done at the...

I recently put an order for a lightly equiped Ford Edge SEL AWD with the 3.5l V6. Assembly is in Oshawa, On. According to Wikipedia, the transmission is a version of this combined effort with GM; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM-Ford_6-speed_automatic_transmission I chose the Ford over the...

I just changed the oil/filter on my 2014 Mazda 6 GS after 11682km (7259mi) / 13.5 months. No gas smell and the oil was far from dark. All on 87 octane. Lots of highway and few short drives. Car sits unused for days or weeks so I too think that Mazda Canada recommendations are silly.

2014 Mazda 6 GS Out: Motomaster Formula 1 Synthetic 5W-20 + Mazda filter In: Motomaster Formula 1 Synthetic 5W-20 + Mazda filter My all time record. 11682km/13.5 months OCI. Everything looked great.

The Forte still has a non DI base engine (1.8l) whereas the Rio's 1.6l is DI. But there seems to be issues with the early 2011-13 1.8l. Hopefully, it's been resolved for 2014 as Mrs Minou just picked up a new '15 Forte LX+ with 4K on the hood and 0% over 60 months...

Picked up 4 Bosch 3300 for my '08 Kawasaki Nomad at my local Walmart for $2.50 a piece a couple weeks ago. It appears to be a popular fit for many motorcycles.

http://www.calsci.com/motorcycleinfo/FilterXRef.html According to this website, I somehow stumbled across a quartet of Made in the USA Bosch 3300 Premium Oil Filter for $2.50 a piece at a Walmart near me in Quebec. As for oil, Rotella T 15W-40 will be on sale next week here at Canadian Tire...

I'm getting this '08 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad 1600 from the original owner. It's been serviced at the dealer and has 53000 km on it (33000 mi). Oil used was 10W-40 conventional and synthetic with Kawasaki filter 16097-0008. Would you use any of the Xref filters such as Wix 51358 and Rotella 15W-40...

Congrats on the new car. Better vibes than the long forgotten Vibe...

I had a new house built this summer and asked my brother (35 year certified electrician, been superintendent, QC, etc.) to inspect the electrical subcontractor's work before they closed the walls. He was astonished at what he found. One of the biggest issues was the lack of nail plates in the...

I remember opening a thread here for a small leak after an oil change on my '08 Sonata. I also had the habit of reusing washers. First (and good) advice was to try to tighten the plug a bit more. It worked. I put a new washer at the next OC. These aluminum crush washers do just that, they...
