I have them on my Mazda for 3 years now, and the tires have 123,000km on them and the treadwear is still good. I am very impressed with Goodyear Tripletred that I bought a set for my BMW. They are very good in wet weather! And cornering response is very good as well. Also they are reliable...

FWIW I have Mobil 1 5w30 Supersyn in my engine for approximately 14k miles now since last June 2006, planning to keep it till Jan 2007... or 6 months... it'll probably have about 20k miles on the oil. Car doesn't burn oil (with 118k miles).. I top off about 1/4 qt. yesterday. Filter is OEM...

New cars have a light that tells you when your oil needs to be changed. Friend of mine bought a 1994, and told me that his car has it. He says that it illuminates then he changes his oil, usually after 9 months of driving, approximately 25,000km... now he's waiting for it to light up, he said...

I called to order a case of 12 of XD-3 0W30. But right before making it final I asked whether it is fully synthetic. Answer was no. Only Mobil 1 0W30 is the pure synthetic that they have, which cost twice the price of the XD-3 0W30. So I hung up. Going to Walmart instead.

ok thanks i ordered front and rear engine mounts, should install once i get them. i'll update here.

Actually when I shift to P and turn off the car on an incline and let go of the brakes, the car moves back a little (1/2 inch?) unless I set the hand brake up then car stays stationary. Plus when I rock the car in P, I see the engine move forward and back but not much. Is this an indication of...

which motor mount? front or rear?

Hi what is the cause of and automatic tranny 1-2 shift clunk/jerk/kick, only happens when i accelerate slowly or when I accelerate then coast to the speed where 1-2 shift occurs.. feels like being rear-ended mildly.. it's very annoying in stop and go traffic where 1-2 shift happens often...

I was just hoping I can save changing oil in the cold, but like most of you suggested, I already got the oil's worth at 7500k miles with M1 5w30 supersyn.

I think this engine is solid. Just a little history, when I first bought the car @ 50k miles, I decided to wash the darn engine, left it overnight. Next morning when I started it, it was shaking violently and engine check light blinking but I still drove it for about 3miles to the shop then it...

Does oil thicken or thin out with long mileage? I always thought oil thins out due to shearing of molecules...hmm..

is 10,000 miles more reasonable?

Car has 98k miles, oil is 4 qrts of Mobil 1 5w30 Supersyn, installed Dec 22, 2005, now has 7500 miles in 3 canadian winter months with average temp 30F. Note that 3000 miles is from straight long driving, 4500 miles is from daily drive. I topped it off, 1/2quart mid Feb. I drive 80% highway...

i have a 87 sentra, with 83k miles, I use 5w30 or 10w30 in Canadian weather no problem.

Oil thickens (viscous) when it is cold. it thins (flows quickly) when hot. additives make oil flow for a wider range of temperature, so 0w30, 5w30, 10w30 or SAE 30 flow the same way @ operating temps SAE 30 will probably not flow @ 0F 10w30 will flow slowly @ 0F 5w30 will flow relatively...

AWD, FWD, RWD....new tires to the rear, old to the front. Keep doing this and you should be golden. reason is, collision.. if you have 100% front impact in a collision, all safety features should work properly... if rear wheels are good condition and they lock, you are more likely to skid...

get it fixed via warranty.

ok guys, i thought M1 should hold up longer? but most of you are suggesting that I dump this oil sooner, what gives? I thought highway driving should be very easy on oil. how will acid form? Car is driven daily. Also how much crap does it take to make the filter bypass? (BTW oil filter is...

no I don't drive 400miles every weekend, but I drove 1500 miles last christmas and 1500 miles on new years. And I will be doing it on spring break, 1500 miles, and easter long weekend 1500 miles. add another 1000 miles going around during those long weekends plus some weekends might be 400...

Car doesn't consume oil. 94k miles. Lots of highway driving, maybe 95% highway, 5% city. Highway speeds 55-75mph, but the city drive is stop and go 10-30mph! Average ambient temp is about 32F, car has 94kmiles now. I drive gently, I use cruise control for highway trips. I don't idle car in the...
