    Chevy vs. Dodge and why

    Let's hear it. This vehicle would be for the long term. As far as reliability, easy access for drain/fills, etc. which vehicle would be better? This is for the pick up truck line, the equivalent of the 1500's for both.

    Every vehicle have a screen?

    Hello all, do all engines and transmissions contain a screen like Honda's do? I am slightly concerned for the long-term durability and reliability of screens since they seem to be a pain to get to. So, do Ford's, Chevy's, etc. all have screens in the engines and transmissions? Thank you all

    Idemitsu 0w20

    I've heard this full synthetic oil boasts quite a large amount of moly, somewhere around 1000 ppm. Is this a good buy including shipping for 12 quarts at $71? This oil would be replacing my M1 EP when it comes time. Lastly, anyone have a VOA of this oil? Thoughts and opinions please!

    Durability of Honda Differentials

    Per the title, how durable are the AWD diffs? I heard of one going up at 162k miles, and another under 100k. Since I plan to replace mine yearly (12-14k miles) I'm sure I'm fine, but what do you guys do as far as interval changes?

    K24z7 Solenoid Gasket and Catch

    Talking with a friend, he (owned Hondas for years) says that on all but one of his Hondas, he never changed out the solenoid gasket and oil screen due to it getting clogged and therefore causing codes to be thrown. Others have said at the 105k mile chain and tensioner replacement, have it done...
