2009 Chevy Impala 51,500...about 4500 on the oil. 5.5 months time Out: Pennzoil conventional Jiffy Lube bulk 5w30 w/ Mileguard filter In: Castrol GTX 5w30 w/ AC Delco filter

I have some type of Nexens on the wife's Impala. They were on there when we bought it, they've been decent tires in the 10 months we've had the car. Tiny bit of road noise above 50mph, but nothing crazy.

401k, quite the milestone! How many 4T65E's has it gone through? Haha

Here's our two. First is my main car, a 2000 Buick Regal GS. 5th owner, and have owned since May of 2011. Had 107k when I bought it, now it's pushing 180k on the original drivetrain. Slowly beginning to have factory parts fail in the suspension, so I'll be doing those as the money/time allows...

I've been on both sides of the nice/truth and play dumb/lie window here. My very first time I was pulled over, was in the middle of a construction zone on a 45mph main city road. The zone started at a red light, and the state trooper was sitting on the side of my lane facing away from me, and I...

Even with the religious use of spray and liquid wax, you'd be surprised with what a clay bar can pick up. I do it every time I wax because my car sits outside under trees at night, and in a gravel dusty parking lot every day.

Originally Posted By: Merkava_4 I think it is. My Buick 3800 has 5 holes on the dipstick between the ADD line and the FULL line. The other day, only 4 holes were covered up with oil. So mathematically, I'd have to add 6.4 ounces to get the 5th hole covered up. The heck with that, in a another...

Dang. Ah well, overall I'm happy I decided to keep my car instead!

Nice score, hopefully it'll last you for a while! This thread makes me regret dumping my wife's 02 SL1. Last summer it had developed some type of chugging/low rpm surging that happened every so often, and the trans was starting to get a slight attitude(still performed great) so we started...

An interesting read! I can't remember the last time I even saw a Cavalier of that generation up here, let alone one that nice. I never noticed that they could come without a passenger side mirror in '93 as well. Gotta love us Northerners and our fascination for rust free southern cars! I...

Cool little truck, that should do him very well.

I baby my car a little too much for fuel economy, so I probably don't let it stretch it's legs too much. I say a couple times a week I'll let her loose and let that Eaton whine

2000 Regal GS, 177000 miles Out: Castrol GTX HM 10w30 & Napa Gold extended filter In: Same

Originally Posted By: aquariuscsm If Castrol comes out with it in 10W40 I'll definitely give it a try. I highly doubt it. 10w40 is old news!

Nice truck, you never see a 6.0 with a 5 speed!

Hmm..let's see. For the Regal..Struts+mounts at all 4 corners, passenger side LCA,axle, and outer tie rod end, front brakes, and a few minor nick nack things like get the odometer to light up again as well as fix a few rattles. Impala..nothing other than an oil change and a detail...
