Well. I feel like a schmuck starting this because I'm sure what I'm asking is available somewhere but please know I have spent quite a while on this forum, RamForums, and the google machine trying to find a satisfactory answer. I have a 19' Ram Classic with the 5.7 I run PUP 5W20 and a bottle...

I was combing through the owners manual and found some discrepancy. There's a ton of baggage around 5w20/30 affecting the way the MDS system works and I've even been told that it'll throw a code if it senses an oil outside 20wt parameters as the oil pressure is used to run the valve shutoff for...

Just got the old lady a 2012 Subaru Outback and I'm having a tough time finding a tire that fits the bill for us. She has a 140 mile commute 4 days a week that's 1/3 interstate and 2/3 hilly and curvy state highways. We have lots of dirt/gravel roads so I'm looking for something that'd have...

So I finally bit the bullet and wound up getting the old lady a new car to replace her soup ca-- I mean Dodge Caliber. Got a 1-owner 2012 Subaru Outback 2.5i with 165k miles on it. The Carfax was extensive and thorough with dealership service its whole life and about a year ago it had the head...

Cut open an XG10575 today. 2 layers, a very thin, soft, almost like felt-like cellulose or maybe even cotton outer layer with a paper back layer. No 2-layer fiberglass. No wire backing. I'm running an XG2 right now, and feel the need to cut one of those open to make sure. I feel betrayed here...

So I have a 2019 Ram Classic with the 5.7 Hemi. The Fram XG 10060 is what's listed as the reccomend part # however I'd feel better having a larger filter as the 10p60 is quite small. The 10575 has the same thread and gasket size. On Fram's website, the only discernable difference is that they...

So I'll be doing my first oil change on my 2019 Ram 1500 Classic with the 5.7 next month. I know that the Fram Ultra has a higher micron rating but it's my understanding that its slightly more restrictive in Gpm vs the standard wix. I live in NH so over the winter the filter will have to...

Looking into what tires I will be getting for my vehicle this Winter. I have a 2019 Dodge ram Classic 1500 4x4. The last 2 seasons in my Tacoma I was on Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT2's And was quite happy for the most part with my only complaint being ice. For the Dodge what are your guys'...

Best choice for severe service on a 2019 5.7. It's a daily driver but being in the fire department I'm often cold starting and working it hard (up to 80mph within 3 minutes of start) for responding for the FD. Motor calls for 5w20, I live in NH so cold winters will be a factor

What are the pros and cons of running a 10 ply over a 4 ply tire. Vehicle is a 2017 tacoma (see signature). Got a set of nokian haka lt2's And see that they are 10 ply. How will it affect traction and steering? Ride quality is a secondary concern to me

Anyone have experience with Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT2 tires. Picked up a non-studded set at a local shop for 475 out the door, size is 245/75r16, will be used on the vehicle in my signature

2017 tacoma, 8500 miles with M1 AP 0w20, fram ultra back in with M1 AFE

I'm looking for a good set of snow tires for my 17 tacoma, Ive narrowed down my selection to Firestone winterforce UV's or Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2's. Tires will NOT be studded. Just looking for some compare and contrast between the two, any reviews if yall got em Thanks

I understand PP is a good oil but is it capable of an extended OCI? (Next OCI will be 10, aiming for 10-15 following UOA)I've never seen it advertised as an extended OCI oil. Vehicle will be truckbin signature

My 17' Tacoma (V6 2GR-FKS) calls for premium (91 octane minimum reccomended) and my OCD irks me to keep one brand of fuel in my vehicles. The 2 most high-flow fuel stations are a mobil and shell place. Price is never more than 2 cents difference. I BELIEVE that both shell and mobil gas are TTDG...

I know dextron is their ATF. but I don't know what kind of fluid is used in Manual Transmission fluid. pardon my ignorance, this is the first time ill ever be touching a transmission and I cant find any data online as to what kind...

What oils that are currently available in 5w30 or 10w30 flavor have the highest ZDDP content? I'm going to be doing a big service (spark plugs, coolant, manual transmission fluid, oil change, clutch change, rear diff fluid, fuel filter) on my Camaro (89' with 6x,000mi 2.8l V6) and I believe that...

The 2 big brands in my area are both listed on the TTDG website however, only the Citgo stations post a Top Tier logo on the pumps? Are the brands on the Top Tier website held to being up to the TTDG standard even if they dont post the logo on the pumps?
