    Spearhead Oder eliminator Filter...It effectively removes all of those farm smells on hot days here in Iowa. Highway road Kill, skunks and old animal carcasses on the roadside too. Great filter!!

    Oil for Rav 4

    I wouldn't do 10,000 mile oil changes on any vehicle that does city driving. Maybe with highway miles I would. City miles are hard miles.

    Blackstone Prices

    I switched over to OAI and buy the pre-paid UPS sample kits from Amsoil for $32 as a PC. Check in with Pablo if you need more info. My recent sample had a 7 day turn around time shipping UPS from Iowa. Impressive service.

    Done with Blackstone

    My last Blackstone analysis took 32 days, I even sent it to Fort Wayne UPS 2nd day Air. So I made the switch to Amsoil's Oil Analysers at their Indy location. One week turn around time. Of course I'm done with Blackstone. I wonder if they are any better at aircraft engine analysis?

    What mineral oil should i use during break-in process?

    Use what your Manual tells you to use. You dont have an American Manufactured Diesel. Diesels are engines that require a more detailed knowledge base than Gas Engines, People think they are cheaper to operate than gas engines, they are not, and require a lot of care. So only use what the manual...

    Trying to decide between Michelin Defender 2 or Yokohama Avid Ascend GT

    If you want a tire that has an 80,000 mile warrantee, know that some things will be sacrificed with that hard rubber compound. I tend not to pay to much attention to Tire Rack track evaluations, and scrutinize customer ratings. The number of reviews on a specific tire and the number of people...

    Rental Review: 2023 Mazda CX5 Premium Plus 2.5L

    I must say Sport mode is pretty un impressive. It behaves like tow-haul mode on a pickup truck. Check out the Mazda CX-50 if you want to do some off roading. Its Mazda's attempt to move into that market segment, kind of silly and unsuccessful I think.

    Rental Review: 2023 Mazda CX5 Premium Plus 2.5L

    We love our 23 CX-5!!! Same color as your rental. I disagree about the power. We have no turbo and have driven it through the mountains out west with no issues. Keep it simple with the Skyactive system. Its an incredible motor as is. Put it in sport mode if you want to play.
