I'm no viscosity expert. What the difference between 0w40 and 5w40? I'll save some one the trouble of the easy answer… One is 0w and the other is 5w. I have a VW Jetta that takes the 5w40, but I am finding it tougher to find over the last year. No WM carries it around here. Last time I went to...

Hello all. Hopefully some of you can ease my concerns. So, here's the deal. I have an 07 Jetta. It calls for Synthetic 5w40. Yesterday I went to do an oil change. I went to my local Advance Auto and they had absolutely no 5w40. Next was Salvo, but what they had was so expensive. I need 6.5...

I went to WM for the first time today to look at the oil selection. I liked the prices and the selection was huge. I also loved the 5QT jugs. My only problem was they did not have any 5W 40. Does WM carry this weight? Maybe I just need to check a different one? Has anyone seen 5W 40 at any...

Two retired guys were playing a round of golf. They made it to the 9th hole, which happened to run alongside a rural road. One of the guys was about to tee off when a funeral cortege came into view on the adjacent road. He put down his driver, removed his cap, held it over his heart, and stood...

I'll admit, I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to weights of oil. My Jetta calls for 5w 40 and it can also use 5w 30. Would it be better to use the 30? Would there be any advantages? Would there be any disadvantages? Would the engine even notice the difference? I guess the...

So, there's been a few threads on TB service and it got me thinking. Do any of you let this factor in when you purchase a car, whether it be a new or used vehicle? On most of the cars I've had, I always find out when the service is due before I purchase. Especially on used cars. I'd hate to...

How often do you change them? I was just looking over the Advance Auto Parts ad and they have a good deal on blades. In the ad it says to change them every six months. Do people do them that often? I still have the originals on my vehicle. It's just about three years old. They seem to work as...

Quick question about the oil grade for my vehicle. More specifically, why? My Jetta calls for 5w40. I get the difference between the first and second numbers. My question is why does my vehicle call for a 5W40? What does the 5W40 bring to the table over a 5W30 or anything else for that matter...

2007 VW Jetta So this morning I went to the store and it was pretty cold out. From the inside of the house it looked warm, so I wore shorts. Anyhow, I get in my car and crank the heat and turn on the seat warmers. As I'm sitting there waiting to warm up a little I press the brake pedal...

Hello all, I have a 2007 VW Jetta and it has a leatherette for the seats. I'm not even quite sure what that is to be honest. I was wondering what people use to clean it or condition it. Does it even need to be conditioned? Also, around my door frames there is chrome trim. It's looking a...

99 v6 3.2 Isuzu Rodeo. can't believe I forgot that. I use maybe a qt every 3000. Not as much as many that have this engine on this vehicle. The code that was pulled lead me to the cat, but in some cases it was the rear O2 sensor. In stead of just throwing parts at it one at a time, I found a...

OK, so Ive been on this site for a while and I've learned a lot. I know I want moly in my oil. My problem is why? So here's my question, what does moly do and what is it good for? If anyone has a few minutes, could you tell me about the stuff in the oil and what it is for. The things like...

Anyone have any experience with these tires? I am in the market for new tires for my Rodeo (99 4x4) and these came highly recommended. I hear they are great in the snow/rain/ice/slush. Is this the case? Just looking for some opinions because there are so many tires out there.
