    New Nitto 421s

    The more I drive these Nitto 421s, the more I like them. Of course one of the posters noted that this is only an initial impression and he is absolutely correct. The comparison between the Michelin's are fairly accurate in that tire wear wasn't the issue, is just that the Michelin premiers just...

    New Nitto 421s

    I have been a Michelin person most of my driving life when I can afford it. I purchased a new GMC Acadia Denali in January of 2018. It came equipped with Michelin Premier LTX tires, so I was happy until I started driving it. The car is a front wheel drive and the front tires spun every time t...

    Shell Rotella Gas Truck

    I put it in my Tahoe for its second oil change. It seemed to have quieted the engine somewhat. Still trying to determine if it was just new oil or it was actually this oil. I'm not one to try to stretch out my oci. I change my oil every 5,000 miles come he'll or high water.

    Why isnt there more love for Quaker State?

    I run QSUD in 5W-30 in my Nissan Fromtier pool service fleet trucks. Change it every 5 thousand miles. Probably should change it every 3 thousand and because the pool routes are nothing but start and stop, start and stop all day long, five days a week.when we have it changed it still looks good...

    What oil and/or viscosity are you contemplating changing to?

    I'm switching to Shell Rotella Gas Truck 0w-20 for my 2018 Tahoe and am sticking with Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30 for my 2018 Acadia. The Audi dealer uses Mobil 1 in my wife's S5, but, I'm not sure what weight it uses.

    Might try Shell’s new Rotella for Gas Truck

    I'm gonna give it a try. Maybe it's nostalgia, with the Rotella name, who knows? I do know it will be good oil at the very least. I have a lot of miles to go before either vehicle need an oil change, so I'm sure I'll read more about it before then.

    Might try Shell’s new Rotella for Gas Truck

    I have a 2018 Chevy Tahoe with a 5.3 V8, which I'm currently running Pennzoil Platinum 0W-20 and also a 2018 GMC Acadia with a 3.6 V6 running Mobil 1 5W-30. I'm thinking of switching to Shell Rotella For Gas Truck 0W-20 for the Tahoe and the same in 5W-30 for the Acadia for my next oil...

    What is road force balancing?

    As I read different threads, I see a lot of people posting about road force balancing of their tires, if they are having a difficult time balancing them the conventional way. I hate to sound stupid, but, being stupid, I need to ask, what is road force balancing?

    Lowest temp you ever started an engine.

    -36 in January 1981, northern Minnesota. Mobil 1 10W/30. I had a neighbor who was an over the road trucker who needed a jumpstart to get on the road. I had a 1980 Ford van with a 300 cubic inch straight 6 popper. When I turned the key, it groaned, turned very slowly, and went bang and started. I...

    Poor life with Mobil One?

    Well, it seems to be on a little bit of a better trajectory here lately. I have now gone 814 miles since I changed oil and I show 75% on my OLM. It was 83% with only 320 miles. I'm confused, but, like I say, things do appear to be getting somewhat better. As long as I get at least 5k OCIs I will...

    What is your maintenance schedule on oil changes?

    I change every 5k. It's easy to remember that way too, 5k, 10k, 15k, 20k, 25k and so on. Synthetic, switched from Amsoil to Pennzoil Platinum 0w-20 and Quaker State Ultimate Durability 5w-30 depending on vehicle. Still have a couple gallons of Amsoil left I need to and will use.

    New / Oil

    This question has probably been asked a million times here before, but, here goes one more. I have 2 gallon bottles of Amsoil 0w-20 in never opened bottles. The bottles are 9 years old. Is the oil still good? I know some are going to say, why take the chance, just toss it. Can it lose its...

    Would thicker oil in a high mileage GM 3.6L V6 help raise idle oil pressure?

    Your fine, if you have 5 bars, that breaks down to 20% per bar, which is well within the boundaries you are wanting. Mine goes up with speed and down while idling in both my cars, one of which is a GMC V6 and the other a 5.3 V8.

    Continental CrossContact LX20

    These are the tires that came OEM 235/55/20 on our 2018 Tahoe. When I took delivery of the Tahoe, I was a little disappointed that it didn't come with Michelin's. You pay nearly 60k for a vehicle, and you expect the best. I only have a little less than 5k on the vehicle, but I have to say, I...

    Have you used Goodyear Assurance Weather Ready tires?

    I have a 2018 GMC Acadia, with only 5570 miles. The tires that came with it OEM were Michelin Premiere which I have always had good luck with Michelin's in the past. Problem is, that the tires that came with it seemed like there was less than normal tread. Maybe I'm wrong, but, I don't think...
