    Used stealers are getting crazier still.

    Saw an ad for this even though I'm in Texas and this thing is in Wisconsin but this place is out of it. They're asking 12k for the most basic XL spec manual 2wd 4 cyl ford ranger because it's "low mileage" though 36k for a 2011 isn't even low. I'd say under 15k is low mileage and even then...

    0w-8 has gone mainstream. M1 AFE 0w-8.

    I have no idea how long this has been available but walmart is already selling M1 AFE 0w-8 directly and at a reasonable price. There's only one review from feb 10. Here's the info on mobil's site. I'm surprised to see tbn listed and it being 9 as well. With a vii of 144 and that kv 40 and 100...

    Absurd Gm emissions vent filter placement.

    Came across this youtube short of a 21 suburban z71 having an expensive evap failure early on from poor vent filter placement. In having a 21 escalade I'm going to have the same setup and same expensive problem. I'll get under mine and check soon. I think I'll just wrap it around with a red...

    New Mobil Delvac extended performance oils?

    Funny enough I only found out about these two new oils just a minute ago on a YouTube ad since ad block stopped working and i'm forced to see them which i'm happy i did for once. There's a "1000" hour 15w-40 delvac modern extended performance and a "2000" hour 5w-40 delvac ultra extended...

    First Toyota crown in my area. Funky looking.

    Saw my very first Toyota crown. Saw it from a distance not knowing what it was because the rear was two tone and weird looking enough for me to floor it to get close. Kind of torn, i don't know why I both like and dislike the looks. It almost looks like a crossover of a sedan and a crossover...

    New Mobil EHC 340 max base stock?

    Was wondering about mobil ehc so i revisited it and saw that they had a new base called 340 max and it's interesting. A pdf brochure by mobil states that it's meant to be released in 2025 so it seems early but they're likely just trying to get in possible clients minds early to get talks and...

    New M1 15k hybrid oil?

    Went to Walmart to pick up some groceries on the way back. Just had to swing by the oil shelf to see if I could get a peep show with the new QS ultimate. Saw that and this and haven't seen anyone make a post about it. What do y'all reckon. I'm surprised it isn't 0w-16 since that's what most...

    Chrysler hurricane inline 6 differing oil specs.

    Here is a spec sheet of the standard output and high output Chrysler hurricane 3.0L TT inline 6. I was first expecting both engines to spec a 30 grade together. I was surprised to see that the standard output is spec'd for 0w-20 while the slightly more powerful high output version is spec'd for...

    When did y'all draw the line in gambling

    So the last day I played scratchers i was $38 profitable from all that I've spent and won in total. So I got pretty cocky today since I won $1,000 on a scratcher a while ago. I went in to buy many more and kept rolling the cash back into tickets and now I'm at -939. So I lost a total of $977...

    Executive 2022 Toyota Camry?

    Rather odd how India only gets an executive Camry as it's the only trim and no cheaper trims like we do. A little weird that Toyota chose to make the Camry in this special trim instead of the Avalon. But I'm guessing they're going for the cheapest large enough sedan to make luxurious but even...

    Thickies-0 / Thinnies-1 :(

    We thickies have lost because the bait lord and click savior himself has preached "these engines are designed for thinner oil, if you put a thicker oil, they will actually wear out faster" Now we must repent for our iniquitous thickie sins because we've worn out our engines faster. A cardinal...

    0w-16 makes your engine last 2x longer?

    So i was watching a scotty vid and i normally don't dislike him or mind the majority of this silly harmless clickbait but in his most recent vid he said 0w-16 makes your engine last twice as long and i couldn't help but laugh but also get a bit upset over absurd thinnie propaganda. I guess i...

    Buying a new tig welder kit

    So I'm buying a new klutch tig welder kit since the much more expensive miller thunderbolt xt i have is pretty unused since it doesn't have a pedal and cant have one attached, I can only use stick which is basically never and my miller 210 mig isn't really up for the small jobs. This is the one...

    Didn't know Cadillac gave gifts

    Pretty neat of them to mail this. Wasn't told or was expecting it. They sound pretty good. Now I can listen to Cumbia while driving the now Sunday truck to church, dinner, and family gatherings while the rest listen to something in English 😂 My 05 xl Denali is still gonna work on the rest of...

    0w-8 in the new non US Yaris hybrid

    i tried looking up a 0w-8 forum but i guess the search function aint the best. The Yaris hybrid has been out for half a year but the owners manual has been up on the Toyota UK site for a while. i downloaded it a couple months ago to see if it was true and it is. the funny thing is that Toyota...

    New API SP QS 5w-40 euro

    Looks like Quaker state just released an all new API SP 5w-40 euro on Walmart for $18.97 that appears to be insanely stout. Has no reviews on any website yet or oil posts about it. It even says its available at my local Walmart. If all of this is true I'm gonna go bananas. I just finished my...

    0w vs 10w starting properties.

    Hello everyone, I have an old 05 GMC Sierra 6.0 as a work truck and it has 323k from when I bought it new and it has never had an engine or transmission component replaced other than the alternator. The internals are all original. The engine has developed a small tick about 4 months ago that...

    US vs EU service manual oil viscosity differences on same engines.

    Hello everyone, I have a 2016 Mitsubishi outlander with the na 2.4L 4b12 and it calls only for 0w-20 which I use but I notice the engine is a bit loud and doesn't sound healthy. I paid for it in full since I got it stupid cheap new since the dealership was closing out and was very attracted to...
