    To change or not to change?

    For the first time in a long time Im conflicted on my next oci. Have a '19 Nissan Frontier with 21K. Put in fresh QS syn and NAPA Platinum last fall. Since then Ive added about 2K miles, mostly short runs to the gym and back during winter. Low miles but hard use. Change or not?

    House brands..

    Since my new Subie specs for a 6 month oci whether I need it or not, I dont plan on spending top dollar for 0w20 for maybe 3k mile oci. Are all house brands, Super tech, Advance Auto, NAPA, Meijer basically same quality?

    2018 Subie Crosstrek 1st oil change

    OK, I just cant pay the stealership $80.00 for 1st or any oil change when NAPA 0w20 on sale at $18.99 and Gold filter on sale. Question is, most subbiefiles swear by Subbie filter (Framish) for warranty etc. My research shows me WIX/NAPA have same 27 psi bypass as oem so shouldnt be an issue...

    2014 Mustang ATF change interval

    Conventional wisdom here has been every 30k for ATF and thats what I have always done with my vehicles. I bouth the Stang last year and it just rolled over 30K, I drive about 4K per year. Though the book recommends every 150K, are we still going with the 30K interval these days? If so, any...

    Annual oil change.......

    I have a 2008 Ford Ranger with 39K mikes. I drive about 4k a year and have been doing a full syn. change once a year. Should I change that to bi annual with a dino or blend? Would a 0w20 be ok as she calls for 5w20?

    2015 CRV

    Just approaching the 30K mark and thinking its time for fresh trans fluid. I used to do the 100% flush at stealership, but I see there's not a lot of love for that method here. Why? Is a 3 qt. drain and fill ok at this mileage,if so, then how often to I repeat? Then theres the question of oem...

    I run less than 3K miles a year on her, currently using VR 1 20w50 coventional. I see mentioned here NAPA 15w50 and Kendall GT1 as well. Im wondering if its even worth my $$ to use full synthetic with so little use, and what other options are good. BTW thats for engine, Im using M1 20W50 in trans.

    2008 Ford Ranger

    4cyl, manual transmission 36K miles on her, I dont drive much. Didnt get a manual when I bought her, wondering what to use and how often to change manual trans. and rear end fluid.

    Is using Pennzoil Platinum Patriotic?

    Deciding on what to feed my new CRV and my 08 Ranger. I want the best bang for my buck, but would prefer staying with an American owned company. That being said, if PP is made from natural gas, then this should reduce our dependency on OPEC. Question is, is it American Natural gas? Even if not...
