I finally got my new 2023 Mazda 3 2.5 base model after a 6 month production backlog. I've put about 350 miles on it and was planning on changing the factory fill at 1000 miles because no particular reason other than I'm 'old school' and worry about break-in/production debris in my new engine. I...

So I dropped the leaking (rust through) oil pan on my 1998 Mazda 626 with a little over 200,000 miles and I'm greeted by this oil pickup which is AFTER I sprayed it down with brake cleaner.

Can't find it on the Rislone website and links to the old hyperlube.com just redirect to Rislone, ordered a couple bottles on Amazon and I'm crossing my fingers I get the right stuff. If I do I'm stocking up, if I don't I'll send it back. My understanding is it's a fancy PolyEster oil, really...

I own a fairly good condition (130K miles roughly) 2000 Toyota Celica GTS (the Yamaha 2ZZ-GE) and it's time for the yearly oil change. I've been using 5W-40 in it for many years, switching between Mobile1, Valvoline MaxLife blend, and more lately Valvoline 5W-40 Synthetic MST or the other 3...
