    Mixing 0w20 with 0w40?

    User caterham used to blend m1 euto 0w40 and m1 afe 0w20 for a nice blend. I tried it and worked good in oil burner k24 honda... ran smoother for sure. Now that m1 afe 0w30 and m1 esp 0w30 are out kinda pointless to me. But choose what you like ... doubt your motor will care.

    1997 Jeep Wrangler 2.5L... Four-banger

    I'd go with 5w30 or 10w30 to start and maybe 0w40 or 5w40 if its an oil burner. Had a 2000 dakota with that 2.5 ... gotta drive it hard to move but not horrible. That gearing will help .. i ran wider but lower profile tires for the same effect.. noght and day difference.

    Well out of warranty, what oil would you buy for a 2.0t VW?

    180k on a '17 2.0t gli. I go 5k on oil and use euro 5w40 with vw cert or a40 porshe. Qs euro 5w40 would be cheapest imo.

    Court Shoes?

    I'd use low cut basketball shoes myself. Its what i used when we played pickle ball in team sports in hs. Indoor soccer shoes would be okay too.

    My car burns oil. Should I replace the spark plugs with cheaper ones?

    You could go with plantinums or copper if needed. My accord is a 1qt/1k burner ... for last 200k miles I put in oem iridium's and they last 50k or more.

    Sludgy 1990 F150 5.0

    Looks good so far ... probably still has a lot gunk in heads and/or timing chain area. I'd keep it up with 5k oci. Coworker is restoring that body truck as restorod ... rare bird these days.

    Where to buy 5W-30 in 5 Gallon Pails?

    Why not get a few 5 qt jugs of normal 5w30? Wally has qs synthetic for $15 each now or chevron 5w30 for $14... Or 6qt boxes of havoline 5w30? I'm sure that Buick would run forever on any of those.

    5w20 for high mileage Honda?

    Havoline himi semi synthetic 5w20 and/or valvoline maxlife 5w20 would do great. Mines at 280k ... run 5w30 now ... 5w20 is noisier but car doesnt care.

    Chevron Havoline?

    Havoline is good oil ... ive used planty of himi semi synthetic 5w20 in my accord. Chevron supreme is also good. Try it and see what you think ... as long as it meets the specs your motor wont care.

    Best oil for high boost turbo car?

    Isnt that engine very similar to a 2jz toyota inline 6? They make crazy power on stock internals and run normal oils. I'd go with 0w50 m1 or something similar but a 0/5w40 should work. Id definitely do an uoa on the t6 to make sure nothing looks wonky.

    New Tread Patterns

    My fave was a yokohama advan a032r rain spec dot legal race tire... all x's. Second is bridgestone re01-r because they did everything you could want... plus a lot of autox tires copied that pattern.

    2012 Accord K24 spark plugs.

    Every honda i ever owned did best on ngk... including my 08 k24 accord. I'd use oem replacement. Denso seem to be almost as good though from experience.
