    New Hemi 5.7L, what oil would you use?

    QSUD 5w-20. Meets Chrysler spec and is $20 for a 5qt jug at Wal-Mart. Add the $7 rebate to it. You can't go wrong.

    Lubro-Moly Mos2 Antifriction Treatment

    OK. I figured I'd drag up this nearly 2 year old thread after reading all of it. Do most members still hold MoS2 in high regard? Looking to give this a shot to quiet down the noisy 3.6L Pentastar start up. Love the car and the engine so far, just can't get over the start up noise. TIA for your...

    Eclipse Photos

    Surprised not one going yet. Here are some shots from Athens, TN. Just south of centerline. 2min 35 seconds of totality. Pictures do not do this justice. I've never seen anything like it in my life. Love the aircraft contrails in the first pic.

    Lets see the cars!!!!

    Picked up a 2017 Charger SXT Rallye. Redline paint, driver confidence package, and super track pack. I already love the car. This is replacing my 99 Camry with 301k on it.

    Mopar and Fram Ultra side by side 3.6L Pentastar

    Thanks for the feedback. So much for waiting a few months. I bought a 17 Charger on Thursday. I am already in love with the car. Hate the 1 - 2 second tick at cold start up, but had read up on this so I was prepared. Still don't like hearing it. Hopefully QSUD 5w-30 will help. Now if I could...

    Mopar and Fram Ultra side by side 3.6L Pentastar

    OT - what do you think of the Pentastar from a reliability / durability standpoint? Anybody had any issues? I am strongly considering a new Charger in the next 2 - 3 months.

    Post milestone or just plain fun odometer pics!

    Hit 300k on the Camry. I was at a dead stop on I-81 in PA when I took this.

    Advice on Detailing a '72 Pontiac LeMans

    Have looked at Liquid Glass? I have always had great success with it. Technically it's not a wax. Shine holds up great. 2 coats in the spring and 2 in the fall.

    Which tire shine product to use?

    I have been using this product for 2 years and love it. I apply it with a small sponge then store the sponge in a ziplock bag. This product holds up well and the bottle seems to last forever. It only takes a small dab to do each tire. Sonax Tire Gloss Gel
