    Ethanol in the news

    looks simple to me: you pay more for E85 and get less MPG - so you have to buy even more E85 to get the same distance. As bonus you'll get engine and fuel lines issues. And about "green" - to produce / extract E85 farmers uses plain oil / diesel. It's like double oil consumption == 2x CO2 -...

    M1 5W30 or 10W30 for CR-V?

    which one is better for MPG? 5W or 10W? Someone told me that 10W is better for MPG in warm / hot CA. Is it true? Or it's has nothing to do with MPG? Thank you.

    M1 5W30 or 10W30 for CR-V?

    Hi all, I'm planning to move to Synthetic M1 oil after 60k ml. I'm using 10W30 Penzoil. By manual is 5W30. I'm in SF Bay Area, where I don't see anything below 60 F. So I'm using 10W30 to get better MPG. Which one should I use 5W30 or 10W30 or etc.? thanks.

    which way to go for 60k service?

    will ST holds 7500 to 10000 ml on M1? that then saves my time for one less oil change in 6 months. Will I gain or loose any MPG in that case? What fuel additive you are talking about? I'm not sure I need auto-rx for a while ... I'm using Costco (76's IMO) or Shell 87 only. thanks

The MPG around 23 to 26. I didn't...

BG44K for profi - IMHO - may be I'll try it in the next 30k ml - who knows I think I'll start with Techron - looks like it's the safest one - again IMHO. and doesn't require any oil / filters change after...

    when / how to use Techron?

    tnx for the link. so far I didn't find the answer to my Q. Must I change oil + oil filter right after use of Techron? nothing about that in direction to use are there right steps (as for BG44k too - which is 4 times expensive and danger / risky to use - IMHO)? 1. Near an empty gas tank...
