anybody wanna sell me some of the old green ow-30 stuff? I just want to see green motor oil for my own eyes....

Can anyone give me the scan code off of the new mobil 1 SN rated 10w-30 and the new Mobil 1 Extended Performance SN rated 5w-30? Single quarts? Thanks

irregardless isnt a word. =) Anyways it looks good. Good to know that a pf-63 is a bigger pf-48. The Pontiac G8 will in my garage will be happy to know. I'll give him the news when I take him out to lunch....sandwich for me, 87 octane for him.

Valid points. but just how much do you think it will cost to fight wars in the future when larger countries start demanding a larger supply of oil ( ie China/India)? A lot more than subsidies. And the purpose of the subsidies is to get ethanol situated and on its feet so that it cannot be pushed...

Soon to have an escape FFV in the family: my thoughts...feel free to discuss! I feel ethanol, sadly, is viewed by people as something that needs to be cheaper than gasoline. While it does need to be somewhat economically reasonable, the benefits of ethanol are not to just go green/cheap...

nah the 3mzfe was in the se or le. i have an xle and its the 1mzfe. 99 percent sure. do you use conventional?

grrr. i thought that was the older 1mzfes? Its an 05 camry i thought they had the problem fixed by then? Any one know? Thanks for the replies

So I've been running 9,000 mile oil change intervals in a 1mzfe camry with oversized l20195 and full synthetics. I have 2 quarts syn QS 5w-30 and 3 regular green conventional. If I mix will the blend be able to handle 9,000 miles? Does synthetic mixed with the conventional just improve flow...

So is this whole 6 year rule just for the average american who keeps tires in their front lawn all summer?

You could even go with the cooper lifeliner gls set of 4, for 460 dollars shipped from tiresavings.com. 540 wear rating rated at 120 mph. Are you really gunna go over 120 mph? Keep the extra 300 bucks and spend it on a vacation. They have some other good deals from the other brands but the...

Id recomend coopers. The cs4 has a V rating and 520 wear rating and scores A in traction and temp tests. Should run you about 550 bucks. No point in paying more for michelins. Wouldnt you rather spend the saved 200 bucks elsewhere? Also, I had the primacys and they cracked badly. Not a fan of...

Interesting. Maybe ill try to seal them in a tire bag? Would it be a bad idea to spray 303 protectant on the tires tread area, seeing as the stuff says it protects against ozone damage and the loss of the waxes in the tire? Then i could just wash the stuff off when I use the tires in a couple years.

the size is discontinued, hence why i would like to stock up a lil bit on them =/

Anyway to preserve them? I have the michelin tire conditioner on the sidewalls. The basement is dark, no sunlight. Is dry rot the loss of a certain chemical in the tire? Anyway to replenish it?

Alright thanks. Just wanted to make sure there isn't anything wrong with them as they feel like hockey pucks in the basement.

Its a liquid correct? Not a gel? If its milky you should be good to go and it wont hurt your tires at all. Spray a little on the tire or some other surface to double check that its a milky liquid. Also look at the back of the bottle to triple check and make sure it doesnt say "contains petroleum...

I bought two summer goodyear f1-gsd3 tires a while ago for a good price. They were made in 2005. The tires feel hard when i press on the tread with my finger nail. My finger nail will actually leave an indentation in the rubber, and the rubber will not reform immediately like on other all season...

You cannot say do tire shines cause dry rot. Thats to broad a grouping of tire shines. It depends on the shine. Anything that contains hydrocarbons, to my understanding, will pull plasticizers from the tire and it will loose its flexibility. However anything water based, will not contains...

i don't have a problem with aftermakret. All of them say meets or exceeds oem specs blah blah. And I don't see the manufacturer creating a whole new assembly line so that they can make a [censored] product when its probably cheaper for them to just rebadge the oem one. But who knows. Has anyne...
