Just an FYI, I've been using the washers with a rubber grommet from the parts store. I'm at 200k miles on my '07 Outlander and have only needed to replace it once. Easy peasy.

Thanks, did two drain/fills and a final pull of the check fluid plug...all seems well. time will tell.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but need a bit of advice and I think you guys have the ideas to bring me through. Today I was changing out diff fluid. Working out of the service manual, I thought I had everything straight...but instead of refilling the front diff with the fill hole above the...

Thanks all. I've had good luck in the past leaving feedback on their national page and getting assistance from area manager. I've now bought 3 sets of tires for this vehicle and two sets from another....you'd think they could comp half hour of labor. There are other companies that offer...

Relatively long story short, I got some new tires put on my Outlander (Destination LE2). When taking off the rear wheel, three of the studs twisted off. The last person to touch the wheel was that shop when I had them rotate and do an alignment about a month ago. Shop swore up and down that the...

I'll be a bit of an odd duck and say availability is a driving factor for me. If I were to go to my Mitsu dealership, I'd need to drive 30 min each way. My NAPA shop is 5. If an OTC will work, why am I driving so far out of my way?

I pay $125 / month. I get 1gbit up/down, no caps. This is for gig internet and TV (all channels except add-on packages). Google fiber! Fastest speed test was 660Mbit down/600Mbit up.

I use them solely for buying decent tires, lifetime balances, and lifetime alignments. I make them align my outlander every 7.5k miles after I change the oil. The tires are lasting a long time. I had the truck in getting a state inspection. They tried to sell me a complete brake and rotor job...

I'm currently car shopping, and that's why I ruled out the Jetta. I think I'm settled on the Impreza. Oil change is laughably easy, and most other things are right in front of you. My only gripe is the CVT fluid, which I'm going to be researching some more. I really dislike having my fluids...

My Outlander calls for straight 80w and a straight 90w for the t-case and rear diff...of course it "had" to be DiaQueen. I replaced both with Mobile1 75w90 around 80k miles ago...about time for a change. Nothing has blown up yet. I can't imagine there is any secret sauce in there.

I'll miss my Ranger when it is gone. I putter around in the city and do use my truck to haul things around. I do not want a bigger truck, I will only be tempted to put more [censored] in it! Next vehicle will be a car, but I'm keeping the ranger...somehow.

I tried 5w20 in my 3.0...it didn't really like it too much. it chattered more than usual. I run M1 HM 5w30 and it runs well...same price as M1 5w20 at walmart. The vulcans were backspec'd years ago to 5w20 as not much has really changed. The 4.0 engine cannot go to 5w20 due to oil pressure...

A little late to the party, but we recently purchased a set of the 422s for our Mitsubishi Outlander. Before, I could only eek out 24.5MPG @70mph (on I-70 through missouri...relatively flat, some dips and hills). I now average 27-28MPG according to the readout. I'm happy with the savings...

3 years ago my OEM radiator died on the Ranger. I replaced it quickly with a Ready-Rad. That lasted 1 year. I replaced it again with another Ready-Rad warrantied out. That lasted 3 months. I purchased a Visteon (OEM for that truck) and no issues since. I had to get a little stern for O'Reilly's...

It is the Vulcan 3.slow. It does have an achilles heel that I've yet to run into. The crankshaft position sensor will sometimes break teeth off, which stops the oil pump, and bricks the engine. Many have this slow coolant leak...why would you mate your water pump to the timing chain cover and...

I got this truck for free as long as I could get it running...it just needed a good tune up. I've put about a grand in it in the past 4 years? I've got Mobile1 HM in it now, I'll go the 5k miles on it, then switch to cheap dino until I can have time to tear down. This year isn't so good with...

Finally did my UOA on the truck just to see how it was doing. This last OCI was bad, I was not checking oil as I should have and only took something like 2-3 quart out of it. I also have an occasional weepage of coolant that comes and goes. Did some quick research on Ranger forums and some 3.0s...

Ranger's radiator died after 11 years. I replaced it with a Ready-Rad. That lasted 1 year, but had lifetime warranty. Got another ready-rad...that lasted 4 weeks. I made O'Reilly give my money back and I bought a Visteon from RockAuto, Visteon being the OEM for that vehicle....that was years ago...

My outlander was a rental, not sure who though. Picked it up at 30k miles / 2yrs old and immediately did an oil change to make sure. UOA tests a few changes later show the engine working great and a recent oil pan re-seal and spark plug replacement (intake comes off) show a clean engine. Maybe I...
