Of course a lot of people are going to be upset with Scotty, the guy just doesn't hold back and says what he thinks. I'm OK with his kind of honesty, even if he wants to bad mouth my car, that's fine with me, since I don't mind hearing what could be improved on it.

Recently the steering wheel on my car began vibrating and the ride became shaky too. My first thought was get the wheels balanced. But when I brought my car to the garage they told me my problem was the tires not the wheels needing to be balanced and suggested replacing the tires. I still have 2...

I'd like to find something @ Walmart that won't harm my 700cc Suzuki Intruder. I was told to buy Rotella T5 here. They don't have it. I can't afford synthetic or synthetic blends anyhow. So what kind of 10-40 non synthetic at Walmart is safe for my bike?

I have a 2007 Honda Fit, and my last oil change where I added Kendall 5w-20 Synthetic blend was 3 months and 300 miles ago. The oil life meter on my car reads 90%. Since this is the first car I've ever owned with a oil life meter on it, I'm wondering if I should go by its reading and throw the...

After taking another trip to Walmart today, I think I'm going to buy the Rotella 15w-40 non synthetic oil. One reason I'm taking a pass on the Walmart Synthetic is I could only find it in 10w-30. If I didn't buy that I'd probably wind up back @ Murrays aka O'Reillys buying their Castro1 10w-40...

Thanks for the advice everybody, I'm going to keep my eyes open for the Shell Rotella. Although if I can buy the Walmart synthetic for a lot less that's very appealing too, as long as it won't harm my clutch. Although if the clutch did start slipping in my motorcycle could I just change to a...

OK, thanks for the feedback. Unless I can find something else that looks appealing I'm sticking with the bike oil I buy. Oh that reminds me I was thinking about Walmart Super Tech Synthetic Oil. Will that get along with my bike's clutch?

While going through the aisles of Walmart I noticed this great deal on their Motorcraft Synthetic Blend oil. Can I use it in my Suzuki VS700 Intruder without having to worry about the clutch slipping in it?
