I've used the Cerakote TRIM treatment. and that has kept the wifes black Murano trim looking good for 2 months of weather and washes so far.. I'm amazed actually.

Ok.. I've got an 89 Dodge Dakota 3.9L with a manual trans. I'm gonna change fluid and the manual says 10 30 motor oil. Was just wondering in 33yrs if anything better has come along. I think it has Redline MTL 75w80 in it now (from the 5 year old receipt I found in the glove box). thanks.......

2015 Murano 60000 miles Penz Platinum 0/20. Wix 51356XP (wish I could find an even bigger one actually) Would change the cabin filter if I can figure out how to get it IN there without totally destroying it.

Ok.. its time to do a Manual transmission,(an NP2500), fluid change on this beast The 89 Service manual says to use 10-30 oil. I feel stupid asking, but is this the way to go 28yrs later? takes 2 qts. and I'm assuming a full synthetic is ok.. appreciate the feedback.. k

I admit I haven't done gas additives in years....but with this Old Dakota now I figure I should give it some help. I go in Adv Auto and ARE YOU KIDDING ME.. Additives forever......... it was STUPID. Lower price.. STP..Gummout.. medium Lucas..Seafoam.. MMO (not the extreme).. then crazy priced...

oh don't I know it....... [censored] thing is HEAVY.. unfortunately its a 8ft box.. and I ain't moving anybody!

thanks for all the info... Its a blast just shifting again.. (it has a 5spd manual) think I'll go the MMO route.. It hasn't been using oil yet.......so.... I figure don't fiddle just to DO something. k

Ok.. I've recently obtained a 1989 Dodge Dakota (V6).. 108000 miles. So it obviously has been sitting around a LOT. I did all the usual.. changed plugs.. wires..etc. Now I changed the oil with Mobil 1 and was wondering, for the next change should I use a sludge removal additive like EPR engine...

ok.. I cross referenced the ph16 with Napa filters.. and I get seven choices.. NAPA 1084, 1085, 1307,1309,1362,1452,1614. Now my ignorant questions is... which Napa Gold filter is the one I need? I hate sounding this uninformed...

not as bad as it sounds...... been taken care of fairly well.. it IS brown though... which is sad.

this is correct i'm the buyer.. it has 106000 miles and has been taken care of actually, so... it is what it is.... preciate the responses and I apologize for putting this in the wrong forum initially. My 94 S-10 SS that the wife of this grandson in law hit a TREE with... is finally starting...

Ok.. I'm buying the grandsons 1989 Dodge Dakota LE pickup with a manual Trans. Which is good cause I really wanted to have a manual one last time before I DIE..... anyway, is there an oversize oil filter I can put on this 3.9L engine? It calls for a Bosch 3330 or Fram 3614 etc.. and these are...
