I’m happy with the Defenders on my Lancer, I got them for the road noise. I’m not a spirited driver though.

I was really happy with my Chamberlain belt drive. The belt is only important if the garage is attached to the house. Apparently getting extra power makes them last longer.

I told the configurator that my car is a 2010 and it says all of the gear fluids are good, which is weird, it’s the same car with the same fluid requirements.

I have always thought 75w90 was suitable where 80 weight gear oil was called for so I’ve been a bit confused as to why Amsoil doesn’t recommend severe gear for my 2011 Outlander V6 AWD on their product recommender. I finally decided to ask what was up, here is the response I got from tech...

Costco is constantly over-inflating my tires. The door says 35, they write 32 on the sticker and put 40 in it. It drives awful until I take some out. It’s nitrogen so the temp shouldn’t change it.

Get a battery at Costco. 42 month no question warranty. After 3 years get it tested, if it fails return it for a full refund and buy a new one.

Is there a way to ask for photo evidence?

I got tired of doing an oil change every month.

There a fella named bjorn who does all kinds of model x testing, he did a review with about 8 different trailers.

I always order online, get a preferred customer discount, Pablo should be able to help you out with that. I posted a UOA from my 2010 Lancer with 16,000 s, there were no metals and lots of TBN left, so I recommend it.

Thanks! It knocked $40 off my mediacom bill. Not sure why or how.

Thanks for the input. I did notice it shifted better the last time I changed it, I had just assumed that was the switch from Diaqueen to Redline. It only takes 3 qts, so I guess for $50 I may as well. The spec is for GL3 but the Redline I put in is GL4.

What’s the general thought for a change interval on a manual transmission ? My 2010 Lance’s warranty book says 2 years/ 30,000 mile (48,000 km). I’m convinced this is for the automatic, which shares the same warranty book. The last time I changed it the fluid looked brand new, I replaced it with...
