One will blow first. Keep in mind that a 15 amp fuse will not always blow at exactly 15 amps. A continous 13 amp load may cause a 15 amp fuse to blow while an start up load of 17 amps may not. It isn't the current that causes a fuse to blow but rather the build up of heat.

It isn't just the price of the car. Interest rates, dealer accessories, trade in, rebates, and payment terms still make a huge difference. I view this as a step in the right direction.

"We guarantee this product to be free from defects in materials and workmanship 90 days from the date of purchase." Seriously, HF?

Yes. An oil's characteristics will change during the OCI. Generally speaking: lighter oils will burn off first and VII will break down. So in an extreme case, 0w-40 could resemble a 10w-30 after hard use.

CLICK HERE I believe that it used to use a sodium additive until very recently. Edit: I guess I was wrong. Another UOA

Not to attack the darling of the BITOG community, but... In order to achieve the cold flow properties required for a 0w oil, a higher percentage of VII are needed. That makes the oil prone to lose of viscosity from shearing.

Still better than Canada

Originally Posted By: HerrStig I think this obsession with 0W oils is getting a bit out of hand in mild climates especially for engines where the oil is not specified. Northern US or Canada is something else. Absolutely.

I stopped by the dealer last Saturday, but they didn't have them in yet. My problem is that they cost as much as the 1500. For the price, one would be better served to go with a larger truck.

I got one last year. So far, I am really pleased with it. It isn't uncommon for me to leave my truck sitting for a couple weeks while I am traveling - batteries don't normally last long for me. AGM batteries need special chargers.
