Thought I would save a bunch of money on an oil change. Went to change the oil in the car today. Wife was out shopping so I used the garage. I didnt have a drain pan so I used the turkey roasting pan because it was so big and not make a mess if I missed hitting it. Oil drained and filter needed...
What would be the best charger or charging rate on this battery? It would seem that I dont drive it enough to restore charge. 2014 Malibu LT 2.5 Liter.
Lot of great advice guys. Biggest concern was sludge. Thinking it was cleaning engine from previous runs. Truck looked very clean and taken care of and looked like major miles were on hiway after checking history of mpg/hours/gallons used on the clock. mostly used valvoline due to claim of seal...
I have a '11 Silverado 5.3 with 118k miles. Bought it at 113k and changed oil at 115k April 1 2017 with Valvoline Himilage full synthetic. I'm retired so low mileage and some short trips. When I OC at 3k on April 1 2018 (one year) last time, oil looked very dirty/black. (reason for OC, was going...

Hi all, I have a 2011 Silverado I bought in 11/15 with 111k miles on it and it was very clean, near showroom fresh. I bought it from a Dodge dealer because thats where I found it. To date I havent put 3k miles on it. oil monitor says 24% remaining and dipstick shows no oil loss/used. It runs...
I had a 95 Z71 chevy, dealer put in 5w30 on an oil change, truck had 100k+ miles on it. My oil pressure kept dropping at idle and very low. Genius friend told me that if 10w40 is used in an engine designed for 5w30 and engine issues arise in warranty, it will be voided because correct oil vis...
