I would say that due to the small amount of oil, at least in my case, it's not worth draining it to the pan. Plus, one time mine was a tad bit thicker and I wouldn't want it possibly clogging up the drain hose. If it's collecting more, empty more often. Also, I'd think that whatever is in the...

Thanks. I was using the wrong terminology. I was thinking conical vs acorn when it should have been conical vs ball.

Thanks, I appreciate it. It was the conical vs acorn shape I was wondering about.

Does anyone know if the free lug nuts (not Monster) that come with 6GR wheels have the same face and can be used with the AA spare? Did a search but only came up with "factory nuts can't be used on 6GRs".

I work at a resort and have seen this. There have been a few times where the valets have come inside to ask us to park a car because no one on the staff was able to drive stick! But if it was mandatory to know how to drive one, there wouldn't be any staff! :crackup:

Just an FYI for you/us Mobil 1 5w30 users, I just got two 5 quart jugs being shipped to me from Walmart for $43.xx! I don't know if this is national, but it was from a retailer, not Walmart itself. Edit: This might be a scam. Going to call Walmart's CS tomorrow. Reading their site, they say...

I'd go to the Tire and Wheels section, peruse the aftermarket sticky on top and look at what people have done. 305/35/19 tires don't have a good selection and for a great summer tire, in that size, the Michelin PSS is the best selection. I used Contis on the front at 285/35/19 (see sig) as...

I know!! Anyone going from stock PP1s to 10"x11" in the 19" wheel, the 305 give you the comparable sidewall. 315 would be equal, but there is only a drag tire in that size. Going to 20" (305/30/20) wheels doesn't help since those cost more and the equal tires are just as expensive. There are...

A big part of the problem for the OP, and me, is the tire selection for 305/35/19. Not much choice. Nitto: NT555G2, NT05, NT555RII Michelin: PSS, PSC2 Pirelli: P Zero, P Zero PZ4 (plus a winter tire which we aren't talking about here) M/T: E/T Street S/S Nittos seem to have a horrible...

Exactly! We already pay the premium that they've figured out with age, type of car, credit report, history, miles traveled daily, etc. They then snoop and see acceleration and braking instances (even though nothing happened!) and decide to pre-penalize MORE?!?!? Another bean counter idea to...

Now there's an article on Yahoo: https://www.yahoo.com/tech/car-secretly-spying-driving-insurance-201509936.html

This is as far as I get with social media. Setup is in sig.

My AmFam has gone up ~$230 in a year. I lowered it the last payment time by raising the deductible on one section from $500 to $1k. Should have done that from the beginning, but oh well. Now it's back above what I'd have paid 6 months ago! I've been with this agent for 33 years...one of his...

I wish this site was posted as a sticky to help people out with tire sizes: https://tiresize.com/comparison/ It is not going to be 100% accurate as tire manufactures are all different, but gives a close representation of what will happen when changing tire sizes from stock. Going from the stock...

Others have posted their homemade gadgets, but I got one of these and it works very well to catch drips while changing the filter. https://formafunnel.com/ Also, to prevent an Exxon Valdez scenario in your garage or driveway, you might consider a drain valve. It takes longer, but prevents an...

Be aware that there is not a lot of choices in the 305/35/19 size. Look in my sig for the way I went.

See sig. Steeda progs and Bilstein.

Walking back towards the car, thought I'd snap a pic.
