I am based in australia, and I use a semi-synthetic in my 04gv. I use to use suzuki filters for oil but given they are at least 40-50% dearer than generic...
Thanks!! What about the fact they changed oil brands on me?? Will that hurt anything?? Do you think Quaker is better than Havaline???? I live in the BOONIES...
most dino (read: non-synthetic) oils are pretty similar when you get to the name brands darci, so i would not sweat it over the change. just switch back to...

Kris, you always come up with good ideas!! I used to change my own oil on my 1971 Mustang. That was about the last time. I THOUGHT it was easier letting...

I know about 'fin combs', but this condenser looks to be a very, very compact and shallow fin style which might not lend itself to a good comb-over....
Thanks, Kelly!! I TRY to get the oil changed "around" 3,000 miles, but I know it used to be 6,000 - I thought. So, I don't feel too badly if I go a few...
New member here with a 03 GV. Lots of time with other vehicles though. I run 5w30 Mobil 1 synth in the GV and use NAPA Gold filters. Whatever brand of oil you...
... WHOA! You change Mobil 1 every 3K miles?!?! Can I have the drained oil? I wouldn't hesistate for one second to put it into my GV for an additional 10K...
No problem. Yeah, I've heard too many stories from friends that worked at those places to ever use a quick lube place. I cringe now that my dad doesn't do...
Yep, and it's dirty at 3k too. If you want it, you can have it. Just send me a postage paid self addressed biohazard container and it's yours every 3 months...
I don't want to start a transatlantic flame war here, but AJM, you're talking cr*p. Improvements in manufacturing tolerances, fuel mixture control, and of...

"Dirty" doesn't necessarily mean used up. The oil in our diesel pusher motorhome is dirty after three minutes of runtime, but it stays in for 15K miles. You...
...I don't mean to start a flame-a-thon, but the traditional 10 year- old oil-burning beast on the road is long gone. Even with minimal maintenance, engines...
Hey, whatever you guys want to do is fine with me. Just don't tell me I'm wrong for doing what is proven and safe. Now let's talk suspensions, drivelines, and...
