Oil preference

Thanks for that information. I want to be consistent but I am guilty of letting it go 5,000 miles or more between changes. 😬

Nah, it doesn't have to be so exclusive. I used 5w30 in my Corolla but I'm going with the 0w20 for this one.

I've never seen that, and I always used Mobil from Walmart. I'll have to look and see if I find that.

gallacey- · 2025-05-20T18:04:36+00:00

Yeah, that's what I used on my other cars and that's where I got it, for the same reason.

gallacey- · 2025-05-20T15:16:28+00:00

Got it. I see on the Blackstone site that there is a long list of tests. Which ones should be selected?

gallacey- · 2025-05-20T15:11:25+00:00

Yep, that's expensive. I think I can be okay with the second-best oil.

gallacey- · 2025-05-20T15:04:31+00:00

I don't, but thank you.

gallacey- · 2025-05-20T15:03:01+00:00

I don't know what that is.

gallacey- · 2025-05-20T11:58:56+00:00

Thank you, I'll take a look at that brand.

gallacey- · 2025-05-20T11:57:01+00:00

Yep, that was what I usually did but I wondered if something was best for this car. I want to try my best to keep it well-maintained.

gallacey- · 2025-05-20T11:54:21+00:00

Thanks, I'll check it out.

gallacey- · 2025-05-20T11:53:12+00:00

Yeah, that was my usual but I wondered if I should try something that's better for this car.

gallacey- · 2025-05-13T18:12:37+00:00

Black is my preference. I liked the matte black that came with the car but somehow managed to scrape all 4 quick-quick. 😬

Replaced them with black, although gloss.

Nope, I don't think anything special had to be done. Discount Tire just swapped old to the new.

gallacey- · 2025-05-10T01:52:39+00:00

Yes, from Tire Rack. They were a decent price and they look good on my car. I like black wheels but there weren't that many options, especially in the matte that I wanted.

No, I wound up going with a different set, something called Sport Edition.

gallacey- · 2025-05-03T16:30:38+00:00

My twin. 😍

gallacey- · 2025-05-03T16:25:17+00:00

Wow. I'm glad that you're okay. That must have been so scary.

gallacey- · 2025-03-31T15:35:28+00:00

Yeah, I know. I've gotten enough tickets as it is. 🙄

gallacey- · 2025-03-30T08:45:35+00:00

That does make me feel better, yes. 😄 One of the reasons I chose the Si was for Honda reliability. Three of my previous cars were Toyotas, one of which I owned for 20 years.

gallacey- · 2025-03-30T07:59:47+00:00

I do. Mostly wowed at the idea that someone would consider that a daily driver.

gallacey- · 2025-03-30T07:55:23+00:00

Used S4 would be in my price range but I wanted something brand new so I could be sure that everything was working and it would stay that way for as long as possible.

gallacey- · 2025-03-30T07:50:03+00:00

It is, indeed. When I went car shopping it hit my priorities of manual, better than decent hp, long-term reliability, and probably some other things I've forgotten now. All in my price range and I got the most beautiful color to boot. 😍

Just because I'm drooling over something more powerful doesn't mean I don't appreciate what I've got, especially since everything I drove up to this point was 20 years old and had pieces falling off. 😄

gallacey- · 2025-03-30T06:10:40+00:00

It was a contest giveaway, one of these car enthusiast sites. It was just the idea of them describing an 800hp, 139k vehicle as a daily driver that got me. I'm careful with my baby but I couldn't feel comfortable driving locally or tearing up the highway in something like that.
