3.6 Engine Tick

[ShadowsPapa]

And if you ever need it hopes it works for you. I always love how they will try and deny everything over something stupid like records or what not.
I just found that taking that 3500.00 and saving it back does more for me then they ever will . Just my Humble opinion.

We had extended warranty on a Stratus. First head that went south, they covered. When it happened again a year later, they denied it. So, we dumped the car, took a big loss. Those coverages CAN be a mixed bag. Sometimes well worth it, sometimes, not

That's funny, but not - because I've seen their oils tested - don't laugh about it. It's not bad oil.

Oh, I'm not concerned with the oil, I was more-or-less poking fun at brand snobs.

the motor oil geek did an interesting test of off-the-shelf oils vs, "brand names" at $5-$10/quart. I laughed thinking - gee, I wish a few others could see this...........

Dang. That's Lake Speed, Junior! His daddy drove the Spam car!

Back when synthetic oil started to become popular in racing (mid 90s for us), a car owner and objectively smart guy, was curious if synthetic was running cooler because it didn't absorb and take away heat from engine. He held off on synthetics because "what works is what works."
