Definitely NOT an improvement over the good old Bitch Basket.

Old cars will be better than (current) new cars in about 10 years.

Not even close. New cars are better in basically every single way.

I’ll admit that I sometimes use synthetic or synthetic blend oils in my winter vehicles.

But is it better? I’m suggesting filters and oil that have proven to be high-quality via independent testing.

The content that as of late seems to be lacking. But I know it’s not the fault of the writers and editors. And it is stories like this -…
