They just moved the FULL mark a bit further up the stick and .....Wallah... Your vibe now holds 4.4 Qts. Amazing Ay. Helps it run a bit cooler and probably helps it make it to its 5,000 mile oil change. I use GC and go to 10,000 with great oil analysis results.

It is good oil but I wouldn't try to outguess the guys tht designed the equipment. Just use it 50:1 like they say. You could ask this at Bob is the oil guy. Just google BITOG.Cheers

Perhaps it was the gasoline. The oxyginated fuels deliver less energy than the hard stuff. Type of oil may also have a play in the matter. I average 33 @70-75mpg w/ A/C on freeway. Wind resistance increases with speed. You use 18% more fuel at 70 mph than at 55 mph. More or less.To save BIG, SLOW DO...

What brand and weight of oil are you using? It may be as simple as changing brands. To learn more about oil visit http://theoildrop.server101.co...;f=42

To learn more about oil filters and who makes what brand look here http://theoildrop.server101.co...02456 . I use Wally World Supertech or GM AC1233 $2-3 and whatever oil is on sale. I work in a oil analysis lab.

I have the Weathertech deflector. It uses screws that attatch to existing holes in the hood. A marvel of German engineering it paid for itself the first day. A large rock thrown up from a truck hit the car ahead of me and came after me . It hit the deflecter. http://www.weathertech.com/sto..._id=0Th...

Is that MPG measured the old way or the NEW way?

BIODIESEL ! Just go to the UK . There folks go to the ASDA (Walmart) and buy several gallons of cooking oil and put it into their cars. They run great ! The catch ? They get busted for not paying the road TAX. LOL

Id have a look at the O2 sensor Thats where the engine gets its info . Additives can damage as well as age, This is a bit soon at 60K k. Cut your warmup . Its waste of energy. Check your tire pressure also. These things all add up. Good luck.

The manual calls for a 9006 lamp. That said I'd look for a bad ground someplace. These can be tough to find if its not something obvious like a partly broken wire. Do a resistance check . The lamp wattage shouldnt matter since the fuse should protect it from over current. You have a partly cut wire ...

I am sure about this. The VIN # says it all. Look at the 8th character. If it an" 8" its base engine . If its an "L" its the GT. Look on page 5-89 and 5-97 of your manual.

The *8 is the base engine .The L is the GT. Look at the 8th character in the VIN. It is the engine code. 8= base engine .

My dealer has a free 125000 mile power train warranty. You have to take it to him tho. And show proof of required servising like oil changes.

I'm wanting to know if this oil will reduce my fuel mpg. The posts from BITOG seem to say it does. Was wondering specifically for the Vibe. The 0-30 really works out to be a 40 by US standards. 0w-30 also known as German Castrol.

Is anyone using Castrol 0-30 in their vibe ? Did you notice a change in MPG? Did it increase, Decrease or remain the same ? Did you keep records of your fuel or is it just a guess ?Thanks,Chris

That stuff in the tall orange bottle was rated best for new cars by Consumer Reports. It doesnt have any polish to wear down your clearcoat. All it needs is a wax. I believe its a Silicone wax. New Finish is its name. $4.99 at Wally World.

The Factory uses synthetic in the gearbox. Why change it ? Wait till its due service then go with your own brew. Never had a shifting problem.

Here is where you can get cruise for the 05-06 vibe. http://www.mnrelectronics.com/roscruiscon.html Its not listed . Call and ask for Michael. $150.

I had a quik drain on my dodge bickup. Took it off after first use. WHY ?Because drain time os very slow. Because it leaves oil in the pan. That last few ounces full of crud. I did get my drain plug magnetised so it will collect more wear debris . Hope there is some iron parts in that motor.Chris

Just installed Hidden Hitch on my 06. http://www.etrailer.com/produc...6&h=e . Install was 10 min. Mostly to get tape holding bolts and stuff off of hitch. Only 4 bolts into threaded holes in body. Piece of cake. The price of the tubular hitch was $99.99 + 10 shipping last week. Must be a popula...
