When the dealership changed my manual gear oil (for some type of stupid proactive/preventive maintenance), changing gears started to become problematic, specially when the car is cold. Down shifting specially to the third, second, and the first gears is really hard. I had to slow down to be able to shift down to these gears. <br /> <br />Although SAE 80W-90 is not what the my car's manual is recommending, I took the risk of using it, and I couldn't be any happier. Shifting now is extremely smooth no matter how cold the car/weather is. I highly recommend it. Rating: 5 / 5 I have a 2006 Nissan Sunny.

Pope Sat, 21 Aug 2010 06:34:02 +0000 http://efot.org/?p=218#comment-194 While I am not petroleum scientist, I have had the opportunity to start vehicles that had been in storage for several months with and with STA-BIL. I was easily able to tell the difference. I first started using STA-BIL when I moved to the East Coast, leaving my Ford Explorer behind. The vehicle was in good condition but had 150k miles on the odometer, making me somewhat concerned about starting the vehicle when I returned and/or attempted to sell it. I gave STAB-BIL a try and was very pleased with its performance. In fact, it seems to work longer than the 3-6 months the manufacturer suggests. For nearly two years, I had the vehicle parked in my parents' driveway, much to their chagrin. If I recall, I only put 1-2 bottles in the tank the entire time. I never had a problem starting the vehicle. Ultimately, I was able to sell the Explorer because I had no problems starting and running the vehicle during my brief trips back home. <br /> <br />By contrast, a relative has a 1992 Mazda Miata with 35k miles, which is only used in the summer. The owner did not use fuel stabilizer until I purchased it for her. The last time I helped this person get the car started after being stored for four months, it chugged and sputtered for nearly 30 minutes. I would not have felt comfortable driving such a vehicle as it would have been likely to stall. I finally purchased STA-BIL as a stocking stuffer for Christmas '08 and put it into the Miata's gas tank myself. From what I understand, it has worked well. However, the real test will come in Spring 2010. I fairly confident it will work given my experience with my Explorer. Now, I recommend STAB-BIL to family members who are storing lawn and snow removal equipment. Consider STA-BIL a cost effective insurance policy along with simple tips below. <br /> <br />Other Storage Tips: <br /> <br />Over-inflate the tires to prevent flat spots <br />Start the car or equipment periodically in the off-season <br />Get an AC trickle charge or solar trickle starter for the battery <br />Get an oil change before storage <br />Consider insect repellants and/or covering air intakes if pests are a problem Rating: 5 / 5 While I am not petroleum scientist, I have had the opportunity to start vehicles that had been in storage for several months with and with STA-BIL.

Start the car or equipment periodically in the off-season

Get an AC trickle charge or solar trickle starter for the battery

Get an oil change before storage

Consider insect repellants and/or covering air intakes if pests are a problem
