cleaning products - F21 i think its called
rust removers - never had to deal with rust

Do NOT use fram filters. There have been a lot of reports on how bad they are. DO a google search you won't like what you find. Wix are the best bet. Cheap enough, and best quality.
I ran royal purple in my Titan. It was supposed to be good for 10K, but around 5,500 miles my motor started pinging under load. I wasn't planning on going 10k, I was going to try 7,500. Then test the oil. I am now running mobil 1, but it has only been a couple hundred miles so I don't know what the results are. I know I won't be wasting the money on Royal Purple again.
Sorry I can't say what I run in my Mazda. I drove it home and tore it apart after I bought it.
