The only thing I remember my dad saying was to use it during new engine break-in so the cylinder walls didn't get the good additives wash away. Antiquated by today's standards but seemed to work up through the 60's.

The drain, measure, refill same amount strategy is pretty sound normally; you are relying on an accurate factory fill though. My '09 Tacoma was almost 3/4 qt low from the factory, granted, mine has a tow package with additional OEM lines and cooler so when I did my first change I was surprised...

Bilstein Available Parts The springs' sole job is to support the vehicle weight and provide chassis balance. I looked up your model year on Bilstein US site, quite a selection including springs, most available at Rock Auto as well. A little coin but your Benz will love it, as will you while...

I use the plastic part of a turkey baster to slip inside the dipstick tube, then put a long narrow funnel inside of that...not ideal but has worked very well for me over the years.

I am in N. Texas; I use this Ortho product - Ortho Nutsedge Killer The silver part is now black though. I get mine at Home Depot, they have a hose end type for larger areas and a handheld size for spot treatment...not too expensive, it works and won't kill the grass.

We are in N. Texas and had our roof replaced 2 years ago due to hail damage. We paid a little out of pocket to upgrade to the Level 4 impact resistant shingles from GAF and received a 35 percent reduction in our annual homeowner's insurance premium. Not on the level of a metal roof, but still...

Have you compared formula(s) to John Deere Coolgard II? Just a thought, I have used it in old iron block cars when I had trouble finding regular green.

I have used SI-1 Fuel System Cleaner for many years and am a very happy customer. Here is the SDS which shows Redline Si-1 Safety Data Sheet

I stored the Cutlass in my signature when I was in the military; mine was not climate controlled though. My dad was able to start and drive about once a month, which helped a great deal. For yours, be sure to check the condition of the hoses carefully and thoroughly, siphon all the gas out of it...

My post USAF life included 7+ years as an FAA Quality Inspector and I'm sure I'm not alone noticing WAY too many ground incidents and now in-flight acft equipment departures. Blue ice is one thing, but an over wing escape slide? Look out below!

Thank you for the post; I have a brake job on our '17 CRV most likely in the fall when it is cooler. You saved me a *** moment; I thought I had seen it all on our '14 Accord brake job a few years back. The bean counters must be working O/T at Honda R & D.

No heartburn with fiber at all...the bandwidth is amazing.

A company called Vexus has been subcontracting an underground boring company to create a hole to push orange or blue plastic pipe through to run their fiber optic cable in my area. There has been untold damage to residential water service taps/meters, natural gas pipe penetrations, electrical...

I thought I saw an article several months ago about Royal Dutch Shell pulling out of the retail gas station market? I know less than a month ago we lost our 2 Shell stations to a brand called DK-Delek. Anyone have the same experience?

He set the standard, Rest In Peace Mr. Brown, life well lived...think about the cultural changes he was witness to. Can you imagine Brown, Riggins, Emmitt, Barry Sanders in rotation? "We don't need no stinkin' receivers!"
