Nice! I ran the same filter on my Cadillac DTS a few times in 2021

I think the e-core filters can be a bit restrictive. On my old 1999 Deville 10 years ago, I installed a PF-61E filter. After 1000 miles, the oil light would flicker at idle sometimes After that I only used the original AC Delco PF-61 and the oil light never came back on the rest of the time I...

Shift quality is ok. It gets firmer the faster you accelerate but, graduall acceleration is smooth

Yes, pan drop is easy, it comes straight down. Unfortunately the actual trans filter is internal and can’t be replaced unless you remove the transmission. But there are some screens you can replace after dropping the pan The cap is the dipstick. But it’s a wide cap and the stick is short. Very...

I have a DTS myself. I bought my car with 80K miles and now have 185K. Never had transmission problems. However I did “cooler-line” fluid changes at 84K, a pan drop at 100K, and more cooler-line changes every 36K miles. Might be too much, I like the trans fluid smelling sweet and looking red

Same thing with my old 1999 Deville. The alternator went out and my mechanic put a Reman Remy. After 100 miles, it developed a bearing noise and only properly charged the battery when the headlights were off. Under load, the voltage would dip below 12.6V Eventually I got a chance to swap it...

I used to use Valvoline FS 5w-30 on my Cadillac DTS every 5K miles. I switched to Kirkland FS last year on both my Cadillac and Camaro. I had no issues. The engine sounds the same

Usually when you remove the bulb, you’ll see the real manufacturer printed on the bulb My Cadillac came with Sylvania bulbs and my Camaro had Toshiba bulbs

Hmmm the words Long Island and Dealership don’t usually go well together Anyhow, my bet is something’s up with the reman caliper or bracket. I feel like a brake pad or slide pin is sticking. They could’ve also put too much grease on the pins causing them to “push back” and wear out the pads...

3 months ago, I did a mod on my Camaro RS to reconnect the parking lamp filaments on the turn signal bulb The car has seperate LED DRL which also acts as the parking lamps. Thus, the wire for parking lamp filament on the bulb was left out, but the connectors are provisioned for it. I rewired...

I want to get a set of Continental DWS 06 tires for my 2015 Chevrolet Camaro RS When does continental have its tire deals? And which shops have good tire specials for Black Friday? I know Walmart has free installation or something. Im thinking of buying them before Winter starts

Not sure. Haven’t done anything yet Ideally it should be clean cause the AC never had a leak and was only serviced once at a dealer. The car never had those “stop leak” cans put in it either

I have a 2015 camaro. Recently I’ve noticed the ac compressor is much louder than usual and making kind of a knocking noise. I tried to turn the compressor by hand and it seems stiff compared to other cars. The AC still blows cold and it doesn’t bog down the engine. Seems like I’ll need a new...

The local options are just cardone remans. They cost more than this new Raybestos one and I’ve heard bad things about them

I had the right caliper replaced a few years ago at a dealer under warranty. I guess i could buy the other side, but I don’t know if I can get a full refund if the part in the box is correct
