So since winter is right next door, I was going to stock up on wiper fluid. I've usually stuck with the orange rainx or prestone deicer during the winter, but they both leave "stains" on the hood.. I'm guessing that this is from the alcohol in the fluid.. Is the percentage of alcohol mixed into...

anyone willing to do a voa to see how this new katria mobile holds up? Most autozones still have the pre-katrina m1.. high volume stores like walmart seem to have nothing but post kat..

can anyone post a pic of the new bottle?

its not at walmarts here in buffalo also. i checked 3 of them, ended up going to autozone and paying the 30cents more/quart =\ At autozone i found two bottles labled in july (pre0 katrina/rita/alphabetagamma... and 2 from 04.. Were there any "relaxed" forumations out in 04?

thanks for the input guys. always good to be reassured. They really should require you to press the shift lock button to move into any gear.. oh well.

I was on the highway going around 65 when reaching for something i pushed the automatic shifter into neutral.. I did what i thought best and tried to match the rev according to how fast it should be at with my speed and put it back into drive.. Any harm from doing this? thx.

What do you mean by "not as green" i just picked up 4 quarts of m02's today...

was at autozone today, saw m1 bottles lableing with approved by honda ford and chrysler.. are sales of 5w20 that bad that they need to point out that it is factory spec? btw, autozone has 10 dollar giftcard rebate if you buy two bosch wipers. (ignore of repost)

I read in an article in the NY times that Bush has lowered EPA standards for oil refineries, therefore allowing more gas to be refined, but dirtier. Is there any concern to the average driver of this "dirty gas"? I understand that parts of the country are devestated and dirty gas may not be of...

Thanks for all the info. I know i shouldnt worry about it, just like the majority of the people here, we're all crazy about oil. I used factory oil filter from honda.(filtech) It's really small, doubt it made much of a difference. I checked after i started the car, moved it off the ramp, turned...

I did use rhino ramps to lift it.. I doubt it made a difference since the filter is facing the back along with the dran plug. I guess ill check for bubbles on the dipstick. Thanks.

So I recently changed my oil for the civic, it calls for 3.7 quarts with filter and thats what i put in, however after checking the dipstick its over about.. maybe 1/4th of an inch. Is there a convention to read howmuch is it overiflled by or just visual inspection only? another question i was...
