    Manual Transmission Calling for ATF. Why?

    SAE 80W is right in the 20 to 30 grade motor oil vis range. But motor oil doesn't have the sulfur-phosphorous compound additives to combat extreme pressure galling. Maybe more of an issue with a 396 big block in front of that Muncie M21 than in an import weighing 2300 lbs with a 110 HP 4 banger

    Does Purolator have any QC?

    Robot dropped it. They want your vehicle non-functional so you can't flee when "the time comes"

    Anyone Accidentally Find a Good Tub/Shower Cleaner You Never Expected?

    My wife made something with milk and baking soda and something else, I'll ask her when she gets home. Blasted through neglected hard scum and mineral deposits I use a loop handled brush and a scrubby sponge on a F-Glass Tub/Shower enclosure

    Quality Control - Domestic vs Japan

    I had to give a New Japanese subaru impreza back last year due to a few issue, the killer being a moderate drivetrain vibration that the service dept couldnt fix - but I only gave them one chance. Surprising since this unit had the optional 16"cast aluminum wheel package not steelies and it...

    Overfilled from the factory?

    Why? What are your thoughts or experience? Maybe it's a Subaru thing for our stable of cars; with the piston way down there sideways and living on a steep hill. Or a parade of small pan and block 4 bangers with a crowded sump. All will be engine specific as of their "sensitivity" to overfill...

    Female Neighbor Takes 2018 Corolla to the Stealership for 100k Service

    Easy 1/2 hour job. Round up to an hour. Two hundred bucks P&L on a bad day up here in the woods - not in beautiful, gullible people land.

    What are you listening to right now?

    I heard this on MC oldies ch. 428 streaming last night while preparing some t.v. session snacks. I always thought this was some obscure film soundtrack tune sung by some import French or Brit Chic. I am stunned at Ed Brigati's vocals.

    I try to under fill about a cup to a pint. Better than overfill

    Rental car review - 2025 VW Jetta 1.5T.

    Not Good. More like somewhat tolerable. The past decade if you wanted a VW-ish car you would buy a Subaru. Now even those have been trashed by committee. Quite depressing for the econobox enthusiast.
