I’m a history buff, and my DNA is about 90% English, but I’m not that interested. I do appreciate the tradition, though.
I never got the adoration of Diana. I don’t particularly care for Charles, either. I’m glad he’s stepped away from politics, though. The monarch should.
IMHO, Diana and...
Seriously? I just saw it on the local Fox affiliate a few weeks ago. I don’t get the strategy; it seems to be becoming a sport for very affluent Americans and a few lower income immigrant groups. There’s not much middle class interest at all.
I always go to the AAP by my house. They don’t mind how much I dump as long as I take the bottles. I think their tank fills up about every two weeks or so.
I forgot to mention I got the Purolator filter at Goodwill for $2.50! It was brand new. I found a vintage PureOne for my Ranger there a couple of years ago, too.
I got it for free, basically. It’s been sitting in the garage for years. Plus, the car is a beater. Anyway, it’s working fine, and the noise is from the CV axle.
That was a fast reply! Yes, I put good tires on it and had them balanced. The rear has a bad bearing, but it sounds totally different. Just a bass rumble, not a whine. He doesn’t have the money right now for parts.
I just did another spill and fill (or pump and fill) on the Fusion, and it’s super smooth. There’s still a growling sound at a certain RPM, but I think it’s a bad CV axle. It’s worse when turning, and it’s only on one side.
My brother-in-law has a Fusion with 215k miles. He bought it used at a good price, but the transmission made a lot of noise between 2nd and 3rd gear. I pumped out about 5 quarts through the dipstick tube, and replaced it with Castrol Import MV fluid. I also added LubeGard Shudder Fix, and it was...
I thought this stuff was just like Lucas, but then I tried it. My brother-in-law had a Fusion with rough shifting between 1st and 2nd. I did a fluid swap, and the noise was still there. I then put the LubeGard in, and it got really quiet.

Out 4.5 qt. Carquest Mercon V (Amalie)
In 4.5 qt. Fram Mercon V (still Amalie)
I had a 20% off coupon, so same price as Walmart, $35 for 5 quarts. Fluid was brown, but not burned. Shifts are quiet and smooth, no hesitation. It wasn’t slipping...
