Thanks, fellow BITOGers. Sounds like good advice.

I have a 2004 Aveo (now, no cracks - I love this little commuter) and I notice the headlamps will dim for a micro-second whenever I turn on an accessory like the rear window heater, etc or even hit the brake pedal while idling. I know these boxes are basically capacitors that store a charge and...

Far as I can tell, Avlube doesn't include a TBN with its oil analysis. [ January 11, 2005, 11:42 PM: Message edited by: 59 Vetteman ]

Couldn't find either Penzoil or Quaker State multi-vehicle AFT at AutoZone, O'Reilly, Napa, or CarQuest. Did find SuperTech Multi at Wally World....hopefully this is made by Penz/Quaker. Anyone know for sure?? Thanks.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, guys.

Is Quaker State (Pennzoil) Multi-Vehicle ATF compatible with GM Part No. 88900925 (T-IV ATF)? My owner's manual says to use ESSO LT71141 only, while my local GM service department says to use the GM part number listed above, which is T-IV ATF (at a hefty $20 per quart)! Instead of all this...

Motorbike- I've gotten a 39mpg average a time or two when I kept the lead out of my foot. But I tend to drive hard. I almost bought a Kia Cinco! Had there been a Kia Dealer in this rather small town I sure would have. But I didn't want to drive 100 miles for servicing, etc.

vvk: My Aveo is automatic; gets around 34mpg; is a sedan. Despite what so many folks seem to think, I find the Aveo very peppy and strong. No problem with keeping up with interstate traffic - nor with highspeed passing. I find it roomy and comfortable. It's neither a hotrod nor a caddy, but I...

http://www.rostra.com/cruise-control.htm Seem to make a quality cruise - from some of the comments I've read. A fellow Aveo owner said it was a snap to install...under an hour. Cost just under $200. Might be worth a look.

My very first Report! The Molybdenum, Iron, Boron, and Silicon sure seem high. (Aveo has 10000 total miles) Any thoughts?

These are the recommended AT fluids for my Chevy Aveo. I'd rather use a more readily available brand but am not knowledgable about cross-referencing. Anyone here absolutely know for sure a good alternative?
