Thanks for the helpful responses guys. I wanted to try it out because Wally didn't seem to have anymore 0w20 supertech in stock for in-store pickup(I'm a cheapie) but have some 0w16. And for only $14.88, figured why not right? Maybe I'll just wait or get the 5w20

Car calls for 0w20 on cap and am eager to try 0w16. Any harm in switching? - '12 Civic 1.8L

I recently pulled a vacuum on my car ac the other day (no leaks!!) and refilled the system with the correct amount of refrigerant and am getting cold air. I've been reading online that some oil is lost when pulling a vacuum. I'm curious on what the symptoms would be for low levels of PAG oil...

I will be doing an oil change soon using Mobil 1 Extended Performace with a Wix XP filter. Both claim that they are good for intervals UP to 15k. I'll update with an oil analysis from Black Lab and a picture of the filter cut open after I hit 15k.

I've read on a post somewhere that the PureONE and BOSS filters are being re-engineered.

I agree. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these bad boys.

check out the new Purolator filters. Does anyone know when they'll be in stores? PurolatorBOSS

I topped off the coolant, replaced the cap and drove for a good amount of time with heat and fan on max. No issues at all and I checked the oil, they're not mixing. Looks like it was a cap issue. 2004+ Sebrings were fine, anything before had major issues. All you have to do is keep the car in...

The coolant tank on mine is pressurized. I'm suspecting it's the cap, i'll let you guys know.

Saw no signs of a bad hose or water pump leak. The only thing that happened was the over flow tank spat out about 3/4 a quart of coolant. Now I have to clean my driveway before my parents come home

After coming home from school today I looked under my hood and saw the coolant reservoir boiling and steaming like crazy. I shut off the car and after a few minuets the coolant started making bubbling noises and got to a really low level. After starting the car back up, the coolant reached ABOVE...

I doubt it's a bearing problem, could be a small warp on the wheel. I'll come back with an answer Saturday.

I finally got my terribly rounded lug nut off with a torch ...but the wheel stud melted as well, should be getting one soon. Since I took the stud off, the right side of my car makes a wiggling sound especially when turning (sounds like it's coming from my wheel). Could not having a wheel stud...

The size of the lug nut is 19mm. I'll try hammering a 18mm in there and use a pipe to break it off. Anyone know if a reverse threaded socket should do the trick?
