Switching to full synthetic in an old car didn't cause a leak?

The play is to buy oil from an auto parts store with price match to Wally website

lpg cars are popular in latin America. Older cars converted as well as brand new ones sold in a dealership. Supposedly much cheaper than gasoline there.

Double-gasketed means the old filter's gasket was stuck on the car, so when you put on the new filter, it pushes up against the old gasket instead of metal. Which would cause a leak out of the top of the new filter

Crazy thing is that it probably is a little staged, seeing the bowls of fruit in the kitchen.

Where'd you get the compressor if you don't mind sharing? My OEM would be $500

Unpopular opinion, but you could also just never fix it. Most cars back in the day didn't have AC

Any bike is fine for that type of riding. The only things you could shop for are farings vs naked for wind, and your preferred riding position. Edit: just adding that if I were doing only that type of riding, I'd get a Yamaha YZF-R3

Yeah that's a good point. A bad motor mount should also cause vibration while driving. Rough idle only could be a bad spark, low idle, or could just be something so subtle that it can't be identified (age)

I had this problem recently. The vibration started as a mild annoyance and became terrible after a thousand more miles. I assume vibrations are bad for the rest of the car. Ordered 3 new aftermarket mounts dirt cheap. Changed only 1, didn't help and decided to sell the car instead of dealing...

Are you asking about the Soul generation 2010-2013, or the newer 2014-2019?

Thanks so much those both look like great options. I'll have to call around to track down where I can find a single gallon of the Valvoline. This is more of an educational question, but how is it that the Mobil 1300 in 10W-30 meets the specs for API SP but not API SL?

So the question is: what's a better 15W-40 oil than Rotella for gas engines?

You're looking at a very good car at an okay price. But my general rule is to never travel a long distance to a car dealership. A few times I've gotten tons of pics, even did a FaceTime walk-around, and still saw problems when I got there.
