Because the car has 188k on it, it has a stumble and unlike 99% of the idiots out there who sling parts I go through diagnostic procedures. You don't know me, nor anything whatsoever about me, yet come straight out and insult my intelligence. So don't talk down to me boy. I merely had a question...
No need to be a [censored] about it. Maybe I don't have the money to buy that expensive cleaner. Ever think of that Mr BMW? Maybe I don't know chemistry, but the next time you fly think of me. Because I [censored] sure know that Boeing you're sitting in inside and out.
Hi all. I'm about to buy that OTC 7448 tool that hooks inline to your injectors and cleans them while the engine runs. I know their brand cleaner will run the engine, but it's way too expensive to justify buying that for all the vehicles I service. What would be a good cleaner that would...

That oil is very dark for 500 miles, maybe it is just cleaning out stuff.
Also, I'd use cheaper 15W-40 HDEO for short runs.
That ain't 500, that's only 70. But I did use quite a bit of assy lube and...
Good memory. This time I've had to change the rod bearings because of a worthless pile of [censored] shop employee. Also this is wayyy more metal than I had before. The car has been utterly fine for the last year and has accumulated around 15000 miles. I stopped worrying about it after changing...
Oh I was vocal about it. The first thing i told him was don't shut the door with the key in it. He shut the door with the key in it and got locked out, got rough with the slim jim, and then took off beating on it. Sounded like at least 5000 out of the parking lot. I told them to expect a repair...
