Hope it has a better fate than the Titanic II of the 2010 movie of the same name!

In my '95 SC1 (198K+ miles), I use 10W30 from October to March and 5W-30 from April to September. I am currently using Valvoline Synpower.

1995 SC1 - original owner with 198,000+ miles. Mixed driving: 35 MPG It's been awhile since I've taken a long trip, but I've been 40+ with all highway driving.

I'm thinking you're looking for a spin-on filter, like my Saturn. I've read people have good success with Wix and Baldwin, but I believe Baldwin is harder to find. Ryan

I had my tranny rebuilt two years ago ('95 Saturn SC1 with 187K miles, original owner). Over the last month or so, as cold weather has arrived, I've noticed some drops of ATF on my garage floor. Might the colder temps be causing athe pan seal or axel seals to contract? If it is, has anyone had...

Hello! I am attempting to join the 20th century and upgrade from dial-up internet. At the same time, I'm looking for an economical, reliable home phone service. Currently, I have bare-bones AT&T landline phone connection that runs ~$34/month (which includes taxes). My All2Easy dial-up internet...

It is likely part of the real axel recall issued by Ford over the summer. I know Ford is trying to get them off the road, as a neighbor of mine was given a generous discount (forgot how much) when trading in his Windstar for a new Focus.

I've recently developed a problem with just one of my valve stems. I normally use my bike tire pump to top off my car's air pressure when I check it once a month. Last weekend, while doing so, the nozzle of the pump would not stay on the valve stem--it kept getting popped off shortly after...

I can get the BF Goodriches now $60 cheaper thanks to a rebate that wasn't there when I purchased. Even counting installation, I may only be out an additional $150, assuming a can get $350 from the Coopers (I did place them on Craigslist). And that is causing the loss of sleep--a 5% loss in fuel...

It's a Hyundai Santa Fe.

I went with the Cooper Discoverer CTS and regret not buying the BF Goodrich Long Trail T/A Touring. The original tires were Bridgestone Dueler H/T 684 II. The consensus opinion on these were that they are pretty inferior. Yes, they did not have very deep tread. I got the full use of them (~41K...

I had narrowed my choice of tires down to two, and chose the one that was $60 cheaper. Unfortunately, that tire must have very poor rolling resistance, as MPGs are down over 5%! Does anyone know if there is a market for "near mint" tires? Mine have only been installed 3 weeks, with about 1,000...

I'm in the market for new tires. Is it common to charge $10 each tire to install, simply because it has TPMS? Just when I thought it was going to be $16.50 ($14.50 + $2 disposal fee), I came across the TPMS fee on the company's website. Is this common (this is my first TPMS vehicle)? I'm...

I plan to do my first drain and refill of the ATF in my 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe with 40,000 miles. The capacity is 9 quarts, but I've read that a drain and refill only removes about 5 quarts. So I was planning on doing a second 5-quart refill shortly thereafter. If I do a drain and refill this...

oilcoholic, I took a look for the BFG Long Trail Touring at discounttiredirect, but unfortunately, they do not carry them (at least in my size: 235/70R16). Bummer...that $60 rebate would have helped!
