"HM isn't necessary unless it's burning oil."-pbm In both my LeSabre & Galant the High Mileage Oil as well lessened Oil Leakage, to the point that it stopped the leaking in my LeSabre Completely. I have had this Focus only 2 days, at this point I don't think it burns any oil, but I do smell...

By the Way. I, and a long time auto mechanic friend will be doing all the work in a Garage, so the Labor and Supplies will be less then $100. I may just drive the Galant til this ECCPP System fails then sell it to a Junk Yard. The Main Consideration is the Transmission, if at 30k Miles from now...

If this Galant had less Miles, it currently has near 270k, I would then consider spending more money on it such as an Aisin When I bought this Galant at 219k it was previously owned by someone whom was far from a Mechanic. Although not abused it wasn't exactly properly maintained. Right after I...

I did a Forum Search for ECCPP, it did not turn up much. I have an 2003 Mitsubishi Galant, 2.4L, Auto Trans. I bought the Galant at 219k Miles, it now has 268k. According to the previous owner the Timing Belt was changed at 194k. Therefore there is roughly 74k Miles on the present Timing Belt...

Anybody try adding Marvel Mystery Oil (MMO) to a Honda's Power Steering (or any power steering for that matter) ? I have had very good results adding MMO to Gas Tanks & Crankcases on numerous cars, plus the MMO is nicely inexpensive. They say MMO can be added to Power Steering &...

I live in Salt-Happy Minnesota, Everything rusts up here. I purchased 2 Durago-Electrophoretic Coated Rotors ($16.xx each compared to $11.xx each for non-coated Durago) Durago Link from RockAuto. When holding the rotor it looks and feels of very high quality. They have been on my Accord for...

A Little FYI about those Milestar M665's I ended up getting the Milestar 665's on sale for about $32 each at Sears. I got right about 50k Miles out of the Set of Four M665's. I was very bad at having the Tires Rotated, had rotations only about 3 times, could have possibly got more mileage if I...

To put everything into perspective: Vehicle in question is a 1998 Buick LeSabre with 166k Mileage still using original Catalytic Converter. I bought this LeSabre when it had 148k Mileage. It idled just a little rough right at the day I bought it. I drove it till 160k when on came the Check...

Thanks for All the Replies so far. Turns out this Saturn also has an Oil Leak. Atm I'm looking into finding where the Leak is and how best to repair it. Figure I'll repair the Leak before I proceed any further into the Consumption Problem

I noticed a few weeks ago my 2000 Saturn SL2 is starting to have a small amount of noticeable Oil Smoke from the Exhaust. I do know it is a common problem of Saturns to burn oil. I do not know what part of the Engine is the Problem. My SL2 is a DOHC 4-Cylinder 1.9Liter. Is there a Cheap$ Fix...

Quote: a Company I've known for 30+ years would be the way to go. Turns out I may have been correct about that. Chain of Events: A friend of mine put in a new Wheel Bearing, Lower Ball-joint/Control Arm and a new outer tie-rod end (Driver-Side) in this Saturn about 1 month ago. I knew then...

Hello again, By the way I had forgot to mention the Review I had read on the Milestar M665 and Falken Sn-828's before I decided on a specific Tire. Tire Reviews and more.com Not quite as an informative site as Tire-Rack, but Tire-Rack had no Reviews on Milestars. The Falken 828's had too...
