    Was anyone else hit with the Wilson Tech scam?

    I like to call it the Wilson Technologies scan. Somehow an organization got hold of thousands of people credit card numbers and ATM accounts and charged MANY people either $9.95 or $12.95 for something labeled Wilson Technologies OR possibly other labels. On the statement you get a phone # to...

    Amsoil Ea worse mpg?

    Honestly your change in mileage is so slight it could have been a number of other factors. Now had you seen a 2-3 mpg decrease then I'd say to pop out the EA filter and see if the paper filter makes any difference. I put one in my girls Maxima and my sisters Expedition and didn't notice much...

    AutoRX and Automatic transmission HELP!

    DUDE! Are you kidding me?! This guy is lucky because he has a drain plug on his transmission pan PERIOD. Not too mentioned one one his torque converter. I don't know how many times I've wanted to put a drain plug on my trans pans but have been too lazy to do it.

    Recent Recall? Please list it.

    When I bought my Focus off the street from a private owner, I immediately called Ford and found out I had 3 recalls. Battery cable replacement or re-routing I'm not sure, Rear hatch bolt and rear wheel bearings. Then I changed my fuel pump. Didn't need to but figured what the ****. Thank *** my...

    My aunts horrible- play the guessing game- how long will it last?

    Don't touch the car. Just let her drive it. If it goes down the drain then let her buy a new car. I bet you her car will out run all of ours. That's the way it is. You treat your car like **** and it will never die. You take care of it and it gives you problems. It's almost like a spoiled child...

    Ford Focus or Kia Spectra - Opinons Needed

    **** 32-34 on a Focus with AT is BAD for you? I envy you! I'd say the Focus and not just because I own a 2000. I'll tell you right now the most common problems with the Focus for that year ARE: Fuel Pump (Has an extended warranty if it goes bad) POSSIBLY Ignition locking (all years have...

    What filter do you use and why?

    Depends on the car and how long I want to go on the oil. Purolator Pureone is my top filter. For $6 I get excellent filteration capability. Motorcraft is my second pick. I get very good filteration with it as well as other premium features for a great price. And last is the Premium Plus from...

    Autozone brand oil

    I'll keep that in mind! Thank ya sir. Actually I checked up on that and he was using it 5000 miles and then progressively going up. The last time I had talked to him the guy had it in their up to 7K miles I believe and then I guess the guy wanted to try 10k. Like I said, the guy thought the car...

    Autozone brand oil

    Yeah already tried. Most of it is probably gone by now. Theirs about 3 Home Depots by me but honestly I doubt I'm gonna find any Pennzoil Platinum. I'd clear the store of it if I found it though! Honestly I'm not sure if I'd believe the employee. He could indeed be right but I'd guess that it...

    Dude if anything that big hunk of crap is an air restriction in my book.

    Autozone brand oil

    What's everyone's problem with Coastal I wonder? I can also run Supertech and a number of other oils. I'd just like to know what's wrong with Coastal?

    cleaned MAFS with CRC MAFS cleaner....

    That's a good question. I honestly barely remember what a MAP sensor looks like. I don't think you can clean them but I could be very wrong. Your Liberty has a MAP sensor in the 21st century?! Metallic! Heh.
