    What are you working on today?

    replaced the sister's windshield wiper blades with new Michelin blades from Costco...I had bought a set of these late last year from Costco for her Corolla she sold and they had very difficult for me to use connectors... these newer blades from Costco were different and connected to her Santa Fe...

    Cabin air filter question

    some charcoal cabin air filters I have seen have less pleats than the regular "white" colored filter medium...I've honestly never noticed any improvement with the charcoal CAF over the white filter media ones when used in a 2014 CTS Sport Wagon 3.0, a 2013 Malibu 2.0T or a 2006 Corolla...

    Post your latest engine/cabin air filter change

    2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited 3.3L...Cabin Air Filter...dirty STP carbon/charcoal out and clean particulate FVP in...FVP was not the best fit so note to self, I will recommend another brand for my sister's car next time... Bill

    Discount Tire Direct becomes Tire Rack?

    I've bought many sets of tires at Discount Tire Direct without having DTD install those tires...you can get them installed elsewhere if you like...I also have had a few dealings with the Discount Tire stores in the last few years and I wouldn't use them for anything if I could help it... Bill

    2015 Buick Regal ATF Change

    I see a lot of people claiming this on the Malibu Forums yet the GF's 2013 Malibu with the 2.0T was changed at 40K miles/10 years and looked as clean and red as the new stuff going in (Dexron VI) no odd smell to the old stuff either... Bill

    2005 GMC Yukon Denali with oil changed at dealership...sat 3 months before being bought...driven 4028 miles in 8 months (almost to the day) showing 5% in OLM when I purchased...I changed oil 135 miles later to ACD filter and full synthetic 5W30... after another 3605 miles and indicating 30% on...

    comments, differences? - Techron High Mileage vs Techron Concentrate Plus Complete, Fuel System Cleaners

    since they want you to use it every 1K miles instead of 3K miles like the Complete...as well as less chance of dissolving varnish and the help for the fuel sensor (unless you need fuel stabilization) I would use Complete over High Mileage... Bill

    Top Tier Stations Detergent Levels

    yes, I have...at every Costco station I've been to in the Chicago suburban area...I wonder what the "scam" is you speak of as I've never paid a premium for buying Top Tier gasoline at Costco which usually has the least expensive gasoline advertised price when I'm looking to fill up any of my...

    Running e85?

    I mentioned this a few years ago in this thread but since it's back up again, aren't you supposed to change your oil more often when using E-85 and aren't you supposed to use non E-85 gasoline at least on a sometime (probably mentioned in your owners manual) basis???...I know that was mentioned...
