    Is castrol Synblend have PAO in it?

    I bought the car from a friend. It's still clean on the dip stick, too. So I'm pretty sure about that part.

    I can't seem to find anything in my search results. Can anyone enlighten me? Running AutoRX in a new to me car and previous owner just put this oil in the car. Thanks

    is white lithium grease ok for caliper slide pins?

    Yeah... I knew I lived too far north when I could drive south for 25 miles and find a place that sold pasties.

    is white lithium grease ok for caliper slide pins?

    I went to the other "local" Napa today. Found some CRC sythetic lube (the one pictured in the first post). When I took it up to the counter one of the guys working there said to me, "That is some great stuff. I use it on all my brake jobs." I sort of laughed and said, "Yeah, I went to LOL Napa...

    is white lithium grease ok for caliper slide pins?

    I should update my profile. I no longer live in Chicago. Now, if I didn't have a bum shoulder or could throw lefty, I could throw a rock into the Upper Peninsula from where I am sitting. In order to get to Rhinelander, WI I have to drive south an hour. Also, this isn't just a parts counter...

    is white lithium grease ok for caliper slide pins?

    Mintex semi metallic (red box). I have the antisqueal compound. I know how to do the stuff, I just get a funny feeling when someone tells me to use the white lithium grease for a use that seems to me to be outside the realm of its useful range.

    is white lithium grease ok for caliper slide pins?

    Yup, that's the planned proceedure once I get the grease. eh, the nearest parts America store is 64 miles away and they won't ship that stuff. I'll have to check my other "local" Napa which is only 30 miles away. Yay for living in the middle of nowhere!

    is white lithium grease ok for caliper slide pins?

    I do not have the correct grease. I borrowed that picture. I made a list of all the greases that I have. That is not one of them.

    is white lithium grease ok for caliper slide pins?

    Anyone know where online I can get that kind of grease? I've looked around a couple different places and I've found nothing. That's why I ventured to my local parts store to purchase the incorrect grease. Thanks for all of your quality responses.

    is white lithium grease ok for caliper slide pins?

    It's not the main piston, but the slide pins that allow the pads to release from the rotor. The local parts store sold me some white lithium grease and says he does that to fix the cars in his shop. I purchased it anyway since I've been needing it for my bike applications, but was wondering if I...

    Saturn VUE Conundrum

    Honda said very negative things about Saturn using Dexcool and not the honda coolant in their things. Basically like they wouldn't cover warrenty claims for things caused by coolant issues (GM will still honor them, though). I don't have any documentation to support this anymore, but I read it...

    WOW

    One of the work trucks at my school proudly displayed (in sticker form) the modifications that were done. The first one I saw was for tornado. I was laughing so hard I couldn't read the rest of them.

    Remember Your First Kiss?

    this was turned into an inappropriate college project/video. The action was not a kiss, but it was oral. Otherwise, everthing is the same.
