I picked up someome sorta by mistake. 5 qt jug was gold like the UD I have been using, that WM didn't have. It said it was Dexos rated, and had a 7$ rebate sticker on it that doesn't look like it is for it. QS claims it has 50% syn base, d it was Dexos rated, and had a 7$ rebate sticker on it...

Can only go by if they meet SN, GL5, or Dexos1. Should be good if they do.

With positive pressure from any blowby, you may have gotten some oil to condense outside the motor. Cars used to have just a road tube to vent the blowby under the motor. If blowby was bad, you could see smoke coming from the pipe. Now it gets sucked into the motor to be burned.

Yeowl!!! Good Buy... Can get some Good Bys at WM. Once bought 5 Gal pails of paint there for 5$ ea. Bought all they had.))

I've noticed more problems with wires. The roughness was minor and hard to figure out. I had replaced the wires, but it didn't last long till problems again.

I can see maybe changing plugs if the electrodes were really erroded. Had a car with dual points, and when it would start running rough I would reset them. It was a pain to change them, and new ones didn't last long before they started to pit. I could get the motor smooth just opening the gap a...

I stopped changing them long ago, and only do when they stop working. Had a situation when with 10K mi on plugs I changed them. I cleaned and gapped them and tested them on a tester that had a meter that read Good, Fair, and Poor. They were in the poor zone. With about 1K mi on the new plugs I...

I hope so also. I am Not a fan of dealers or most mechanics. Don't like paying for work I have to do over right.

Check Pep Boys since they have a sale on tools. Got 2-11 piece combo open end/box wrench sets one metric and one standard for 5$ ea. One time I got 2 sets with a real nice 3/8" ratchet & maybe 20 sockets, half metric and half standard by Good Year Racing for 4$ ea. Another time I picked up a...

I'd go by how the plugs function and look with use. I had a car that fouled a couple OE plugs after 3K mi, and every 600 mi after that. The car had 1-4bbl, and the Co called for the same plugs that were in the 2-4bl police motor. With a lot of city driving they would foul. Dealer tuned the car...

It says, it activates the sequence control to push air out of the HCU.

Found a way to cycle the ABS without the dealer only Select Monitor scan tool or driving and braking on gravel. Grounding 2 connectors on the computer connector is said to cycle the ABS. The pressure bleeder should keep air from getting in.

I have an 07' Subaru Impreza, and the scan tool for it (Select Monitor) is Mighty expensive IF you could buy it. Only dealers are said to be allowed, and the cheapest I saw was 1600$. A pressure bleeder sounds like it would flush the ABS unit, and a lot cheaper. Saw a vid on You Tube on how to...

Want to change mt brake fluid with ABS. A pressure flusher looks like the way. Some say the ABS has to be cycled, but I wonder.
