I wonder how accurate this is. Just picked up one dated 17.01.25 that's in the bottle style of the Prestone ones. UPC 074804078107 matches your 1748103 MSDS. It doesn't list any 2eha, whereas the supertech dexcools show potassium 2eha and sodium 2eha. supertech dexcool:

jesus, I had been under the impression that gm/penzoil synchromesh was an alternative for 75w90/80w90 gear oil. All I know of it is that the vw guys swear by it, and it's worked extremely well on 3 vw's of mine. Hmm, perhaps I'll try that first since I still have a few quarts left over. Maybe...

I recently bought a 93 9000cs turbo 5sp, with an inoperable clutch. Was told it was diagnosed with a failed slave cylinder. So I pulled the tranny out, changed the clutch, pp, release bearing, slave, and find the master is also shot. Change that and now the car drives. However, after doing all...

lol lansing. i'm right next door. I personally feel it's alright of a car, but my friend and his parents do not want to dump any more money into the car.

I really have no deep skills, nor any tools necessary. #@$%! my tools don't even give me enough torque to remove the bolts to do my brakes. And it's 5'f outside

Hey, we're in central ny too. #@$%!. Looks like USMB is done with and NASIOC is down for maintenance right now. Car's got about 105k iirc. Temp gauge been to hot a few times, so I'd begin to question warping. What are the chances the gasket is only blown around one cylinder? If that's the...

I know this is more of an oil forum, but I figure you guys would be more knowledgeable than most places. That said, I can again imagine that you'd say to just do it right rather than try a bandaid solution. But here's the situation. It's my friend's car; a 97 legacy 2.5l i4. The car blew the...

Are there any solutions for glass lenses? I have a vw fox with 9004 lights and while I know 9004s are terrible beyond a doubt, I can't see anything at all at night. If it's raining or the road is the slightest bit wet, the lights do absolutely nothing. Even the highbeams are worse than the...

Has anyone not changed the oil filter and overflowed it? I bought a 1991 VW Fox a month ago with 99k. Did the oil change at 100k and have since done about 1000 miles. I live in an apartment complex and it's problematic for me to be doing work on the car with the landlords. Now I know you'll be...

I had a 95 toyota camry 4a. Used it to push a car (~2600lbs) up a very steep hill. Car had about 60k miles and was on original tranny fluid. After which it had horrid symptoms of a dying tranny / torque convertor. I added two quarts to overfill it for a short run and it seemed to mildly mildly...

I bit the teflon wax and boy was that a mistake. Nearly impossible to apply and horrid results. Then again I didn't do it on a hot enough day (was only about 60'f) but still. awful.
