This dealer where I get my vehicle(02 Tacoma) serviced for oil change told me that my rear shocks are leaking. They quoted me $400ish for replacement. Should I get the front shocks replaced at the same time? They haven’t told me anything about front shocks so I am assuming they are still ok and...

Would anyone recommend 10k OCI with 50% city/50% highway using M1 5w30 in the same engine? how about 30% city and 70% highway?

My 1996 Dodge work van B3500 5.2L V8 consumes about a quart every 1000 miles. It has approximately 255,xxx miles on it. The engine requires 10w30 and I have been putting Mobil1 10w30 extended performance and change it out twice a year. I just have to add a quart sometimes. Since I am out of...

I recently test drove Toyota Camry and some Subarus. I do not know about other car manufacturers but I noticed that these cars were not equipped with the engine temperature gauge. I was so puzzled when I first noticed it. The salesperson at a local Toyota dealer told me that in the winter...

I purchased an used 03 Silverado 1500HD 6.0L V8 with about 40,000 miles. What sort of oil should I use? I looked at the filter and it seemed really small compared to the size of the engine.

For those of you who use Castrol Syntec 5w30 or 10w30, what is your oil change interval?

AC on my Lexus LX450 has not been running cold since last year. I received a coupon for free AC check from a local Toyota dealer so I called them to see if they would check my Lexus. They said they would check it but when I got there after driving about 20 minutes, they would not perform the...

Is Pennzoil Dex III any good? It's only 4 dollars more expensive than Supertech and Walmart. Otherwise, I might just go with Valvoline or Mobil 1 synthetic.

With Mobil1 synthetic ATF never on sale unlike Mobil1 motor oil, I have always been hesitant to use them at $8.99 per quart at Advance Auto Parts. I guess I should just get the cheapest Dexron III ATF.

Cars I have hardly ever burn oil and I check the oil level once a month or so. I do not see other people checking their oil levels with new cars.

I know that motor oil formulations are different from company to company. Is it the case with the automatic transmission fluid? I've been using Pennzoil ATF Dexron-III most of the time. I want to try Dexron-III from Castrol, Valvoline, or SuperTech. I usually drain and refill once a year or...

I regret buying a 2wd truck. It's useless in the snow.
