    M1 15w50 too much for a 1984 Ford 302?

    Might be ok if there are only warm starts. 15/50 is to heavy for this engine in the stock form. Not sure where you live but one very cold winter start this oil will not flow.

    Why do they still use the rubber undercoating on cars?

    NO it came from the dealership at a price. Ford has never applied this at the factory and never will.

    Truck got backed into while parked...insurance questions.

    In Michigan if someone hits a parked car its there insurance pays all the damages. If your state laws are similar your vehicle should be fixed for free no need to notify your insurance co at all. Although current wait times at a collision center can run in to weeks or longer.

    Chinese botnet disrupted by the FBI - consumer devices affected

    Asus routers are affected. In fact most of the AX models are. Not sure if they have been patched as Asus firmware changelogs are not very informative. If anyone is concerned reboot the router every few days this infection will not survive a reboot.

    Stopping brake hose flow - tool/fitting?

    Honda dealers all use vice grips. Many also let the calipers hang by the brake hose while doing a break job. I would assume this is common practice all over. Want something done right do it yourself or watch the tech if possible.

    Phaser rattle with pennzoil

    Never had any luck with PP or PUP in my Honda it was noisy. Drained it out and it looked thinner than water at 1000 miles. Replace with Castrol EP and all was good again. Using Valvoline R&P now and it runs very well so far.

    Dealership Employees Caught on Dashcam Abusing GR Corolla

    This is common practice at any dealership i have ever worked for. Mostly nobody cares. Porters test drive cars for mechanics all the time and yes if it's a faster vehicle they can and will trash on it it's just the name of the game. If they get caught and the customers bitches enough they may...

    How bad is it to have oil on your spark plug threads?

    Seen this a million times with Honda engines. It's the spark plug tube seals and yes once it fills with enough oil it will cause a misfire. Easy fix though replace tube seals and valve cover gasket. If you have a cam plug seal replace that while your in there as well. Done..
