With car prices on the rise coupled with longer lending terms and rates...this seemed appropriate! Enjoy! :LOL: Ed

I thought this was interesting, so I thought I'd pass it along. https://pqia.org/amsoil-sae-5w-30-motor-oil/ Ed

Here's an interesting YouTube video on using B-12 to clean injectors: https://bit.ly/2ka3Iv3 Here's an archived web page about fuel injector cleaners and they say, ""The good thing about Berryman’s product is that it’s solvent based whereas most other cleaners are detergent based."-...

Berryman B-12 is great stuff. I use it every so often when I fill up my cars and the motors run noticeably smoother. I've used B-12 to successfully clean a fuel line that had completely gelled up on an old VM Beetle my Sister had me restore! It's good stuff. If I remember correctly, each can...

Thank you. Where did you find this? Ed

I always find it interesting when manufacturers like BMW, Porsche, Mercedes or VW introduce a new oil specification because their requirements are so stringent. I was poking around the Mercedes website and, if I understand it correctly, they now have a MB 229.81 specification. Source: "Engine...

For which filter? Ed

In my experience, a tire shop (Les Schwab) will not repair a tire if the damage is within 1 inch of the closest sidewall. Ed

I agree with the mindset..."If it's free...you're not the customer...you are the product". In some form or fashion, I think this is accurate. To me...this is yet another of the endless list of apps, devices, that is silently gathering information about me. It's hard enough to maintain your...

Have you looked at the "Ravenol Motor Oil SMP" (Approval: BMW Longlife-04, MB-Approval 229.51; Porsche C30; VW 504 00 / 507 00)? https://bit.ly/3m0VUeE and https://bit.ly/3KBYZfA Ed

I didn't know there were any 15 year old kids that actually wanted to work. Who knew? Ed

1.) Isn't "Meets or exceeds" different than "Approval(s)" in the sense that it's a "self-certification"? 2.) Where did you find this data sheet? I can't find it. Ed

I'm sure you'll get a lot of feedback on this question. In this video by Pat Goss titled "Choosing the correct engine oil is critical to engine life with Pat Goss from Goss Garage" ( https://bit.ly/2khKNi7 ), Pat says that (too) thick oil will "dam up" behind parts (at appx. 3:00 minutes into...

It seems like most often people install a "Big 3" (or 4, 5, etc.) electrical upgrade (https://bit.ly/3HqEj6U and https://bit.ly/3wI826i) because they're running high output alternators, etc., and/or they're simply trying to improve the efficiency of their vehicle electrical system. In my case...

I personally have never used it, but I've heard good things about NHOU Protective Coatings - https://nhoilundercoating.com/ Ed

There isn't anything that comes out of a can that's "health food"...shall we say. Make it yourself, in a crockpot. That's what I'm doing, today in fact, and it's a snap! You just have to decide what "viscosity" (pun intended) you want it to be. If you don't add anything to thicken the chowder...

I like their quality but I stopped using them because their filtration is good but not great (https://bit.ly/3fV9ubs) and I think they're overpriced. There are better options available like the Fram Ultra. Ed

That's helpful, thank you. So, as a general rule, you replace batteries that won't measure 80% of the original capacity? Is that roughly accurate? Ed

I have a couple of basic questions... 1.) Since all batteries will slowly discharge, how you determine if/when you're battery is "holding a charge"? I know that the ability of your car battery to hold or not hold a charge is one of the things you would consider before deciding to replace a...
