Another example from priuschat's kabrady: "2006 - purchased new 03/2006 267,800 Miles Batteries, inc. 12v original Only work done has been the OEM scheduled maintenance Except for the first two oil changes I have used Mobil 1 Uses apx 1 qt oil every 4k Mainly drive highway miles - 65-80 mph...

The Prius has proven to be very reliable. There is a fellow on priuschat "2 fas 4 u" that has put over 430,000 miles on a Prius with the original hybrid battery, engine, electric motors and tranny. There are several other owners in the 200,000 to 300,000 mile range on the original battery...

How much does it cost? How old is it? The PCV for my Honda is less than $10 and I would not consider re installing it. The PCV for my Toyota is $15 and hard to change - again I would never reuse an old one. The PCV "system" on my BMW is over $100. I might consider cleaning it out and reusing...

M1 AFE 0W20 is a great oil for winter. Toyota 0W20 is another good choice.

Originally Posted By: d00df00d 5w-40 is an acceptable viscosity grade, but more important than the viscosity grade is that it meets the right performance specs. Look for something that carries BMW LL-01 or LL-98 approval. If you can't find that, look for something that meets ACEA A3. If you...

Originally Posted By: demarpaint Why not use Mobil 1 AFE 0W20 in the Ford, and 0W30 in the Chevy? Good oils, easy to get, no shipping or any other charges, and you can usually find them on sale as part of an Oil Change Special, or grab them in Walmart. +1 good advice I think the 0W20 is a bit...

My vote is for a full tank. I store my Z3 and lawnmower over the winter with a full tank of gas with the recommended amount of marine Stabil mixed in. The logic is - as the tank goes through temperature changes in storage any unfilled space will tend to breath. Breath out warm, breath in cold...

I would not bother with a UOA until the car has at least 20,000 miles on it. An early UOA will show high copper, iron and possibly lead which might freak you out. VOA is not needed. M1 0W40 is a very good product. Also, there is nothing wrong with leaving the first fill oil in for a while -...

someone in egypt got access to my yahoo account and emailed a viagra add to all of my contacts. Very embarrassing. I have no idea how they got access to my account. I think yahoo's security sucks. My solution was to delete all my contacts, change my password and quit using yahoo email 99% of...

If you are up to doing some work yourself, I would recommend a Z3. There is lots of detailed DIY information available online. These cars are fun but they do have a lot of minor issues. Check out the "true story" in the link below: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=878582...

I bought them last winter and had them studded for my 1994 Honda Accord. I live in northern BC and we get pretty severe winter conditions for 3 to 4 months per year. And my wife and I have run a variety of winter tires and all seasons over the past 23 years living here. Our take on the 231: -...

BMW Z3M Roadster Great cornering, enough torque to break the rear wheels loose and terrific sound from the straight six at redline.

Castrol IMF is working great in my 2000 Sienna - smoother shifts than maxlife that I was running for the past few drain and fills.
