    High Mileage Mazda 3, Engine clean, oil for long term

    6% fuel trim is fine. The computer is still in control. Any parts changed will most likely be of lesser quality than the originals.

    New Piston Heavier Than Original Piston

    The oil piston is cracked and missing material in the lands right? Did you weigh another old one to compare? Summit actually thinks someone will buy a single piston/rod for $250? $1500 for a set?

    Ep140 alternative?

    Pretty much all gear oil says extreme pressure on the label. I have used 75w-140 in both my 3 point tiller and walk behind for years.

    Caught by surprise- BOA savings account interest rates

    You buy a $50k bill for say 49800, depends on the rate at auction. The treasury department puts the $200 "profit" back into your saving account each renewal. You can still pay the loan out of that savings account.

    Caught by surprise- BOA savings account interest rates

    4 week T-bills are still around 4.25% and not subject to state tax. IMHO any "savings account" money should be invested here.

    4R100 2002 Excursion 7.3 Diesel 4x4 transmission fluid?

    I have been using it for a while maybe 40K. Before that I used generic Dex/Merc. I chose the Valvoline Import since is is synthetic and $18-20 a gallon. I like that it claims Mercon compatible and not Mercon V. People will say V is fine and it might be. My manual ,written when Ford was on the...

    4R100 2002 Excursion 7.3 Diesel 4x4 transmission fluid?

    It should say on the dipstick but you can get a manual off ebay. My 2000 calls for Mercon and prohibits Mercon V. Later they claimed V was ok. I use Valvoline Import. https://sharena21.springcm.com/Public/Document/18452/66447451-fe75-e711-9c10-ac162d889bd3/56a3517a-e29c-e711-9c10-ac162d889bd3

    eBay Fleetguard LF16002

    With that price I suspect they are fake. Can you see the white media through the center? I am down to two wire backed XG2s in my stash.

    Fram XG8A C&P

    I bought it about a year ago after it had been sitting for a few years for $500. Engine was ticking so I had the valve covers, timing cover and oil pan off swapping the timing set. One of the tensioners came apart(hence the oil pan removal to check the pickup). It was clean inside. I did two...

    Fram XG8A C&P

    Came off 2004 Jeep GC 4.7 260k 5k on filter. 6 qts Mobil 0w-40+500ml rislone. Same filter and oil mix when back in. I was surprised by how much stuff was in the pleats with nothing in the can. Not sure if the oil or the rislone is doing the cleaning.

    1999 Avalon Random misfire Random Cylinder Misfire P300,P301, P305

    It shows wheel speeds, reads codes and runs the ABS valves. I drive old junk so not sure about transmissions.

    1999 Avalon Random misfire Random Cylinder Misfire P300,P301, P305

    I use a cheap $50 topdon topscan run off an old tablet. It has bidirectional controls also. Only downside is the $50 annual fee.

    I would suspect the O2/AF sensor based on the info presented. 30% lean on that bank, smells rich and 17 year old sensor. Can you get real time data?

    Added coolant filter to Jeep 4.0L TJ

    Thanks, I am in the same boat you were. Bought a 4.7 WJ about a year ago and have had to flush whole system 3 times since the heat stops working from crud. First time I pulled the block drains I had to drive a punch through the rust on both sides to get any coolant at all to come out.

    226k mile 2500HD 6.0l

    That 158 is a rich code. What were the other 7 codes? The 430 is a cat code.

    Added coolant filter to Jeep 4.0L TJ

    Did/do you still have good heat at idle? I saw a couple comments on another site claiming these restrict flow too much at idle.
