    Lube Gard Red 10 oz in a high mileage 4L60E

    THIS ☝️☝️ The best thing to do on 4l60e’s. These 4l60e’s just need fluid and filter changed every 30,000 miles and they run for a long time. Just don’t use Overdrive when towing anything.

    Marvel Mystery Oil fixed my compression and misfire issue

    Thanks, I did not know that. I just want to make sure my spider injectors stay clean because they are notorious for sticking.

    Marvel Mystery Oil fixed my compression and misfire issue

    I have a 2001 Chevy Blazer with the 4.3 Vortec. It only has 107k miles. I bought it with 103,300 ish miles. So about 2 months ago, random misfires started occurring. I've been having random misfire issues on cylinder 1,2,3, and 4 for about two months. These cylinders are the two front...

    Just bought some Goodyear Wrangler Radials. How are these tires?

    I just bought some Goodyear wrangler Radials 235/75r/15. I believe goodyear discontinued these tires about 2 years ago. These are actually called Goodyear Wrangler Radial. NOT wrangler A/T, or whatever else wrangler tires they have. I bought it at Walmart and I’ll have them put it on my...

    Is 5w20 Dexos becoming obsolete?

    I would say 5w20 is obsolete. The cold viscosity of the 0w20 isn’t that much thinner than 5w20, but on most oils, it is slightly thinner and the cold pour point is lower. What most people don’t think about is the cold viscosity of any oil is still too thick. So I don’t see a reason why...

    Real world MPG with 5w-40 vs 0w-20

    My 2001 Chevy S10 Balzer with the the SBC based 4.3 v6 Vortec is recommended to use 5w30. It says it right on the oil fill cap and the owners manual. I’ve seen so many of these engines last 400k miles with 5w30, 20w50, 15w40, you name it. These engines just run forever even with lots of abuse...

    GM 4.3 Vortec Balance shaft rattle

    I got a 2001 Chevy Blazer 4.3 Vortec. 104k miles on her. Bought it at 103k miles, I’m the second owner. When I was in the process of buying this and going on test drives, I swear I did not hear this rattle sound. Maybe I just didn’t hear it because I got excited about buying a 2001 GM with...

    Oil Leaking from Drain Plug

    Try a new crush washer, and just put some Teflon tape or some thread sealer on the threads when you put the bolt back on. Just a thin layer of it will do. It will never leak again. Might not even need a new crush washer. I know Teflon tape isn’t recommended for this application, but it will...

    New 2023 Corolla and 0W-8 oil

    Dealers do make money on warranty work. The dealer has to submit a request to get an approval for the warranty work. Sometimes, the manufacturer will say they won’t pay for certain things on a certain car. Then the dealer has to go back and forth with the manufacturer and that takes time, and...

    New 2023 Corolla and 0W-8 oil

    I work at a huge ford dealership, and I know we will do anything we possibly can to void the warranty, and I mean anything. It’s the truth. I’m not a technician or a “lube tech”, I don’t do any hands on repairs, but I know the truth because I work for the service department and I know everybody...

    New 2023 Corolla and 0W-8 oil

    You’ll be fine with 0w16. You can even run 0w20. There won’t be any problems. Your Toyota doesn’t really need 0w8. It’s all about CAFE. But for warranty reasons, I would just stick to 0w8. A dealership will do anything to void your warranty, so just use the recommended 0w8 until your warranty...

    Blue Devil Rear Main Sealer additive

    Has anyone ever used this? What’s it made of? How does it work? My 2001 chevy blazer 4.3 Vortec with 103k miles had a timing cover leak. It was never enough to actually leave drips on the ground, but the bottom left corner of the timing cover was leaking. I tried tightening the bottom left...

    Chineese motorcycles

    I would buy it if china can make some cruisers similar to Harley Davidsons. That would be really cool. Just imagine a Chinese ohv pushrod 250cc bike that actually looks cool. Harley Davidsons are out of control with their prices, especially given how old school and outdated their technology is...

    Post your latest oil change

    I’m gonna keep the transmission stock. A Lot of people add shift kits and vette servos on these and that causes stress due to harder shifts. Keeping it stock is the best because who cares about slow shifts on a 2001 Chevy truck. I don’t. But crossing my fingers 🤞. I got lots of friends that beat...
