Being I know nothing about your vehicle, if you bought it new or used, or if it had been wrecked and repaired. I was trying to figure out what could be going on with it. You didn't say if the cooling system had been serviced, so like everyone else I was just throwing darts. If your vehicle has...

Hmm. Have you ever changed the fluid, and flushed out the radiator?. Or given the fins a good cleaning?. I've only changed out a thermostat if it didn't get the engine hot enough, or caused the engine to overheat. Has the radiator ever been changed?. If it's a aftermarket one, it might have a...

I change both the engine and cabin filter on my wifes Equinox about 6 months ago. I used ones I bought off e-bay so I'm sure they were some no name filters. I was surprised the engine filter was alot cleaner then the cabin filter. By alot.,,

There was a post about 3 years ago on here that said Rotella t-6 , never had that JASO approval. The only way to tell is to look at a current bottle for the approval symbol. And pretty much any oil your thinking about using. Alot of oils will say " Meets or exceeds" the spec. But give the bottle...

Back in the day when most vehicles had points and carbs, just about any brand plug would foul and stop firing. Modern ignitions have made that a thing of the past. But if you still have ignition wires, and old style coils, when they start to fail the plugs quit doin their thing. Over the years...

If you have whats called a "Battery Tender", it can be plugged in 24/7, to keep the starting battery at full charge when not in use. The battery for your generator is about the same size as a motorcycle battery, and once it has the battery at full charge, it goes dormant and just monitors the...

Recycling pretty much everything we use on a daily basis has come a long way, in the last 50 years. Except for tires. There were many plans for them, but what really happens to them?. I've watched videos where they were going to be used to supplement asphalt for paving roads, what ever happened...

Use real foam pipe insulation, it will work better than a pool noodle.,,,

Ok. looks like you need to slow down and read what I posted. Maybe you don't realise that Harley is not a Japanese or European manufactured motorcycle, it's a American brand of motorcycle. And lumping Harley's into Jaso specs looked like your not sure about what your saying. And why do you think...

Please quote Harley's Jaso spec. I said in my post I wasn't sure what Indian specs. and let us know where you found that spec.,,

In the marine world, they use whats called "Fogging oil". With the engine running, you spray this oil into the intake until it smokes up a storm. About a 1/2 a can will normally do the trick. This oil clings to the valves and cylinder walls. It's purpose is for long term storage. I've seen an...

JASO specs only refer to Japanese motorcycles. Harley makes their own specs which are very vague. I don't know about what Indian, they probably sell oil that says "oil for use in Indian motorcycles". I used oil in the Kawasaki I had that had a jaso 2, API rating. It was a 2 cylinder water cooled...

Replace the spark plugs every 10-12 k miles.,,,

But what would happen if you used something else ?. Like from whatever the dealer uses in 50 gallon drums, with no name brand on it. You would never know the difference.,,

Got any personal, long term real world proof your $27 esp, makes anything work better ?.,,

I own 2 GM vehicles that were made to run 5w30 wt oils. One eats that wt oil to the tune of 1 qt,every 750 miles. The other doesn't consume any oil between changes. The differences between them is, one is a 4 cyl and holds 5 qts of oil, and the other is a 6 cyl, and holds 6 qts of oil. One thing...

Have you cleaned the area where the flapper seats ?. Make sure you don't have any calcium buildup there. Another solution would be to buy replacement flappers from a real plumbing supply house, instead of Home Depot or lowe's.,,

Why wouldn't you just change the filter at 5k, and run it another 5k in the original engine ?.,,

I don't believe there is any law in existence that requires, or forces an Insurance company to insure any vehicle that is known or has a history for catching fire. What should be done is , not allowing a vehicle that is known for catching fire, to be sold in our country. Or allowed over our...

Many moons ago ,I bought a '02 Ford Explorer used with about 60k on the clock. It did come with the owners manual, and it said to change the trans oil around 115. I did it at 100k. And wouldn't you know 2 years ago with just at a little past 250k on it, the trans went out on it.,,
