Years ago Hyundai came out with a TSB that stated 5w-40 oil should be used in the Gamma 1.6l turbo engines if you want it to live. Since then I have been using 5w-40 oil and have always done the severe duty oci 3,500 miles. Out of the two of the Gamma 1.6l engine vehicles we own, one is 72k...

I believe Hondabrite is the same thing as S100 total cycle cleaner. Not 'similar' but the exact same thing rebadged.

Ok. Off to buy a cheap scan tool. No more accounts and BS for me.

I bought a 2007 RK 96ci with the 6 speed transmission and 15,000 miles on it. I use it for doing small circles in between orange cones. Got Lucas primary chaincase fluid in it, that gives me a consistent clutch feel. The transmission has Redline MT90 GL4 in it. Still has the neutral to...

Never had one. I rode and raced dirt bikes and motorcycles since 1983. Crashed a lot and broke several bones, tore things, broken back too. The airbag *may* have saved me from a broken back on the motocross track but... unless it can prevent over extension of the spine it would not have. The...

I inherited a Lemur brand Blue Driver OBDII diagnostic tool that plugs in to the OBD port to read codes. For the past 10 or so years I have had the thing I have been able to check DTC codes and look at specific areas of ecm operations. I have the Blue Driver app on my phone. A few weeks ago...

Any time I see "women owned" anything I shy away from buying it. Why? Because that vehicle has seen the most potholes, the longest if any oil changes, the most worn brake pads as they accelerate toward a stop sign then brake at the very last second. These vehicles are made to accelerate the...

I am about to try this oil in the Chevy flat tappet 350 instead of the VR1 10w30 that is in it now. The VR1 seems thin now that the weather is hot. 10-12 psi oil pressure at idle. Above idle it jumps to 50 psi.

Ran out of gas on a Kawasaki KX80 years ago. It was a dirt bike with no gauges. I was a few miles from home in the woods trails when I figured out the gas feed selector was on/off/on.... not on/off/RESERVE. lolollll>lol> I walked, and walked.. pushing the bike in neutral all the way home...

Should I be using something other than the Four Seasons 36674?

Chris you are saying that even though these aftermarket switches have a screw in them they are not adjustable by some amount? I have this exact switch on the car now.

Got a 84 GM G body with a/c. Converted to r134a but never got the system pressues exactly where I want them. Sanden SD5H14 compressor, everything is new. New lines, condenser, evap, drier, clutch cycling switch. I cannot get the system to stop the compressor at 21psi, then switch on a...

PJ1 super clean or Maxima chain wax is the way to go. It dries clean. Ride the bike and get the chain hot. Yes, hot... as soon as you stop for the day, spray the chain good. Then let it set up overnight without moving the bike. Next day, the wax won't fling off. Eventually, you will have...

Tried 10w30 Rotella T4 in my Chevy 350 flat tappet cam engine. The Rotella had better hot oil pressure at idle than the current Valvoline 10w-30 VR1 I have in it now. The cam still has all of it's lobes so I guess both oils are working. 10 psi hot with the VR1 does not install confidence...

So the new "2-EHA" will eat old gaskets but the old green conventional coolant is fine with the old gaskets?

I was in awe of the $6.99 price tag and failed to read I would need to change it every year. The test strips are more expensive than two of these in concentrate. I would be interested in testing with the strip kit to see how long it can go. This is a weekend car not a daily driver as well.

I would like to know too. I have a crate Chevy 350 that has been in service since 2017. Currently it has the Rural King Providence green 50/50 coolant. On the bottle it says 'good for 12 months 12,000 miles' in small print. I didn't notice this until after installing this coolant recently...

Carver Model C laboratory bench press. 11 ton capable, sits on my workbench. Paid $40 at a flea market years ago. Got the anvils for too.

LOL. I believe I would need to be CCW to visit those places!

Advance auto the workers are usually engaged in some type of open debate/argument while customers are in the store. Autozone, gang members work the registers. O'reilly a range of island of misfit toys rotate through. Napa, old men or hot blonde girls. Seriously, some of the hottest women...
