Most gas is pretty good, especially top tier. If price same, I'd go for Chevron Techron or Texaco Techron first, and Shell next. Even Majors gas can vary depending on refineries in area. I used to sell Exxon gas that came from a crummy Shell refinery in West Texas, but usually Shell is good...

I have a 07 Mazda RX8 with only 36k miles. I mostly drove it 1k miles a few times a year to HPDE track. It seemed to start chirping the left front when turning left. Later I noticed a wheel weight might be missing. After 6 years of old worn Hankook Ventus V12 tires, I put new Michelin PSS...

What burns me up is the US monopoly of phones. We travel out of US, and can't turn our Verizon off, and retain phone number. Really irritating. I have to call and beg for discount once a month. We have 2 Galaxy note 5's because my wife likes them. One is Verizon locked for US, and one is...

I'd use a 5w30 or 0w40. Never any gear oil in motor oil. STP is old way to get VI improvers in, like making oil 10w40. Mobil 1 oils tend to run thin for stated weight. I run Mobil 1 0w40 in a BMW n20 2.0 turbo, and RX8 Mazda

When oils didn't have very good additives there was a fear of putting a good HDX oil with detergents in. If the oil cleaned the gunk, it could come off in quarter inch size pieces perfect for plugging oil drainback areas. Stick with your good Valvoline syn, and never add anything to a makers...

Go to Honda forums. There's a TSB 04-042 having to do with updating computer to fix codes P0301, P0305, and / or P0302, P0306, and possible P0300.

Plug router into arriss box and turn on tv to set wireless. You can get telvised channels on Directv $35/month and with $25 hd antena get some free local channels. Google Roku setup and find all you need. I can watch direct TV on computer while wife watches other directv in other room.

Everybody is hung up on ride height when putting shocks and springs. I had Mazda dealer put Bilstein B12 kit on my Rx8. Even raised fender clearance to 14.25 inches all around. I found one , the front left at 14.5 inches, so jacked up by control arm, and retighened to get them all even.

Belts are flexible since they are woven like fabric. When tire hits something hard, one side of steel lets go inside, and belt rolls conical making tire want to turn easier in one direction. Three main types of tread separation : Internal so hard to notice, exterior tread thrown off while...

I'm talking about any rough asphalt texture on Interstate, and you can't dodge all pot holes at 70 mph. We were selling those average oem replacement tires like 78 series with max cold inflation of 35psi. On my own vehicles even not my brand, they seemed to get a bump (separation) when I ran...

I've sold thousands of tires, and I was sure that pull on front of Stratus was alignment. Nope,belt on inside turned loose on one side. Rough roads can separate tire belt so it bounces and pulls.

Houston broke its rain record with approx 60 inches. Maybe 1million cars totalled between Harvey and Irma. Any used car in US should be suspected of being water logged! Should be good way to get exotic engine swap.

I use Mobil 1 FS 0w40, since specs are great, and cost is very cheap for what it is. New Life cost 50%+ more for guys to run a year. I'm coming upon 7k miles and 7 years with FS 0w40 on a Mazda, so I'll change and get uoa.

My 18 year old brother had a 65 Ss396 Impala in 69. He went home for lunch, and I 17, was still playing cards with friends. I misunderstood that I'd lock office, and friends bring me home. I just get in his Impala with key in it and drive about a block. Engine keep up that tic tic of lifters...

I live in West Texas with Toltag on car. Several DFW freeways that are toll are clear enough. Hotels are cheaper on weekends, and the business crowds are less.

Midland Tx, a booming oil town has great police and citizens. They send a volunteer Handicap Parking Ticket crew out all the time. I need a placard, and forgot to put it up, and had to go get it dismissed. I hardly ever see someone trying it, but it think a few families might have a disabled...

Wait! If the right side had no grip, why did it dig in to flip?

The oil in my RX8 Mazda is 6.5 years and 6500 miles old. I guess I'll break down, and change it in the spring at 7 years. It's got Mobil 1 0w40 in it, and I'll test it too make a point that time is mostly irrelevant as long as no known coolant loss or other contamination. I've read others...

I stop to let em cross if it looks like they can without holding me up. If coming from a right driveway, and they want in front of me, I'll give space, but they have a small window of time to give me eye contact, and take it or I fill since light is about to change. My goal when driving is to...
