I had to buy a small tub of CRC synthetic brake grease for a caliper job a month ago. Now that I have no other caliper pins that need to be lubed, is it possible to use this synthetic grease on spark plugs, EGR pipes, etc. I don't see why not, right??

Originally Posted By: P20565R16 I know the signs to look for is milky mustard under cap, and at the oil itself. Check the coolant for little copper or aluminum "bits" to seal the head, radiator, heater core, etc.... How much would a rebuilt motor run you??? $2,000? Are the tires worth $2,800?

Here ya go, Overkill....

I understand on a technical forum like this... people like to be as ANALytical as possible. But it's obviously much easier to say and to type, "LED TV" when one really is speaking/typing about an "LED backlit LCD TV". All I know is that I *definitely* don't want a plasma TV [or at least not...

Originally Posted By: dja4260 I have like 10 extra tubes laying around. Shame that you're not closer. I've gone tubeless...... I heard that the "goo" must be reapplied every 6 months, which is the only reason that's kept me from trying the tubeless method. I've had no problems with rim strips...

Originally Posted By: Donald Doesn't the owners manual list viscosity by temp. Seems to me all you need is the projected temp to base it on over the next oil change. And when the manufacturer back specs the recommended oil, who do you believe?? The manufacturer? Or the manufacturer?

I started looking for dyno tests that changed spark plugs only, and there were a few tests done by SparkPlugs.com that can be found on various forums. The results mostly confirmed that, for the most part, there is a fairly wide margin of error in plugs. So dyno tests won't really be able to tell...

Castrol seems to have the best "Which oil should I use?" site that I've seen so far, mainly for its wide range of temperature applications... http://www.castrol.com/castrol/sectionbodycopy.do?categoryId=9024084&contentId=7073092 But are there other sites like this?? The Castrol site lacks a...

Here's another FREE vin check that seems to be fairly comprehensive, in testing "Theft Record" and "Total Loss Record"... National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) "Vin Check" They also point to the "National Motor Vehicle Title Information System" @ vehiclehistory.gov, which provides a report...

This was discussed in another thread... WPP represents the maker of the bottle. Warren Petroleum just makes the bottle. WNE represents another maker of the bottle. G represents another maker of the bottle. My Walmart only had WPP for the big jugs and WNE for the little jugs. Or...

I would stick to two oil changes per year.... Amsoil 5w-30 in April and October, or some interval like that. There should be no need to change Amsoil as often as you are doing. It should easily be able to handle 10k miles per OCI. If you are worried about contaminated oil, then consider...

Not sure how true this is, but someone told me that Texaco was the only Tier 1 gas station. Chevron and Exxon were Tier 2. Anyway... my preference is to go to the "non-branded" station, which actually has NO ETHANOL.

Starting just 8 or 9 months ago, Mississippians are allowed to get an "enhanced carry" sticker on their CCW licenses. This enhanced carry sticker permits us to carry ANYWHERE, except for active courtrooms and police stations. Courthouses are OK. Schools are OK. Even businesses that post "No Guns...

Hmm... I was liking the Dunlops, but it was mostly because of the lifetime rotation, balancing, etc. I don't suppose Walmart would do that "lifetime" package for new tires that I bring to them, would they?? It's strange that they say it's a $11/tire service... because when I called them a...
