This will be an oil change to last me through the winter. Will i be ok running it, considering it is a high quality synthetic?

I got 5 quarts of 10w30 amsoil from a friend. MY car, 97 z28, asks for 5w30. and i usually put 5w30 or 0w30 synthetic. Is the 10w30 fine for my car and will i notice any difference between the two weights. Ive been told that i can return them at autozone without a receipt.

I painted a few panels on my car and i didnt realize that when masking, overspray would get througha blanket onto my hood. A ton of overspray got on my hood and windshield. I was able to clean up the windshield with steel wool. I am having a problem with the hood however. I tried clay but there...

I am leaking oil in my 97 z28, possibly an intake manifold leak. I plan on getting it fixed once i know exactly what the problem is but... I checked my oil and i am down 1 quart. My car has never been an oil consumer so i am definentally losing it. I filled the car with 5 quarts 5w30 durablend...

I have a 97 z28 with the stock 10 bolt rear end. It has limited slip. In the past i put that gm additive and added about 1.5 quarts of Coastal 75w90 lube. I am wondering if the additives availible at autozone are sufficient?

I need to change my rear end fluid. I was wondering if the rear end additive at autozone/murrays is the same as this stuff: http://shbox.com/1/lsa.jpg I used the gm stuff last time but it was like 10$ for a little bottle. I was wondering if i could use the stuff at autozone and just fill the...

I have 2 cracks in plastic i would like to fix. 1st, is in the interior somewhere on one of the panels. It is a small crack where the piece broke into 2. I have tried Plastic epoxy as well as jbweld, both cracked soon after again. I applied the products right too. Roughed up, cleaned with...

I have some stock rims from a 97 car. 3 of them are in good condition but there are a few indents in the design and the indents tarnished. Also, a few of em have something really brown in the indents. Is there anyway I can get them good as new? Is this tarnish removable or does it mean that most...

People do a/c deletes often on lt1s to save some weight and make extra room. I could find it on the boards and i wouldn't mind buying more than one if the first doesnt work.

I plan on buying used parts and doing it myself because that is the way I do most of my projects. I know the risks and how to avoid them. I heard that blown compressors like to spill their internals throughout the system so I heard there are other parts that usually need to be replaced as well...

I was planning on deleting it but this last summer weak made me change my mind, i definentally need it at this point. Im not sure if the condenser is bad. I know the clutch/compressor is probably shot. Im not familiar on which part is which and what does what but i figure id be able to replace...

The a/c on my lt1 seized up and turned red hot. Im gonna assume that it has been blown. I want to replace the system just to have it for emergencies so I am gonna get a used setup. What are all the parts I should replace and what should I do to get it in working order? I am not too familiar with...

I did a hardtop to ttop conversion on my camaro. It all went good and is now weatherproof so I want to finish up all the asthetics. First off, I had to use black silicon glue/sealant to glue on some trim to my windshield. I put in a bunch to make sure it had enough for an ample seal. It said to...

I got em mounted pretty good, I tried wetsanding and it came out ok with 1000,1500,2000, and 3m buffing compound. I was wondering what i could do to make them look good as new? Should i just keep using the rubbing compound or are there any other good tricks? I was thinking about clear coating...

I bought some AVS headlight blackouts off someone and the adhesive was used and doent work . What should i use to stick em on so they wont come off even at highway speeds. BTW, i used brak kleen to clean off one of them cuz some tape from the package left residue taht didnt want to come off...

I was looking at some of my old waxes i had in the garage and a few of them said they were cleaner waxes. I was wondering what exactly does this mean? Does it mean that it cleans oxidation or just the car overall? Like if you use a cleaner wax, do you have to wash the car or can you just...

Dont get the black rhino ramps. They make 2 kinds i believe one like 2 tons for cars and a 3ton one for trucks. My 2 ton ones cracked. Its also very hard to get up on them, when i put them next to my wheels, and push the gas, it will usually shoot one of them 10 feet forward instead of staying...

I got the 1le bar put on with the energy suspension poly bushings. They don't squeak at all and It feels a lot stabler on turns. Any point in changing my rear bushings? They are the stock rubber ones and the rubber is in bad condition, I think i may do that next. They said not to grease on the...

Thanks, ill try this stuff next time i get a chance. Its not too bad just a few spots... Yeah the claybars definentally wrecked now so i tossed it. It smeared the stuff like crazy when i used it. Fortunately, i was almost ready to throw that one anyways.

Alright well, I had my car up on jacks and I noticed that the passenger tie rod looks like it was on the end of the threads. Im guessing they ran out of adjustment and based the rest of the alignment off of that. What can I do to fix this? What do you think is bent? do you think if i got a new...
