Once you go to the oil, you’re committed because nothing other than oil will stick. Look for an oil type coating thicker than fluid film if you’re looking for a change. If you’re starting from scratch and it’s a fairly new vehicle, minimal rust, go with wax. Less maintenance. Less touchups. Less...

I’m a believer in cosmoline wax. CRC Heavy Duty Corrosion inhibitor in an aerosol can with an extension wand, or if you want to shoot it from a spray gun check out the cosmolinedirect.com website for sprayable versions of cosmoline.

It’s probably me but I find him hard to listen to after a few minutes. Maybe it’s the raspy voice or maybe it’s because I’m getting old and lack the focus I once had. It seems like he keeps branching off the main subject until I have no idea what he’s talking about. I’m sure it’s all related...

I don’t remember that. But I am in my 60s so it’s possible I’m starting to forget things.

Did rain X update their product line recently? I noticed that the rubber blades are yellow. https://www.rainx.com/products/wiper-blades/

I’m very familiar with the 2AZ – FE. I had one for several years that went over 200K before it chipped a valve. I’m assuming it was from deposit buildup from oil consumption. I was never able to get it better than 1 quart every 2500 no matter what I did including kreen. I found out later the...

All the TGMO love over the years.. gone with one dipstick pic..

That’s how penicillin and potato chips were created.

Thought I would mention a problem with oil consumption on a Chevrolet equinox 2.4 that I was mostly able to resolve recently. The 2010–2017 GM Ecotec 2.4 has a serious problem with oil consumption. In some cases worse than what you’re experiencing. Many claim it’s the piston rings GM used. They...

Oil change on a 2013 equinox 2.4. Unscrew the filter housing cap and the oil filter stays behind. That’s odd usually, it’s snapped into the cap. I didn’t think anything about it just pulled it out. It was when I went to install the new filter that I realized the endcap was still snapped into in...

I’ve had both. The V6 does not appear to have the same startup VVT actuator lock pin rattle as the 2.4. I don’t hear it in the 2.5 anymore so it could be resolved. I have a Chrysler 3.2 V6 and it does it bad. Every start warm or cold. I hate that noise.

I’m in So NH. They must be making a pitstop because the past week I went from the normal 2 to more than 10. I also have two woodpeckers that like the feeders.

I actually use dawn platinum blended into my hair shampoo. I’m convinced it’s stopped my hair loss. Getting rid of the DHT and oil

I put in a Franklin Mono Drive. It’s a really neat system. Gives you constant pressure. No 40/60 fluctuation.

Seems like all the brands are adding some type of lube. I hate it. All I can find without oil is ivory

It’s a liquid so it’s going to raise the level a little bit. Could be part of the reason why they made it a concentrate, so it will fit if you’re mostly full.

Did you get it off?

I have not used it for an entire oil change but I have used it for 500–1K at the end of an oil change interval. It definitely made the engine quieter. I’m not sure what it did for sludge and varnish. The oil was already dark.

So all I really have to do is replace the guts? KOHLER GP876851

Can someone tell me who makes this shower/tub mixer valve? I need to replace it. can no longer maintain a constant temperature. Is this something that is commonly soldered or screwed in like replacing the sink faucet?
