When radials initially started being installed on cars in this country, the advise given concerning maintenance and rotation was to only rotate front to rear and not use the criss-cross pattern which was commonly used on bias belted tires. Is that still the accepted practice, or can we now go...

Does that no longer apply to radials in general? Can you criss-cross them as we did the old bias-belted donuts?

Which type of air filters are more effective, oil bath or pleated paper?

Which type of air filters are more effective, oil bath or pleated paper?

How does one know when to change filter elements? Can you rely on visual inspection? It would seem that strictly following mileage may not be reliable, considering differing driving (dust) conditions?

My dad is planing to purchase the following Harbor Freight generator: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=90300 I generally shy away from HF electrical items, but this one has a Robin Subaru electric start engine. What is the general consensus of Robin? Does anyone...

You have to have a little age on you to understand this joke!!

I ordered AUTORx on Tues and it was delivered yesterday. Great service Terry! Question # 1 - I removed my old filter and just poured the AUTORx into the new filter before replacing it. Only after I had lowered my truck did it occur to me to consider if I might be creating a problem by pouring...

Oops... My error - thanks Frank.

Thanks for the suggestions folks. I hadn't thought about the drain-back valve. I already have the HF cut-off tool. Good Idea.

OK, I'll bite. I have been lurking here for some time and I keep coming back to AutoRX. I finally took the plunge and ordered 4 bottles. I will initially use it in my '92 Mazda B-4000 with 135,000 miles. It currently runs fine and uses no oil between changes. I will pull the plugs and check the...

When Social Security was initiated, the intent was to supplement income lost upon the retirement or death of the primary wage-earner. Later that was expanded to include income lost due to the disability of the wage-earner to work. Why is it now that SSA must pay people who were never dependent...

Thanks for the replys. I went by my local Volvo dealer this afternoon to purchase a side marker light to replace a broken one. (As a side note, the cashier said to me "I can't believe someone would pay $43 for that little light!". I know what she means.) I asked the service manager about...

I have a 2001 Volvo V70 Cross Country (4WD) and have noticed transmission fluid stains on my driveway. I am unable to locate a dipstick for the tranny. How can my transmission fluid level be checked? My owner’s manual does not address this.

Is there significant advantage to using a synthetic oil compared to dino in 4-cycle lawn mower engines? I imagine if I ask for a brand recommendation I will stir up a hornet's nest, so I will just stick with the basic type (unless, of course someone has a strong feeling in this area). I live in...

I realize that this post is a bit off topic but still perhaps it can still be lubrication related. I have a Craftsman lawn tractor with a 17 (I think)hp Kohler engine which I purchased last spring. The owners' manual says that the speed control should be placed at a specific detent when mowing...

I have a Sears lawn tractor which I purchased late last year (replacing my 22 year old Murrey). It has a 16 hp Koeher OHV motor with a spin-on oil filter. Well, my problem is how do I change the filter without dumping a load of oil all over the engine, as the filter is mounted upside-down...

Last summer I bought a Sears lawn tractor with a Kohler OHV engine. The speed control has a detent to set the engine speed for 'mowing'. The speed seems a little high for my needs. I was always told that one shouldn't run a 4-cycle gas engine faster than needed to get the job done, as it would...
