    Reading spark plugs. Too hot?

    Heart range never crosses brand to brand. I might suggest trying the stock Champion listing and comparing. Those look OK though.

    Pureone tear and failure.

    Here is the PL24011 from my most recent change last week. Filter was in service 7.5 months with PU (old formula) for 5,700 miles. This was a tough winter here in NE Ohio.

    Effects of hard acceleration on a cold engine

    I'm not sure how hard or easy it is on the engine(s) but the knock sensor on my Regal is programmed to start listening at a ECT of 140 F. I presume that other manufactures have something similar so that is a safeguard that is disabled for a short time. And of course not every engine has used...

    2000 bmw 328ci brake pad change question

    I think you need a 7mm allen for the caliper bolts. The brake pads will have the sensor, I think LF has a sensor and RR has a sensor. Other than that you'll be fine.

    Focus new clutch, and updated software

    Done with Chrome, switched to Firefox!

    I like the customization of FF. I have all 3 installed just in case one works worse than another and vice versa. 98% of the time I use FF. Now for Android I really like Dolphin browser...
