I have a 1993 subaru impreza. I changed the oil about a month ago so I checked it yesterday and it read probably almost a quart over full. The oil smelled a lot like gas to me. So I wondered how that much gas could have gotten in there in such a short period of time. The only thing I can think...

I'm looking into getting a early 90's or so Jeep cherokee for a cheap 4x4. I remember some discussion on here about the best chereokee to get as in year and what transmission. If not, are there any years to stay away from?

Title says it all. Just wanted to let you guys know there is still some green out there...

For now I'm going to say chevy 350, chrysler 4.0, toyota 22r/22re

Lets say I get either ST 5w30 "synthetic" or Havoline 5w30 or Trop Artic 5w30. Now I would assume they flow the best in cold weather in this order ST #1, TA #2, Havoline #3. Is this correct? If so why are they all rated 5w? If M1 5w30 flows way better in the winter than regular dino 5w30, why...

I didn't see where this had been discussed before...... So, think the PP price will come down since it's grp III now? Cause I don't see spending $20 for a jug of it.

I finally found some trop artic at a Wal-mart today! My local wal-marts all carried t/a but now I haven't been able to find any for months... Has anyone else had trouble finding it? I also noticed that it said "synthetic blend" on the front, it didn't say that before did it? Still $1.48 qt.

My fiance has a '95 del sol. It runs really good but it has a lot of valve noise. Can you adjust valve lash or is it just wearing out. It has 168k and D15 btw.

Why is ford going to switch to a lousy "cam in block" hurricane engine? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Hurricane_engine I wonder if toyota or honda will ever make a "old school" engine to compete with the hemi's and vortecs? Oh wait honda's V6 awd suv with a partial bed (ridgeline) got...

I'm thinking about mixing a 5w20 and 15w40 in my truck. 1998 Chevy 5.7L 175K. What's everyone opinion on the best brands to mix?

Has anyone tried putting their tailgate down like on a highway trip to see if it makes any difference in mpg? I heard it doesn't really make a difference because a "pocket" of air forms in your bed, then the rest of the air flows over that.

I'd like to start puting a HM oil in my truck. 1998 Z71 5.7l with 174k... I'd say that would qualify as being HM. So what HM oil seems to get the most votes around here? I'd like to use the oil with the best additive pack, backed up with some UOA & VOA's. I also considered using rotella 5w40...

I always read about all of you guys buying Chevron for .49 cents and lots of other oils with coupons. Where do you get these coupons? I can also say that i've never seen oil on "clearance".

Went to Wal-Mart tonight and saw a lot of new selections.... M1 T&SUV 5w30 Supertech Synthetic 5w30 Individual quarts of supertech syn. 5w30 & 10w30 Supertech HM jugs and quarts (says it has seal conditioners etc for hm vehicles) Rotella 5w40 quarts. I would like to try this for my LS1 but...

vehicle is a 1998 chevy k1500 4x4 5.7L vortec 172,000 miles. I've had this truck for a while and it is a great truck. I drive used cars everyday at my job and I think this truck is in better shape than half of them. Anyway, I switched to supertech full synthetic about a thousand miles ago and...

stopped by AZ today and got 3 bottles of my02 and 3 of my04. The 02 stuff should still be fine right? Getting kind of old. I opened one of the bottles just to see the green. That shouldn't affect storage of a couple months should it? Can't decide which to put in first, M1 5w30, M1 T&SUV, or GC...

I've been reading a lot on here that letting your car warm up for a few minutes in the morning is bad. Why? I understand I'll get worse gas mileage. But I thought I was doing my truck some good to let it warm up 5 mins before my trip to work. Only takes about 10-15 minutes to get to work. I...

yesterday at work, a guy with a '02 suburban with a 6 liter V8 wanted mobil 1 15w50 put into his truck. I advised him that the oil was too thick, but he wanted it because his truck had high mileage. It had about 85,000 on it. haha I wonder what kind of gas mileage he is getting. I also wonder...

stopped by the local A.Z. today to see if they had any GC. I just learned about it the other day, and sure enough that had some. I'm assuming it's green because the # on the bottom starts off 04. Think my LS1 would like this stuff? Is this too thin for a summer oil? I usually put 10w30 in the...
