Just a PSA. If you own an F150, particularly 2009-up, check your transmission cooler lines, NOW! It’s a known issue that they break, up under the front bumper where the quick connects are. I was driving around town the other day in my 2015 F150, and when I went to leave a store, the truck was...

My 2015 F-150 is now 10 years old and has gotten swirls in the paint over that time. The paint is original and I've washed and waxed it regularly as long as I've had it, but swirls happen. Now that spring is here, I'd like to try to correct this paint some. I have a Harbor Freight Bauer 6" DA...

My 1997 Accord EX originally came with a short, fat Honda oil filter. Honda discontinued this filter in the early 2000s and superceded it with the current 15400-PLM-A02 that fits 99% of Honda vehicles. From what I've read, it was supposedly to help oil pressure. All of the aftermarket options...

Just an FYI... battery prices at Advance Auto (and likely most other retailers) will be increasing on Sunday. I'm not sure by how much, but if you need a battery, you'd be best off doing it today or Saturday.

Saw this today at the Advance Auto. Customer was not happy when I told him I couldn't sell it to him.

I work at an auto parts store, so I encounter this probably a bit more than everyone else, but WHY does there need to be SO MANY different types of wiper arm connectors? What was wrong with the simple 9x3 hooks? And they keep coming out with new ones. This just seems so unnecessary and its not...

The 1997 Honda Accord I bought recently has a lot of swirls and fine scratches on the windshield from the wipers and just from age. Worse than any other car I've had. When glare from the sun or another car's headlights hit it, its extremely difficult to see out of. The glass is otherwise fine...

We at the Advance Auto finally got our hands on some 0w-8 oil. We don't stock this stuff, and most stores won't. We special ordered it for one of our commercial accounts. In fact, we still don't have any 0W-16 out on the shelves yet. Anyway I noticed no API certification on it. It does say...

Today I made a deal on a 1997 Honda Accord EX for very cheap. It currently does not run, and I had to tow it home, but it supposedly has a no-spark condition due to a bad coil or bad ICM. I'll have to confirm that, but I suspect it is the case. The car apparently sat for several years in a...

We got these in our latest shipment from Castrol. Don't think it's anything new, but thought it was interesting they claim to be "3X stronger than Mobil", and in the fine print they say "in viscosity breakdown as measured in Kurt Orbahn test on 5w-30 grade."

My 5+ year old NAPA Legend in my 2006 Buick Lacrosse finally died this week. It was a US-made East Penn. I looked around at pricing for a new one and found that Costco by far had the best battery for the best price- 800 CCA, 1000 CA 3 year pro-rated for $109.99 at Costco. Comparatively, the same...

Any suggestions in 2024 for a good upper intake cleaner? Amsoil Powerfoam? Seafoam Spray? One of the CRC products? I've got a 2006 Buick Lacrosse with a 3800 that has a lot of carbon buildup in the upper intake and on the back side of the throttle plate. It has had conventional oil for most of...

Hi everyone. New user, long time forum reader. I work at Advance Auto and we carry the Carquest brand filters. I'm curious where all the filters are sourced from and who is making them. I believe the current Carquest filters, both the red and blue, except for the hydraulic filters are made by...
