    Transmission fluid leak (ATF)

    I had my tranny rebuilt two years ago ('95 Saturn SC1 with 187K miles, original owner). Over the last month or so, as cold weather has arrived, I've noticed some drops of ATF on my garage floor. Might the colder temps be causing athe pan seal or axel seals to contract? If it is, has anyone had...

    VoiP / DSL

    Hello! I am attempting to join the 20th century and upgrade from dial-up internet. At the same time, I'm looking for an economical, reliable home phone service. Currently, I have bare-bones AT&T landline phone connection that runs ~$34/month (which includes taxes). My All2Easy dial-up internet...

    Valve stem problem

    I've recently developed a problem with just one of my valve stems. I normally use my bike tire pump to top off my car's air pressure when I check it once a month. Last weekend, while doing so, the nozzle of the pump would not stay on the valve stem--it kept getting popped off shortly after...

    Tire Shopping - Buyer's Remorse

    I had narrowed my choice of tires down to two, and chose the one that was $60 cheaper. Unfortunately, that tire must have very poor rolling resistance, as MPGs are down over 5%! Does anyone know if there is a market for "near mint" tires? Mine have only been installed 3 weeks, with about 1,000...

    Tire Installation with TPMS

    I'm in the market for new tires. Is it common to charge $10 each tire to install, simply because it has TPMS? Just when I thought it was going to be $16.50 ($14.50 + $2 disposal fee), I came across the TPMS fee on the company's website. Is this common (this is my first TPMS vehicle)? I'm...

    Timing between ATF drain-and-refills

    I plan to do my first drain and refill of the ATF in my 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe with 40,000 miles. The capacity is 9 quarts, but I've read that a drain and refill only removes about 5 quarts. So I was planning on doing a second 5-quart refill shortly thereafter. If I do a drain and refill this...

    BFG Long Trail Touring or Cooper Discoverer CTS ?

    Power Steering Fluid Leak

    I'm the original owner of a '95 Saturn SC1 with 176K miles. I was doing some maintenance over the summer in hopes of keeping it in top shape. One of the things I did was change out about 12 ounces of PS fluid (using the turkey baster method). I had no problems of any leaking before, but...

    Valvoline MaxLife Power Steering Fluid

    I put some of this in my 1995 Saturn with 169K miles (turkey baster method) recently. I'm the original owner and thought it was about time I changed the PS fluid (I had the brake fluid changed out, as well). I noticed it is the variety with "stop leak." I did not have any leaks or problems...

    Brake Fluid Changes

    I'm the original owner of a '95 Saturn (167K miles) without ABS. I've never changed the brake fluid. Should I, given the above? Being nearly 14 years, is there any downside to doing it now? Should I simply use the turkey baster method, or maybe splurge for a Motive pressure bleeder (from what...

    High Mileage Oil question

    My car has 154,000 miles ('95 Saturn SC1). I'm the original owner. It has run on synthetic most of its life with a few dino changes mixed in. I have run an Auto-Rx treatment and know the engine is spotless. This past November, I obtained some Valvoline Maxlife full synthetic (in the O'Reilly 6...
