    2 cycle oil harder to find

    Has anyone else noticed 2 cycle oil disappearing from stores that used to sell it? Not big box, but Conveniences stores, pharmacies, and grocery stores, for example, don't carry it now in many cases where they did not long ago. Have noticed this beginning about the last year or two ago and seems...

    use E85 or not?

    Hello, With the 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan, it says E85 gasoline can be used. Would it make sense to use this fuel, vs regular 89 octane unleaded gasoline? I don't just mean for economy, but would it affect engine longevity in a negative way to use this fuel? I know its specified and should be OK...

    Pentofrost A2 Q

    I want to put some coolant in the overflow tank on a 2007 Subaru Outback. I look around for what coolant is OK to use, and find Pentofrost A2 can be used for this car make and year, according to their website. Then I see on the container it says not to use with other coolants. The coolant in the...

    What is the proper antifreeze/coolant to use in the cooling system for this vehicle? Yes, there is the dealer Mopar brand, but I am looking for something from an autoparts store for hopefully less cost. Also, not 50/50 mix, but the "concentrate." Thanks for any experiences and suggestions.

Car had mix of highway and rural driving, very little idling during those miles (over 4 1/2 months of use). I am wondering if perhaps the...

    dodge caliber - motor oil

    I have a 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT with 4cyl., 2.0 liter engine that specs 5W-20 oil, which is what I have been using. Would 0W-20(synthetic) oil be all right to use, as it seems to be a superior oil, at least in cold starts/cold weather? I am thinking 0W-20 may not have been on the market when...

    heat problem

    This one seems a bit odd: While driving out in cold weather today, about 10degrees, after the temp. gauge got most of the way to normal, I turned on the heater fan with heat controls on max and the air coming out of vents was at most lukewarm, not really warm. This was a first; prior to this, it...
