As the title says I was changing the oil & filter on my 2013 Acura RDX. I have a bunch of filters for different vehicles and thought I grabbed one for the RDX, but I think it was for an Accord. The filter in question was a Supertech MP7317. I don't see any leaks and the filter spun on okay...

I've searched and can't find a clear answer to this. I just bought a 3-gal case of T6 on Amazon and when checking the delivery dates I only then noticed the 'new' multi-Vehicle version of it. I went and checked the last bottle of it I bought from Walmart a while back and it's the same...

Hi everyone - I purchased a used Toyota Highlander (2007 V6 VVTi 3.3l) with 147,000mi last summer. Had it checked out by my mechanic before buying and he gave a thumbs up. It was a Toyota dealer trade in and I found info about the prior owner in the glove box. Looks like she's a married 50-ish...

I'm inheriting a 2005 SAAB 9-5 Aero wagon which is a 2.3L I4 16V MPFI DOHC turbo engine. The car has 185,000 miles on it and it runs super smooth. I understand that this vehicle was dealer maintained in it's early life and that the 2005s don't suffer the same sludge issues that plagued the...

I have a '97 Ford Taurus & was wondering if there were any thoughts on the Supertech Mercon ATF fluid? I've looked and couldn't find a specific post on the site. A few things about the Mercon V, but not this porduct. Basically I did a trans line cooler drain & fill/swap using 2 gals of...

I'm pretty sure I goofed, and I don't know where my head was at, so because I'm pretty sure I goofed, this topic is in the correct place. Here's the goof: I went to Seafoam my Ford today (3.0 Vulcan engine) and for want of an accessable vacuum line, I decided to use the pcv valve. So I pulled...

I'm going to bid on this. If I win, I'm going to need oil for it. Do you think they stock the oil I need at Wally World, or do you think I am going to have to special order it? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2454839870

For those who are interested in this kind of stuff. . . It went down to 21F last night (probably much lower than that with the windchill factor) and the car started right up with no problems. No tapping or clatter. By the way, I know that the Delo has a pour point of -39F. Anybody know what...

For what it's worth, I was at my local AZ and they just started carrying GC. I've been watching them weekly for a couple of months now wondering when it was (if ever) going to come in. So, for you GC fan(atic)s, it is now available in Richmond, VA. Some of you have been watching to see if it...

Well, I'm done with the Auto-Rx cycle in my transmission. Today I changed out the filter, and did multiple drain & fills through the cooler until the fluid was coming out nice & clear. Originally I was going to order some Schaeffers, but ended up buying a case of Mobil (conventional) ATF from...

So, I have a new 2003 and way back in August I decide it's time to do the very first oil change on this vehicle. So I get the Fram filter & the Syntec Blend gallon container (This was before I ever knew about BITOG) and get to work. Drain the oil okay, but man oh man the filter!! Could not get...

I am fully planning to order some Scheaffers ATF Mercon for my Ford. I'm finishing up an Auto RX cycle in another couple of hundred miles. Today I was at Costco & saw the conventional Mobil ATF really cheap --- I think it was $15US a case. Also, I have seen many posts talking about Pennzoil...

I need some Schaeffers ATF fluid, so I'm going to place the "big direct order" from Schaeffers. Basically I'm ordering my ATF fluid, and I'm going to order oil to round up the order to the correct amount. While trying to decide between the 5W30 and 10W30 (#701 & #703) I was reading some posts...

AMSOL Flush I'm an Auto-Rx kind of guy, but I am highly intrigued by this guy's results with the Amsol Flush. Mostly because he says he has low miles (35000mi) and had always run synthetics. Do you think this sludge is from a reaction between the flush and the oil? Actual sludge? Something...

After being off-line for a while, the Schaeffer's website is back online. Looks like they've added a store or at least an easier way to order product in smaller quantities. You still have to pay shipping on smaller quantities. Tim's prices still better (on the two items I checked)

Did my first change & fill with Delo 400. If you have some lying around, give it a sniff! I swear that this stuff smells like gin. Not sure if it's Tanqueray or Beefeater. I've never smelled oil like this before! I dig it! OK - Time for some fresh air. . .

I have a remanufactured engine - 3.0 Vulcan - in my Taurus. I live in VA, and this is a commuter car in city traffic. I put about 300 miles a week on it. I obviously changed the oil & filter after the first 500 miles, and because there was a small leak & the tech went back & re-sealed my oil...
