    All, My wife recently purchased an 2005 PT Cruiser with 76K miles. Tonight when she turned on her headlights, the headlights came on but no rear taillights/brake lights (except high rear 3rd light) or turn signals. Any starting points would be appreciated. That’s in advance

    Propane tank question

    I have a propane tank that was used by a fork lift. There are two connections. One says vapor and the other says liquid. I need to connect to a heater and neither one mates up to my heaters connectors. Which connection should I use the liquid or the vapor? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Chevy Sonic 2013 coil packs

    I am replacing a set of spark plugs on a 2013 Chevy Sonic 1.8L engine. I am not familiar with GM coils, so when I saw that the coils were kinda of worn looking I got concerned. Are these worn out? They have around 100K miles on them or is this "normal"? Any help is truly appreciate.

    2016 F-150 oil pan leak

    Hello BITOG. Recently, I have noticed a slight oil drip appearing on my driveway where I park my 2016 F-150 with the 2.7L Eco-boost. After looking underneath, I noticed that the bolts closest to the front bumper are all dripping oil. A quick google search turned up that this may be a common...

    Change oil or wait

    I have 11 hours on my Amsoil engine oil in my John Deere X500. The oil has been in there a couple of years but was rarely used. I plan to use it far more routinely by mowing 3 lawns this summer (mine and 2 widows). Should I change the oil out now or leave it and change in the fall when mowing...

    2016 F-150 2.7 new to me

    I just bought a 2016 Ford F-150 with the 2.7L turbo engine. Does anyone have one that has good or bad experiences with one? Mine has 30K miles on it, and the original owner changed the oil every 2K miles per CarFax. Was this needed as an OCI?

    Update: 2010 Jetta TDI 8429 miles, Amsoil 5W30 Eur

    Well here is my newest used oil analysis from Blackstone Labs. The iron did drop a bit so that was good news, so maybe it will keep trending down from here. I stayed with the Amsoil since I already had it on hand, but may change to something else on the next one. The first oil change was VW...

    Here is my latest UOA on my 2006 Lincoln Mark LT truck. It has the 5.4 V8. The oil had been in the vehicle a little over 14 months, and that is why I changed it. It appears that it was in good shape, and could have went longer. Previous oils were Castrol Syntec (previous fill) and Valvoline...

    Amsoil 5W30 Euro, 2010 Jetta TDI, 8799 Miles

    Here is my latest UOA on my 2010 Jetta TDI.

This is my first run on the Amsoil 5W30 Euro which meets...
