Just purchased a 95 T100 4x4 with 207,000 miles. Auto-Rx with basic oil vs. Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 vs. Mobil 1 High mileage 5w30 Working on cleaning up the automatic transmission on another thread. I used Auto-Rx in the past on my 93 Civic to try to fix the rear main seal. Didn’t work so I...

Just bought a Toyota T100 3.4 VA [the preferred 5RZ engine not the 3.0 RZ that I have in my 91 4runner] with auto tranny. 207,000 miles. 2nd owner basically neglected maintenance and lied about maintenance being performed on time except for oil changes. Only reason I bought the truck is engine...

12v/120AC Inverters that can handle low voltage with deep cycle batteries...? I just bought a Marine deep cycle Optima blue battery D34M to use with my 2 inverters. Both have low voltage shut down around 10.5 - 10.9 volts. Inverter #1 is an older TripLite 500 watt and the other is a Costco 400...

I have two vehicles that consume the total sump capacity inside of 5,000 miles. Other than changing the filter is there really any solid reason the change the oil? Yeah I know... I already used Auto-Rx in both vehicles with very limited success. I now use Delo 400 15w-40 in my Civic with a...

Yes it's true after running Auto-Rx in my Toyota 22r powered truck the oil consumption has stabilized as long as I'm not pulling my enclosed trailer. However pulling my 6 x 12 enclosed trailer for my business especially on the freeway requires full throttle in all the gears [I try to avoid the...

Long story short my 277,000+ mile Civic leaks a fair amount of oil via the rear main seal....used Auto Rx a while back [rear main still leaked] ........ I'm now running Delo 400 15w-40 HDEO now with "Bars Rear main seal" which has actually slowed down the leak some. Car isn't driven much in...

I'm looking to buy Two EU2000 Honda Generators however this entire issue of parallel tandem connection is more than puzzling. I once worked as an aircraft A&P mechanic so I have a solid understanding of basic electronics. My local dealer says it better to use a Companion model along with...

Anyone here recommend Honda's biggest HS1132 track drive snowthrower? I love the hydro drive and 2 year warranty but I hate the price tag of $3000 out the door even if it's with 12 months no interest no payments. I have a snow removal company and this is my first year for snow removal. I...

Years ago I worked as an aircraft mechanic [late 80's] and it was a common maintenance practice to deep cycle all NiCad's. So NOW according to Dewalt a complete an full discharge is not good for their cells? What's changed with their NiCad's. Does it have anything to do with Cobalt technology...

.....for a KLR 650? I'm currently running some old stock of Red Cap M1 15w-50 but I was going to change it before the snow flies. Is anyone using M1 HM 10w-40 in their cycles?

I just bought a Toro Single stage Power Clear 221QR Power Clear snow thrower with the Briggs 2-stroke. I was surprised to see the Manual flat out state TCW 3 or ISO GD? Isn't this outboard oil? I regularly use Echo synthetic blend that is JASO FD rated in all my other 2 stokes for my lawn &...

I looking for an oil siphon pump that works in a dip stick hole preferably one that works off batteries say AA's if possible. So I can use beefy NiMH cells. My 91 4runner has a goofy oil pan that traps a fairly significant amount of oil that can't be drained etc. I'd rather spend say 50% more...

Long story short my Toyota with a carburetor left me stranded yesterday. The sight window in the carburetor is completely dry. Could be a float level issue? Could be year of gunk and varnish in the fuel system being loosened up by the ethanol clogging the fuel system or lines? Truck was...

Been having some drivability issue with my truck lately. Carb was completely rebuilt a few years back at the dealer, I recently replaced the fuel filter, valves where adjusted at the dealer and the difference was night and day. It was waaaaay over due for an adjustment. But . . . I have been...
