This report is from my 2001 LeSabre which just turned approximately 80k-miles. The 8,372 miles was from a trip across country and then daily driven for awhile. I'm pretty happy with the report! Love the 3800 series engine and wish GM kept it going. Averaged about 28 mpg (70mph) on the...

...Lately, a few of my friends have been sporting various "smart watches". One buddy showed me his (Amazfit?) and was totally jazzed by all the bio-metrics it showed him... Blood O2, steps, sleep states, breaths taken... Calories burned, you name it, dozens upon dozens of trackers. I asked...

I'm replacing a front CV Axle on my Buick LeSabre. I've read many posts and watched more than few YT videos. I've seen a few where the mechanic sprayed the hub/splines with a light coat of copper anti-seize. Some have also used grease. The install booklet (Yes, actually read that also)...

I've searched but didn't find anyone using specific "job-site security" cameras for a construction site. I'm asking because our current security cameras have been terrible. (Vosker). These are battery powered and are supposedly charged by a small solar panel on the camera. They communicate...

Well... I'm sure I'm going to open-up a can of worms here. In a nutshell, I am trying to help-out a buddy that owns a 2019 Ford 150 with the 3.5L Twin Turbo and 59k miles. Last week, he called me for help and pulled-over on the highway because of a high temperature reading. Checked coolant...

Thought this YouTube video was interesting. -

I just changed my oil & filter on my 2001 LeSabre. This time, I went with the Microguard Select (Always been a WIX fan) and I must say... for $11 it's a very nice, well made filter. It came plastic wrapped and what I liked was the larger inlet holes and "holes" instead of louvers. (Just...

Hi guys, The company I work for is looking for a work van. (Construction materials) We've looked a few over the weekend which included a GMC/Chevy Savanna, Nissan NV 2500 High Top and a Ram van. All of them seemed liked a good option and the Nissan is built with a full "body on frame" vs. the...

Just an observation at this point... And perhaps coincidental. 2001 Buick LeSabre with about 65k miles on her. Great condition and well maintained with 7-8K oil and filter change intervals. The last oil change was at roughly 62k miles and went with QSFS 10w-30. (Always have used this grade for...

Holes... I know how we love to dissect filters here. (Literally) Seeing how there's a thread on louvers and all. I've noticed "most" holes in the base plates of filters are round. They differ in size and quantity. There are some oval and teardrop (FRAM Titanium) for example. I just wonder if...

I'm repairing the entire A/C system (Minus Evaporator) on my 2001 Buick LeSabre. Since all the parts are being changed-out. (Compressor failure), the only lines that I'm keeping are the ones that are - Accumulator to Evaporator. Since there was much debris in the Orifice tube, I need to use...

First off... was at three different Walmart's this week looking for some SuperTech 10w-30 for my Buick. What was very strange was the lack of supply and especially the the 10w-30 grade. I finally found a few jugs on the third stop. I've been a huge Supertech fan and now that pricing (20k...

Hey guys... 2001 Buick LeSabre - Want to replace stock head unit with Double Din Bluetooth Stereo. Well... I've been looking around and doing some research on this. Yes, 100% knowing "you get what you pay for". I've been on the Crutchfield site and they have have some Boss, Dual, Jensen units...

Long story.... but basically repaired a family vehicle that has been sitting in a garage for many years. 2001 LeSabre with 125/70/16 temporary spare. Checked the spare and found this - (See Pics) Wow.... So... Called local Discount Tire shop and they say: "Hmmmm...we don't even carry those...

This is weird.... Driving home the other day and noticed I was deeper into the throttle than usual. I thought I was losing power to my engine and pulled over into a parking lot, placed it park and began to smell that acrid smell of burning brakes. Got out of the vehicle and noticed my...

Wow.... Unreal. I have a a 2017 OnePlus 5 phone (Unlocked) and I've been on the Cricket (ATT) network for 7+years. I purchased another phone (Google Pixel) to use for work and decided I liked my OnePlus better. When I switched back to the OnePlus phone, I received a text from Cricket telling me...

Hi Guys.... I realize this question has been posted before... But.... seeing there are so many "new" formulations on the market, I was wondering if I should stay with the Orange Dexcool or switch to something else? The plastic coolant "elbows" finally broke and I've got coolant everywhere...

Hi everyone, This is my second UOA for this vehicle using Super Tech Full Synthetic 10w-30. I was shooting for 10K OCI, but decided to change it as I was already changing oil on my other car. Let me know what you think. Not bad for what most consider an "economy" oil. I'm pretty happy with it...

This is my first UOA on my 2008 KIA Sportage with 131k miles. I'm not sure why the silicon level is elevated. I do live in the desert. Otherwise, I'm very pleased with the Super Tech.

My aunt owns a 2001 Buick LeSabre with 53k miles. She keeps it garaged-kept and barely drives it. (She elderly and basically takes it to the local store or appointment.) The car is in awesome shape and I have done all the maintenance on it since new. I go by the OLM and it's around 11% now. It's...
