I purchased a pristine 2004 BMW K1200GT with only 19k on the clock. It has barely been ridden in the last couple of years, hence the issue. Very regular oil changes, but the short rides and inactivity has caused an apparent problem with the starter sprag (sort of a bendix, but inside the engine...

Come here often for the knowledge on this board. Did a search and I think I know what direction I am leaning, but here's my dilemna: Bought a 2008 Honda Accord Coupe with 110,000 miles and looks well taken care of. Carfax shows regular oil changes, most at about 5k intervals. I knew there was a...

Hi all, great site here. I just purchased a 99 Toyota Solara V-6 with 149,000 miles. The engine is tight as can be, just changed the oil and filter after 3,000 miles. I went with Pennzoil 5w-30 and a Mobil 1 filter. My concern is, with the Mobil filter the oil light stays on noticebly longer...
