    Overcool a transmission.

    Can you over cool an automatic transmission? I am changing from an in the radiator tank cooler to an external air/oil cooler. I have always been of the thought that the cooler the trans is, the better. Am I totally off the ball? I have some area in the fender behind each fog lamp to mount a...

    Lube for clutch splines....

    I was thinking of using Kroil Penphite very lightly brushed onto the splines. It will probably be a very long time before the next clutch job, and would prefer smooth consistent action over the years. Factory manual mentions these materials: Spline: FX2200 Shaft: SUNLIGHT 2 I can get neither...

    Lube for open ended lug nuts.

    I recently won some very nice Kics R40 Neo-Chrome titanium nitride coated lug nuts and am worried about the elements rusting the threads. I do not use anti seize or oil on my lugs but would like to prevent corrosion. How would spraying them monthly with something like Amsoil silicone spray work...

    Third leaky EaO20 in a row.

    Anybody noticing weeping from the Amsoil EaO20 crimp? I am on number three that has done this. I hate the sight of oil drops under a 30K mile retentively maintained car.... I will take pics next time the splash pan is off.

    VOA on the new Amsoil DEO yet?

    As the title states, I am interested in how the add pack was affected by the re-formulation. I may be very glad I picked up a dozen gallons before the new stuff replaced it on the 1st.

    Chatter after PS pump replacement.

    Just replaced a leaking PS pump on an 2004 STi for a friend. Followed the book to the letter, including the priming and air purging. While rotating the wheels to the left with the car on the ground, it has a bad throbbing chatter at idle, like it is stuttering. It is not noticeable while driving...

    Amsoil EAO14

    I got a few Eao14 filters buy one get one, to replace the EAo12/13. The look completely different inside, like the bpv is on the top. Is this filter safe to use as a replacement for the EAO13? I actually refused to put it on the car, and got a 13 instead. But now I have a pair of 14's sitting here.
