    Are propane fueled cars still a thing?

    lpg cars are popular in latin America. Older cars converted as well as brand new ones sold in a dealership. Supposedly much cheaper than gasoline there.

    Got a Defective Oil Filter ... and it's not a Fram!

    Double-gasketed means the old filter's gasket was stuck on the car, so when you put on the new filter, it pushes up against the old gasket instead of metal. Which would cause a leak out of the top of the new filter

    Do you think the owner of this $1 million USD home in Texas is married

    Crazy thing is that it probably is a little staged, seeing the bowls of fruit in the kitchen.

    DIY Automotive A/C Repair: Is It Worth It?

    Unpopular opinion, but you could also just never fix it. Most cars back in the day didn't have AC

    Kawasaki Z650RS for 1-2 hour trips?

    Any bike is fine for that type of riding. The only things you could shop for are farings vs naked for wind, and your preferred riding position. Edit: just adding that if I were doing only that type of riding, I'd get a Yamaha YZF-R3

    When to Change Motor Mounts

    Yeah that's a good point. A bad motor mount should also cause vibration while driving. Rough idle only could be a bad spark, low idle, or could just be something so subtle that it can't be identified (age)

    When to Change Motor Mounts

    I had this problem recently. The vibration started as a mild annoyance and became terrible after a thousand more miles. I assume vibrations are bad for the rest of the car. Ordered 3 new aftermarket mounts dirt cheap. Changed only 1, didn't help and decided to sell the car instead of dealing...

    So Rotella T6 isn’t an ester synthetic anymore?

    Thanks so much those both look like great options. I'll have to call around to track down where I can find a single gallon of the Valvoline. This is more of an educational question, but how is it that the Mobil 1300 in 10W-30 meets the specs for API SP but not API SL?

    So Rotella T6 isn’t an ester synthetic anymore?

    So the question is: what's a better 15W-40 oil than Rotella for gas engines?

    2011 Kia soul a decent car?

    You're looking at a very good car at an okay price. But my general rule is to never travel a long distance to a car dealership. A few times I've gotten tons of pics, even did a FaceTime walk-around, and still saw problems when I got there.

    Thanks, yeah in terms of zddp the motorcycle oil has 1150ppm and the rotella has 1200, but you're right there might be other properties I don't know about

    Kia Soul - Which oil to top-off with?

    Yes I think we have the same engine. I almost did a piston soak last year but it seems too risky

    Kia Soul - Which oil to top-off with?

    I have 3 different opened bottles of oil lying around so I'd like to use one of them up, even though none of them are perfect for this situation.
