BTW, Some had more than one entry so they have...

    Fumoto -- Disaster Averted -- Barely

    Timing Belt Story

    One other thing you might do is file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Since you weren't the one 'wronged' you might not be able to but if you can it would definitely be a black eye on that crooked dealer.

    Auto-Rx Rinse question

    Is there any additional benefit to extending the rinse phase beyond 2000 miles? If so how far? Should I change the filter if extending the rinse? My Taurus has 72k on it and I'm about 1500 miles into a rinse. I have about 2500 miles on my Trooper's rinse phase. I plan a second treatment of my...

    Transmission Flush

    My '02 Taurus has 72k miles on it and I'm ashamed to admit though I religeously change my motor oil, I have never serviced my transmission. So I'm thinking that I should flush it, not just drop the pan. My question to BITOGers is, do I drop the pan and change the filter before or after doing a...

    Subaru Forester 2.5L Interference Engine?

    I know a mechanic who has a book which lists engines and whether they have interference or not. I suggest you check with a local mechanic to see if your engine is listed - or you could try asking the dealer (sometimes the guys in the parts department are helpful when the service guys don't want...

    Sold on Techron!!!

    I have done the 'Seafoam through the vacuum line' a time or two before with very noticeable performance improvements so I'm wondering if Techron would do the same or better... or would it be a waste?

    Your Oil Drain Valve Brand and experience

    I put a Fumoto in my '88 Trooper back in 1989. When I traded it for a '96 in July 1996 I switched the Fumoto over since it fit the new vehicle. It is still working fine today in my '96 Trooper (123k miles) - never leaked a drop and I have had it in some pretty ugly terrain in Central Mexico (I...

    Bell Performance additives

    Back in the '80s I was introduced to Mix-I-Go, a gas additive produced by Bell Labs (now Bell Performance). By using their gas and oil additive I was getting astounding mileage from my '74 Audi 100LS (as high as 38mpg). Somehow over time I quit using it (I moved far away from my local...

    Regane vs. Techron: which is better?

    Isn't FP60 meant to be a continous (every tank) treatment? How does it's cost compare to the other two? Also, speaking of FP60, how does it compare to Lucas Gas Treatment? And of the four listed which would be the best to use?

    Oil abd OCI in the U.K.

    I am an engineer for an oilfield service company. I spent last week in the U.K. (Scotland) on a business trip. While there I asked my U.K. associates (also engineers) about oil and oil change interval practices there. I was told that most people change there oil every 10,000 miles or once a...
