I believe it's made by Coastal, but I'm not positive on that. It's SM/GF-4 rated, so for 4k OCI, I don't see a problem running it.

I'm not really sure if this is the case with your Saturn, since it doesn't have a very sophisticated computer, but sometimes at work if I forget to hook up the memory saver or if it doesn't work right when changing a battery, the computer loses its memory and has to re-learn itself. On most cars...

Where are you finding Pennzoil Platinum for 1.99? If you're referring to AAP BOGO, the AAP near me is terrible. They can never keep anything on the shelf, especially motor oil. So I always miss the sales. Also, I'm not interested in stock piling oil, since I have nowhere to keep it. I like to...

Anyone have any experience with this oil? I was in Carquest the other day picking up a serpentine belt for my truck and decided it was about time to do an oil change as well. I usually never buy stuff like oil at Carquest because they're so expensive, but anyway, I found this oil on the shelf...

From the factory service manual... Bank one is the RH side (LH side when looking at the engine) Bank two is the LH side (RH side when looking at the engine) Your code is for the sensor on the LH side of the engine before the cat.

which color do you like better, white or yellow?

ok, that sounds like a good plan. i've used ARX in 2 of my own trucks with excellent results, so i'm familiar with how it works. i definitely will use some plain old supertech (I always do with ARX) and we will see what happens.

hmm...wasn't aware of the issue with the ring-pack design. that's probably where most of the oil burning is coming from then. as for the leaking, that's another story. he's definitely not an easy-going driver, his right foot is always to the floor wherever he goes. borrowing the car is not...

My step-dad has a 98 Eldorado with the 4.7 Northstar engine. He is seriously one of the worst people I have ever seen when it comes to car maintenece. He used to drive the car every day 1.5 miles to and from work (3 miles round trip) with the occasional highway trip (maybe once every 2 months or...

In the filter book at work, there is a torque spec listed for each filter we sell. It is usually around 12-18 ft. lbs. depending on which filter you are installing. I have never torqued a filter. I turn it a 1/4 turn once it seats. I have installed literally thousands of oil filters over the...

I just got one of these a couple weeks ago. Honestly, I didn't really expect much out of it, but I was in a pinch and for ~$400, it fit the bill nicely. I used it the same day I brought it home for replacing the hub assembly and upper and lower balljoints on my sister's truck. It performed...

and what about the engine? 6 or 7 quarts? for anyone that's interested, this is a 98 Ford F150 w/ a 4.6L engine.

i realize that automatic transmissions will drain more the longer the drain plug is out, but is a manual transmission the same way? they way i see it, it isn't any different than the transfer case. there is a drain plug and a fill plug. should i just fill the transmission up until it is...

My question is about the amount of oil/transmission fluid/gear oil, etc. listed in the manual as opposed to what it actually takes to bring it up to full. My manual says that the engine takes 6 quarts of oil. In order to bring it up to the full mark on the dipstick, I need to put in 7 quarts...

I've been a die-hard Ford guy since forever, but I've always said that if I was in the market for a compact pickup, I would pass up on the Ranger and go straight for a Tacoma. These things are tough as nails. A friend of mine has a 4cyl. stick shift truck he uses as his work truck, and he hauls...

It seems like every time I put a Bosch plug in a Ford engine, the car runs terrible within 10,000 miles. Motorcraft plugs are my number one choice for Fords, with Autolites being next, since they make the Motorcraft plug anyway.

my 94 thunderbird just died a horrific death by way of head gaskets a few months ago. the problem is with the head studs. the engineers at ford decided that since the aluminum head and iron block expand and contract at different rates, they would use flexible head studs to counteract it. the...

Easiest way to tell is to look on the door jamb sticker, under AX, read the number (or a letter and a number) Then go to this page and look it up. For example, on my truck, the axle code is 19, which when you look it up, tells you that I have a 3.55 open diff.

thanks for the advice. after doing some more reading on the subject, it seems that amsoil may be my best choice for both transmission and axles. i can't find much in the way of synthetic trans fluid or geear oil around here for some reason. the only thing i really did see was b&m trick shift at...

I use a suction gun for filling up manual transmissions, differentials, etc. that have the fill hole on the side where you can't easily pour a bottle into. It looks kinda like a grease gun, it has a tube coming out of one end (where you suck up, and then dispense the fluid from) and on the other...
