Good morning, I gave my brother in law a quick tune up last night after he complained about the engine in his 1992 Civic running rough. I was able to change the plugs, wires and cap in the time allotted. As I often find, the screw holding the rotor on was stripped, so I'll have to give that...

Sorry for the unknowns but I just bought a beater for my brother in law and wanted to get a handle on the oil as my wife noticed a puff or two of smoke when driving it home. I didn't see any on the test drive I took and my wife couldn't tell if it was blue or white, so fearing a head gasket...

So I had to work out of state the other day and drove my trusty 1996 Honda Civic LX sedan the 125 miles each way. Now, it's highway for most of the way, but in a few sections, the road is posted at 45 and 50mph. So I get back home, fill up the tank and I have 49.37mpg for this trip. Nice. I'll...

Good morning, Here is the second UOA on my 2001 Nissan Xterra. While the oil change after the summer travel season showed extremely low wear numbers, this one was higher. I expected as much because in winter my driving habits are usually only to day care, the grocery and band practice...no long...

Good morning, I finally got the results of the first UOA I decided to perform on the Xterra...heh, it took the post office three weeks to send a priority mail package from NY to IN...excellent. The oil in the sump is Schaeffers 7000 5w30, synth blend. I used a Nissan oil filter and I have a...

Oldswagon, I'm a little leary of the chemical flush stuff as I have always seemed to develop cooling system problems after using one of these products. What I do now is to drain the system completely, fill with distilled water, run that up to temp, drain again and then fill with the coolant mix...
