I am doing some work on a 2004 VW Passat with the 2.8 V6 for a friend and he wants the oil changed. I looked up to see what oil is reccomended and have gotten conflicting answers. I have come up with 5W40 Syn, 0W40 Syn, and 5W30 Syn, and that the oil must meet VW 502. I also was told the engine...

I am trying to do a brake job on a 2005 Ford F350 dually w/ four wheel drive. I am trying to fgure out how to remove the front brake rotors. I removed the caliper and bracket, the locking hub assembly, and I found four studs coming through the back side of the steering knuckle. I removed the...

So the wife and I were shopping last night and headed into Wally World. I needed oil for our Vue that is taking a 3000 mile road trip in a couple of weeks. I have run nothing but PP 5W20 since it was brand new, but I wanted to try the Ultra. I picked up the jug ($28) and was ready to walk away...

Where, (if at all) does TranSynd fit into the the Dexron fluid family? I know that it is for Allison transmissions and replaces Dexron III in those applications, but is it similar to Dexron VI, or totally different?

I just saw this posted on jayski.com Sorry if it has been mentioned elsewhere.

Someone wants me to change the thermostat in an 04' Montana with the 3.4. This is the one where the exhaust crossover pipe runs right in front of the housing. You can see one of the housing bolts, but does anyone know how hard it is to get to the second bolt?

My good friend has an 01' Silverado HD with a Duramax. He has 200,000 miles on it, runs Pennzoil LL 15W40 on a 5,000 OCI, the oil comes out about as clean as it goes in, and uses little if any. He could not be happier with the truck. Today on the job, he ran into some supposed diesel "expert...

I just got a trucking industry parts news email stating that Shell was re-aligning their Rotella line and that Long Life and the equivelant QS product would be somehow involved too. Just for kicks, I went to the Pennzoil website, and I see that Long Life does not appear anywhere on the site. It...

A friend asked me to look at his 97 Ram 1500. It has a 318 with 124,000 miles and runs great, but he noticed his hot oil pressure was dangerously low. He had already changed the sending unit, then the oil and filter to no avail. I installed a master guage and confirmed his findings. When fired...

The other day in downtown Fort Wayne IN, I saw a late model red Accord with Ohio plates. The plate numer? 5W20 OIL. I nearly drove over the curb laughing.

I don't get to the diesel area very often, and was surprised that there is little to no mention of Pennzoil 15W40 here, good or bad. I have been using it my old 82 6.2 since I bought it in 02' and my buddy has run it in his 01' Duramax since brand new. He now has 132,000 miles and at 5000 miles...
