    Antifreeze turned to iced tea after replacing rad

    Hey guys, I recently replaced the radiator on my 2000 Mits Eclipse 2.4L. I used the Supertech yellow antifreeze and distilled water to refill. I had also done a flush with prestone the day before I replaced the radiator just to make sure the system was clean when I put the new radiator in. So...

    Supertech price rise

    I think it's made by the Chevron Supreme guys cause it was in the same exact type of bottle. It has that little 3-D image of a hand pouring a bottle of oil near the top of the container. Man, I sound like a detective!

    Save money, buy in volume.

    Hey guys, how about going to Kragen for their .49 cents a quart sale they are having now on Formula Shell. You have to send in the rebate form to get the savings though. But, if you don't want to, then it's still on sale for $1.49 a qt. They trade off between Chevron Supreme and Formula Shell...

    Ok, so I hear that there is a money-back guarantee if I'm not satisfied with ARX. I'm going to go ahead and order a bottle from their web site and see what happens. By the way, I have about 700 miles on the Chevron Supreme 5w30 in the engine now, is this an appropriate time to add the ARX or...

    didnt use car for 1 month. Should I change oil?

    No. It could sit for 6 months and the oil would be ok. Worry about something else like why so many folks buy huge pick up trucks for no reason what so ever besides that the engine sounds cool. Meanwhile the arab princes who profit smile and sprinkle more gold dust on their 80 brides... I was in...

    Thickness levels of 10W-40 oils

    Wow! ok, lots of good advice. I'm gonna go ahead and try the rotella t 5w40. It's $16/gal at walmart so it will be a good price for a full synthetic oil change. Thanks to all. It was nice to get a reply from "down under" too.

    Thickness levels of 10W-40 oils

    Hey does anyone know where I can find the numbers on how thick 10w40 oils are? I ask because I want to use a 10w or 5w-40 on my 2.4l eclipse but ive noticed the 5w-40 are all rated for use on Semis and tractors (for example Shell rotella T 5w40). Are they too thick for my engine? Are they...
