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...

Hey guys, my car (00 eclipse 2.4l) currently has alot of lifter noise and just hit 100k miles so I wanted to put something in the engine that would quiet the ticking and help out the engine over all. It has hydraulic lifters, so they cant be adjusted. Anyways, I have seen Auto RX promoted on...

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...

Hey what do you guys know about Supertech synthetic? Is is better thatn Maxlife blend? I'm considering using it since it's only $13 for five quarts.

Hi guys, I was just wondering if it's ok to mix 2 qts of valvoline maxlife blend with tropartic or with supertech synthetic? I have two 5w30 qts of maxlife that i want to use but dont want to buy 2 more cause it'll cost me over seven dollars when I usually buy the 5 qt jugs for $11. I'd rather...

Hey guys, I've always heard that HM oils are thicker than same-weighted regualar oils. But I've also heard that Maxlife isn't actually any thicker that regular valvloline in the same weight. It just has more addatives and what not in it. Is this true?... that Maxlife 10W40 would be the same...

Hey guys, Does anyone know where they sell Maxlife full synthetic 5w30? I live in California and don't recall seeing it anywhere. I usually buy Maxlife blend at walmart. As far as Synthetic HM oils, they only have Mobil 1 synthetic HM 10W30 there. I don't think they make Mobil 1 Hm in 5w30 or...

Hey guys, I'm only posting this idea on this forum because it's the most popular. Well, I was thinking that it would be really cool to have an official BITOG t-shirt. If we had some sort of design contest, then a vote and eventually produce them, that would be great! What do you fellow BITOGers...

Hey guys I recently put four new NGK platinum spark plugs in my car. 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS 2.4L auto. (just bought it last week.) The next day, I did some more maintenance and cleaned the throttle body with Carb Cleaning Spray but, I think I used too much and got some into the system cause...

Hey guys I recently put four new NGK platinum spark plugs in my car. The next day, I did some more maintenance and cleaned the throttle body with Carb Cleaning Spray but, I think I used too much and got some into the system cause the car smoked and rattled like crazy for about a minute after I...

Hey guys I just bought a 2000 Mitubishi Eclipse GS with the 2.4l engine and 95k miles on it this week. Well it has a small tapping noise coming from deep inside the engine. It is louder when you start it cold and then gets faint when the engine is at operating temp. A mechanic said that it could...

Hey Guys, I just purchased a 2000 Mitsubishi eclipse with the 2.4l engine and automatic trans. I want to change the transmission oil, so I refered to the manual which specifies DIAMOND ATF SP II or DIAMOND ATF SP II M. The problem is that I've never heard of, nor seen DIAMOND... anything fluid...

Hey guys, I just saw some Shell high mileage conventional. I had never seen this particular oil before so I'm guessing its kinda new. Does anyone know if its any good? Or how does it compare to other high mileage oils?

Hey guys, I just saw some Shell High Mileage oil at the store and I'm pretty sure its fairly new. It's in red bottles and is conventional. So, does anyone have any experience with it? How does it measure up to the big boys like casrol and valvoline HM oils?

Hey Guys, I used some red (high strength)thread locker on the nuts that hold my valve cover on because it kept getting loose. The problem is that it got hard before i was done tightening them all the way so they got stuck withougt being all the way tight and now it leaks a little oil from the...

Hey Guys, I just found some Havoline deposit shield, dino(in new black bottles) 10w30 on sale for $1.49 so I got enough for about 3 oil changes. Is this stuff pretty good or what? I've never used havoline before. Any users?

Im looking for a good car so I went to look a 99 civic ex with 84k mi. It ran really smooth and the original owner had all of the service records. Even did the 80k service at the dealer $1000+. So far so good. After the test drive, I checked the motor oil and the dipstick was not even coming out...
