Recently changed the trans filter and replaced what trans fluid that was in the pan from my 05 G35 sedan 116k miles. About 4 qts. It turns out I used the wrong trans fluid. I used castrol transmax CTV instead of castrol transmax for imports. I dumped the pan and refilled letting the fluid warm...

This stuff has gotten pretty popular over the years and it price has almost tripled. If you are a fan of this stuff you may want to try this. http://hildstrom.com/projects/seafoam/index.html

Its that time of year to change the oil & filter but I can't find the manual with the info. Anybody have a link to what filters will fit on this? I did look up the filter I have on the engine now and it lists for $11 for regular no-name filter. I'm sure other OTC filters will fit but I can't...

Short term fuel trim question I have a P0420 on this 98 Pontiac van with 172k miles. Its been recently tuned new plugs, wires, filters. Both O2's are good and the van runs great but I can't seem to get rid of this DTC. Looking thru my Auto-tap diagnostic I noticed I have 1- Short term fuel trim...

I just got done chasing my tail on a problem that lasted 25k miles. Back in 2005 I changed out the plugs on my 98 Pontiac Transport. At the time it had 140k miles and I knew it needed new plugs but if anyone has ever done plugs in one of these they are a PITA to replace at least the back 3...

Ive got a 97 manual transmission Saturn SWII with 170K on the clock that was bought new and has had regular dino OCI every 3K+ miles. Its always run good but burned oil as just about every other Saturn out there. I consistently got 32MPG until recently it has gone down to 27 in the last year...

My ARX is on the way and I'm going to try it in my engine and transmission. But I'm wondering if it'll help with the trans problem I'm having. Getting it into 1st gear can be a problem, its not terrible but sometimes I have to shift to 2nd and then 1st and it'll go in. Do you think it'll help...

I was wondering if there is a complete listing for cross referencing oil filters across the list of brands? For example If I have a Wix xxxxx which Purolator/Fram/NAPA would fit? My googling has come up with limited results.

Recently the ABS light has come on on my 92 325I. I've gone and cleaned the wheel sensors the fronts anyway. The rears just don't want to come out. tips for removal? Anyway the next step was to get the codes read to pinpoint the problem Here's what came back. Teyes ABS (MKIV/3) 01 113 Wheel...

I've been mostly lurking here and trying make sense of all the info here but I'm finding it hard to make sense of some it due to the acronyms used. About the only one I figured out so far is OCI - Oil change interval how about PAO UDA Please feel free to add the bunch of others that escape...

A buddy of mine says that you should use a higher viscosity ex. 10w-30 oil vs a lower 10w-50 in high mileage vehicles. Is there any truth to this? All but one of my original purchased vehicles have had there oils changed religously. All but the BMW's history is unknown.

A buddy is looking at one of these and I was wondering (as he) are they worth the extra bucks? Pros/cons?

I've been using either Maguires or Mothers waxes on my vehicles for many years and Mothers Carnuba looks great but what a PITA to remove. I remember years ago I used Liquid glass which was a breeze to apply and remove and it looked great. One of the nice things was you could get it on the trim...

I've got 98 Chapparal with 350 merc with about 250 hrs on it. Normally I change the oil once a year as I only put about 30 hrs a year on it. What I'd like to do is switch to a syn oil and change the oil maybe every other year. Can I/should I?
