I'm most likely going to be in the hunt for a new car and it's come down to an Accent hatch and a Yaris hatch. I like things about both cars and its a toss up to me. I can get an Accent for cheaper and with no radio/ac. What is the consensus here?

Even though I love my Escort, i've always had an itch to get back into a Civic since I loved my 92 so much. I found this 91 on a local forum. Here is the wording pasted from the ad: Hello, Im selling my 1991 Honda Civic Hatchback. The car runs and drives, but currently has a "miss" or sputter...

I'm due for an oil change and with the arctic temps here to stay, would it be better for me to go with Durablend 5w20 or Shell Dino 5w30 that I have in my stash for colder starts and temps?

Long story short, my friend has lost 1st and 2nd gear in his 03 20th Anniv. GTI. The car has 80-90k'ish miles on it and he doesn't want to dump another trans into it. He wants to dump it and get another car. I showed him a nice 07 Civic Si Sedan but a new trans would be alot cheaper. Is he...

I have a couple quarts of Maxlife 30wt single grade laying around in my stash. Would it be okay to use these for topoff or as part as a frankenmix with some synth blend or straight dino?

As some of you might know, I just had an oil change done and had 10w30 Rotella put in. Over the last week and a half, my gas mileage has gone down almost 4-5 mpg per tank. I usually get around 34-35 mpg in my Escort and when I filled up yesterday, I was lucky to get about 30.5 mpg. I have a...

As some of you might know, I bought a huge bulk of single grade oil through the advance auto huge clearance sale on the website and i'm a little confused about single grade oil. I've heard it's only okay to run it in warmer temps and not so much in the winter. Is it safe to run this in the...

To make a long story short, my Escort [censored] out a fuel pump last week and I got a lead on an 87 VW Scirocco for a reasonable price. Would this be a suitable new daily driver? I know parts are still somewhat readily available for these. It has about 126k miles on it, inspected til April of...

Do Delo and Mobil Delvac come in 10w-30 weights? I've found that alot of Wally Worlds don't carry Rotella 10w-30 and Advance Auto can't order it either.

Anybody knows who makes the Autozone dino oil? They have a jug and a Stp filter on sale for $10.

Seeing that the buy one get one free Valvoline is good for one more day at Advance Auto, it looks very enticing considering I could get oil for two family cars for the price of one. Do I return my jug of Rotella and pull the plug on the bogo for Valvoline?

I got the packet in the mail from Amsoil about becoming a sales person. What are the pros and cons of this besides making some extra cash each month?

I took a trip to Walmart today and they had no 10w-30 Rotella and only 15w-40 and sae 30 grade oil. Would the sae 30 gear oil be okay for car use?

This is for my Escort with 103k on it. No engine noises or anything. I'm stuck between a couple oils. MC 5-30 synthblend or Pennzoil conventional 5-30 (great rebate at AA) or the darkhorse is Rotella Synth 5-40. Which one should I go with? I'm unsure or afraid that the Rotella 5-40 would be too...

I saw that Advance Auto brand oil filters are buy one get one free till the end of this month. Are these decent filters are stay away from them?

I found an 88 Chevy Spectrum hatch base model 5 spd for sale this morning. It has 45k miles and the asking price is around $750. It has no rust either. This will just be a daily driver and bicycle hauler. I've heard that some Isuzu parts are somewhat getting scarce. Should I take a look at this...
