    2 cycle oil harder to find

    Has anyone else noticed 2 cycle oil disappearing from stores that used to sell it? Not big box, but Conveniences stores, pharmacies, and grocery stores, for example, don't carry it now in many cases where they did not long ago. Have noticed this beginning about the last year or two ago and seems...

    Doing an oil change with full synthetic 5W-20 today, I find after putting in 5 qts of the new oil, I am about a half a quart from completely full. I would like to top it right to the "full" line, as usual. The vehicle, a 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan, calls for 5W-20. Problem is, I am out of any more...

    Greetings I am trying to find a good way to carry a canoe on a 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT. It has "roof rails" I guess you call them, that run the length of the roof on both sides, no crosspieces. I'd like to get a good "roof rack" or whatever it takes to work with this vehicle to carry a...

    use E85 or not?

    Hello, With the 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan, it says E85 gasoline can be used. Would it make sense to use this fuel, vs regular 89 octane unleaded gasoline? I don't just mean for economy, but would it affect engine longevity in a negative way to use this fuel? I know its specified and should be OK...

    Pentofrost A2 Q

    I want to put some coolant in the overflow tank on a 2007 Subaru Outback. I look around for what coolant is OK to use, and find Pentofrost A2 can be used for this car make and year, according to their website. Then I see on the container it says not to use with other coolants. The coolant in the...

    2013 Dodge Dart SXT coolant/antifreeze

    What is the proper antifreeze/coolant to use in the cooling system for this vehicle? Yes, there is the dealer Mopar brand, but I am looking for something from an autoparts store for hopefully less cost. Also, not 50/50 mix, but the "concentrate." Thanks for any experiences and suggestions.

    oil change indicator / oil change time

    Tell me if this seems quite right: my time for an oil change indicator chime and light comes on on the dashboard, at 4300 miles. Doesn't this seem too soon? Car had mix of highway and rural driving, very little idling during those miles (over 4 1/2 months of use). I am wondering if perhaps the...

    dodge caliber - motor oil

    I have a 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT with 4cyl., 2.0 liter engine that specs 5W-20 oil, which is what I have been using. Would 0W-20(synthetic) oil be all right to use, as it seems to be a superior oil, at least in cold starts/cold weather? I am thinking 0W-20 may not have been on the market when...

    heat problem

    Coolant is not slushed up, but come to think of it, not sure of coolant level. Has been down a bit in the past. Low levels could cause this? Having lots of "fun" with all the relentless cold weather this winter.
