A relative has a mazda mx-6 auto. He said the car would not move so he takes it to the tranny shop. They change the fluid and filter and now it runs fine. The fluid had never been changed and had at least 120,000 miles on it. Did the fluid just get to thick to flow? The filter was not blocked...

Im looking at one of these for my diesel dodge and i wonder if toilet paper will just fall apart and end up in the engine.

Reading the manual for my ramcharger and it says i can use engine oil or gear oil in the np 435 tranny. If temps are above 32 then use straight 50 weight motor oil. If below 32 use 30 weight motor oil. If temps are -10 or above use 90 weight gear oil. if temps are above 90 then use 140 weight...

Giving away my pop up camper. Pulled off a cap to inspect the bearings and grease. Grease is kinda hardened, smells old but it is still grease. Seems like some oil seperated from the grease and now there is an oily film on the bearings and inner hub. The grease is still tacky, pretty good for 15...

Going to change the fluid on my diff, a dana 70 ls. Read the label on some penz 80/90 gl5 rated fluid and it says no ls additive needed as the fluid meets the specs for gl5 and ls applications. I have been told to put in a tube of ls additive anyway. What do you think?

Went to fuel up my Dodge today. Pulled up to the pump and opened my toolbox to grab a bottle of additive. I had a 1/2 bottle of Ams diesel fuel additive. The high temp here has been below 20 degrees for 3 days and the low has been 0 with a 8 below 0 windchill. The ams additive was still in...

A buddy of mine stopped by and gave me a bunch of filters and oil. now I have a few quarts of 30w non detergent. If i add 1 quart to top off a vehicle that leaks and burns a little oil will i hurt anything? The engine capacity is 6 quarts.

I gave my brother a lawnboy 2 cycle mower that i bought 10 years ago. Ran lawnboy or penz 2 cycle oil in it till i discovered silver streak(oregon) oil. Anyway his wife used it one day and she filled it with, yup you guessed it, straight gas. Engine ran till it locked up tight. I found out about...

Well i finally did it. I actually changed all the oil on my many pieces of mower equipment and i put sta-bil in the gas. No more hard starts in the spring. Put sta-bil in my generator and chain saws too. Now i can use that pole saw anytime i want and the gas will still be good. The generator...

Got some Amsoil Cetane Boost Additive from a friend. It says add contents of can (16 oz.) to 100 or 200 gallons of fuel. Will boost cetane 3 to 7 points. Add 1 can to 100 gallons for maximum benefits. My friend says be careful about how much you put in your tank because that stuff is strong...
