My wife said that I have an oil hoarding problem and that I need help. Confession is apparently the first step of the recovery process. I have 130 quarts in storage. Between our two cars, we typically use about 25 quarts a year. That would mean I only have a 5 year stash, which I feel is not...

I'd like to know what members of the BITOG forum would choose for their vehicles. (Let's assume that cost is equal.) A. 12,000 mile OCI with high-quality 100% synthetic oil (such as Amsoil signature series, which is rated at 25k miles) + very high quality filter. B. 5,000 mile OCI with generic...

I've got a 2006 Corolla that has a spot of rust at the mounting bolt hole for the rear spoiler. I removed the double-sided foam adhesive. I'm going to repair the rust and remount the spoiler. What is the best product to use to mount the spoiler so that I don't get rust in this area again...

I finally decided to probe the rocker panel rust on my 1999 Nissan Altima. Debris just kept falling as I was clearing the area out. Besides this rust, the car runs great. My question: In your opinion, is this car worth saving? If so, how would you go about the repairs?

Just wanted to know if anyone has tried this product available at Sam's Club. On the jug, they show a truck with the hood open, so I assume it is OK to use to clean the engine compartment. Although it does state that it is not for use on aluminum...

I've got an 11 year old car with white paint. I used 303 Aerospace on the exterior rubbers and the black from the rag I was using appears to have penetrated into the white paint. Never using a clay bar before, I decided to give it a try. The clay bar is just too fine to be able to clean the...

I have a 1999 Nissan Altima. The oil filter is in a bad location, which always leads to oil down my arm and plenty on the floor. These filter relocation kits look like a good idea, but I would like to know how reliable they are. Thanks.

Sorry. I'm a newb and don't know if bypass is the same as an oil filter relocation kit. I have a 1999 Nissan Altima and the filter is a bear to replace. Hidden location deep under the car and replacement always results in lots of oil down the arm and on the floor. I'd like to relocate my...
