I like to call it the Wilson Technologies scan. Somehow an organization got hold of thousands of people credit card numbers and ATM accounts and charged MANY people either $9.95 or $12.95 for something labeled Wilson Technologies OR possibly other labels. On the statement you get a phone # to...

I have a 2000 Ford Focus with 72,000 miles on it. I got the car at 49,000 miles on it. So far the only thing I've neglected to maintain is the cooling system. The radiator leaks coolant VERY slowly. The problem is with the radiator itself so I'm going to be changing the radiator itself. But...

Anyone know who makes the oil for Autozone? Their synthetic is $3.50. +/- a few cents. Anyone try it yet? Just caught a glimpse of it while at autozone so I figured I'd ask.

Little bit of this and little bit of that? I was thinking about the 6 quarts I've been buying for my girlfriends car since I've been finding good prices. In the end I may end up with 4 quarts of different oils. I'd like to mix them all up and see what happens. Anyone ever done this?

I'm not sure what it is but it freaked me out yesterday. We were driving and from a stop once she hits past 2000 RPM's you can hear this rattle from under the hood. It's not a ping because I've heard that before. BUT I've never heard a knock honestly. It doesn't sound like a marble in a can or...

The car is a 1998 Ford Expedition 4.6L RWD with 70K miles. I've never owned or worked on a RWD car so I know nothing about Rear Ends. I will be replacing my sisters Rear End fluid with Mobil1 Synthetic 75W-90. I'm not sure what weight it has right now. I was wondering if this is okay? As said...

Just wanted an answer from the guys over at Purolator about the issues of Pureone filters being too restrictive. This issue doesn't bother me one bit but I was curious to see how they would reply. They replied exactly as I thought they would. ME HI there Tom. First off let me say I'm a big fan...

Just curious. I had Mobil1 0W-20 in my 2000 Ford Focus at one point. I've also had 5W-20 and 5W-30 and I felt no difference between any of them. no increased gas mileage. Actually the 0W-20 might have felt a BIT smoother. All Motorcraft filters too. I was also running the 0W-20 during summer...

Are you guys paying for it? Last time I checked oil analysis was expensive! I've got 2 bottles ready to go from a kit I received a while ago and they should be free. Not sure who the company is at the moment. Just curious. BTW the 2 samples should be 2000 Ford Focus 2.0L with Motorcraft Filter...

Hey guys. I've been having problems for a long time now with my car getting horrible gas mileage and generally running like crap. It feels underpowered and idles bad. EVERY once in a while the idle would completely smooth out and she'd run like Greased Lightning. This was not often at all. Well...

So I'd like to think what everyone thinks of this. My buddy has always been a believer in using Mobil1 Synthetic Motor Oil and Mobil1 Oil Filter. Used it in his 1995 Camaro Z28 for years (and boy did he take care of that thing). He now owns a 1997 Buick Riviera with the L67 engine (Supercharged...

Anyone have any experience with these. My girlfriend is due for an air filter change very soon and I was thinking I may put in a cotton Gauze filter such as a K&N rather than another paper filter. K&N are pretty expensive and the Kool Blues seem to be a much better deal. But I'd like to know if...

The ones in a light beige bottle. Cost about $10-11 a bottle but well worth it. Did my friends car with a clay bar from Mothers and used all the Meguiars products and this is what turned out 4 hours later.

Hey guys. Sorry if this another stupid question to you guys. Rather than asking I would usually just try it but I have a few concerns. The car is a 2000 Ford Focus with 2.0L Zetec engine. About 70K on the Odometer. Engine has been properly treated with Auto-RX about 10K miles ago. The filter is...

Just saw them sitting seperate from the rest of the oil filters at the New and Improved Pepboys (I say that with a chuckle and a bit of sarcasm) Don't know anything about them other than the fact that they're supposed to hold more dirt (I guess Purolator decided to jump on the recent "Extended...

For the longest time I was curious as to how well this stuff worked since their was a time where I used everything from AMSOIL. Well I finally purchased a bottle. At first I couldn't figure out whether it was a polish ONLY or whether it was sort of a polish/wax. So I called amsoil and he told me...

I remember on the Z-Max commercials Carol Shelby comes out and says that he puts a bottle of Z-max in every one of the cars that leaves his garage. Is this true or was it just Z-max paying him to lie and if so why would he put his reputation on the line? BTW sorry if this has been discussed before.

Hello all. I have a 2000 Ford Focus 2.0L Zetec that takes Mercon V Transmission Fluid for the Power Steering unit. Now I bought the car used so I am trying to flush all the fluids out and replace with new synthetic. I have already done my motor and trans. Now my question is would I be able to...

I received my filter wrap from Outerwear yesterday. Custom made to fit my cone filter that came with my K&N FIPK2. Everything came out to a total of $21 I believe. Reason I got it was because of all the info I was reading on these forums about how teh K&N filter does not filter out some dirt...

Hi there. First post on the boards. Pretty cool place and very informative I have to say. I guess I'll just get to my questions. I have a 2000 Ford Focus 2.0L DOHC Zetec engine. I currently am running Mobil1 5W-30 Tri-Synthetic with a M1-209 Mobil1 oil filter. I will be switching to 5W-20 Royal...
