FIRST Oil sample was Renewable Lubricants 0W20 Second was whatever the dealer uses. I'll be due for another soon. Will likely use Renewable Lubricants 0W20 again. Vehicle has just shy of 70K on it now, and has Renewable Lubricants 0W20 in it currently. Code OIL Renewable...

I had the ATF in my 2009 Toyota Sienna flushed (BG 13 quart machine) with Renewable Lubricants' "LV6" (Low Viscosity) ATF. The ATF was original and had 62K miles on it. It shifts exactly the same as before, which is good. A few things I've read suggest that the Toyota transmissions can be...

I (may) be acquiring a vehicle with a Ford 4R100 or E4OD transmission in an E450 chassis. 1997 model, 37K on the unit, V10 engine. No known transmission fluid change, but plenty of engine oil changes over the time frame. I plan on doing a 'drop the plan, replace the filter + fluid' and possibly...

I have a (new to me, but used) 2009 Sienna LE (the 2wd version). According to Toyota, the WS fluid is a lifetime fill. I'd like to know if the fluid is especially weak, the transmissions require more frequent fluid changes, etc.... When I pull the dipstick and check it, it seems fine and smells...

I have an '03 KIA Sedona. The P/S fluid is "KIA PSF III" which, as many threads here indicate, is probably replaceable with any quality ATF of at least Mercon III specs. I've exchanged 1 quart through the "turkey baster" method using some left over ATF+4 I have. The color is good and it sounds...

I have a 2003 KIA Sedona. By and large it's been a great vehicle, and I want to keep it as long as possible. When we bought the vehicle (used) it had 14,000 miles on it and we had the dealer flush the transmission. Between then and 50K, I'd pull a quart or so out the dipstick and replace it --...

I have a '92 Buick Roadmaster (all Buick Roadmasters came with a Chevy 350) with a bit more than 298,000 miles on it. This year due to where I live I will probably have to park outside, and it's gonna get cold. The average for January is 17F but it often gets much colder than that. I would...

At around 35K miles I replaced (turkey baster method, took a long time) the P/S fluid in my '02 Accord V6. It was nasty. I replaced it with GENUINE Honda P/S fluid, which seemed expensive. Now it's dark again (55K miles). I want to know about replacing it with something else (like ATF). Is the...

I have an '03 Kia Sedona (minivan) with the 3.5L V6. Almost 35K miles, 20K+ of it ours. It's been a very good vehicle, we really like it! I've used both Citgo 10W-40 and Mystik 15W-40 in the summer months (it seems to prefer the Mystik, it's pretty heavy duty), and one flavor or another of...

I've got an '02 Accord V6. Largely very happy with the car, and I'm a pretty picky guy. The car has just shy of 50,000 miles on the clock. New plugs at 30K, new air filter recently, always maintained well, 5W-20 oil. My commute doesn't vary much, and I get a very consistent 24-25 mpg. I would...

I've got an '02 Accord V6 that is going to need new tires this spring. I want all-seasons only, but they need not be that great in the snow - that's what I've got snow tires for. The car is a commuter with a 50/50 split on highway/city. Wear is important, but stability (sidewall) and grip are...

I've always wanted to know what *really* happens when oil and A/F mix (assume at operating temperature of an engine). I've heard it forms a "sludge" or an acid. What really happens? If it does form something, will repeated short OCIs flush out whatever it is, assuming the leak is fixed? I've...

The oil (Citgo Supergard 5W-20) was in use for just shy of 3000 miles. Vehicle has nearly 40K miles on it, 2002 Honda Accord V6. Both FP60 and JB Fuel Additive were used, approx. 75% of the tanks. Analysis, etc... through Terry Dyson. **NOTE** This was the PREMIUM kit from Mr. Dyson.

Get one of those on-demand jobbies. I'm told they are awesome. Back that up with one (or both) of your existing 50's but I'd use just the on-demand guy. In cold, out hot, for as long as you've got gas and water.

Here: http://jamponi.net/sparkplugs/ are some pictures of my '02 Accord V6 sparkplugs after 25K miles (from new). Number 3 has what appears to be very very minor discoloration similar to what one might get with fuel additives, etc... The rest, except number 5, look fine. The sparkplugs are...

Can I use Amsoil's Universal ATF in the power steering (instead of the Honda OEM fluid) without adverse effects? Edit: fix

I have a 2002 Accord LX V6, just under 25K miles. I took a look at the brake fluid (brown), and the power steering fluid (darker brown), and the transmission fluid (OK). I have also had trouble with the cruise control lately. I will be using ONLY Honda OEM fluids when I replace. Here are my...

I have a 2002 Accord V6 (previous gen. accord with the 200 HP (yeah right) V6). With the Blizzak WS-50's and the driving I do I get 20 mpg, sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more. I drive about 11 miles one way to work, 60% or more of that is highway at 55-60 mph. What can I do to...

No. The car was driven by my wife. She now has a minivan and I have taken over this vehicle. I'm going to run 2 tanks of gas through it to establish a baseline for mileage, because a) new driver b) cold snap c) completely different driving patterns (daily to and from work vs. 2-3 times a week)...
