The part # at Rock Auto for the Denso filter my car takes is 1501006. The number JC Whitney has listed is W0133-1639112. Do you think it's the same filter? How can I find out for sure?
I bought some at Target for $3.29. I went to NAPA and O'Reilly, and couldn't believe they both sell their own brand for $3.99. I know I didn't get the best deal. I didn't feel like going to Walmart, and I didn't feel like buying a jug. Would you compare Mobil Special to something like...
I replaced the plugs in my KIA today... I figured platinum plugs would be good enough. I pulled out the old ones and found out they were double platinum. This really shouldn't be a problem right? I can tell the car is running better already. The OE plugs were Champion Double-Platinum Power with...
Someone I work with is looking for a cheap car. He only wants to spend about $4,000.
Which one do you think would be a better buy?
Spectra - 80,995 miles - $3,993
Saturn - 67,629 miles - $4,499
So I bought a gallon of 5W-30 (GF-4, SM) yesterday. I got it on sale at Kmart for $8.99!
It says... "Already exceeds 2010 GF-5 engine protection requirements" and "Exceeds API SM and ILSAC GF-4"
What's the different between what I got and the new (GF-5, SN) stuff???

The car has about 74,250 miles on it. I used Kendall Liquid Titanium syn blend. I topped it off with O'Reilly's full synthetic. I still plan on waiting until it's been 6,ooo miles to change it. Any thoughts or ideas about what's going on? I haven't decided on what oil I'm going to use next. I've...
I drive an 02 Sentra with a 2.5. I was burning A LOT of oil. I've tried a few different kinds (even PP) of oil (5W-30) and a couple different additives (Rislone, CD-2). Nothing was really helping with consumption at all.
A couple of weeks ago I switched from Kendall syn blend to GTX. At the...
That seems like a good deal. Has it always been that price???
Is there a better oil for that price? I've only seen one other high mileage syn blend, and that is Kendall GT-1 High Mileage.
I've only owned the car for about 6 months. It burned up the conventional oil that came in the car. So when I changed the oil for the first time, I tried Max Life synthetic blend. It still burned up about 2 quarts (same as the conventional) after only about 2,500 miles. I topped it off and added...
