Saw this the other day at Walmart. I don't know if it's been posted here yet? Front: Back:

The lady just acquired an '04 Chevy 1500 with the 4.3L V6. It has about 108k miles so it's a bit overdue for the 100k maintenance. I haven't yet seen the vehicle so some of this stuff is just general. I'll admit that I haven't yet worked on a Chevy 4.3L V6, but this is what I've come up with so...

I was at Walmart yesterday and spotted the new QSUD bottles in the 5QT with dexos labeling. They didn't have any older 5W-20 5QT bottles for me to take pics of. Prices remained the same as the older bottles. Also, I saw the new bottles in 5W-30, which had a different dexos license number...

The other weekend I changed the spark plugs on my 2009 Mazda6 3.7L V6. It wasn't as difficult as I had thought.I didn't take pictures of every single step, so in-between details were not photographed and should be relatively easy to figure out. This is a hastily put together DIY so I will likely...

This is just a rant on my recent experience with Centric Premium [120 series] rotors on my Mazda6. About 25k miles ago, re-did the front rotors and pads with Centric premium 120-series rotors [these were cast in China bought from discount brake warehouse online as Amazon did not stock them at...

Publication 4009: Brake Rotors From China I was reading and searching one day about brake rotors from China, this is a very long (150+ pages) and technical read [technical in the sense of it's use of terminology]. I still haven't finished reading through it all, but I found some things rather...

I failed smog this afternoon. High NOx on the 15mph. I made sure to drive for about 10 minutes on the freeway to get the cat hot. Specs on the car: 1994 Civic EX coupe 5spd, D15B with all of the D16Z6 intake and emission stuff (bought it like this but it passed when I bought it, should I go get...

I remember on the older forum there was a post as to why motor oil isn't ideal for a manual transmissions or transaxles, something about it not containing the correct EP additives or fritction modifiers. Also something about how using motor oil for honda transmissions in place of honda MTF is...

I just bought a new Magnaflow 15641 complete exhaust for my 94 civic ex coupe, and the 2 bolt flange on the s-pipe is incompletely welded (it's only welded half-way around). I've contacted the seller and have contact magnaflow still awaiting reply, its day 3), I was just wondering how hard...

http://www.stant.com/news/index.cfm?location_id=199&id=3431&show=newsitem anyone have one? Looks pretty neat. I may pick one up and be the guinea pig...

Ok. So i dont like the idea of all that extra stuff in those 'all-in-one' service cans like artic coll etc the leak seal is what i dont like. So i am going to buy a manifold gauge set, probably either a good robinair set or the cheap harborfreight one and a vacumm pump as well. First off, my...

i just got my work truck today, a chevy s10 with 115k miles on it, V6 auto 2wd singe cab i suppose its a 98 with that many miles, i'm a bit lazy to check the door jamb. Anyway, there is quite a noticeable whine/drone/goran type of sound while driving, independant of RPM, but dependant on speed...

I'm lookin for either alum or copper 3/8" i.d. or 10mm i.d. washers, commonly used for sealing the banjo bolts on brake systems. MCMaster doesn't have them; the o.d. is too big at 7/8ths. I.D: .3750 in +/- .015 O.D: .5625 in +/- .015 Thickness: .030 in to .050 in material: copper or aluminum. I...

i changed the oil out yesterday on my 94 civic ex vtec, approx 7500 miles on the tropartic 10w30. Some things to note, it used about 1.5 qts of total makeup oil; i spend quite a bit of time in the upper rev range. Was using an 'oversized' PL24458. Sorry i didn't collect a sample, did the change...

I've searched, and it seems that mobil 1 75w90 is good all 'round in the toyotas. This includes the front and rear diffs, and the transfer case as well as the manual gear box. But at $9 a quart at kragen/autozone, I think I may go with amsoil or redline. My buddy's taco is hard to shift, really...

Texaco/Havoline recently came out with a G 05 formula named "custom-made antifreeze." Has anyone seen it in stores? Anyone have any good info on it? I just searched google and checked Havoline's website. Would be a good alternative to clear-as-water Zerex G 05 if it were dyed more yellow.

Feels better, shifts are smoother. Although, my tranny was 1/4qt overfilled from previous (how i dont know, but i'm guessing he used the backup light switch to fill up). I know over filling a auto trans will affect it, but i dont know the extent of overfilling a manual. It didn't feel odd at...

I dont know all the details about talk about why he'd retired, but he was diagnosed with lung cancer 4 months ago. I had always thought he was a great anchorman/newsreporter.

and not the green it used to be. Supposedly is the same chemistry minus the die. Helped a friend change out a leaky rad in a 98 civic ex, and bought some coolant as well as replaced the thermo while it was all drained. The new blue coolant has quite a bit less 'smell' than the original long...

Can a faulty or stuck open thermostat cause a car to get bad gas milage in the city, but great (normal) milage on the freeway? My brother's civic gets bad mgp in the city; about 9 gallons to every 140miles, but average, about 26mpg-32mpg on the freeway. This is on a 1994 Honda Civic EX (sedan)...
