I tried to order some Champion filters from RA because they are on closeout. When checking out I get a message stating, "Part # COS8A cannot ship to California because we do not have documentation required by Proposition 65 from CHAMPION FILTER." I'll be so glad when I escape this state!

After looking around at a lot of vehicles, I came across this one when looking at a Liberty and a Toyota Matrix. Aesthetically, it is was the best one I was looking at. I'm a little concerned over the timing chain issues on the 4.0L, but when it started up from a cold start the engine is quiet...

So the used 2001 Ranger 4x4 I picked up has a leaking seal at the front axle where the CV half shaft connects. Since I've got to pull the half shaft to replace the seal, is there any harm in replacing the boots and re-greasing the joint? I've never had to deal with CV joints before. I did check...

So it looks like the Highlander did not make it. Somehow I don't think this will buff out: The kid is alright. He has his own car, but that night he took the Highlander. Now I need a replacement for his brother who will be driving to the next town soon. There are some low mileage Rangers with...

Dad passed away a few years back and we never got around to cleaning out his shop/garage. This was due to family issues at the time. It's a 5 hour drive to get there and there was a lot of stuff to move so I did not take very many pictures. I'll get some more pics next trip. He had a few project...

So my youngest son came home with a low mileage 2015 Jeep Renegade 4x4 with the 1.4L and a 6spd manual transmission. I can't seem to find out a lot about the transmission. The manual calls for MOPAR C Series Manual & Dual Dry Clutch Transmission Fluid. The must think a lot of it because runs...

On Monday we sold the CRV and purchased a used 2018 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk with less than 4k on the odometer. We were looking at a few other options but kept coming back to this one. Apparently it has every option available to a Trailhawk. The dealer already changed oil on it so now I have to...

OK, I took your advice and passed on the PT Cruiser for my son. Labeling it as a prophylactic was downright hilarious by the way. It seems the used car market around here is just insane. Finding a low cost, decent shape car with less than 150k on the clock is getting difficult. I don't know if...

I'm looking for a inexpensive car for my son. I found a 2003 PT Cruiser with the non-turbo engine and a manual transmission with less than 50k miles. Any known issues or things to look for?

I'm looking at a low mileage 2013 Honda CRV EX-L AWD. How is the reliability of this generation of CRVs? Are there any known issues to be aware of? Thanks in advance.

I saw this on another forum: http://www.wranglerforum.com/f210/stealership-1666650.html#post24922338 It's dealerships like this that give the rest a bad name.

At work we use coolant in our industrial chillers. These are the ones we use: http://tek-tempinstruments.com/tektemp_product/nrd-550-liquid-to-liquid/ The chillers run at about 28C - 33C. At first we were using Dexcool. The problem we ran into was that our flow meters started leaking and we...

My 1998 Wrangler starter gave up the ghost. I was looking at Rockauto and was wondering if anyone had any experience with the AC Delco Professional series? They seem to have new and rebuilt. Or is there another preferred brand? Rockauto lists a new unit from Pure Energy, USA Industries reman...

As some of you might know, my wife had a fender bender: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubb...olt#Post3686806 So after wasting a weeks time getting someone out to look at the car, they called and said that the LCA broke because of a mechanical failure, it was not a manufacturers defect...

Greetings, On Sunday my wife hit a concrete post that the light in a the parking lot sits on. She had parked to the right of it, went into the store came out, started the car started to pull forward, and she said the car veered to the left and ran into the pole. I asked my two sons who were...

Here's the second UOA on my Cruze. Wear metals came down nicely. I also put in a magnetic drain plug during this period. Refill was with Amsoil. OIL BOT 303 MILES IN USE 11,102 MILES 21,140 SAMPLE TAKEN 5/28/2014 ALUMINUM 9 CHROMIUM 0 IRON 16 COPPER 17 LEAD 2 TIN 0 CADMIUM 0 VANADIUM 0...

Here's the UOA on our Volt after 23,662 miles, and 20 months. During that time we estimate that we burned approximately 112 gallons of fuel. All but a handful of times did the engine oil get up to operating temperature due to the nature of the Volt programming and how we use it. I would define...

Here's the UOA from my 2013 Chevy Cruze manual transmission. The factory fill is a Castrol BOT 303. The specs on the BOT 303 are elusive, but what I've found so far is that it has a cSt @ 100ºC of 6.2, a pour point of -66C, and a flash point of 232C. Here's what came out: OIL BOT 303 MILES IN...

As the title says I've been looking for .22 Magnum ammo to feed our Winchester 9422M when I go shooting with the kids, but have been unable to find any for some time. I've tried the usual spots like: Midway Natchez PSA CTD Cabelas Bass Pro Ammo to go SGAmmo Lucky Gunner Brownells WalMart Big5...

Our 2012 Chevy Volt is now 19 months old with over 22k on the odometer. The OLM is still at 76% and according to the computer the car should have consumed 111 gallons of gasoline. So on paper I should be good to go until the 24 months OCI that GM recommends. In the manual they state to go by the...
