Is Prestone Orange a good replacement for red dexcool?

Is Formula Shell dino oil good or bad or average?

Do you guys prefer to change your oil hot or cold and why? I'm used to changing it hot. I've done it this way because I was taught that way. but now that I think about it, you may get more old oil volume out when it has cooled and drained out of the engine.

I am starting to doubt that the problem is truly the fluid. It has a p1870 code. I am starting to believe that it is a valve body solenoid of some type.

It has 139000 miles in case that makes a difference.

Yesterday the vehicle showed a code that it was slipping. It still shifts well as far as I can tell. I have a feeling that I should change the atf. Can anyone tell me what type and how much? and recomended brands too. Thanks.

Most people recommend that oil be drained when it's hot as opposed to cold. Supposedly more stuff comes out. But really, should it matter if you change your oil and filter? It seems that more oil would come out because none of it is still dripping down from the top of the engine. And it seems...

As many people know, most Ducati's except 2004+ ST models came with dry clutches. Now most motorcyclist use motorcycle oils because of their wet clutches. What are the differences in motorcycle and automotive oil? Would there be advantages to using automotive oils on a ducati dry clutch?

How are lsd mtfs different from non-lsd mtfs? Can you put a lsd mtf in a non-lsd transmission? I have an older 93 es300 with a e53 trans that I don't think is lsd, and I think the synchronizers are slow. so would using a lsd mtf help?

Molakule, How is your fluid different/better compared to Redline?

So are you recommending just MTL-R or MTL-R modified for GL5? How have these done in Toyota FWD Transmissions?

Actually, I'm in Georgia now. The low today was 17 degrees. I've considered MTL-R, but don't know enought about MTL-R. I know that Molakule knows his stuff. blocked out like a block of rubber.

Good questions Scout. The vehicle has 76,000 miles on a 93. Pretty low miles, but that means it was probably locally driven. 1st and second gear are like blocked out before the car warms up. It'll get into 3rd if I'm going down a hill and skip 1st and second. Or if I need to get into first I...

Am I needing a thicker or thinner lube?

John Browning, is your camry a V6? Do you live in an area that gets cold? I'm seriously considering MT90 or MT90/MTL. or RP

Could my problems be mainly attributed to the fact that I am using a 80w90? It seems that I have problems only when it's real cold.

I haven't read any threads on how to change the PS fluid besides just the turkey baster method. How do you change out PS fluid? Drain it? or flush it? flush seems to encourage the possibility of running the pump dry. Maybe just turn the wheel while the engine is not running to release some...

I drive a 93 Lexus ES300 5speed. It's a really great car. Although when it's cold it doesn't always allow me to get into 1st or second. And sometimes, if I don't shift just right into second, it'll grind. Sometimes third too. If I shift quickly and the revs don't drop too much as I shift, it's...

ok. so what are the dangers of blow-by. and is it permanant or just a temporary danger?

Which is more effective, using distilled water induction cleaning or chemicals such as seafoam? or even compared to FP or 44k?
