I use Penzoil Platinum full synth 5w 30 religiously in my 2017 Fiesta ST. One of my 5 quart jugs sprung a small leak at the very bottom. I was was able to catch it in time and thus not much was lost. But the thing that I now ponder, is if the additive pack is now mostly gone, due to the leak...

I recently put 2 liters of fresh Ravenol MTF-2 fluid into my 2017 Ford Fiesta ST, 6 speed manual trans (Getrag B6), which specs WSS-M2C200-D2. In the US, Ford uses their DCTF, overseas they use an LV MTF (most likely rebranded Castrol Syntrans FE 75w). I know that the DCTF is basically an MTF...

So, I flushed my brakes the other day (fluid was black, yuck) and while it was being done, my brother got overzealous with his pumping and the reservoir got too low and air started coming out of the bleed valve that I was working on (driver rear). I quickly realized it and ran over and filled...

So, I heard this great podcast a few years ago thanx to my brother who downloaded it for me. It tells the story of GM and Toyota getting together to build the Corolla and Geo Metro at the Nummi plant in California. This is a great listen for anybody, car guy or not! The industrial/cultural...

So I added another 10oz. bottle of lubegard red to my transmission. That's almost double of what they recommend. I added the first bottle a month after a transmission filter/pan drop with Castrol transmax. I just added the second 10oz. bottle two months later. No real serious issues with...

My 1987 Ciera w/the 4t440 trans has only 53k miles and is still on the factory fill (with the exception of two quarts that I swapped out via the dipstick tube with a fluid extractor). The fluid kinda looks like fresh motor oil with a reddish tint (pics below). It smells ok and I don't see any...

My mechanic just replaced all of my mounts. The one issue I'm having is that he put a solid rubber mount in place of the factory hydraulic (oil filled) mount. He claimed that it will last much longer and not leak seeing as they are not fluid filled. Well, as soon as I left the shop noticed way...

I ordered a brand new ACDelco OEM Speedometer cable for my '87 Cutlass Ciera. Do I need to lube it up before installing it? I would think that a brand spanking new cable need NOT be lubed by me, that they do it at the factory. It's not an aftermarket cheapo speedo cable, it's an OEM...
