So I went to the gas station today, and prior to fueling I filled up my tank with a bottle of Techron cleaner. Once the bottle was empty, I threw it away and began to pump gas as I normally do. Right before I was about to screw the gas cap back onto my vehicle, I noticed that the little metal...

Good evening folks, My younger brother asked me today if I would accompany him on taking a look at a used Ford Fusion tomorrow, as he is in the market for a car. It's a 2007 6 cylinder model, auto tranny, with 116k miles on the clock. Is there anything in particular to look out for while we...

I took a few photos of a parade that the Nascar team haulers participated in earlier this evening. The race is at Autoclub Speedway this weekend and every year our local Bass Pro Shop hosts this parade. This is all just about two miles from the track, and just a 5 minute walk from my house...

I got my iPhone 4s brand new from Sprint in October 2012. Coming up on a year and a half of using it and I've been noticing that it's not operating as smoothly as it used to. Some things that I've experienced are apps freezing up repeatedly, frozen home screens, jerky screen swipes/motion...

Hi all, I did some cleaning in my garage today and I found an old filter in the process (along with a few brand spanking new bottles of QSGB that I forgot I had!). I dissected an STP (Champ Labs) S2 filter that never made it on to one of our family vehicles. My apologies for the bad cutting...

Do any VW folks know the oil capacity of a 2001 Golf (2.0 engine)? I've been searching high and low on the web, but the answers seem to be different all over the place in terms of capacity. I would reference my owner's manual, but it didn't come with one (bought the car used). Normally, I take...

Hi all, I purchased a '98 C1500 last month and I am about to possibly take on my second major project on it. I have a radiator that is leaking on the seam where the plastic meets the aluminum. To save money, I would like to attempt to replace it myself. I was wondering if anybody can shed some...

Hi all, I just wanted some input from other members: One of my friends is selling his 1998 Chevy Silverado. It's a 3 door, 5.0 liter V8 model. He added a K&N air filter, a Flowmaster exhaust system, a lift winch in the bed, and a tanneau cover. It's at 160,000 miles. The exterior is in great...

Hey guys, new member here and I thought that I would start off by asking this question: I've been running Formula Shell 10w-30 conventional in my '90 Acura Legend. Yesterday, while at Autozone, I picked up 5 qts. of Quaker State 10w-30 dino and a STP oil filter for $13.99 (intended for my mom's...
