    Best filter below 10 dollars?

    Just bought a supertech FL2 and compared it to fram . They are exactly the same except for the grippy can . Also listed for 10000 miles . At $4 ,I will take my chances . I have driven over 2 million miles in my lifetime with no engine failures on cars up to 525000 miles . All this BS on here...

    Toilet fill valve replacement/modification

    Yes , this fits better than the Kohler one with the rubber band that is supposed to snap in at different heights. I gave up on those. They always leaked right out of the package . The korky one gets slimy even with good city water and that is why i like the hydroclean feature on the 660. I...

    Toilet fill valve replacement/modification

    I know that thread is older but recently I found out that the new Danco HC660 hydroclean will fit the older Kohler Rialto toilets. The fill valve will go down to 9.5 inches tall and just fits the top and side of the toilet. I am not sure it fits the other low profile models San Raphael, Rialto...

    When to drain and fill ATF for Toyota

    There are only 5 transmission fluids i have found that are engineered to meet the WS specifications. I have not found any of them that are licensed or approved by Toyota except WS which used to be made for them by exxon-mobil . I can not find the current manufacturer in the USA. In Japan they...

    2010 Corolla cartridge filter (Denso) @ 10000 miles with pictures

    What gets me is that this car always had dealer service before I got it . Maybe Billy or whoever the flunkee they had doing 5 tenths oil changes that day was feeling strong. I bet it took 50-100 foot pounds to get it off. My friend the Toyota tech says that he sees cars all the time with the...

    2010 Corolla cartridge filter (Denso) @ 10000 miles with pictures

    Bought a 2010 Corolla last summer with 84000 miles . The oil had just been changed so i left it until the maintenance light came on at 4500 miles. Decided to change it at 5000 miles but the oil filter cap was stuck tight. Changed the oil with 5w20 . After a while I ordered the proper filter cap...

    can i use 0w40 in car that calls for 5w30?

    I was gifted some liqua moly 0w40 synthoil energy recently. I was wondering the effects if i used it in my sons 2009 Sonata with 72000 miles? He is currently using Quaker State WM bulk fill 5w30 and 3500-5000 mile changes. The car burns no oil between changes. Just worried about the 100c cst...

    Why bother with additives - its all just mineral oil

    I was looking up the MSDS of Lucas UCL because i got some free. I noticed that is all just Distillates, petroleum, hydrotreated heavy paraffinic oils ,which is just a Synonym for mineral oil. I found this chart that explains about how much cheap mineral oil we have in many house hold products...

    Rock Auto customers rates Fram high mileage filter

    Oil Filters & Heart Icons Tom's Story I was so enthused about the FRAM High Mileage® Oil Filter that I cut it open after my daughter unscrewed it from her car's engine last weekend. This oil filter has a little plastic basket inside that contains FRAM's TRT™ additive gel to help balance oil pH...

    0w 20 or 5w20?

    Some 0w20 is group 4 or 5 and lots of 5w is group 3 , but you have to check each oil. Downside to thinner oils are that they will burn faster in an older engine. I still use 5w30 in most small engines or straight 30. Never lost one yet and I have owned hundreds. 0w20 was created mostly for...

    My $200 beater - 2003 Pontiac Vibe

    I would have a B-G coolant exchange done with cleaner put in first or do it yourself. None of the rest is necessary. Toyota water pumps can last 300000 miles. http://www.uspmotorsports.com/Engine/Coo...pJ4DhoColbw_wcB

    Is there anything that might wear down a starter?

    Yes , there are things that make a starter wear out faster. Corrosion on the cables or internally will do that. So will a weak battery. warm climates burn them up faster too. I am guessing that your mechanic used either a China new starter or ( less likely) a ND factory rebuild. I have owned...

    Subaru SP170 - Stalls when throttle opened quickly

    I too would verify fuel supply first before getting too crazy with anything else. I'm really curious as to why the idle mixture was able to be adjusted from bottomed out to 1.25 turns out with no apparent effect. Because there is an air leak. Very basic small engine diagnosis.

    Subaru SP170 - Stalls when throttle opened quickly

    Do not ever drill jets especially when chasing a problem like this. You will NEVER get it correct and it will not fix the problem. You either have an air leak or a bad fuel line or gasket somewhere in the fuel system that is not sealing. I did not see a fuel pump in the diagram , but i did not...
