Hey all, Just bought a new 2018 VW Golf Sportwagen. This is my first time using cartridge filters and it's harder getting information on efficiency. Between the Fram CH11784, Purolator L28161, and Napa/Wix 100024, which would have the higher efficiency? These seem to be the only readily...

I was looking at getting a Husqvarna Automower to do all the mowing for me when I move into my new place. I was curious if anyone on this forum owns one of these or a robotic mower from another brand. The main concern I have is how easy it would be for someone to steal it. Can anyone share their...

They basically work like air filter indicators and will show yellow or red when the tires drop below 10% of the desired pressure. Here is an example: http://www.amazon.com/Quick-Pressure-PSI...lve+stem+cap+40 Has anyone ever tried them? I was thinking about purchasing some for my 2000 Focus...

There are a few products on the market right now that claim they can wash and detail a vehicle just as well, with no hose or buckets required. You just spray the product on the car and wash it off with a microfiber towel. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post links to company websites on here, but...

but the insurance costs are insane! i have the money for the car but i'm not sure i want to pay the insurance on it! my insurance would be twice as much every 6 months as it is now with just liability on my focus. not to mention my property taxes would be a good 10 times more! why is owning a...

so who else leaves their oil filter on for 2 OCIs? i use pureones on all my cars now and am thinking about going with a synthetic media filter and leaving it on for 15,000 miles (2 OCIs). i'm mainly doing this so that i won't have to deal with the mess of taking off the oil filter on every...

i definitely learned a couple things from reading this article so i thought it might be helpful for some of you. {removed non site sponsor link} i found this quote interesting: Quote: Some of these organizations, such as the API and ILSAC, have reduced friction modifier amounts in order to...

are these just a waste of money? do they not do anything?

the car is a 2000 ford focus 2.0L SPI. under hard acceleration the transmission will not upshift unless I let off the throttle. it will literally just keep revving past the redline. i'm guessing the problem is the transmission is not getting the signal from the car to shift. i don't know what...

i've tried tough stuff and resolve and they work alright i guess but sometimes i have to go back and spray the areas 2 or 3 times before the spot will finally come out. and i'd say a good 50% of the time they will just fade the spots but not clean them. there has to be something better out...

what's a good product to use to get plastic trim pieces looking shiny and new again? would armor all work when pitted against the elements each and every day? or is there something better? also i found out recently never to wax black plastic. it looks awesome right after the detail but the next...

i had been planning all week to change my oil today and i finally got some free time around midday to get it done. i checked the weather and they were calling for rain to start around 3 and last throughout the rest of the night. so i figured i should have plenty time to get it done before then...

i checked out prices at walmart today: SM quaker state was $19 for a 5qt jug and new SN edge with syntec was on rollback for $21. i thought i read somewhere on here that most of the sopus stuff is already SN, the packages just haven't been updated yet. is that true? if not, when will it be...

who makes prime guard oil filters? is it purolator? and also what's the difference between a group 7 oil filter and a purolator classic? the reason i'm asking is because i have access to a warehouse that stocks both of these brands. i'm curious if anybody has any experience with them and if...

the focus is gaining 20 hp on the previous model and is expected to get 6 mpg better on the highway! that's insane! this is definitely my next car as soon as i get some money saved up! http://blogs.edmunds.com/strategies/2010...;mktid=cj260233

went to the local walmart after work today to find some oil so i could knock out an oil change tonight. i was specifically looking for either mobil 1 ep or edge 5w-30 so that i could run it 15,000 miles with no worries. well i get there and it turns out wally world doesn't have ANY edge and only...

i got a job a few weeks ago delivering auto parts for a warehouse. i drive the car about 150 miles a day and most of it is stop and go. i'll leave the warehouse and travel to a customer's shop. i'll turn the car off while i unload the parts and then start it up again and continue on to the other...

i want to buy an air filter that can be reused. i know about amsoil and afe, but are there any more options? which of those two would have better efficiency, the amsoil or the afe? and also are the donaldsons the same as amsoil? where can i find out which donaldson part # i would need for my...

so basically i can turn my car off, take the key out the ignition, open and shut the doors, and lock the car and the radio stays on. the owner before me did install an aftermarket stereo deck and some amps so i figured when he installed all this he must have connected the radio wire to a hot...

anyone have one? how hard are they to install? and where's the best (cheapest) place to buy one? thanks
