    8K mile LS7 oil pan plug pics

    I just got this 07 Z06 with 7800 miles that is all original. I had a hell of a time attempting to remove the filter and the two drain plugs (used a breaker bar) so an idiot worked on it for sure. Aside from that inconvenience, the anti sieze like goop I found on one plug (they’re both magnetic)...

    MK7.5 GTi- Oil and Injector cleaner

    Back in the day, my go-to Injector cleaner was Redline and everyone raved on about it. I have never owned a DI vehicle and am wondering- is this still the best/some of the best injector cleaner products out there despite the fact that it is DI- or does that simply not matter at all (DI vs port)...

    MC Syn vs Castrol Edge or Ultra

    Hi fellas- I've got a new st fiesta that's direct injected and turbocharged. I did my first change on the weekend and I went with the motorcraft synthetic 5w20. Since this oil is only purchased from a dealer, it won't be going on sale (if it does it's not like I'll see it in the flyer) so I...

    MotorCraft Synthetic- a real synthetic?

    Is the MC 5W20 oil a synthetic oil or like many other off the shelf "synthetic" labeled out, is it just marketing? This will be going in my Fiesta ST which still has the factory fill that I'm thinking of ditching (car has 1200 miles)

    Filter for Fiesta ST

    What are the larger filters for these cars? I read a post that says the purolator L20195 is a good candidate as it is an upgraded version of the MC FL400

    Brand new Focus ST...

    Hey Fellas, What would be a good oil choice for this direct injected turbocharged Focus that will be a daily driver in all weather conditions? Car will be picked up from the dealer on Monday. Should I leave the FF for a 1000-2000km's than fill it with mineral oil and then go on the synthetic...

    What's the story with AC Delco filters?

    I read a thread from 2011 that they cheaped out huge and are using cardboard end caps- is this true? Always used WIX in my LS1 but as i work for a dealership down the road from a GM store, I can grab one of theirs at cost.

I want a simple, no [censored] mower that is not self propelled I wanted something powered by a Honda. Lawn Boy has a unit powered by Honda and of course a Honda itself (bagged model) BUT...

    Hey fellas- I have a fairly low mileage LS1 car that I've placed in storage and it will come out in a month or so for its oil change, a couple drives than back under the cover for a year. I've used GC on that engine with great results- no oil consumption, great oil PSI, etc. Would there be...

    Brake fluid for 1990 Mustang

    Pretty sure that the brake fluid is original so its definitely time for a change. The car is all original and it spends the winters sitting around. No track time, no road courses, etc etc. I'm wondering what would be a good fluid I can put in there and be safe for a long time. Replacing the...

    Type F for PS fluid- Equivalent?

    My 1990 Mustang calls for type F ATF for the power steering fluid. The only option I have for this type of fluid locally is the Parts Source in house brand called "Certified". I don't know if there is anything wrong with this brand, or who makes it but if there is an equivalent that is...

    Fox Mustang Heater Core Issues-Stop-leak work?

    As some of you may know, the Fox Mustang (79-93) is notorious for broken heater cores. The job of replacing them is very tedious. Dash, seats and center console have to be removed. Before attempting to tackle the job, would it be worth it to try some sort of a stop-leak like product?

    Good octane booster in Canada?

    Any recommendations? I've got some old fuel, I recently syphoned out 3/4's of it and now want to add some fresh gas along with some octane booster just to be sure. Stablizer will go in as well, as the car doesn't get much use.

    Any recommendations on new oil for my LS1?

    I've been using German Castrol for the past few years in my LS1 with good luck. No burning, nothing. Sure, I get piston slap upon start up but that's GM for ya. Car is only driven in the summer months and that's it. Lately I've been thinking IF I should go with something that is 5W? What else...

    Hey guys, Just bought a new-to me 1990 mustang 5L 302 v8. The car has 75k miles and I don't know of its previous oil change cycles. What I do know is this: The sticker on the windshield indicated a 10w30 bulk valvoline oil used previously. Car is a summer car and nothing else. I know all...
