    06 Kia Optima has some DIIIIIIIRRRTTYY Oil

    dirty oil is typical of hyundai engines. i dunno if that's the mitsu sourced or hyundai developed (i'm guessing the latter), but either way they run rich. for your dirty a/c, the condensate drain is clogged and you could clear it out with a coat hanger and spray the vents (fresh air intake and...

    what is your price limit? there are a few really nice kits out there that are $550+ and come with new projectors, HID kit, and wiring. i have no idea if you want to spend that much though.

    Major Cadillac dealership rip off attempt

    Phillips D2H or D2R HID bulb. Most cars with HID's use one or the other. $116 is a great price for one. Supposed to be lifetime, but stuff happens (like water in the housing).

    gary, how many miles did you have on the orig. engine before you replaced it? i had a 94 3L caravan that lived it's whole life on 10w30 havoline (140k) and ran great up until someone stole it. never had a problem with it (well other than paint and a/c). even ran the tranny dry for a couple of...

    Anyone else notice Castrol GTX price increase?

    store policy. they'll give it to you for free under $3, or $3 off if over $3. customer service desk has it all over the place. i'd remove the tag from the shelf and show it to the cashier (even though they hate that), b/c you'll either have to go to the CS desk and wait for someone to go the...

    Mazda 6 vs. Honda Accord

    gas mileage. honda seems too concerned with it and not enough with performance. of course their v6 engines aren't the most fuel efficient. i own two honda products, but will most likely never buy another one. it's fine when the cars are reliable, but if something goes wrong, don't expect them...

    3M™ Intake System Cleaner (Aerosol)

    i've used the 3 step system in my honda's and it works well. if the car is running smoothly already, you won't notice a difference, but you notice a bit of visual improvement if you take the top end apart. in my case there was some light/medium deposits on the valves and on the tops of the...

    HIDs installed.

    you're lucky that your car has the option for projector hid's. i've got diffused hid's on my 00' TL and they are TERRIBLE. i dunno what acura/honda was thinking. no more light than incandescent bulbs, but they are whiter.
