Menards is running a decent price on this at 8.99 a bottle. I know there's a lot of fans out there and it might save you a few bucks...

Hello all, My work vehicle is a 2009 Civic EX-L. The car has been amazing but I do all my own maintenance which has been very little on this car. One thing I have overlooked is my serpentine belt and tensioner. The car has 204,000 miles currently. The belt looks great, there are no odd noises...

I was thinking of buying a 6 pack of Fram XG 10575 filters on Ebay. How long do you feel you can safely store a oil filter on the shelf before you would begin to worry about the age effecting the internal components. Maybe it's best to just buy 1 or 2 at a time?

Getting ready for spring. I will soon be changing the oil in my 2013 Harley Roadglide. Thinking of trying some 20W-50 Castrol Power RS V-twin 4T synthetic oil. Anybody running this? Any info on this would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!!!

Ready to spray the underside of my wifes Wrangler Rubicon before winter. Always used the Amsoil HDMP in the past. Lately I have heard some good things about Fluid Film and thought I'd ask what you guys think according to your past experience. Help me decide!!!!!!!

Time to change the transmission fluid in my Simplicity tractor Hydro. Tuff torque says it comes with 10w-30 oil and to replace it with 5w-50 full synthetic at change. Currently running Castrol 5w-50 and its time to change again. Uses about 5 qts. Any recommendations on oil? Should I stick with...

My wife has a job which requires that her vehicle, Honda civic or Toyota rav4, sit outside for up to 8-10 days. Not bad in the summer but not so good in the Minnesota winters. I would like to get a portable jump starter just in case needed. Anyone have experience with these? Many different...

Son just purchased a new 2011 Harley Nightster. Could some of you enlighten me on when I should make the first fluid changes and what fluid and filters you would recommend. Thanks. I am a heritage springer rider and am a little new to the sportster nightster bikes.

Wife wants a mini cooper. Probably not new but 1 or 2 yr old low mileage vehicle. Does anyone out there have any recommendations on this vehicle from personal experience? Please don't hammer me on this or recommend other vehicles because what wifey wants wifey usually gets. Any useful info would...

Dan Wheldon dead after a terrible IRL crash at Las Vegas. 2 time Indy Champ. Great person. RIP

Just changed oil in my 2006 Acura RSX. Mobil 1 0w-20 with a Purolator Pure 1 filter. Car has 60,000 miles on it. I do mostly highway driving of about 60 miles per day. I have been changing oil every 7500 miles using various synthetics with purolator classics. All previous oils were 5w-20. What...

Nice to see Paul Menard get his first cup win today. Seems to be a genuinely nice guy who has paid his dues but usually in inferior race cars. Not my favorite track but still a nice win.

Changed oil on my Rav4 and Rsx. Both synthetic. One 5w-30. One 5w-20. This may be weird but both seem to get better mileage right after an oil change. Same oil as always but better mileage. Do you think this is possible or just my imagination. I do keep good track of usage. What do you guys think?

I have got a new Yale electric chain hoist with oil bath. Anybody have some knowledge of the type of oil for this application.

Driving 6 hours to help a sister out with worn rear brakes on her 2002 suburban 4wd z-71. I bought rotors and pads. Looking for someone who may have done this job that would know of any special tools or just good advice to make sure I have everything I need to do the job. I have done several...

Needing new tires on my wifes 2008 Rav4. Calls for 225/65r17 load rating 101 and speed rated at H. Is the speed rating that important on this vehicle? It seems to limit the brand of tire and Michelin does not even make a tire in this size and speed rating. The vehicle came with Yokahamas but I...

Getting geared up for clutch replacement on my 2001 civic Ex with 240,000 miles. I would like to do this myself. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Should the flywheel be turned or replaced? Anything else that should be done while I'm in there? I have a shop manual to follow but this will be...

Looking for some insight on Toyota rear ends. I have a 2003 tacoma 4wd with a rear locking differential. Does anybody have any recommendations on fluid and whether or not an additive is needed. A GL-5 80-90 is stated in the manual but no mention of an additive. Is the added cost of synthetic...

I am new to this forum and not nearly as knowledgable as most on oil. I am thinking of spring and getting my Simplicity Prestige ready for the mowing season. The tractor has about 200 hours and I have used various Synthetic 10w-30 and a purolator filter since new. I change oil and filter at 25...
