    Filter vehicle reference

    A friend of mine is getting rid of his stash. He's got filters for a 4-cyl 2009 Camry and a 4-cyl 2005 Accord. I don't have either of these cars and I don't know anyone personally with them (short of walking up to the many owners of these two common vehichles a parking lot!) Is there some...

    Keep it or junk it?

    So I have an old '88 Caprice and I need advice about fixing or junking it. Backstory: I have 4 cars, my daily is a 2013 Chevy Volt with 100K on it. I also have this '88 Caprice which is a tad sentimental because it was a hand-me-down from my grandmother. The other 2 are collector cars that...

    '88 Caprice: valve stem seals

    My '88 Caprice (305) burns oil (a quart every 1000 miles), particularly on startup I get that puff of blue smoke meaning valve stem seals. Short of fixing the seals, which could get into a bit of money, (not something I want to take on myself) what would you do? Currently I'm still using up...

    Bad Experience with Clay Bar

    I'm kind of a klutz, so I'm not really great at detailing, so I'm looking for opinions with that in mind. I've tried the clay bar, and I don't really understand the hype, but I did it anyway because everyone raves about them. I've done it on 4 separate occasions over the last 2 years on 2...

    post-wax water spots

    Hello, I did the 3-step Meguiar's and headed to the Carlisle show last weekend. Had a great time but then the skies opened up later in the day. Water beaded up real nice. Sitting in traffic trying to get out and the beads dried up and left water spots. As you might imagine, with no show...

    Identity Theft Advice

    So back in 2005, I had this guy help me with my 2004 taxes. I'd met him a few times, and it seemed legit, but I was also 25 at the time so I was a little naive. so here I am 6 years later, and I just found out (when trying to apply for credit) that a credit card had been issued in my name back...

    Volkswagen lights?

    Anyone ever notice Volkswagens often have lamps out, like more than other cars? It just seems to me that I'm always seeing them. It's not necessarily headlights either, it could be a headlight, taillight, or parking light. What's strange about VWs?

    What oil to use in Mercury Cyclone? 429CJ

    There are so many opinions and factors involved, it's hard to figure out which oil to use in this car. I prefer to use synthetic, so I came to the conclusion that M1 15W-50 was best. I have read that these old big blocks have a lot of clearance and 15W-50 has elevated ZDDP levels. I tried it...
