Although this is an Oil Website, I think that some people downplay the importance of engine air Filtration in keeping an engine clean... Who makes the Air Filter with the best particle Filtration? Would it be the Fram Ultra Air Filter? (Only sold at Walmart) or is it another brand I am missing?

After a coolant flush, I was idling the car unattended for 5? or do hours with the heat on full blast to try and cycle things through the heater core. That coolant flush got the heater and car red hot with the windows up. Had a few quarts of unopened redline gear oil in the passengers seat I...

Who has experience with them? I've got a defective dash. (04 Solara, recall long expired) These dashes suck, but no way I'm spending $1500? for s new Toyota dash. Interior is otherwise about an 8/10, but cars overall value doesn't warrant a new dash. Nor am I sourcing a used dash because...

I'm currently Flushing out a 2004 Solara 2.4. 48,000 miles and I believe original coolant. Had white corrosion around original radiator cap. (replaced) Ran 100% distilled for a day, now running 100% distilled + Prestone radiator flush for (about) 6 hours. Going to drain, refill with 100%...

Yeah, you read that correctly. Vehicle is a 2004 Solara 2.4 with oil change records every 3,000 miles since new It's had conventional oil it's whole life. The car runs like new. Has no leaks. I know that Redline is absolutely not necessary. But I am an oil nerd and would be geeked out about...

Hey Guys, Recently came across a 2004 Camry Solara 2.4 manual, with 47,000 miles. Car was a 1 owner before I bought it, with conventional oil change receipts every 3-4,000 miles. What oil do you recommend? I'd like to switch over to synthetic and am used to Mobil 1. Car should be driven about...

Of course any car will last longer the better it's been maintained, however... I'd like some opinions on the C4 Corvette. These cars are very polarizing, in that people tend to either love them or hate them. I'm currently considering a low mileage well cared for '90 six speed

About 3 weeks ago, I was doing an ATF drain and refill on an '01 Avalon. While, I was *slowly filling the transmission dipstick tube with a 4 qt container of ATF, I managed to drizzle ATF in an area around the radiator fan and the radiator. I tried to clean it up asap but unfortunately it got...

Yes, this guy went off the rails later in life. But look at the raw talent displayed here. The power of a heavyweight with middleweight speed. He was Champ, but he could have held the title much longer. Tyson Training

So, I found a car I have always wanted, an Rx-7 gsl-se. Really low miles for an 85 (68,000) and good shape. But its had multiple owners and has its share of door dings. Some deep, others barely there. This is a major pet peeve of mine. What is the best way to get back to a laser straight...

I have an interesting engine and am seeking an oil recommendation. Its a 13b Rotary Engine, stock in a 1985 Mazda Rx-7 gsl-se I recently acquired. It has 68,000 original miles and is (to my knowledge) used to a steady diet of conventional 10w-30. The car runs great, doesn't smoke and has no...

I wonder if this is a good idea. I have a 2001 avalon with 260,000 miles and 2003 corolla with 175,00 miles. The fluids are regularly changed in both, but I think both have original thermostats

I'm not sure if this is true, but I've read other places that cheaper tire shine actually degrades and yellows tires. What brands do not do this? Which brands are bad for tires? Any chemical ingredients to watch out for? (I have armor all tire foam around the house, a cheaper brand)

Who has bought a salvage or rebuilt titled car and been satisfied? Generally, if the damage is fixed right, what percentage of a clear title price should they command? 65%? I wouldnt normally consider one, but I found a rather rare car I'd like to own. It is an 80s Mazda Rx7. Supposidly, there...

We will define 'best' as in 1. Best driving dynamics: ex. handling, fun factor and power to weight. And in 2. Durability and Reliabilty Basic Criteria: must be able to be had with a manual transmision, must be a 2 seater or 2+2, and in this case, must be hardtop (yes i know that excludes the...

I'd like some opinions on the car I just bought. It's a 1998 Mercedes C280 sedan. The car is a 1 owner with 83,000 original miles. This is a first for me, as I purchased the vehicle from a (very reputable) ebay dealer who specializes in 1 owner lower mileage cars. It has a clean car fax, is...

I have a 2003 Toyota Corolla with about 150,000 miles. The car has been well maintained and runs great. However, I recently had a check engine light diagnosed at the dealership at which time they advised that the catalytic converter was failing. I wanted to get this issue resolved, but not to...

I'm sensing I may be getting myself in trouble with an old Corvette for sale I'm considering. It is equipped with the "Doug Nash" 4+3 manual gearbox. Im trying to learn about it, and it seems to be an odd duck to say the least. This manual was offered by GM in Vettes from 1984-1988. It used the...
