    Window washer fluids

    Wow! Didn't realize the topic would be sort of popular..lol. I did empty the tank then filled it up and noticed the lines run along the base of the windshield and i think i can re-run the lines away from there so they are not right near the glass area,that might help a bit more,maybe not but...

    Window washer fluids

    It happens every winter time,those stupid wiper arm hoses lock up and i'm sooo sick of it. With my past older cars and squirters on the hoods they never froze up,you just cleared off the snow from the hood and those small black squirters. Engineers suck in the automotive world. Yah,they claim to...

    RWD v. FWD for snow use

    A BIG part of the problem is vehicle weight.Many vehicles(mainly cars)are made to lightweight and ride on top of the snow and can't really "dig in" and grab.All season tires are not true all seasons,mainly 3 and not winter for traction due to poor tread design.The more aggressive the tread the...

    Window washer fluids

    Good choices for window washer fluid additives? I get tired of the fluid freezing up in the "wiper hoses" which are attached to the wiper arms(no squirters on the hood),sometimes i can squeeze the tubing on the wipers to break it up and get the liquid flowing again. The tank never freezes,INSIDE...

    Micron ratings anywhere?

    Okay,i never see how well an oil filter cleans like by a micron rating. You would think there would be a micron rating on the packages to compare or...do they not want that listed? I would believe that most,if not all of us would want the highest micron rating. I never seem to see a rating on...

    Now i'm lost on filters

    WOW ! ALOT of various oil filters all over the site. I've been using fram but now after reading many comments it's not that great of a filter. Pleats,cardboard etc. What do the "better" filter use to filter the oil if not cardboard? Thinking about wix,pureones,bosch but...man....all the talk...

    Lucas oil Additive

    I'll just stay with regular oil,no additives. ty Fram is a cardboard filter(?) and...not that good? Holy oil leaks batman i've used that filter for years! I do want a top quality filter,cost is not that much of a factor to save an engine but let's not get crazy like $10 bucks for a filter.

    Lucas oil Additive

    Seeing the Lucas oil additive in auto stores on the display that shows as you turn the gears,the oil clings to them,does it really hold onto the surfaces better for start up or ? Is it really good for added protection like the rest of the "additives" are? Additives better for higher miles or any...

    sluggish internet connection wi-fi. pt1.

    It shows ( just checked) WPA2 and AES. I did think about using an ethernet cable but the cost would be nuts to go about 85 feet or more so i could just go straight from the main netgear box to my pooter in the house end room and see how it acts then.It is very rare that both pooters would be in...

I have not tried the house pooter lately but will soon to see how it acts.I had to do a 2 pt. posting since it wouldn't let me have more room for more words! Like i said...right now it's...

MY wi-fi was fine for quite some time and very fast with the comcast cable...

    What produces the ULTIMATE Shine

    Okay..what about a buffer? Rpm's? Cloth on them good or not? Menards,Autozone stores or ?? Are they decent enough or a waste of time to use? Good to use on spray shine products for any added shine or why bother. I'd like a buffer but don't want some slow rpm model.
