    Cracked Gas Tank

    I have an old lawn boy push mower and today a crack developed in the gas tank and I want to know what my options are. Is there anything that will permanently seal the crack or do I have to try to find a replacement for it, which I'm not even sure is possible since it's about 13 years old. As far...

    I have old Shindaiwa F-18 trimmer and have finally run out of the oil that came with it. My question is, do you think it would be okay to use Lawn Boy 2 cycle oil in my 2 cycle Shindaiwa? mixture rations are similar, 32:1 is what I use for my lawn boy and the manual for the shindaiwa recommends...

    The Elves have forsaken me!

    All the AZ around me just have the NA yellow label stuff, but here's my question, can they get GC in for me or would they just point and laugh if I asked? I thought I'd ask here first to see if anyone had tried to get some from a store that didn't have it successfully, or unsuccessfully. They...

    Honda

    I'm looking to replace the air and in-cabin filters for my 04 accord and was going to stick with OEM as that is what I did for my altima, only problem is I got my Altima filters from IRONTOAD.COM, but they don't have honda stuff. The dealerships in my area are not an option really, at least for...

    Has anyone ever tried it before? A friend of mine says a lot of people use it down at a Lake he lives by on their Boats and cars and it last and does a good job. I'd attach a link but I couldn't find their official site. DR

    Zaino Question

    I was going to order ZFX, Z2, and Z5 from Zaino, but I have a question. How important is it to have the Z6? I don't think I've really ever used detailing sprays, unless that is what comes with clay bars because I've used those when claybaring. Just wanted to know what everyone thinks. DR

    Torque Wrench

    I'm planning on buying a torque wrench here in a few days and wanted some opinions. Are the any brands that are better than others, Craftsman, sanp-on, etc.? And what about beam versus clicker, advantages/disadvantages to either of them?

    New tires for an 04 altima

    I'm going to be needing new tires before I know it, so wanted some opinions. I think the stock wheels on my altima limit my choices a lot, it's the 3.5 SE if anyone's curious. Anyway, as many miles as I drive, good treadwear is a must, so is wet/snow traction. Any help at all would be appreciated.

    I have a car that "needs" premium fuel and I would like to find 93 octane, but it's next to immpossible in my area. Is there a reason why 93 octane really isn't availiable in the Kansas City MO. area? After reading post in this forum, it looks like for premium, 93 octane is the only way to go...

    when to change...

    I have an 04 altima with the 4 speed auto trans. The manual isn't entirely specific on when I need to replace the transmission fluid for normal and severe service. Now for the premium, leave a mint on your dash service, they have it at the 30,000 miles service. What do you all think? I don't...

    Accord OCI

    My mom recently got an accord V6 and I'm in charge of changing the oil and such. The owners manual says "severe" service is 3750 miles or 6 months. She makes short trips to work and doesn't get that many miles on it during a 6 month period. I put M1 0w-20 and a M1 oil filter on a few months...

    Winter and oil

    As a rule, is winter or summer harder on oil? I've had GC in my car for about 5500 miles, and my MPG has dropped a bit but it has been a lot colder here recently, didn't know if the two were related or if I should worry.

    Another GC Question

    There was a topic posted a few weeks ago about regular American 0W-30 being the same as GC now. Was anyone ever able to verify this? I looked, but I didn't find any that met the certifications of GC, probably old stuff though. I hate to post a topic just for this, but I can't take the suspense!

    Different Oil Viscosities

    I may be way off, but it seems from the posts I've read and what I know that American and Japanese cars are taking thinner oils while European cars are staying with the thicker oils. Why is that?
