My mechanic uses Total Quartz 9000 5W40 in all of the cars he services (he only works on European cars). My Mini burned a little oil so I stopped by to pick up a quart as he is the only local shop I know of that sells it. The bottle he sold me looks exactly like this one...

I would really like to order the 32oz Fuel Power to see how well it works but the shipping and cost of the product makes it a liitle prohibative if it turns out to be more snake oil. Does anyone have a coupon? I know it has a money back guarantee but it's $7 to ship it to me and $7 to ship it...

Is there a general rule that on an auto transmission the rear-most fluid line is the return line (from the radiator) and the front-most is the supply line (to the radiator)? I'm going to install a tranny cooler and am just trying to make sure. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if there are other oils that are sold in exclusive formulations at one outlet that are branded that same as oils sold at the majority of stores? Could there be WalMart Mobil1 that is totaly different than auto part stores M1? I'm just curious and can't figure out why AZ has the...

I just changed the tranny fluid in my 04 Tacoma PreRunner and I can't get a consistent reading on the dipstick. When the engine in running and the tranny is in park the level is perfect, but when the engine has sat over night the level is way over the "cold fluid level" mark. If anyone knows...

So I changed my oil today from 5w30 Durablend to GC and what a difference. My engine use to make a not-so-nice noise right around 2,500 R.P.M's but not anymore, plus it seems to run smoother. I like this stuff, so I bought 13 more quarts of M0409...

So I was at AZ this weekend and they had a million quarts of GC on the shelves but only 6 were the green stuff, so I rescued them from their gold brothers (good for nothing goldies, they're not even really oil you know). Anyway, I have batch #'s M0304... and M042376... Does anyone know anything...

I have an 04 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner that came with these rims only not painted black. I was told these are a 16x7 inch wheel. I just ordered a set of these rims which I am told are 16x8 inch. Will the tires that came off my 16x7 inch wheels fit on the new 16x8 inch wheels? I'm sorry if...

Has anyone ordered or installed a Tacoma grill from grille4u.com? I'm just curious as to how hard the grill is to install, if I have to cut anything to install it, and if the company is reputible. Thanks in advance.

Since oil expands as it temp. increases should you check your engine oil level when the oil is hot or cold? When my engine is cold the oil is at the full mark on the dipstick but when it's hot the oil is about 1/8 inch over the fill makr. I'm just curious, thanks for the info.

I just purchased 6 quarts of Toyota type T-IV transmission fluid and it came it the same type of bottle than the old Mobil Drive Clean came in. Could it be that Toyota is just rebottling Mobil 3309? Anyone know anything about this?

I'm 22 years old and have only owned cars with sealed wheel bearings. I was looking at my 04 Tacoma's service manual and it suggests to repack the wheel bearings at 30,000 miles. I have never repacked a wheel bearing and am not even sure if this truck has servicable wheel bearings (it's my 1st...

I just checked the top tier gas site and shell has been added to the list. Just informing everyone.

Anyone see a problem with running Druablend GF-4 5W30 4,000 miles in an 04 Tacoma V6? I'm going on a long vacation and I'm figuring about 4,000 miles will be on this oil by the time I get back. Thanks in advance.

I have an 04 Tacoma V6 with 5,000 miles on it. After I come to a stop using more than light force on the brake pedal the transmission shifts very hard when I let off of the brake. I think it has something to do with the electronic transmission. Is this common to other Tacomas or is it just my truck?

I've planned a trip over winter break to visit my Mecca (Lynchburg TN). Has anyone ever been there and taken the distillery tour? Is it as much fun as I'm hoping it will be?

I know I read something about the Energy Conserving II rating and I know it use to be on the back of some GF-2 oils, what happened to it?

I'm very ignorant when it comes to diesels, please keep this in mind. My question is, why aren't diesel engines 2 strokes? It seems that diesel fuel is more like an oil than a solvent and I've always heard 2 strokes are more efficient than 4 strokes. I'm just curious.

Just a question...If Super Tech filters are made by Champion why do they have the same part numbers as Fram? I thought that maybe part numbers were universal but Purolator doesn't use the same part numbers for equivalent filters. I'm just curious.

My 04 Tacoma started to lurch forward when I was stopped and the A/C kicked on. I took it to the dealership and they told me it was because of the vacuum assist brakes and them losing vacuum when the A/C kicked on. They basically told me to live with it like this. Is there anything I can do to...
