My Vibe just turned 144k miles, so I thought I'd change the trans filter. The pan has a drain plug, so I've been doing drain and fills every 20k miles or so. Using a combo of T-IV and Amsoil ATF. The filter is just a fine wire mesh, and it did have a few specs in it. The pan has 2 magnets...

Our '01 Honda Civic trans went out today. It's got 215k miles on it, 90% being highway. I drained and filled every 20-30k miles, using Z1 and Amsoil. But I didn't start until 90k miles when I started doing the maintenance on it. It started slipping between shifts. So as a last resort I did one...

Looks easy to install. Anyone use one? ATP fluid filter

I noticed one of my camshaft seals are leaking. There's a cap over it, and it looks like if I remove that, the seal may just pop off. Any tips? I hope the cam doesn't have to move up to get it out.

'01 Civic. 210k miles. Tried to start the car; the dash and interior lights come on, but when I turn the key, there's a "click" and everything shuts off. The battery was about 3.5 years old, so I just figured the battery was dead. Installed a new battery, and it does the same thing. After...

On my 2001 Honda Civic, 205k miles, I've noticed that there is oil coming from my valve cover to intake breather hose. I checked the original PCV, it apeared to be working ok, so I cleaned it and re-installed it. Is this the reason some ad oil catch cans? My gas milage has been going down...

Purchased an A/C delco air filter the other day for my '05 Pontiac Vibe. When I pulled it out, it stated Denso on one side, and Toyota on the other, and look exactly like the factory filter. So what's the deal, does A/C delco buy parts from other manufacturers and put them in their box? Or does...

Anyone know if I can just replace the clutch on my a/c compressor? Actually, it's not the whole assembly, just the end. What looks to of happned, is the nut holding the end on, just backed off, and the end fell off. The stud from the compressor is fine, it spins just fine, and actually the nut...

I have a drop in K&N filter on my Honda Civic, and part of the gasket has ripped. It has about 100k miles on it, and it's about 6 years old. I sent K&N an email on Friday, so I'm waiting for a response. Anyone ever take them up on their warranty claim? If so, what was the experience like?

Anyone ever repair some stipped spark plug threads in a cylinder head? On the vehicle? What'd you use? Mine just came out, it's on an '01 Civic, and the plug is way down in there.

Search didn't work. Anyone hear anything about this stuff? I see it in my car mags. Might be a good ZDDP additive if it's got it. http://www.px3lubricants.com/

I put these pads on a car a few years back, and they told me they had a lifetime warrenty. Pads are about gone now. So does that Warrenty include normal wear? Anyone try getting a new set?

Just curious. Anyone know when Slick 50 first went on the market? I have an old, unopened metal can of it. The old cylider style can that needs to be punched open. I had no idea Slick 50 was around when oil was packaged like that.

Someone posted this on anther site. How accurate is this? "Oil filters don't really matter. They have a bypass that opens at around 15psi oil pressure letting 80% of the oil flow right by without even getting filtered. The oil runs across the filter, not through it. You just hope that the...

Looking for a website that states AC Delco filter specs. Size, anti-drain back valve, thread size, gasket etc. I don't see it on the AC Delco web site.

I aquired some Penzoil "20w 20" over the weekend. I've never seen this stuff before. It was at a household hazardous waste collection, so I have no idea how old it is. Is it basically a straight 20 weight oil? What application would this of been for? Probably not good for a car that needs 5w20?

Hello, I have an '01 Honda Civic with 140k miles on it. When new I used Penzoil 5w20, but at around 90k miles, I switch to 5w30, usually Havoline, out of convieniece and it was cheaper. Was at WalMart the other day, and I notice the Motorcraft 5w20 semi synthetic was like $9.50 for a 5 quart...

It's a '85 S-10 2.5 4 speed. I've only owned the truck for about a year. I was told the tranny was recently rebuilt. When it's running and I try to put it into reverse, it grinds pretty bad, depending on how high it's idling. It wasn't this bad when I first bought the truck. Can I assume it's...

Over the weekend I worked at a houshold hazardous waste collection. People bring all kinds of chemicals, including used oil. For some reason people bring un-used oil, so I keep that for my own use. One oil that was brought in was sorta interesting to me. It's was in an oil can, not a plastic...
