I replaced the front struts and sway bar links on my 2010 Rav4 recently and have been having an intermittent front end vibration at 35-40 MPH with a steady throttle since then. If i speed up or slow slightly it will stop. I ran up to Autozone and bought some cheap links after I had to cut off...

My HRR216VLA rear drive self propelled mower won't self propel. The rear wheels will turn if they are off the ground, but they won't move the mower when they are on the ground. I replaced the rear wheels this spring because they were getting worn down. I figured the belt was probably slipping...

Why are there two different size brake shoes listed for an 04 Honda Civic? Advance lists 1.38 x 7.37 and 1.4 x 8.66 with no explanation to determine which size is right. The pictures show four shoes for each size, so I assume the driver and passenger sides aren't different sizes.

They changed the base oil section on the MSDS as of 01/25/16 to "Base oil-highly refined." I thought it was listed as PAO the last time I looked, although it has been much cheaper than competitor's Group V products. Does anyone for sure if this change indicates a Group III base oil? Castrol...

Does anyone know for sure if a Poulan Pro 2150 will fit in the Craftsman saw cases? I know Poulan makes Craftsman saws, but no one selling the cases will say for sure it will fit. Thanks

Why won't Toyota allow a 10K OCI with 0w20 on a 2010 Rav4 with the 2AR-FE 4 cyl, when they do on the same motor in a Camry? Totota Spec

We've seen many UOA's showing some popular oils such as M1 15W50 and Rotella T6 shear very quickly, but don't show elevated wear metal levels in short (3K or less) OCI's. It is also easy to find accounts of these oils being used for over 100K miles with no issues. Are shearing concerns...

I picked up some closeout PU to try in my Chevy 5.3 and my wife's NA Subaru 2.5, both of which are out of warranty. Since it seems I won't be able to find PU easily for much longer, I thought about going to PP if I stay with synthetic after its gone instead of going back to MS5K. But a post in...

The only claimed difference I can find between motorcycle specific oil and HDEO is the motorcycle oil contains rust inhibitors and anti-foaming agents. I thought oil itself was a rust inhibitor. Is there any real value to these additives?

I'm considering going to a 10k oci on the wife's 01 NA 4 cyl Outback. None of the usual long oci suspects, such as the Fram Ultra and Mobil 1 have the proper bypass setting and Bosch doesn't even offer a D Plus 3311. The best quality filters I know of with the 23 psi bypass are the Bosch...

How do you find out if a vehicle has been back spec'ed for a different grade oil? I checked the manufacturer's websites but didn't find anything.

I have a 2006 Chevy P/U with the 4.3 V6 that I only drive 2k to 3k miles per year. Most of the miles are during hunting season, between November and January. Except for the winter months the truck makes occasional short trips around town or might sit for several weeks until I take it out for an...
