    Purolator One cartridge filter, 4,554 miles

    With nearly all of our driving being short trips, stop & go driving, I have started going by the OLM on both vehicles. Decided to do an oil change on both of them Friday night, since my truck was down to 16% and it was easier to just do them both at the same time. The filter I want to talk...

    Oil recommendations for 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    I'm new to Jeeps, just bought my first one. 1999 Grand Cherokee with the 4.0 inline 6 with 112k. I have no idea what oil is in it currently. I found out my stash of filters I bought for the 02 caravan will also fit the Jeep so I'll be using PureOne filters. I bought some PYB to run for the first...

    What to use on squeaky garage door hinges?

    What do you guys recommend to lube garage door hinges? I'm thinking maybe white lithium grease in a spray can? Obviously I want something that's not going to drip on the car (or the garage floor)

    Rant about my local AAP

    So I ordered some parts online from AAP, one of which was a cabin air filter for the 07 T&C. Their website lists the same part# for both of my vans. Turns out the T&C does not have a CAF, so I go to my local AAP to return it. (already have a new one in the other van)I paid (after online...

    Oil recommendations for classic car?

    Looking for some recommendations for my dad's '64 Corvair, he thinks it has around 60k on it. I believe it is 164 CID and likely has flat tappets. He only drives it maybe 1000 miles a year (stored during winter) with once a year OCI. Currently he is using Amsoil 10w30, because that is what the...

    Sounds like a good deal, is this stuff any good?

    Aco hardware has service pro syn blend oil for $2.49 a qt. I've never used it before, is it any good? I usually just buy the 5qt jugs of maxlife at walmart but was thinking of trying some service pro. Anybody here use it and like it or dislike it?

    FFV / AFV motor oil?

    My 2002 caravan owners manual states to use either mopar oil or equivalent to MS-9214 if you are going to run E85. I've had the van several months and have been contemplating trying E85. Couldnt find any oils that had FFV, AFV or anything else on the label pertaining to E85. I did a little...
