Hondas don't need new filters. Put them back in and run it.

I use the $3 chinese CF and they work great. Takes 2-3 weeks to arrive, so plan ahead a little.

No additive will keep ethanol from clogging up a small engine. Just buy ethanol-free gas and use that exclusively. It pays for itself.

Walmart dot com beats everybody on price and selection. They have free ship-to-store and the install is pretty cheap too.

I'm in my mid-40s and I've only bought 1 car at a dealership. Hated it. I won't do it again.

Mercury Cougar XR7 & STP

Can you post pics of the oil filter?

Speed limits around me are 70, 75, and 80, but I've owned my Valentine One since 1993. It's paid for itself many, many times over. Best thing about the V1 is it shows the direction of the radar source. (In front or behind you.) My main use for it is avoiding speed trap tickets: driving 40 in a...

I cut my Dish about a year ago ($100/mo) I now have Roku w/ Hulu + Netflix ($24/mo). Saves $900 per year. I got an outdoor antenna from Walmart dot com for $35, it really reaches out there. I get about 40-50 channels free over the air. I ported my telephone number over from Verizon to my...

I used original ARX way back and I liked it. Yesterday I put 2 bottles of ARX Plus in my 95 F150. I noticed the product is much more fluid now than it was before. I'm not sure what all has changed in the formula. I don't put many miles on this truck, so it will take a while to report results.

Interesting article. http://www.edmunds.com/car-care/stop-cha...858&msite=w My 2012 Hyundai recommends 7500 mi OCI, but I change it at 5k just to be safe. I've started going to 5k on my older vehicles too. (But I can't imagine going 20,000 mi on the same fill in a Porsche.) It looks like big...

What brand is it?

I did a treatment like this a few years ago with Seafoam. I'm not sure what it cleans up but it sure helped my old clunkers. I've ran quite a bit of FP3000 through both of these trucks, so I was surprised at the difference this cleaning made. Anyway, if what you drive has a few miles on it and...

Last week I was desperate for an oil change and I couldn't do it myself, so I had it done while I was at WM. The guy who took down my info talked me into getting the fuel injector service while I was there. Since it was only $20, I agreed. My truck (95 F150) runs much better after the...

I bought my 2012 Elantra mainly for the 40mpg on the highway. I almost always got 40 on the highway and using a few hypermiler techniques, I could get the reading to 50mpg. All of that changed when I had to change out my OEM tires. I was sitting still at a red light when one of my Continental...

For some reason, I thought new cats were about $2000. Looks like they can be had online for under $200. There's a muffler shop near me that I can get to replace it. Should be no big deal.

Hey Bama, Sounds heat related. Get yourself a tranny cooler. They're under $50 and you can slap one in in just a few minutes if you are good with your hands. I bought a 10,000lb stacked plate cooler from bulkpart dot com a few years ago and I haven't looked back. I just cut the factory tubes...

I almost always use Valero gas which is known for refining the high sulfur oil that others won't touch. Sour gas? Sour oil? I'll try a couple of tanks of Shell or Exxon to see if that helps any. I was hoping to get a few more miles out of this truck, I'm not sure I want the expense of...

Lately I've been getting a rotten eggs smell from my exhaust on a 92 Toyota Pickup with 220k miles 3VZE. All emissions and exhaust stuff is original. I run Mobil 1 10-40 or 10-30 and I use FP3000 about every fill up. I do not get a CEL, so should I try replacing the O2 sensors first? What are...

I just had my front driver-side brake lock up 50 miles or so down the road. I made to a repair shop and had it replaced. I had never heard of a problem with Ford brakes, but now since this happened a few have told me this is not uncommon on Fords. How often should brake lines and calipers be...
