Folks and fellas, I cannot find the Relief valve pressure on the Bosch D3334 oil filter ANYwhere. My car (2017 Volt) requires a Ac-Delco UPF64r oil filter, or equivalent, something to do with relief valve pressure. After googling, maybe I am not looking in the right spot, but I cant seem to find...

Am I the only one having a hard time finding Rotella T6 5w40?? I had to buy it from, of all places, Home Depot (and I bought the last two jugs) because literally nobody has it around me, in the SE Michigan area. I even tried to order it online at Walmart, and it said it was unavailable in store...

So I just picked up a 1-owner, garaged its entire life, low miles (70k) 1987 New Yorker, NOT the v8 one, but the K-Car one with the digital dashboard, and voice alerts "YOUR DOOR IS AJAR" lol :cool: It has the 2.5l NON-Turbo, funny thing is I have the original window sticker, and it came...

Het guys... bought this machine brand new, in July 2019. Its a 2019 Polaris Ranger Crew 1000. I changed the factory fill at 20 hours as recommended by the Polaris Dealer, refilled with Polaris 5w50 engine oil, and a genuine Polaris Oil Filter. Changed the oil again, 30 hours later, again with...

Ok BEFORE your blood pressure spikes, and you have a BITOG induced aneurysm, It is noteworthy that Volvo Penta recommends 10w40 for this engine! But I sure caught heck on a boating forum I go to, so for peace of mind, I need some reassurance. I have twin 4.3 EFI engines in my boat, about 350...

I just found a sweet deal on a 2013 Chevy Volt with 12,000 miles...clean carfax (3 year lease - 1 owner), literally no warranty claims or service records, lol. I have slightly over 1 year left on the factory powertrain warranty. Obviously, nothing on the bumper-to-bumper. Anyways, I am buying...

I am looking at a 2006 GMC Yukon XL Denali, 106,000 miles, for $12,500. New Michelins. Needs brakes (Dealer said they will replace pads/rotors as part of the deal). Typical well equipped Denali edition (moon, 6-disc BOSE, autoride, rear entertainment DVD w/wireless headphones). No rust and body...

I have a 15hp 2-stroke Nissan outboard that I run hard and put away wet. I use it on a 10' zodiac (dinghy) and often have 2-3-4 people (and sometimes my black lab too!) going WOT for extended periods of time. I read a while somewhere a while back, I wish I could recall where - that if you are...

I bought a Honda mower from Home Depot this past May, and am changing the oil for the first time. I have WAY more than the recommended 10 hours on it for the first oil change. I have been cutting my grass 2x weekly (and the occasional 3x) since I bought it at the end of May and each time I cut...

I just inherited my Dads 2000 Dodge Ram, single cab long bed 2wd, with the 5.2l engine. In the 6 years he owned it, he barely drove it. I think the oil and filter are from the change he did in 2010 (he was busy fighting cancer before you judge him on not changing the oil). He probably drove it...

Ok,FINALLY after waffling for months about getting a 2nd vehicle... first it was a Chevy Volt, then it was a ___________ (fill in the blank), I finally found a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 4.7l engine and the better transfer case, with brand new tires at a local used car lot for $8000. I...

Used Volts are hitting the market now, and my plan when I bought my Prius in 2012 was as soon as this happened, I would buy one. But I find myself in a conundrum. I found a 2011 (first model year) with a clean GM service history aside from oil changes & tire rotations with 57,000 miles for...

I have twin low hour 4.3l (chevy) Vortec TBI engines in my 27' Four Winns. This season I accumulated only 30 hours on the engines (normal season is 50-75 hours). I did not change anything this season regarding using my engines differently, aside from buying a house which took most of my summer...

I have been contemplating buying a 2011 Jeep GC Laredo with the 3.6l engine. It has 25000 miles, factory option-added heated leather & Navigation. Its nicely equipped for a Laredo. A test drive was performed today.. I have never driven/owned a Jeep before let alone driven a vehicle with the...

We just bought a 2004 Sugar Sand Mirage 18' with the 240 Mercury EFI jet engine. The manual states to use "Premium TCW3 oil". My friend who has the 210hp version of this engine "swears" by ONLY using the Mecury 2 stroke oil. Anybody have a 2 stroke Mercury jet engine - what hp, efi or not, and...

So tonight my friend comes over, her 2006 F-150 has been misfiring badly lately. I hook up my scan-tool, and it has P0300 (multiple misfire), P0304 (cylinder 4 misfire). The CEL is illuminated solid. Truck has 103,000 miles on original spark plugs. You have to accelerate very lightly or the...

My 2007 Prius (1NZ-FXE) burns about 1/4 quart every 3,000 miles. I have 79,000 miles. Other Prius owners with higher mileage report much higher oil consumption (1 quart every 1000 miles) People that have that had their oil burning 1NZ-FXE's open for a rebuild report the rings are not free in...

So I have this old Bolens (1978?) 6hp, 25" dual stage big butt snowblower. I love it and its been in the family since new, became mine around 1998. I changed the oil yesterday and put in some T5 10w/30. Started it up, parked it back in its spot and as I was checking the oil level one last...

Tonight, for the 2nd time in 5 years, I did a pan drop and fluid/filter change on my friends 2008 Grand Prix. It has the 4t65e transmission. The last time I dropped the pan and changed the filter, we used a trans filter from Autozone. That was at 50000 miles. I remember when I replaced the...

I had my 4L60e rebuilt about 3 weeks ago. The clutches were burnt badly and the sunshell stripped taking out the planetaries. It was a hot, hot mess. Have no idea what the trans shop refilled with. They had to flush the whole system (cooling lines). The transmission has an 8 month, 8000 mile...
