    Seafoam Now Locally Available.

    Was at a local Napa yesterday and saw for the first time a display of Seafoam products. I've never seen that here before. Nice to see, actually. The guy on the cash said that a group of salesmen just made a run throughout all of the Napa stores in the Province. John

    Centre-cap for Steel Wheels

    Have recently purchased a set of 16" steel wheels for winter-tire use on my wife's Liberty. Got 'em at Costco. Anybody have any idea where a person can source a set of centre-caps to cover the hubs? Don't want a set of pie plates. Anyway, I have seen some that snap into the actual exposed hub &...

    '06 Ram - LSD Fluid Replacement (R.P.)

    Interested in any of your wisdom: Just bought a hemi Ram with very little use on it. Has around 28,000 kms on the odo. Anyway, other than the dealer, there is precious little quality (read that "real") synthetic gear oil available locally. Actually, I doubt that the Mopar stuff is anything...

    Jeep CRD Differential Oil Service.

    Took the CRD in for it's first 20,000 km service last week. Using a 10,000 km severe service interval (Schedule B) for it. After the CI-4+ RTS was poured in, the mechanic started checking off the vehicle's service card list of service items. He couldn't believe that it called for both front and...

    Seafoaming a 1.8T engine.

    Got some Seafoam a few days ago. Wish to do a cleaning of the Jetta's intake, etc. Can someone with a bit more knowledge about these things than I give me the play-by-play on this one? Thanks. Oh yeah, same goes for a 318 Magnum as well. John.

    Diesel/gas fuel additive.

    Well. That was a constructive response - NOT. The fellow asks a legitimate question hoping for some direction by more learned people. Instead he gets this garbage... Very nice. Anyway, previous idiot notwithstanding, I find that I have been seeing a smoother idle (if that is any indicator) on...

    Shell Rotella 5w/40 Syn

    Shared transmissions will chew up your oil over time no matter what it is. I have had great success with the RTS and regular Delo. Have found a wonderful local value on Mobil Devac 1 and am currently using it ($12.00 per four litre jug!). For the money, RTS is one of the best vaules in oil...

    RTS available in Canada

    Seems that Rotella T synthetic is now being produced by Shell Canada. Same 5w-40 weighting as American product. Same blue jug as well, but in the full four litre capacity. An International dealer here has just begun to stock it for $26.00 a jug. That dealer is ALWAYS much more expensive than a...

    Unknown oil Kawasaki KLR650 3,500 miles

    It likely sheared down to a thirty weight oil from whatever starting point that it had. Can't see anybody putting a thirty weight oil into a single... John.

    Is there a longer filter than a 7317?

    After doing a search, it does not appear that I can find a filter longer than a 7317 series filter. I saw some information that indicated that WIX 1357 was slightly longer (3.4 versus 3.2)however the WIX site lists them as the same length (diameter being equal). My application is restricted in...

    ELC for a bike...

    Can someone give me a suggestion as to what sort of extended life coolant would be appropriate for a motorcycle. Are there any particular concerns of which I should be aware? Thanks folks. John.

    Great Deal on Exxon Gear Oil

    Okay, so I don't get too many great deals around here on oils (except bulk XD-3 synthetics), but today I dropped back at the local Peterbilt dealership where they sell gear oil in whatever amounts you want. I was in there a while ago inquiring about Mobil 1 75w-90 for my bike's final drive...

    '92 Dodge 318 Magnum

    Hi guys, After doing some searches, have not been able to find any recommendations as to over-sized filter applications. Forget Purolator and Mobil filters as they are not available (as far as I can tell) in this country. Am using Napa Gold oversize in my Jetta and that seems great thus far...
