My '07 Accord has the stock 16" alloys. Tire size is 205/60-16. I'm interested in getting run flats as this is my wife's daily driver and I don't want her changing a tire on the side of the highway. I know the drawbacks but what to consider my options. I checked tire rack and there doesn't seem...

My trans calls for a GL4 or GL5 75-90. It is a Toyota 4wd 5 speed. I am not looking to use a synthetic at this time for this specific transmission. What choices do I have in quality conventional oils? And does anyone make a conventional GL4 75-90 because I haven't seen any? Thanks

I've never bought struts before and this is for my girlfriends car. Just want something quality. This is for a 2001 Toyota Solara. Gabriels are on sale right now at my local store that I prefer shopping at. Other stores have other types. Are Monroe's Better? or worth spending more money on? If...

I have a new to me '01 Suzuki SV650 with 19k miles. It had a sticky clutch. Felt like some of the plates were sticking together and only part of the clutch was disengaging. I changed the oil (Rotella T) and adjusted the clutch lever/cable and experienced no change. Since I have a few extra...

After 2 OCI I noticed the latest stuff seems to run differently in my bike. And a few bike forums I'm on are talking about how people have seen decreased smoothness in shifting with the CJ4 spec compared to the CI4. I heard ZDDP levels are lower for emissions reasons. Any truth to that? I plan...

Would driving with a busted motor mount cause increased wear? There was a lot of vibration and I was forced to drive it until a new part arrived. I put a lot of miles on it in that condition. Should I change the oil out since it's now fixed? Or should I contiune with my normal OCI?

Mother of 3 Killed, no consequences for driver of truck. I am hoping everyone else is as mad about this as I am. The driver of the truck only got a ticket for killing a mother of three. People need to know about this and people need to voice their outrage.
