Received a phone call from a relative that works for VW. They located a new 2006 Jetta TDI that has been sitting in the port for quite some time. I was able to get a heck of a lease deal on it (through the family connection) and couldn't turn it down. I hadn't even really been considering a...

Need a little BITOG help. How much should I expect to spend on suspension replacement for a 1994 Buick Regal? In fact, I'm not even familiar with what parts are used in this suspension. That's part of my problem I imagine. I need new tires, so I figured I might as well do everything I could to...

I don't recall the name of the stuff...but I remember watching those infomercials where people would gather around an engine in a big freezer...and the oil had been drained out of the engine. It would then start like normal and everyone was amazed. Seemed like those commercials were on all the time.

My 1994 Buick Regal 3800 is going to roll over 130k in the next few months. For a 12 year old car, it runs great and looks OK. I'm just starting to get that itch...purely mental. Usually not cheap. Any thoughts on the 2003 and up Lincoln LS V8s? I like the looks of them and read good things...

I've had a leaking trans cooling line problem for a while now. It's a real slow leak. The car is a '94 Buick Regal 3800 w/ the 4t60E trans I believe. 125,000 miles. I have finally decided it's time to fix it. No explanation. Anyhow, the rubber hoses are crimped on one end to the metal lines...

I recently just purchased a 2002 Ford Explorer Limited 2WD w/ the 4.6 for my wife, 38,000 miles. The discounts on the new ones really helped push down the used prices in this case. Had a couple questions about the trans. It feels fine now, but... I know the Ford transmissions aren't the...

In recent months I've had some issues with my Buick while driving along at highway speeds. It would sort of stumble or miss I suppose while travelling at a constant speed. It started to get worse and the car would accelerate unevenly in all gears. The car would idle fine though. I sort of came...

I just passed the 7000 mile mark in my 3800 Regal on this fill of M1 0W-40. At 4000 miles I changed the filter and toppped off w/ fresh oil which came to about a quart. I found out my drain plug wasn't 100% tight so it was leaking ever so slightly. It hasn't really burned any off since that...

Since I'm a relative newbie, I may have missed this topic in the past. I thought of this idea during my first few visits to BITOG ... and the 3,000 mile oil change thread reminded me of it. It may be a bad idea or pointless. Is there some contraption that would pump your old oil through...

Castrol Syntec Blend 10w-40. Mobil Drive Clean 10w-30 & 10w-40. Also has some SuperTech 10w-30 in there. Basically whatever I had lying around. OCI of 4100 miles. Blackstone gave good reviews & said take it to 5500. I am on to M1 0w-40 now though.

Newbie here. Long time looker, first time poster. Here's some quick background before my question. I have the disease most here suffer from as well. All my cars have fresh oil in them, and I still have enough quarts left to do it all again. I stock 0w-40 M1, GC, and any others oils found on...
