Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss. Just be careful with the dilution ratio. Or you could use Chemical Guys Mr. Pink. And most importantly, make sure you use the two-bucket method to wash your vehicles (which actually requires a third bucket for wheels and tires and grit guards in each bucket):

I think you have to decide for yourself how long the manufacturer expects the vehicle to last. Their maintenance schedule might not get you to your desired mileage/age target. Examples with that are transmission, power steering, and brake fluids. The user's manual doesn't ever need them to be...

So no one here has any issue with putting fresh oil in a seasonal engine around October/November, and then letting it sit over the winter in a sump, and then using that Oct/Nov storage oil fill for the following Spring/Summer/Fall's use?

I was reading the September 2015 Amsoil magazine, and in it were some recommendations for winter equipment storage (page 6). They recommend the following four steps for lawn & garden equipment: 1) Stabilize the fuel 2) Fog the engine (if applicable) 3) Change the oil and filter 4) Remove grass...

Great resources! Thank you to all!

Looks like the U.S. Government is finally asking some questions about why terrorists always seem to use Toyota products: http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/06/politics/u-s-treasury-isis-toyota/index.html

Now that Skyline R32 models are getting to be 25 years old, my understanding is that they can be imported and legally registered in the United States. A number of websites are starting to list them for sale, and I'm keeping a close eye on a few candidates that look interesting. So with that in...

Thanks for the feedback. I don't want to overthink this, but I don't want to make a mistake with a P/S system that is working well. If a high mileage power steering fluid can help prolong the useful life of the system with no ill effects, then I'm all for it. I don't have much experience with...

I just bought a set of General Altimax RT43 tires for my wife's Dodge Caliber, and they are EXCELLENT! Smooth, quiet ride, great grip and handling, long expected tread life, and reasonable cost. They have excellent reviews, and many users report they handle exceptionally well in the snow (a big...

In another recent thread, I posted about using P/S fluid with stop leak in it when there is no leak. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/3873960/P/S_fluids_with_stop_leak_if_n The consensus of the few posters was that there should be no issues. Follow-up question...

Thank you both for the helpful feedback!

I just got a really great price on a quart of Valvoline MaxLife Power Steering Fluid with Stop Leak (http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/valvo...vv335/7080052-P) to be used in an early 2000s Dodge pickup truck with ~110,000 miles on it. To the best of my knowledge, the P/S fluid in the truck has...

Good point. I did check out those links, and they did answer most of my questions. Looks like the reservation system is NOT binding, and can be canceled by the buyer or TESLA at any time. No word on how long it would take to refund a reservation fee, but it doesn't seem like they'd hold it...

I'm hoping to poll the infinite wisdom of BITOG. My daily driver is 8/9 years old, and I'll probably hang on to it for another 3-5 years. That said, I've been waiting for more info on TESLA's Model 3, and it appears that reservation pre-orders will be available around March 2016. For the...

I think we may be closing in on an answer.. I ran the truck for about 5-10 minutes on back roads to go get a bite to eat, and then drove it back the same 5-10 minutes. I then went through the gears, and let it idle in park on level ground for 4-5 minutes. Result? Fluid was in the crosshatches...

No worries Ducman- apology accepted. I'm not having issues with the transmission per se, but I am getting readings that are higher than the cross-hatch section of the dipstick. I'm trying to get it to within the acceptable level range. But no, the transmission isn't acting up (that I can...

Another great place for tractor tires is Miller Tire. I've done business with them and would definitely recommend them. http://www.millertire.com/
