Vehicle: 2006 Honda Accord 4 cyl auto, just turned 100,000 miles We bought the Accord 2 months ago for my daughter. The maintenance minder triggered yesterday with B 14 and 15% oil life remaining. It wants oil, filter, tires rotated, spark plugs, valve lash check/adjust, and check/inspect a...

2003 Pontiac Montana, 129K miles, right front wheel bearing has a lot of play and needs to be replaced. This is a hub & bearing unit that is replaced as a whole assembly, the bearings themselves are not servicable. The same or similar part is used on a gazillion GM vehicles. I will order a...

I do the annual maintenance on my snow thrower in the Spring when I put it away for the season. It's a Snapper 9265. The engine is a 9HP Tecumseh Snow King HMSK90. Last April it got fresh Motorcraft 5W-30 semi-syn, along with new spark plug, belts, drive wheel and grease job. I used it once...

My Snapper snowblower calls for Benalene 900 grease in the auger bearings and gearbox. I can't find the stuff, and a Google search only had one hit - a scanned copy of a Snapper manual. I just used ordinary lithium base grease on it. Is that an OK substitute, or should I use something else...
