And what is it? No information whatsoever is present on the bottles nor in XPS's website. Manual for my 2016 Grand Touring LE snowmobile with 900 ACE 4 Stroke engine mentions SAE 0W-40 API SM synthetic oil as alternative. Chaincase oil is also a secret... I had the first oil change done at the...

I recently put an order for a lightly equiped Ford Edge SEL AWD with the 3.5l V6. Assembly is in Oshawa, On. According to Wikipedia, the transmission is a version of this combined effort with GM; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM-Ford_6-speed_automatic_transmission I chose the Ford over the...

I'm getting this '08 Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad 1600 from the original owner. It's been serviced at the dealer and has 53000 km on it (33000 mi). Oil used was 10W-40 conventional and synthetic with Kawasaki filter 16097-0008. Would you use any of the Xref filters such as Wix 51358 and Rotella 15W-40...

I currently have one of each for my SkyActiv '14 Mazda 6. Obtained 2 from a US Mazda dealer but exchanged one that was dented at a canadian dealer. Didn't notice the "A" on one of them although part number has it on both bills. The filters appear physically identical and are both Made in Japan.

I installed my ScanGauge II in my new Mazda but it won't turn off when I kill the engine? Could it be fooled by the push-button start? I unhook and reinstalled the connector with the engine ON a few times to no avail. It connects with the car and displays normaly but doesn't come off and the...

I'm still unsure of the oil filter location on my new 2014 Mazda 6 GS (canadian mid trim). Front or back of the engine? Can't see from above and the underneath of the engine bay is shrouded. I'm planning to use the OEM filter. $10.50 at my dealer. Will get a few in the US next month at likely...

With all the CVT carping and bashing going on, I finally had an opportunity to drive one, actualy a 2012 Nissan Altima 2.5S for a week and 500 miles in Florida. And to my surprise, I liked the CVT more than I thought I would. It was smooth and silent. Far from loud or obtrusive. Turns a lazy...

Just purchased a Garmin nuvi 1350 LMT at WM for $128.C. I was expecting to be able to xfer directions from Google Maps to the GPS but only the addresses xfer which doesn't help much. For example, all the directions between my Montreal and florida locations that I modified on Google Maps. Is...

http://imperialoil.ca/Canada-English/Files/Products_Lubes/IOCAENPVLMOMobil_Super_1000.pdf Just bought a jug of this in 5W-20 (SN/GF5) for the GF's '10 Elantra on sale at Cdn Tire only to find that PP is only -31C and CCS/MRV are the worst of any comparable oil. Is this Super 100 a rebranded...

Saw my engine temperature (on my ScangaugeII) jump from a normal 82C to as high as 101C last night while driving from Plattsburgh NY to Montreal in a snow storm. Speed was in the 60-80 Km range and RPM around 1500 the whole way. The engine temp gauge needle still sat 1/8" below the half way...

BIL came over with his new '10 Dodge Journey SXT with the 3.5 liter V6. To my surprise, the oil cap says 10W-30. I thought that 10W-30 had been superseded by 5W-30 years, if not decades ago on most US and asian cars. I didn't peek into the owner's manual and I understand that this particular V6...

"Scions are cheaper Toyotas Made in China"... Heard this one from a moron in the trade while waiting to get my quarterly haircut on Saturday... Poor italian barber who could hardly place a word. Let's hear about your car related barbershop stories.

My brother just traded his 2004 F150 for a 2010, both with the 5.4l 3 valve engine. Although the 2010 only has a 10 HP bump over the 2004, everything underhood is configured and looks different, even the sound of the engine. The valve covers, the intake, plumbing, battery location, etc...

Made in China... Was in use 3 months, 10179 Km (6325 miles) summer OCI, 60% highway, 25% commuting and 15% city. 5W-30 VWB. I have little experience in filter cutting and lack the proper tools hence the lousy job so bear with me. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us...

An acquaintance received a 5K offer for this car from her father's estate. 1977 Lincoln Continental Town Car sedan, less than 10000 original miles, 460 cid, completely original, original paint, dark blue over dark blue "velour" interior, no rust, never driven in winter, always garaged. Was last...

Changed my oil 2 days ago and discovered a leak coming from the drain bolt today. Before removing the bolt I inadvertently tightened it some more before actually loosening it and I still use the OEM aluminum washer... Do you think I should try to loosen it a bit and retightening it in hope of...
