    Fullway tires

    Anybody here have any real world experience with Fullway tires? (Specifically 205/55R16). They can be had about ~$50 a tire, just looking for a summer tire for my beater 2006 Civic. I run winter tires when the weather turns so not too terribly concerned about cold/wet traction. Not really...

    Hyundai Accents/Kia Rios

    Looking for a newer basic commuter - most of the Hyundai engine problems I can find seem to be more towards the Sonatas and larger cars, are the Accents and Rio's plagued by the engine issues too? (Around 2012ish to 2015) My apologies if this has been covered, I fail at the internet. Thanks in...

    I love free mowers!

    Was gifted a troy-bilt push mower, only hitch was the hubs were broken off the rear wheels, therefore it didn't have any rear wheels - some $6 harbor freight pneumatic wheels fixed that though! They actually make it ride over my rough lawn pretty nice. Oh and of course, also changed the oil...

    1995 Chev G20...what oil

    Hi all, just acquired a 95 chevy g20 conversion/camper van with a 350. Looking on Google seems to yield little results, I assume by '95 the 350 no longer was flat tappet? Running supertech in it for a while as a flush as it sat for nearly 6 years and doing all the other maintenance. What oil...

    PH3600 size instead of PH16 size?

    We have an old Ford Tempo that is rediculously hard to change the oil filter on, because of the width of the filter it gets caught up in the a/c lines, radiator hose, etc when removing it. Is it okay to use a PH3600 filter instead? The "skinnier" filter would make removal and install so much...

    Explain the fear of fiber endcaps to me?

    I really want to understand people's fear of them, there's even lots of filters now with no endcap at all ... I mean the media that the oil is passing through is paper but everyone gets in a frenzy over fiber/cardboard caps?

    Weird Issue...'93 Ford Tempo transmission dipstick

    We have an old beater '93 Ford Tempo, and when you pull out the transmission dipstick to check the fluid, the engine immediately stalls out...what could be the cause of this? If I give it a little throttle while pulling the stick out it stays running. It's only when you first pull the dipstick...

    Clearance Oil

    Not the same at all WalMarts, but i've been noticing a lot of oil in the clearance aisles lately. I picked up some Valvoline maxlife 5W-30 synthetic for $1.xx a quart, and a few quarts of Mobil 1 syn 15W-50 for $2.xx a quart (probably will just use that as top off oil and in the old Topaz oil...

    Heard a new one towards the Fram hate today ....

    Yesterday a customer at work told me that Fram oil filters lower the engines compression, and that we are dumb for doing that to customers engines, etc etc... ((That's the new one, wasn't aware an oil filter affected compression, LOL!) (Even funnier is that she brought an autolite oil filter...

    Why no common sense while driving?

    Do people have no common sense while driving? I've had three vehicles totaled by other drivers who were just plain being impatient or not paying attention... Almost was side-swiped again today because someone trying to cut between two cars to pass, when there was just a red light up ahead...
