It came to 404 before tax. He said the starter is behind the exhaust and hard to get to. The car is nice like you say but one weird thing is doing a brake job requires the open end of a wrench be narrow enough to fit the hex on the caliper slide pin on both front and rear of the car. This was...

I had my mechanic take care of it, they determined it was definitely the starter. Haven't had a problem since.

Hi, I have a 2011 Buick Lacrosse(2nd gen) 3.6 V6. My dad bought it used with 20k miles and everytime the battery fails, there is no warning, it just does not try to start. My dad replaced the battery first when it would not start with an Interstate battery from Costco. That one failed after 3...

Just as I quoted in my original post. Idk how well a synthetic straight weight 20w oil is going to work in very cold temperatures. It may be synthetic but it's still a straight weight oil. My compressor only sees occasional use so it can't be that bad to run multiviscosity oils. I've seen a lot...

My biggest worry is winter performance. Whatever

Not all rarus is available in small quantities but must be good oil. I ended up putting Mobil 1 5w30 in my compressor.

Hi, I replaced my oil-less air compressor that broke within a few years with a Makita MAC2400 oil lubed air compressor. It is 2.5hp, 4.2 gallon. Here is a chart describing the oil requirements in a variety of weather from the Makita manual: I would ideally like to just change out the ISO 68...

Also I'm changing the caliper brackets too. If someone could point me where to find the caliper bracket mounting bolts for the rear of my car that would be nice. Rock Auto only has bolts for the front. Maybe they're the same??

Hi, My 2013 Subaru Impreza needs rear pads and rotors and the the right rear caliper piston face is pretty rusty. Not sure if I should just replace it. I guess I am just worried that the rusted piston will wear a pad unevenly, however the pad it pushes on IS warn evenly. I never did a caliper...

Ok I have a 2004 Buick LeSabre 100k miles. The abs light came on today so I scanned it when I got home and despite that the light is on, it showed no current codes. It is a GM tech ii scanner which can give past stored codes as well and showed two codes for the right front wheel speed sensor...

It comes as a wheel bearing and hub assembley; non servicable. The left and right are the same part number. I just wonder if its alright to switch rotation after it spent 80k miles spinning in one direction.

I have an extra front wheel bearing from the right side of my car that I replaced in error. It turned out the "grinding" sound I was hearing when taking left turns was just low steering fluid. So the bearing is fine but I have another car that might have a bad left wheel speed sensor, which...

Well, you saw in my previous post what I said about it seeming like the throttle body sitting too high. Admittedly I am an amateur, but I thought everything and the bracket were on correctly. The benefit claimed by that mani is that it comes with a metal sleeve for the port known to melt. Next...

Originally Posted By: Lubener Try re torquing the UIM bolts (88 inch lbs), but it could be warped if it was tightened unevenly.I had to tweek them shortly after replacing UIM. I'll try that. Does anyone know if the coolant needs to be drained before removing the plenum?

Its fine I now know the coolant loss source. The cap was normal from sort trips.

I've been noticing the smell of coolant around the left side of my car after driving. It's leaking out the end of the upper intake. There's only 25k miles on all new gaskets and upper plenum. I used the plenum from here http://www.ineedparts.com/gm-intake-sure-fix-manifold-kit.html it seems a...

This was fall but maybe I was taking short trips a few days before. Most of my driving is 35 minutes to and from work monday to friday. Maybe I'll switch back to Penz Platinum and get an oil analysis if it comes back with some reason to worry.

2004 Buick Lesabre 3800 SII L36 engine. Did upper and lower intake manifold gaskets with the aluminum frame lower gaskets and upgraded upper manifold at 50k miles. Did as precaution because the upper manifold was leaking oil and previous owner never changed the coolant. Have run Pennzoil...

I forgot about a nearly full 2.5 gallon bottle of Amsoil synthetic ATF(expensive) outside with a peanut butter jar propped up draining clean ATF back into it, then my dad also forgot about it and used the leaf blower. It's safe to say some dirt and dust got blown into there. Can this ATF be made...
