Before I tear a motorcycle that was given to me for free apart, I'd like to try filling the carb bowls with some sort of cleaner. I know it won't work but I'm stubborn and want to try something first. Plus it doesn't hurt that the carbs are pain in the ass to remove. Is there anything better...

As the title says I have a 2015 Tacoma with a 4 cylinder. I ran Pennzoil Platinum 0W20 and a mobile one filter. I ran it just over 4600 miles, just shy of the 5000 mi recommended interval. Looks like they were concerned about the iron and potassium, in the flash point is just under the spec...

I have a 2015 Toyota Tacoma, it has the 2TRFE 4 cyl. Having an odd issue. I first saw it last year but it was not that common. Some of the time on cold startups, I would almost lose prime and the oil light would initially shut off and then turn back on. By cold I was looking at negative...

Fleet farm has 5w40 farm rated synthetic for $100 per 5 gal. Anyone know who makes it for them, or any other information on it?

My local fleet farm is selling 5 gallons of traditional dex iii/mercon for $45. I have an '02 E-450 with a 4r100, that specs older fluids. Anyone use it? Is there any reason I shouldn't? I'd like to practice a pattern of drain and fill the pan

I've got a 2015 Toyota Tacoma, with a 2.7 4 cylinder. So far on really cold days I have a very odd issue. On cold startup, it acts as though the oil pump loses prime. I will get pressure for a second and then the lifters will collapse and the oil light will turn on. Blip the throttle or give...

I've been to three Walmarts in my area, looking for 75 w 90, and I can't find any of the supertech. I'm just wondering if it's a me thing or if there's a greater problem?

I've been helping a buddy prep a pop-up camper for use. It has one of those Dexter axles with the easy lube system, and I'm pretty sure the previous owner just threw whatever grease he had on hand in there. So we've got an apartment we're cleaning it up and I figured now is as good a time as...

I have a Ford van, that takes six 225/75 r16, in load range e. I'm looking for a tire to eventually transition into. It's a highway and dirt road rig so rib tread patterns are probably preferred, something with a more eco-friendly pattern, and something that's rated for snow and ice. Any...

Sorry if this is bringing up a beaten topic, but search doesn't seem to be coming up with much. I bought an E-Series van, with the 7.3 PSD, that has relatively low miles and oodles of idle time. Is there a recommended fuel system cleaner for diesels? From what I've seen it seems like nobody...

I did something stupid, and I bought an ambulance to convert into a road trip/ RV. The aluminum on the box is kind of rough in areas, so I figure I should do something about the lights while I'm at it. I'm only going to keep a couple of the area flood lights, and all emergency lights are...

Oh boy I found another rabbit hole. 2002 Ford e-450, 7.3. There was somebody on here that made a confirmed 5% increase in fuel economy, just by switching from motorcraft 15w40 to motorcraft 10w30 diesel oil. Convention has always taught me that the 7.3 takes 15W40, but I don't have a owner's...

Long story short I bought an early 2000s ambulance, with a 7.3 and a 4r100. The best of my knowledge I need mercon v or before. It's a relatively low mileage truck, exceedingly so considering its age, I'd like to change out the filter, and do a couple of drain and fills with something cheap to...

I just bought my first diesel, it's a 2002 e450, as an ambulance, andI I'm looking for a recommendation, I'd like to run something that is good for a relatively short oci, at cleaning up the internals of an older powerstroke. Specifically a 2002 7.3. I know heavy duty engine oils have decent...

97 Jeep Cherokee XJ, Dana 30 front axle, 3.07 gears. I'm going to install a lunch box locker in the next couple of days. One of the Aussie locker styles. It gets very cold here at times, so I intend to run a 75w90 in it to improve cold performance. Is that a bad call? I'm also looking for...

Odd problem. I have a leftover quart of Mercedes-Benz power steering fluid that I used on a late model (2017ish) sprinter. I bought a golf mk4, (2000) and in the process of putting it back together i drained the power steering fluid, and need to replace it. What do you think are the odds it...

My old ragged xj is due for a trans service. It's gotten cold here in Minnesota, and the first couple of miles is like shifting through frozen pudding. The ax-15 isn't having any of it. Any oil recommendations for something with good cold weather performance? Factory spec was a range of gear...

I currently have to change the wife's oil. She has a 2015 Subaru Forester with the fb25 engine, and a 6-speed. That combination is known for drinking oil, and hers is no exception. We had an oil consumption test done, but it just greased by at 75000 miles and they wouldn't put a short block in...

I have been gifted a used Craftsman 917.270532,with a Briggs Ic gold, 14.5 hp engine, riding mower. The previous owner let the head gasket blow, and with a quick replacement she fired right up. After the initial joy of hearing it pop over, I idled it down, and surprise, a knock at idle...

As per usual, after fixing the house, something went wrong with the truck. My 02 tundra blew it's rack. I get a day out of it before refilling it. The leak just spring up too. I fully intend to replace the rack, but I need a month to save. Is there any product that works better than the others?
