Got 10000 miles and 1 year on this Mobil 1 EP oil filter. Good for another 10,000 miles or time to throw it out?

I have often noticed that aftermarket companies will promote their parts as good, better, best. The good is often promoted as just meeting OE specs, whereas if you get the best, also considered premium, they make you think your getting something better than OEM. I have often noticed their are...

My morning started out checking the valve clearance on my just acquired generator with a Honda GX270. Inside was great and clean, clearances passed with flying colors and it all went downhill when I put the cover back on. Couldn’t find the actual spec, other than 27 ft Ib of torque at standard...

Long power outages are rare to non existent where I live. But I like to consider buying at least a portable generator. I know people that own generators 30+ years, and rarely used them. Never for power outages for days on end. So I like to consider being prepared for bare necessities and not...

I was wondering what is the proper way to quiet a limited slip differential. I heard is you add the LS additive 1 oz. at a time and drive it in a circle. Does clutch material make a difference?

Tonight, my battery light on my 04 Ford Sport Trac came on when stopped or idling. When I got home, I put the battery charger on and battery was at 50%. Battery was new at beginning of year. Charged battery. Bad alternator?

My Sport Trac headlights are yellowing. And I am currently trying to decide what approach to take. They are good compared to the LED headlights in my 17 Toyota RAV4. But about the same or better than the old fashioned sealed beam on my 09 Ford E-Series work van. The bulbs are still original. Is...

I wonder if anyone used Pro Fleet Care? Is there other competing services? Could this be used on a Hybrid?

I was wondering if anyone knows what the failing part was in this TSB? Why certain Ford 8.8 axles had this problem and not others? Should you consider using 75w140 instead in your Ford 8.8, even if your vehicle is not listed in this TSB? Ford Explorer Rear End Whine/Hum TSB 05-12-6 Vehicles...

How do you install a fram filter with the grip? Can you use your hand or do you still need to tighten with a wrench?

I was wondering, is there a difference in friction modifiers? Who has better ones? Worse ones? Does clutch material make a difference in which one you use?

Looking at upgrading my sport trac differential from open to locking or limited slip. I know it is a 4.10 ratio. Any suggestions?

Today, I was washing down the salt off my 04 Ford Sport Trac. I have noticed that I could see into the engine compartment more than I used to from the front wheel wells. I thought it was unusual. So I looked and it appeared that the splash shield was missing from both of them. Probably weren't...
