    BG transmission fluid

    I have a 05 grand caravan and am going to have the tranny flushed and new filter put in. The guy says I can have it with or without BG fluid. I understand that BG products are very good, but I'm kind of leary since it is a mopar tranny. I also didn't ask whether it was just the additive or their...

    Stored oil life

    I still have some PenZ PP from about 07 and 08 that I haven't used. When I bought them I had three vehicles that I was doing oil changes on, but now am down to 1. It is kept in the garage, but it doesn't freeze in there. How long should I expect it to still be good or does it really ever go bad?

    Stanley tools buys out Black and Decker

    Seems like a good fit, but I hate that it will mean that many will lose their jobs. I haven't been impressed with Stanley products but I have had decent luck with B&D. Also didn't know that Stanley tools owned Mac tools, or at least according to the article it did.

    Locking lug nuts or not?

    Have a 09 Mazda 3 that came with locking lug nuts on it. The dealer put them on because they would have the wheels stolen off the cars on the lot since it is at the edge of town. However I'm more cocerned that sometime I'll need to get a wheel off and not be able to get the lug nut loose. I've...

    Change by months or by miles?

    I bought a Mazda 3 and they have a change schedule of 5000 miles or every 4 months. Now for me I probably won't get 5000 months every 4 months, but it seems rather dumb to change oil and any other scheduled maint. earlier. Over time I could having myself look at parts like the brakes or air...

    Syn for 3HP air compressor

    I have a 3HP HF (don't laugh too hard please) air compressor in my garage. It usually isn't heated unless I'm going to be out there though. Have been thinking about changing to a syn oil like 10w30 syntech. Does anybody have a opinion on changing over to it or would I really gain that much?

    Pure One Filters

    I have been using the Pure One filters for a little while but because of their flow compared to many other ones bothers me. I use Mobil 1 in most of my vehicles and change the filter every 3000 miles and the oil every 6000 miles. Is the flow rate that low that by the time the oil change comes...
