Many vehicles coming at me seem to have their high beams and fog lights on in clear weather. Is everyone blind or just doesn't care about blinding oncoming traffic? Do you do this? I just use my low beams and see just fine. and most of these vehicles have very bright lights to start with.

With the almost religious fervor of replacing ICE engines with EVs has it occurred to anyone that oil quality could be reduced to help eliminate ICE vehicles? I will rely on the fussy folks here that are almost anal about their oil. I guess it won't be much of a problem, or will it?

My minivan needs new tires and I have narrowed it down to these two. It's been funny reading reviews, they either say these tires are great and some say they are bad. I have had bad luck with Good years and Firestones and tire shops not standing behind them. Kumhos on it now had vibration...

I'm going to replace my crankshaft dampener and will replace the front seal while I'm at it. I have wondered about lightly lubing the seal lip when installing and the Internet gives a wide variety of answers. Many say to install it dry and some say to lube the lip with grease. they also...

I did volunteer work at a food pantry and we always had a freezer full of JD sausage products of various types. We couldn't give the stuff away. Nobody wanted it. My family tried it and it was like eating pepper. Does anyone like this stuff? what keeps the company going?

I've been buying oil online for home delivery and have had positive experiences so far. The choices are good and synthetic blends like Chevron/ Havoline and other jugs go for a decent price. Somewhere around 14-16 bucks. I get free delivery when buying two jugs and a filter. My truck uses a lot...

I'm thinking about getting new tires for my van and have had bad experiences with tire shops(every time) would you ask the shop to use a torque wrench? I've had two studs broken off and all the lug nuts destroyed in the past. I just kind of expect a torque wrench to be used, but it doesn't happen.

My neighbor bought a nice fairly new looking truck with a modified exhaust. Every time he starts it he lets it idle for ten minutes and then when he returns he idles for five minutes before turning it off. I can only guess is that he only drives a mile or two(small town) and thinks his truck...

I stopped at the hardware store and just as I was getting out I watched a small car at a stop sign take off and cut off an f-350. The truck barely stopped in time. then I drove down the road and had people pass me and almost have head on collisions. I was driving just over the speed limit but I...

I used to see this exit sign in TN. that was for a place called Bucksnort. I imagined having to tell someone that you were from a place called Bucksnort!

My dad told me of this Dutch saying. Better to be dumb and lucky than smart and unlucky. I experienced this yesterday. I took my truck to pu some stuff from Home Depot and kept noticing a gasoline smell at times. The truck was running great and I figured it was because I filled the tanks. I...

After reading more about synthetic oil here and the many positive comments on Supertech I joined the club. Super tech 5-30 high mileage synthetic for my f-250. I won't change the oil for a little bit but with winter coming I decided a thinner synthetic oil would be better. The Supertech all...

A Ford mechanic on Youtube talked about short OCI,s because of problems with sludge and he stated that some synthetics weren't really synthetic. He was into 5000-mile oil changes. I would be curious what synthetic oil is really synthetic oil and what isn't? Is it a real thing?

I was at the Toyota dealer for an alignment and walked next door to look at Subarus. I have an interest in looking at a hybrid wagon. I was told they are not sold in Arizona. The young man said they only sell on the east or west coast. I think it was a load of BS. Both the Toyota dealer and the...

I recently read about a possible summertime shortage. Life is grand with covid destroying the supply chain. I'm thinking about getting some new tires for the van and now this makes me want to do it sooner. maybe General rt43 tires. I've had three different makes on the van and they all lasted...

My f-250 had that famous noisy power steering whine and finally, the high pressure hose blew. So a new pump and hoses and a filter were in order. I did some reading here about PS Fluid versus using ATF. It was like reading here about what oil brand or filter to buy. Many opinions. I settled on...

Am I right with Toyota WS -ATF not being synthetic? Seems strange. Thoughts?

I am picking up a new used 2014 Toyota Yaris and I noticed the really small oil filter. Any filter recommendations? Maybe a larger one someone uses? I am figuring a fram synthetic filter with mobile 1 synthetic. The cap says 5w-30 but a TSB calls for 0-20. I guess I will do the summer/winter...

Hi! I have been trying to figure out how to run a line from my T On the oil pressure sending unit to a remote filter setup.I see no 1/8 inner diameter oil lines out there. I have found many stainless lines for a turbo.bUt they use AN lines and I am not sure they will fit my filter mount that has...

I was looking around and noticed their house brand(travelers)full synthetic oil for 16.00 a gallon. Does anyone use this oil? I wonder who packages it? I looked at the search feature here and it didn't have any results.
