We've been doing the "nylons" for 20-25 or more yrs now....after we discovered how much lint was blown all over our screened in back porch. It holds a LOT of material and only fills up near the feet of the 18" long nylons. Dryer is still on the original heaters/electronics from 1991 when...

Was digging around in the hatch back area of my '99 Camaro SS this past week and ran into an old spare quart bottle of M1 5w-30 API SN that had to have been there for years. Guess it will end up in my lawn mower now as I've been using M1 0w-40 FS for a while now.

You can put a simple filter over the dryer vent. My solution was an old pair of my wife's nylons. It's emptied out 2-3X per year.

100% EBay will side with buyer if the item is "not as described." Just show photos, description, etc to prove it. It doesn't matter what a seller's listing or terms state. IF it's not as described.....they lose....and pay return shipping. About the only way a seller can get around that is to...

Don't car washes tend to recycle the same dirty and salty water over and over ? I wouldn't want to spray that on my undercarriage.

Yes, that has the louvers visible on the inside. 2 camps. One say they would never use this with the tight louvres and crinkled leaf spring. Others say they still think they're fine. Though I don't see anyone recommending using them for 15K to 20K miles. I just want to get a safe 8K to...

More than likely Yes. But if you happened to run into some 3-4 yr old stock still on the shelves, then maybe not. If the filter has the sharp louvres in the mid-section rather than small round holes, it's the newer, potentially problematic version.

I totally missed this issue on the Fram Ultra's over the past 4 yrs. Been using XG2's on my daily driver for 5+ years or so......changing out the filter about every 8K-10K miles or every other oil change. I have 2 of them left that are dated 2023. Are they still at least good for single...

I spent 75 cents on this hand siphon pump 1-2 years ago. Finally had a chance to use it this past week to get an extra 8 oz of ATF out of my transmission pan by going down the fill tube. You need to make sure your fill tube doesn't have any factory obstructions to prevent your tube from...

Think I found the problem. The pan is slightly over-filled. Was able to get 4 good readings today in cloudy overcast conditions in 2 different parking lots, each time the stick was the same.....showing 1/8" to 3/16" above the normal operating band. So probably around 4-8 oz of extra fluid...

I think many retail markets including used cars, homes, collectibles, etc. will get much tougher through 2028-2033. The great inflationary market of 1955-2033 is winding down. Lots of markets have to shrink. The old "norms" may not work like they used to. There may not be enough room for...

That could be possible. Though, I did use the exact same branded fluid (Super Tech Mercon V) last time around too. A change in their base formulation?

In the case of my neighbor, his total annual income was around $22K from soc sec. After food, utilities, home insurance, paying off credit card penalties/fees, there wasn't anything left for home maintenance. Could you get a HELOC when you have no means to pay interest on it?

Strange one. For the previous 6 yrs on my 2001 Lincoln (AX4N FWD) with 74K miles always had repeatable readings on the stick both when running (park, idle, hot) as well as when engine off & cold (level at the top of letters "ss" on the stick). Of course the cold level is higher on the...

My next door neighbor went to a Reverse mortgage for the final 5-8 yrs of his life. Single family, 2 BR property worth around $260K then. My neighbor was an ex-IRS mortgage specialist/adjustor who told me he only would go after cases where they could 'win' judgements of $1 MILL or more...

There is no option on the drop down menu to select the "right" oil....in this case "QS Full Synthetic." The entry form requires you to type in at least "3 letters/numbers" to identify your rebate item. Upon putting in "QSUDURA" as on the receipt....it kicks it right out. And the entry...

Just picked up TWO 5 qt jugs of Quaker State Full Synthetic 5w-30 from a Walmart store near me.....$22.97 each. I noted on the store receipt that that they rung up with the "old" name of "QSUDURA" for ultimate durability, code #073102702540. This is the correct Dexos 1 Gen 3 API SQ oil - mfg...

Thanks. I'm feeling a bit better about it. Another discussing with the shop yesterday and today, they offered to flush out the Dex VI and put back in the original GM spec fluid. I think a semi-syn "Ford" Mercon V with the higher viscosity (7.4 cSt) "could" have been a better choice if a...

I finally found out that my local shop when replacing the PS pump on my '99 Camaro SS switched over to Dex VI (ie Wolf's Head synthetic Dex VI HD) despite me telling and providing them with the correct fluid. What I had in there prior was the factory GM light amber PS fluid (GM 89021182...

2001 Lincoln Continental with 74,500 miles. AX4N FWD transmission. Pumped in 14 quarts of fresh Super Tech Mercon V while idling in Park. Had been done every 25K or so miles. No pan drop or filter change this time.....did that last time at 49K miles and wasn't up for monkeying around...
