Not sure if this has been posted already. It seems an online configurator somewhat confirms the 2021 Bronco will get the 2.3L under the hood. I'm not at all surprised considering its based on the Ranger. At the same time this could just be something that was entered as a place holder and not...

And by "fun" and I mean "fury inducing". Just doing an oil change on the VW and after taking the engine cover off I find this. This could have probably started a fire at some point. Sorry for the massive image size

I searched and didn't this posted yet https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a25862095/2020-ford-mustang-shelby-gt500-photos-info/ Pretty amazing. A bit too much car for my needs/capabilities. I had previously driven a 2009 GT500, and have often thought about picking up an 07-2012 model. They are...

Hey all, So my recently acquired 1995 Mustang has a leaking rear main seal. Not sure if the oil I started running in it (Pennzoil Plat 10w30 HM) cleaned anything and caused the leak, or if it was just its time. Is there any trick to lessen or slow the leak? I know the seals are about $30, but I...

While I was upgrading the rear sway bar on my 95 Mustang this past weekend I decided to change the rear diff fluid while I was under there. Its a little easier to get to the cover with the swaybar out of the way. The bolts were pretty loose, not a good thing. So I pull the bolts, crack the...

So I recently purchased a new toy. It has 85,000 miles on it. I have a bottle of Redline SI-1 on the shelf. I previously used the SI-1 at roughly oil change intervals, until I started using Costco Top Tier fuel at every fill up. Anyway I was thinking about running this bottle through my new toy...

Saw this on a site I check daily for automotive themed shirts. Seemed appropriate here BLIPSHIFT SHIRT

So I had to buy a car recently for a relative (long story). I ended up with a 2006 Saturn Ion. After some research (before buying) it has some decent components... 2.2 EcoTec, 4-speed trans that was used in V6 models so its beefier than the years before 06. But there was an issue... The key...

Does anyone use a home safe? I'm looking at getting one recently to store a couple pistols, jewellery, documents, ETC. I saw one in a store at 1.24 cubic feet that looked like an OK size, but wouldn't be opposed to larger. The issue I'm having is even $200 models seem to have negative reviews...

Not sure if this was posted already https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china...e-idUSKBN1FW124 Quote: The company is calling back those cars to resolve a problem caused by an unusual amount of un-combusted petrol collecting in the engine’s lubricant oil pan. I know a couple members on here...

In the beginnings of looking into panels for the house, and a whole setup. It looks like by some calculators that the return would be 7-10 years depending on usage and current rates. Considering usage typically doesn't go down, and rates don't either, it could be sooner. Right now I have heat...

I did a quick search and didn't see anything, even a normal google search. Whats up with the price of pennzoil platinum now?? $45 on amazon, $42.99 at walmart? This has been my go-to for the Hyundai turbo I change the oil for for the past 45k miles. My research awhile ago showed that PP met the...

Thought this was interesting (maybe not?). On the Right is the Fram XG2, I had bought a couple of them for my now-gone Jeep, luckily they also work on my 4.6 mustang. On the left is a filter I just got in for my new truck, 2016 Frontier with the 4.0. The engines are of a somewhat similar size...

Hey all, Looking at getting a new tractor soon, maybe before start of the season. I remember seeing some one mention Cub Cadet now having EFI engines. After looking at them I'm liking the XT2, possibly with the V-twin 679cc. Link...

Sorry if this has been discussed before, I tried looking but didn't find much information... Can the use of Top Tier gas all the time cause any kind of build-up of detergents? I use Costco gas as its on my way home from work, its cheaper than everywhere else, and its top-tier rated. They...

Hi all, Its been awhile since I've had a new car, or one I need to worry about warranty work. My jeep has an extended warranty, so this may apply to it as well. When doing my own maintenance, especially oil changes, what is the best way to document for warranty purposes? I will be ordering oil...

Hey all, Just picked up a 2017 Golf Sportwagen with the 1.8 TSI motor. So far its been a pretty great ride. For the VW folks, what is the oil everyone is going with in these (or the 2.0)? I think the factory fill is Castrol 5w40. From the looks of things Mobil 1 0w40 may be a good choice, but...

Hey all, Hope this is the right place for this... Yesterday I started up my 97 Jeep with 4.0 I6, and while it idled for a minute I was checking tire pressure. I smelled something and noticed some "vapor" coming from the exhaust near the transmission/bell housing. I think it may have been some...

Hey, back with another filter question Looking at changing the oil soon on my 2013 Jeep with the 5.7 Hemi. Last 2 changes have used Purolator Pure One filters. I was actually looking for a "bulk" option as I just realized that 3 of my cars use the same filter size (m1-210, Fram PH2 for...

Hi All, Going on a long trip soon, with my 2008 Mustang GT (Bullitt, 4.6 3v). Usually for this car I use Mobil 1 5w20. This isn't my daily, So I usually change the oil once a year (maybe 3k miles). I will be doing roughly a 3,000 mile round trip soon, including some pretty hard high RPM...
