    Brake fluid stains on tires

    Hey all, Here's a new one for you that I hope you can all help me with. Sooooooo a few weeks ago, one of my caliper piston seals decided to no longer seal and dumped brake fluid all over the tire. I got all of it off the paint before it did any damage but I tried degreasing the rubber tire and...

    '03 Hyundai Santa Fe "Long Life" USED Fuel Filter 140k Teardown

    Hi all, Decided to change the in tank fuel filter for my car today and I dissected the old one. It has a strange kidney looking filter. Supposedly, this filter is a long life fuel filter. The way I see it, it'll last until it burns out the pump lol.

    Is this A/C Pressure fine?

    So this car's A/C has never really cooled well when on a very hot day (Greater than 95F). It would also blow hot air if left idling for 1 hour or more. I would have to turn off the A/C and wait 15 minutes to get cold air back. This month, anytime that I start the A/C, there is a noticeable...

    Homelite XL 12 Spark Plug Help

    Hey everyone, so I managed to buy this chainsaw for $20. Runs decent but doesn't idle well. Needs a new plug but I can't find much information on which one is correct. I bought an Champion 850eco plug today but the electrodes stick out too far for me to trust it not to hit the piston. Does...

    '03 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.7L V6 - 3300mi - Penn Ultra

    Silicon going down from last oil sample. Changed the air filter from Pentius to Hyundai OEM. Filter had less than 7k miles on it and was not dirty. Haven't done any work recently on it to warrant the high silicone. I am using Hyundai OEM oil filters. This was a 6 month oil change.

    Decent Oil Filter Wrench Nissan Frontier 4 CYL

    The oil filter location on this truck is horrid and I can barely put my hand/ a band wrench to crack the filter loose. I was going to go with a Lisle 63600 but after seeing the reviews I don't think that it will fit the small filter. Anyone know of one that will fit this filter and be compact...

    Did KIA use 100% antifreeze from the factory?

    I just tested the factory coolant just for fun with a Prestone tester. Instead of getting 50/50 the needle pegged all the way to the top. From what I know this stuff is just regular antifreeze, not anything special. Would this affect anything and is this something that I would take up with the...

    Is this a good strategy?

    So I'm planning to replace my antifreeze tomorrow. The current fill is Supertech Universal Antifreeze and I don't like it since both my dad's truck and mine have a black sludge buildup on the radiator neck and cap. The photos match silicate separation. I am planning on replacing it with Pentosin...

    Does anyone have a photo of Pentofrost A2 coolant?

    Hello, I have searched online for a photo of Pentofrost A2 coolant color but I cannot find one. I want to switch over to this stuff for all my cars (Hyundai and Nissan) but I will only do so if the color is close to the KIA oem color as I may need to add some in the future.

    Disappointed with Wix filters and customer service

    I bought a Wix transmission filter kit for my 2002 Nissan Frontier about a year ago. Yesterday, I was servicing the A/C belt and took a look at the transmission pan. I was shocked to see that the pan seal has significant cracks on the outside of the seal. Contacting Wix about this issue resulted...

    2003 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.7L Kendall GT-1 Synthetic

    Oil was used for around 3,000 miles in a 6 month period. Mostly city driving. Big shoutout to Blackstone labs for pointing out the extra silicon! I checked the air filter and didn't notice anything wrong; however that was a cheap filter so I replaced it with an OEM Hyundai one just to be safe...

    Nissan OEM Filter Teardown 4000 OCI 15208-9E01A

    First post on here. Was surprised to see that both ends are metal. What looks like rust is actually the glue they used to seal the paper element with the end caps.

    Kendall GT-1 Full Synthetic is back!

    I just bought some at the 99 cents store today. Looks like they changed the bottles to Kendall GT-1 Max Full Synthetic. It now comes in a red bottle. I'm just happy that I can buy it again since the first fill really quieted my motor!

    Where to buy Kendall Full Synthetic in So Cal?

    I was buying this oil at a local discount store, but it seems like they won't stock it anymore. All they have now is the 76 synthetic blend. I really liked this oil but I can't seem to find it anywhere other than the internet for around $5-6 a quart. Does anyone know of an oil distributor that I...
