My brother-in-law has a Fusion with 215k miles. He bought it used at a good price, but the transmission made a lot of noise between 2nd and 3rd gear. I pumped out about 5 quarts through the dipstick tube, and replaced it with Castrol Import MV fluid. I also added LubeGard Shudder Fix, and it was...

I have a 2012 Grand Caravan, and I replaced the thermostat. I need a couple gallons of coolant now. I have some PGL 50/50, and G-05 concentrate. Can I mix the two, or do I just need to buy another gallon of one? Thanks.

I was at AAP, and saw 5 quart jugs of Maxlife 5W-30 with a "new formula" sticker. I looked at the back, and the "donut" said API SP. Has anyone else seen SP in "the wild"?

My wife's 2012 GC coolant reservoir was running low. No leaks, it's just been very hot lately. We got it used, and it has the newer purple OAT coolant, not the orange HOAT. The previous owner said the dealer flushed it. I've been reading the forums, and Peak Global Lifetime seems to be the best...

I saw this in the dollar store for $8 a gallon. It’s just like Prestone, etc. HOAT, but pale yellow instead of neon green. I worked on a vehicle and replaced the old stuff with this. It tests at -40, and the car likes it. It’s a good deal if you don’t want to go to Walmart.

My wife has a 2012 GC with 123K. I’ve been running 5W-30 FS in it. However, I now have an oil hoard due to the AAP clearance. I have full synthetic 0W-20, 5W-20, and 5W-30 all lying around. I’m sure all three would work. Any advice?

I heard a radio ad from Castrol promoting Edge EP today. “Why spend $50 for 5 quarts of annual oil, when you can get Castrol Edge EP with titanium for a lot less? It’s good for 15,000 miles.”

I just went into the local AAP and saw full synth Carquest 0W-16. What even specs this yet?

I have a 38" MTD riding mower, and the engine is solid. However, the springs and belts are old. The blade hasn't been wanting to disengage. I hit a stick, and now it won't start. I think the idler pulley has locked up. Any ideas?

I hadn't been to the local Walmart in a long time. I stopped there for gas the other day, and there was a pump that said "Non Ethanol 93". It was only $2.49 compared to local places that sell 87 octane E0 for $2.99. I tried it in my chainsaw, and it's the real thing. Has anyone else seen it at...

I found an old Carquest that had just converted to Advance. They had lots of old product. I saw lots of pre-AAP CQ oil, and old gold PureOne filters. Should I grab them before they're gone?

It's a Purolator, probably a 14612. Not bad for a jobber.
