    Amsoil Synthetic ATF mixed with Honda ATF

    Just one note, Dex 3 might not work for hondas from that era (it seems to be a hit or miss thing for honda). I have a 92 civic that has harsh shifting using Dex 3. Adding some HFM (to bring the fluid up to Z1 spec) seems to alleviate the problem. If you are already using Z1 and seeing this...

    1992 Honda Civic Auto - tranny fluid?

    427Z06, I am just wondering what fluid your friend ended up using and the result. I just picked up a 92 Civic auto myself and figured I can borrow on your friend's experiences. Thanks in advance.

    1992 Honda Civic Auto - tranny fluid?

    I looked through an updated version of the FSM (for 92-95 models) and it specs DexII or Honda Premium Fluid. I guess Honda did back spec the fluid requirement, although I don't know if Z1 is the same as the Premium fluid mentioned here. Anyone?

    1992 Honda Civic Auto - tranny fluid?

    Its spec'd for Dex II/III. I haven't heard about the back spec'ing part. Let me know if you need more information.

    fuel filler opening lid

    Just got the replacement spring from the dealership, was 5.40 + tax. I guess 5.40 for 8 years is not too bad. The part was pretty easy to replace, took me 15 secs to pop out the old piece and 15 secs to pop in the new one. Funny you should mention that, a few people were looking at me funny...

    fuel filler opening lid

    Dave H, thank you for the suggestion. lindermant, thank you for the link. Yesterday afternoon I spent a few minutes playing with it and what I eventually did was tie a piece of rope to opening latch/level, pull up on it, and play around with the fuel opening lid. It eventually open when I...

    fuel filler opening lid

    Hi everyone, I have a 98 camry that seems to have the fuel filler opening lid "stuck" in the closed position. I just filled it up yesterday and it opened fine then, but this morning when I tried to pop it open to add some FP60 (via the latch by the driver seat) it wouldn't open. Does anyone...

    Problem with GC

    What I usually do is get a piece of Scott shop towel (blue colored), fold the towel around the end of the dipstick with the oil and press down on both side of the towel. This allows the oil to be absorbed into the towl. Since the towel is blue, the part that absorbed the oil becomes darker than...

    SLOB at BigLots

    > Better get some while they're still available. That is so true. I've been stopping by the local BigLots and in place of SLOB and 75K+ they now have purple bottles of CD-2 Fuel System cleaner/additive. Someone's been making off with SLOB and 75k+. I do so hate competition... I wonder if...

    What cleaner to use for oil stains on concrete driveway?

    I should have clarified. I was thinking of the WD40 and/or cat litter method. I guess I'll give it a try since they're cheap.

    SLOB at BigLots

    My local Big Lots runs out two weeks after it gets a shipment so I am guessing there are people out there grabbing this stuff.

    What cleaner to use for oil stains on concrete driveway?

    would the same methods here work for blacktop or asphalt? The neighbor's leaker is leaving unsightly (massive) stains on the blacktop in front of my house and I would like to get rid of them. I am kinda surprised that the car still runs with it losing that much oil.

    Re-using PCV valve???

    So what is a good brand to get? Or should we just stick with the stealership?

    CD-2 75000 Plus

    I was just at the local Big Lots yesterday and it looks like they restocked the shelf with more Street Legal and 75k+. They seem to restock every month or two so I wouldn't be too worried about running out. That said, I now have 10 Street Legal bottles and 12 75k+. I am well-stocked for the next...

    incorrect gear ratio for 95 infiniti

    Guys, Thanks for the answers. I talk to my co-worker and he told me the full story. Turns out he was involved in an accident before. Apparently the outcome was that the second gear would not engage (it would just freely spin). The code started popping up at this time. His transmission shop...

    CD-2 75000 Plus

    well, here is what I got out of them. Seems like a pretty generic answer (basically throwing back what I tossed at them)... I guess I would be happy if it behaves similarly to the pink bottle. The level of each additive is unknown, so hopefully TallPaul is a little more successful in getting...

    CD-2 75000 Plus

    TallPaul, Did you get a reply yet? I am anxious to try this out but don't want to use it (or too much of it) if it is going to adversely affect the oil. On a side note, I went back to Big Lots last night and it looks like they re-stocked on the CD-2 stuff... In fact the whole shelf is full of...

    incorrect gear ratio for 95 infiniti

    My co-worker has a code for "incorrect gear ratio" for his 95 infiniti G20. He took it in to various transmission shops and they were unable get rid of the problem. Every time they clear the code, it comes back after a few days. Anyone have any ideas?

    CD-2 75000 Plus

    Saw this at the local Big-Lots when I was searching for the other CD-2 Street Legal add (pink bottle). Does anyone know whats in this? I can't seem to find any useful information from the Turtle Wax site. This goes for $1.50 at Big-Lots. - Converts conventional motor oil into High Mileage Oil...
