What make of car is it? On Honda's you check the ATF with the engine not running.

The cap on the brake fluid reservoir is vented to allow the fluid to expand and contract without creating a vacuum or causing pressure. The rubber diaphragm helps keep out any dust or moisture.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I'll just skip cranking the engine until the grass needs mowed again.

No it is an air cooled engine. I leave a Battery Tender attached to the battery thru the winter.

I have a Cub Cadet with a Kawasaki twin cylinder engine. I was wondering if it would be beneficial to peridically crank the engine until the oil pressure builds up during winter storage? I have installed an aftermarket oil pressure gauge. I was thinking about pulling the spark plug wires and...

I didn't notice if the oil I used during that OCI was SL or SM. I am not adding the Berryman B12 during this OCI. I will continue to use the LC and FP. I will get another analysis ran when the oil has a little over 5,000 miles on it. That way the mileage on the two OCI's will be real close.

Should I continue to use the FP and LC?

I just ran the first UOA on our 99 V6 Accord and it shows high lead results. I got the bright idea to clean the injectors and fuel system so I ran two full tanks of fuel adding Chemtool B12 fuel additive at about 2 to 3,000 into this OCI. I then read on BITOG on how LC20 and FP60 really did...

I have a Kawasaki FH430V 15 Hp 2 cylinder engine in my Cub Cadet lawn mower. I would like to add an oil pressure gauge but cannot find any information on this engines normal oil pressure range. I checked on www.kawpower.com and on the internet. There is no information on oil pressure in the...

My 93 Mitsui Galant owners manual calls for Mitsu Diamond atf SP fluid. Is atf fluid that shows it replaces Diamond SP2 and SP3 safe to use? The spec sheet on Castrol's multivhehicle atf shows it replaces SP2 and SP3. Or must I buy the atf from Mitsubishi?

Would it be beneficial to a four stroke engine to run synthetic 2 cycle oil at a 100:1 mix? Wouldn't this help lubricate the cylinder walls and upper end? Is there a downside to using the 2 cycle oil? I have both Poulan and Mobil 2T synthetic oil. It seems my 2 cycle engines run better on the...

I was just wondering about using the 2 cycle oil as I use my push mower with a 4 hp Tecumseh engine on a small bank near our road. I just want to make sure it is getting enough lubrication.

We have a 99 V6 Accord with 91K on it. I have been using 5w-30 Mobil 1 synthetic and Pure One oil filters for the last 40-50k with 5k OCI. Honda originally specified 5w-30 wt.oil, now they have changed to specifying 5w-20 for this engine. Should I stick with the 5w-30 or start using the 5w-20...

I drained the automatic transmission in my 02 Tacoma V6 4wd and had at least 4 qts of ATF come out.

Allow your engine and transmission to completly cool down. Have someone set in your car with their foot on the brake and have the parking brake set! They can start the car and put it in drive. While they are doing this, feel each of the hard lines from the transmission and see which one gets hot...
