The Gumout bottles recommend every 3,000 miles and not more that twice per OCI. So I use a bottle when my OLM is at like 55% and again when I'm a tank or two before an oil change. I think it's the over-cautious BITOGer who only uses it just before an oil change.

4 this week... Chuck Mangione died on Tuesday. :cry:

Pretty soon the kids won't understand Rosco P. Coltrane's insulting nickname for Enos. That's the real shame in this.

The torque converter stopped locking up on my 2013 Sorento last fall. Local trans shop didn't just give me the "go away" price, he literally told me to go away lol. So I was able to source a used transmission on https://reman-transmission.com/ for under a grand, and my regular indy shop...

I liked it because I got 54 quarts of it for $2.13/qt when it was on closeout back in 2020. Finally used the last of it a year ago, now I'm going through the SuperTech FS 12 quart garage boxes I picked up for about the same price per quart. My vehicles don't know the difference.

If those 3 year old tires were stored indoors and out of UV light, they are as good as they were on day 1.

Every GM I've owned had cold and durable AC. I owned a 1992 Subaru Legacy for a while, that AC worked fine but you had to choose AC or driving. That little motor really struggled to move the car and power the AC simultaneously.

It may have helped our old Volvo S70with the small oil consumption problem it had. But it would not have helped the head gasket, suspension parts, cat, and everything else it needed when I finally donated it to the public radio station. Still got 21 years and 277k miles of service out of her...

Unused? Stored indoors? Very much the same as factory fresh.

The VRP in the sump of my wife's Volvo went to Canada over Memorial Day weekend. Good to know it was still able to do it's job while there :ROFLMAO:

My new thermostat and rear ABS sensor just arrived today...

If it's like my Kia (and it probably is) I had to put on jackstands. I also had to put 2 or 3 feet of tubing on a funnel to direct the new fluid into the transmission, and have one of my kids underneath to tell me when it started flowing out the side plug to know it was full.

Could be just a guest house. Maybe the big house is next door, or the other side of the camp road?

in six weeks you'll probably be able to take a nice deep breath without much pain. Good luck!

It's a Pirsche, one of those knock-offs you can get in Chintown 😉

Not a big problem for me. I seldom have both my phone and readers on me at the same time. The struggle is real lol

Be VERY CAREFUL when mixing cleaning solutions, you don't want to find yourself in a cloud of chlorine gas....

My wife's S60 has been drinking oil for the past year. So this weekend I bought 2 jugs of Valvoline R&P and I have my fingers crossed...

Maybe that is why I was able to pick it up used less than 2 years and under 20k miles. :unsure:

I have the 6L90 in my Sierra, and it will flare every time I start the engine and drive forward without reversing first. Been doing this ever since I bought it with 18k miles on it. (127k now) Doesn't matter if the engine was off 30 seconds or 30 days. I just do my best to park where I need...
