My 2018 ford endeavour (basically a ranger but with a suv body) run around 72k miles / 115k kilometers suddenly threw a bunch of error codes related to park pilot, hill hold and esc, had the yellow esc warning light come on and the steering locked up, or rather became like an old fashioned non...

Hi, I just picked up a 2021 Honda City (1.5 NA iVtec engined CVT sedan), and see from the service records that the rear parking sensors were last replaced in September. Surprise, surprise, as of yesterday, putting the car in reverse makes the right side parking sensor start screaming, claiming...

Just picked up a 2021 Honda City which comes with a bs6 (sort of like euro 6, has emissions protection) 1.5 NA ivtec engine - the same decades old Honda ivtec but branded “earth dreams” thanks to getting emissions control features. Weird recommendations in the manual - api sm/sn or acea a5b5...

I rather suspect a clutch failure on a 2011 City (same torque converter as that generation of Civic / Fit etc). Gear shifting takes place and there are no errors but I can't accelerate over 40-50 kilometers an hour without significant effort, and mileage is about half of what it should be...

https://www.mobil.co.in/en-in/our-products/oil-lubricants/mobil-super-friction-fighter-5w30 Says it is for gas as well as diesel vehicles but I can’t see any sort of dual use spec The older version of this oil was specced ACEA A5/B5 but is now GF6A and API SP

Just saw this rather old but decently specced semi synthetic Castrol 15w40 - it is an a3b4 but they specifically brand it “diesel”, wonder why. Only the small print in the product data sheet says it works for gasoline engines as well which of course it does...

So, Ford recommends 5w30 A5/B5 for the Ford Endeavour (aka Ranger, with a 3.2 liter L5 diesel). I've seen recommendations suggesting HDEO 15w40 or 10w30 for 1. Hot weather (and right now it is 90 F in the shade at 8 AM India time) 2. Biodiesel (which is coming in India, besides rampant fuel...

Hi Ford recommends dot 4 LV (motorcraft pm-20) for my car (ford ranger variant in India, called the Endeavour) What I can find in parts stores is a Ford super dot 4 (ford branded not motorcraft) and assorted other brands of dot 4, dot 4 plus, super dot 4, just not dot 4 lv, for which the only...

So - for my ford endeavour (basically a ford ranger but 7 seat suv), here are two filters in the image. The first is a “Drive+” I picked up from a car parts chain (GSF car parts) in the UK and the second is OEM motorcraft. Seeing these - which would be “better”, more and thinner pleats like in...

So I just picked up a 2011 Honda City that runs a naturally aspirated 1.5 liter ivtec. The Honda dealership I serviced it at filled a 0w20 (their oem for oil is Idemitsu) and then told me it is due for its next oil change in 3 months / 5000 kilometers. My last Honda ivtec was over a decade back...

This is apparently a ball player who won the man of the match award in a football game of the Sudanese premier league, and got himself a jug of engine oil as the prize Probably do a bitoger football game and give similar prizes? Get pennzoil amsoil and such as sponsors :)

I have a 2012 Hyundai i10 (with the 1.2 liter kappa engine) that had its pressure control solenoid fail on me - even after I’d drained it last year and filled with a (don’t laugh, please) Liqui Moly atf fluid that said it supported Hyundai SP III. In any case that’s fixed and the mechanic said...

The orange is apparently compatible to Ford's WSS-M97B44-D2, as well as GM 6277M (dexcool) and ASTM D 3306. A while back I couldn't find it so filled one of those generic red "use for any car" coolants, Purolator's Puroguard. While I couldn't find a spec for it online and was in too much of a...

My Fiesta 1.5 diesel uses a paper cartridge filter - and I somewhat agree with this guy's rant about metal filters having stuff like drain back valves and such that paper filters just can't provide though they're so much cheaper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaV1wvTpHCs How much sense does...

Needs nothing except four oil changes a year, the man says. Bought it used for $75 when he was starting to work and still driving it after he's retired https://www.valleynewslive.com/content/news/Man-drives-75-pickup-to-work-for-38-years-504635912.html

Hi, I have a Scorpio with a 2.2 liter mHawk engine (straight 4 / bosch CRDI / vgt). Anyway, just before I bought it two months back, I saw that the service record for this vehicle showed a dipstick change under warranty. OK fine, cut O ring or similar was what I figured - but the newly changed...

I'd bought Amsoil brake fluid and gear lube for my cars - DOT4 brake fluid and a 75w90 API GL5 MT1 for the gear lube. For my 2nd car (the Fiesta) I ran short of both these by about a quart of gear lube and half a quart of brake fluid, so topped up the Amsoil with 1. 3/4th of a quart Shell...
