Hi I have a 2006 VW Jetta 2.5L and am about to change the oil. I bought a 5 quart jug of 5W40. The vehicle takes around 6.5 quarts. I have a jug of 0W40 that has a little less that 2 quarts in it. Can I use it along with the 5W40 for the change?

I think this is a much better charger and has a better price...

anyone have the Viking 4 Amp from Harbor Freight...

thanks for all the replies and insights my wife and I must have bad luck with pot holes and or bumping curbs while parallel parking. Part of me thinks it would be worth it to get toe adjustments as needed.

if the toe is just on the edge and barley in spec will they bother to adjust it? I would like the toe set to the middle of the spec range.

Hi I am considering getting a lifetime wheel alignment for one or two of my vehicles. Any pros or cons or things to consider? I am in the San Francisco bay area and we have Firestone, Wheel Works and Big O that I believe offer Lifetime Alignments, maybe more.

Hello I am in the market for a battery charger for home use, our household has 4 vehicles. Are any of these recommended? https://www.amazon.com/s?k=battery+charger&i=automotive&crid=2CPEGY6MEK1R1&sprefix=battery+charger%2Cautomotive%2C267&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

for reference here is the operating instructions for my charger the model number is A6612 See section 9 on page 4

Thasnk for hte link The instructions in the link do not mention monitoring it while it is charging. I have the instructions for my particular model and it mentioned that when the current goes to half the initial charging current then it is charged. This is what my original question was about...

what do I monitor? The voltage or the current? And when do I turn it off?

Friday evening when I had the charger on I removed the charger when the voltage was 14.85V

so should I put the charger back on it?

I left it last night with the charger disconnected, the resting battery voltage was 12.7V, this morning I just checked and the resting voltage is 12.47V. So the resting voltage went down 0.13V. Is this normal? The vehicle is a 2021 RAV4 gas (non hybrid), with Start Stop so it has a EFB battery.

not sure the charger is Schauer model A6612 I just went out and measured the voltage of the charger with it not connected to the battery and it measured 13.1 V.

so before I connected the charger the battery resting voltage was 12.1V. I Connected the 4 amp charger and it was showing it was charging a little over 4 amps, at this time I measured the battery voltage (with the charger connected and it was about 12.9V. I continued to let it charge for a few...

Hello I found the positive battery cable terminal loose on my vehicle, I guess the shop that worked on it last didn't tighten it down all the way. I tightened the cable terminal and drove the car a good bit however want to put a battery charger on it. I have a 4 amp charger and the...

Discount Tire Direct becomes Tire Rack? Is this old news? Who bought who? Is this good or bad news for the average customer?

what I learned in the process, regardless which one is better, is that my car needs a EFB, I don't have an option.

O'Reilly's list like Walmarts list does not include a EFB

I just spoke with the Engineering dept at Interstate and learned that my battery is a H6 48 EFB The engineer told me not to put a AGM battery in it as it has a different charging profile and he also said that the EFB will be a much better value in the long run as it will last alot longer.
