    2018 Yamaha XMAX 300cc Scooter

    I've had several Suzuki 400's, couple Yam 400's, all scooters, and for the final drive unit, they called for motor oil. I used synthetic 10-40. I'd say you would be fine with 10-30.

    2020 Kia Soul EX

    Local Kia dealer uses Total semi-syn for their $39 oil/filter change. Full Syn costs a bit more, not sure of price.

    Nissan Cube No Oil on Dipstick

    4 Qts added and it showed only 1/4 inch on dipstick. The motor was obviously cruded up so maybe it took a long time to drain down. Anyhow, she went on her way with only 4 qts added.............

    Nissan Cube No Oil on Dipstick

    Recently came out of Dollar General and a lady parked next to me was lifting the hood on her Nissan Cube. I asked if I could help and she said her red oil light was on. I checked the dipstick, which had dark brown oil burnt on it, and it showed nothing. We added a quart of DG 5-30 SN; still...

    Hot pepper/pepper sauces

    Texas Pete is a staple and made here in N.C. I like that it doesn't burn your butt off.

    TW Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Wax Over A Cleaner Wax ?

    Chris, I don't know what Meg's wax is, but I've used, interchangeably, about every spray "wax" or "cleaner wax" or "ceramic" that Walmart sells on my 14 Accord and it never failed to bead like crazy. Try a section and see how it goes. If ok, then finish the rest of the car.

    When to do oil change on 2019 Accord with 1700 miles.

    Doesn't the oil filter catch all those loose particles?

    Can a Roadforce Balance tell if tire or wheel is bad?

    AFAIK, a Roadforce with knowledgeable operator can tell if tire or wheel is out of round. Have you rotated the wheels and it still does that?

    Searching for a classic/vintage bike. Help me pick one

    Had a '75 boxer; it hauled my wife and I with luggage piled all over it on several long trip. Good strong machine with all the parts hanging out where you can get at them if needed. Points adjustments and plugs was all I ever had to do. Also had '76 Norton.........gawd, was that a nice...

    Is this VW 508.00 a Mobil product?

    Haven't done an oil/filter change in a long time that was as easy and actually as fun as the Q3 Audi. The idea of using an extractor somehow just seemed wrong, until I found that the dealer did the same. No drips, not even from the canister filter. if oil prices get down lower I'll prob do it...

    Is this VW 508.00 a Mobil product?

    Darn right; suck that thin watery green stuff right out and get some Castrol. After all, the fill cap on my '20 Q3 clearly says "Use Castrol". Now, if Mobil 1 wants to send me a proper fill cap, I'll leave their stuff in!;)

    Is this VW 508.00 a Mobil product?

    Good to know; I put 6 qts in my Audi yesterday thinking it was made by Castrol. What does it cost at dealers? I bought mine from ESC.

    Which scooter to choose

    Don't know anything about the Kymco, but have had two Majesty's....fine motors, run interstate speeds easily. I never put that many miles on one so not sure how long the CVT's last; however, a friend with a Suz 400 was up near 100K before having his rebuilt. If you are mechanical, or know...

    Another oil change by time or mileage question

    I'd leave it in for more than a year or two or three.................

    Toilet shopping - regular vs pressure-assist

    Take a look at a Jacuzzi two button push type at Lowes. Under $200 year and half ago and its never failed to flush everything down. One piece, looks nice. Highly recommend it.
