Does Pennzoil Pureplus synthetic contain polyalphaolefins in the 5w20 and 5w30 grades? I know it's made from natural gas. Thanks.

I put my winter tires on 2 weeks ago, then realized they are 10 years old. They look great, still lots of tread, no cracks or other signs of problems, and they are stored in the garage and covered up so they don't get sunlight on them. But, 10 years I wonder if I should be using them. What do...

Folks: I have a new John Deere lawn tractor with a 2 cylinder Kawasaki engine. It's time for an oil change and am wondering if some Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 I have at home would be ok to use in this for the winter when I have my snow blower mounted to it. Thanks.

I've noticed the Oilguard looks just like the Racor filters. Are they the same? Do the elements interchange? Also, other than on-line, what shops sell the Racor in Canada, Ontario specifically? Thanks.

I bought a new tablet for the wife for Christmas today and am wondering about how to set up a wi-fi connection. I have an Ewire 2701HG-G 4 wire wired/wireless modem for my desktop with a wired ethernet DSL connection. I am hoping I can use this modem to run my tablet in a wireless mode and keep...

It's a MF35 with a 4 cylinder Continental gas engine. It has old style flat tappets, so I have to keep the camshaft from wiping out. Thanks.

My computer is running slow. Youtube videos are ok on the audio side but the video is like a series of stills instead of a movie. I have Canon Zoombrowser and I can't load pictures from my camera on it and there is a delay from every move I make to when something actally happens. I also get a...

My power steering pump in my 05 Explorer 4.6L V8 is starting to howl it's displeasure on a cold start at near zero temperature. It doesn't do it when warm. I thought I would change the fluid but the owners manual says to use Mercon ATF, but Ford now sells Mercon V as power steering fluid. It...

I have an old rebuilt Ford 302 flat tappet engine in a 1947 Ford truck. Question is, what oil to use? Today's oils are down on zddp and don't protect the old flat tappet camshafts very well. So what oils have what it takes to protect the camshafts? I don't really want to buy it on-line, would...

What refineries are Pennzoil Platinum, Ultra, and Quaker State Ultimate Durability synthetic oils made? Are they made in the same refinery, and are they basically the same oil? Is there a code on the bottle that says where they're made? Thanks.

Well I was in Wal mart today and they have their snow tires out. I don't need new ones but I looked them over as I went by, they looked decent, and noticed on the sticker "Made in China". Made mention of it to a guy looking at tires and he said "So what, as long as their good tires". Obviously...

I've been seeing a lot of commercials on Speed channel for G oil, a biodegradable motor oil. I read their web site but of course they are not going to give away too much info. It did say they were made from animal fats and plant oils. Does this sound like ester based oil? Anyone with more...

I'm looking at the possibility of installing a K&P cleanable filter. Anyone here use one? Experiences and opinions wanted, please.

Our local Walmart had PP on sale for $20 for a 4.73 liter jug, and after it ran out the display was filled with Quaker State Ultimate Durability synthetic at the same price for the same size jug. My question: Are these two oils the same, similar, or not alike, and are they made in the same...

Have been reading about stainless steel mesh oil filters. Claim to have low restriction, filter to about 30 microns, and are cleanable. I like the idea of just cleaning it reusing it. Good for the environment. Anyone here used them? What were your results? Thanks.

I have been trying to get a new memory stick to work in my HP pc with xp os. No matter what I do, the pc thinks it's a disc drive and asks for a disc. I can'even format it. Any ideas.

Our new Mazda 6 has 18" low profile tires. I put on 16" winters and the wife says it rides smoother. BFG winter slalom KSIs. Maybe I should go with higher profile tires for the summer, which means new wheels.

I was going to put pics and music from my computer on to a flash drive. I've never used one before. When I plugged it in for the 1st time, a message "found new hardware" came up, and it installed it it and then said it was ready to use. I went to copy a file to it and a message saying to insert...

I'm putting a new rad on an old tractor, a Massey Ferguson 35 with a gas engine. It has a 4 lbs pressure cap and an overflow that is just open ended. Would it be a good idea to make up an overflow bottle for it to keep out air, or not bother? I think it would be better for the system to not...

I installed AVG last year after having Norton and Spysweeper before, and have noticed that at first it pulled out a lot of cookies when it scanned and gradually got less over time. Now when it scans there isn't anything removed. I hope that means nothing got in to need removing. I do have the...
