I've seen that many people like to use engine assembly lube for ratchets. I was wondering if anyone has tried the new Amsoil assembly lube for this application?

Is there an Amsoil product suitable for use as hydraulic jack oil? I have an air over hydraulic and a few bottle jacks. I was thinking maybe AMSOIL Synthetic Tractor Hydraulic/Transmission Oil (ATH)?

So I noticed the oil pressure gauge on my '94 Subaru Legacy seemed to be reading low. After I replaced the oil filter, the problem went away. It was taking about four seconds after startup for the oil pressure light to go off, then the oil pressure would very slowly rise. But it would never go...

Hello, I've been running Zerex G-05 in my 2000, 1996, and 1994 Subaru's for years. I see in recent years Zerex has come out with an Asian formulation. I'm wondering if I should switch to this Asian formula or just stick with the G-05? These older soobs all use Subaru's traditional coolant (not...

Hello, I've been running 75w140 GL-5 gear oil in my Subaru front and rear differentials for a few years. It's time to change out the oil, and I'm wondering if I should stick with the 75w140, or maybe go with 75w110 or even 75w90? The owner's manuals spec 80w90 for the front diff and 75w90 for...

Hi, I searched a bit but didn't see anything about it.... Does LC20 contain friction modifiers or anything that would make it unsuitable for a motorcycle with wet clutch? I'm prepping for storage and would like to put some LC20 into the oil. Bike is a 2007 Honda Interceptor VFR800 ABS. Thanks.

Hi. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced problems with the gold colored electric aux drive clutch on the Cub Cadets rotating and ripping off the clutch power wires. My dad got a Cub Cadet lawn tractor last year. I forget the model but I think it has about a 22hp engine. Anyway he said...

Hello, seeking a suitable aftermarket coolant for my Subaru's. Subuaru says "only a phosphate, non-amine coolant formula is acceptable". Here's the article It appears G-05 might be the closest aftermarket choice? A few questions: a. Why the difference between Zerex G-05 concentrate and...

Trying to organize assorted brass and other hose barb fittings, nuts, bolts, etc., with these bins that were on sale at Harbor Freight. Need to get more bins. Previously all this stuff was just packed in boxes which made it impossible to find the part I was looking for.

Hi all, I have some Baldwin additive free coolant filters and was about to install one in bypass on my '00 subaru 2.5L, but was wondering if it would filter out the stop leak/coolant additive? This engine has a TSB out for external head gasket leaks and subaru wants you to put in this 'coolant...

Hello, is it necessary to uncork maintenance type batteries when charging? I always figure why, when the alternator charges the thing and you don't uncork it then, but my dad always said to uncork it when charging. Anyway today we were charging one and after a while it started bubbling around...

Hello, have a '99 Max IV ATV that calls for a lithium based grease for each of 6 outside + 6 inside wheel bearings. So me thinking lithium grease has to be white just bought and installed this CRC Super White grease at NAPA, but looking at the specs on the CRC website after reading things like...

allelectronics.com I bought some nice 4" or so dia. donut neo magnets for pretty cheap. Have to be careful with them, they have a tendancy to suck tools on to them, etc. If two get stuck together it's a job to separate them. They fit nearly perfectly on the end of common oil filters.

anyone have joke to go with the punch line 'just trying to shave a few bucks'? You know, like shave (save) a few bucks (dollars) vs. shave a few bucks (them deer wit that antlers) I'm sorry Officer; I was just trying to shave a few bucks! I hope this isn't too lame!

Dudes, I am assuming this error on my 4 drive striping/mirror array is bad??? I think this happened once before last year and I was able to rebuild the array without replacing the drive, but the nVidia prompts had me worried all along the way that I was going to blow up my computer. :/

Hello, taking advantage of the long weekend to adjust the valve lash on my 2000 Subaru Outback 2.5L 4 cyl (non-turbo). I few questions came up while doing the job (got the right-hand cylinders done today). First, the engine has 105k miles on it; don't know if the valve lash was checked before...

I took a peak under the car (2000 Subaru Outback) last night and noted that the front stabilizer bar (I think that's what it is) has sheared off on the driver's side at the frame mount/bushing. How critical is this stabilizer bar? Can I drive with it like that for a couple weeks until I have a...

I just changed the spark plugs on my recently purchased used 2000 Subaru Outback 2.5L gasoline 4-cyl, 100k miles. This is the first spark plug change I've done since purchasing the used vehicle. Whilst changing the spark plugs, I noted some amount of engine oil around what I believe are the...

I guess the only difference in going longer between adding it is that more junk will build up between doses. I add a little with every fillup as maintenance. I'm pretty sure the RedLine SI bottle says it can be done that way. It's sort of like making your own super detergent gasoline.
