Since the car is pretty much new, you don't have to do much. Give it a good wash and use a clay bar on the surface if you feel any bumps on the paint. Then, I would use a good sealant, rather than a wax, to protect the paint. Benefits of sealants is that they last longer and provide a "shell" to...

WHere would the fuel filter be located on a 2002 Nissan Altima with the 2.5 liter engine??? My coworker has this type of car and he thinks his may be clogged. I did a quick search on google and haven't had any luck....

Well after reading all these posts its settled. M1 is just a noisy oil. Now, I never said it was bad. I have never done a UOA but when I take a peek inside my valvecover, it looks 'golden' and clean in there. Aside from the rattles, it served as my oil of choice from when my Civic had 30 miles...

M20 is good...Liquid Glass is better. Acrylic sealants may be 'old' technology but there's a reason LG is still on the shelves. I love my meguiar's but i have been testing LG and so far, I can't find flaws.....

Trust me, my hearing does not deceive me. I am kinda old (31) but I have the ears of a LION.....

HAHAHA that post was funny! Anyway, I started my car up this morning for my usual commute and sure enough, the motor sounds so much quieter. Someone here mentioned that maybe it's because of the Grp III switch but I doubt that since I have always heard the valvetrain noise for years. I bought my...

I changed the oil in my Honda a few hours ago. It has 92K miles and has been maintained with M1 synthetic for its entire life. I have always heard valvetrain noise. Specifically, I could hear my lifters clacking away when the car is idling. I always assumed I just needed to get them tightened...

Wow so it looks like i did make a good choice. I do not post here much but I am ALWAYS on this site reading at work. I still think M1 is good but ever since the Group III controversy I figured I needed to see what else was out there. So now here I sit, excited with the Havoline but sad because...

Great.. .Just when I thought I had found my next oil...Any ideas how much more it will cost? I got mine at walmart for 2.16 a qt.

I know there are some very knowledgeable people on here. I want to try something new in my 2000 Honda Civic. It's a 4cyliner NON vtec. I've always used M1 Synthetic and M1 EP for 5K mile OCI's. The car now has 95K miles. I am thinking of Havoline since it's made by Chevron and people seem to...
