I just broke down and ordered Amsoil for everything that has an engine around the house. Is it OK to jump straight into extended drains on our cars? Both are mechanically sound, burn no oil, and run great. I'm wanting to run my wife's 03 Santa Fe on 1 year OCIs with the EAO filter. My Civic...

I have been running 5w-20 Syntec in my Civic. My main reason behind this is that I found out that the new (in 2006) R18A1 has "jets" that squirt the back of the piston with oil to help keep them cool and keep knock away, since it has a 10.5:1 compression ratio and runs 87 octane. I was scared...

I have searched for days, and can't find that anyone posted an exact answer, only speculations. I know that the HG 5w-20 is my by EM. Is it the same as Exxon Superflow or Mobil 5000/7500, or is it something else completely? I looked at the pictures of the HG bottle and it has the blue caps that...

I cut open the used Honda Filtech that I took off my car today. I was just curious what was on the inside. I liked what I saw, and will probably continue to use them since they aren't anymore than a Wix at the auto parts store. The end caps are very similar, and somewhat thicker, than the e-core...

I'm in desperate need to replace the worn out OEM tires that are on my 06 Civic. They are Bridgestone Turaza EL400-02 and the size is 205/55-16. Here in north Texas, I don't really need winter tires, so a good all season touring or performance tire will work the best for my situation. I have...

I did some searching, and I found most of my answer on the speed rating, but can't find anything on the load index questions I have. My Civic's OEM tires are shot and I'm looking at new tires. They are a 205/55-16 89H. Most of the tires in this size that I'm looking at are 205/55-16 91H or...

Since the total loss of my Sentra, I decided to purchase a '06 Civic EX fully loaded with Navigation. It has only 13,000 miles on the odometer. I'll let the other guy pay the drive off the lot depreciation this time (first "used" car since I was a kid). I'm very happy with it, drives nice, very...

Since the Nissan MaticD is very similar to the Dex III, will we be able to use Dex VI in a auto tranny calling for MaticD? Will the oil companies continue to make Dex III, or is Dex VI going to be backwards to cover all the previous Dex's? My manual says that I can use Dex III if MaticD isn't...

We have a 2003 Santa Fe that my wife recently wrecked. The AC condensor and radiator needed replaced from the damage. We took the car to the Hyundai dealer for the repairs (other peoples insurance was paying). The manual states to use regular green AF. When we got it back, it has a pink/red AF...
