I noticed that with my brake engaged that the car didn't stay put. I had to pull the brake even further for the parking brake to engage. Can I simply adjust the cable in the console or will I need to adjust the ebrake via the rear rotor? Hoping that I can simply adjust the cable under the...

I went for inspection a few days ago and my car failed due to corrosion on my rear rotors and my pads were 1/32. Struggling with what I should do. I was able to get 141k on my last rotors. I had two sets of pads on the rear brakes, but now I am debating getting aftermarket parts. Any...

Okay, put new tires on my 11 Camry, Michelin primacy. Well it took an hour to get installed, I looked over my rims prior to install. Everything seemed normal, no damage. Well picked up the car and went to the gas station. 4-6 inches around the rim is scrapped. No mention of the damage!!! What...

Ok I am a little frustrated, but not willing to give up. I have had an issue with consumption for the past few years. I have tried m1 hm, kept getting a check engine light with it. Thought it might have been still burning off causing the check engine light to go off. I changed it to Quaker...

Getting my tires replaced tomorrow. Which are better for a 03 Camry? The primacy is rated as an H and the goodyear is a v rating. Goodyear has the better warranty and is rated correctly as a v, but that was never really a thought concerning a "H" to "V". I have a set of hydroedges that have only...

Ok it'd time to change my manual transmission gear oil. I have 130k and it should be changed. I went to az and picked up some m1 ls 75w90 gl-5. I wasn't sure if this is the right product to change the oil to, does anyone have any recommendations? I read that gl-5 can be bad for manual...

It has been awhile since my last posting. I have an 03 Toyota Camry. It currently has 130,000 miles on it. It seems to consuming a quart per 1500 miles. At this point I am not sure if I should continue using pyb 5w30 or move on to a high mileage oil. Just looking for some ideas. I have an old...

Okay it's been awhile since I have posted BITOG website. My 2003 camry has a 127,000 miles on it. I didn't have any issues with my ac, but it did feel as cold as my new camry. So I bought a kit from wallyworld and decided to charge it. Pulled the gauge out checked the pressure, it seemed a...

I have done a lot of research on the board and have a couple questions about Mobil 1. I know that SOPUS products are excellent and I have always used it in my cars for the exception of GC one time. How would the use of M1 improve my car(if it would, I am not expecting an thing). Would it be...

Both of these oils seem as solid as any oil currently on the market. If you had to buy one, which one would you buy? I might pickup a case at some point to see how Havoline works out compared to the PYB. They seems like different beast, but similar results. Both outstanding, just looking for...

Ok tomorrow is my big day!!! Time for my oil change on my 03 camry. So what should I use? I have the following three oils: 1. PYB 2. Formula Shell 3. Maxlife Blend, all 5w30. I have 106,000 miles on my car and use a quarter to half a quart every 3,500 miles and I am going to use a toyota oil...

Okay, I have been doing a lot of reading and have considered using 0w20 in my 2003 camry. I am not sure why other then increasing fuel economy. Any thoughts, I am using PYB 5w30, I thinking about this since most 5w30's sheer down to a 20 weight anyways. I not sure at this point, is this a silly...

Any thoughts on Bridjit Curb Ramps. We might buy a few sections to save our cars front end. Let me know if its worth the 330 dollars it cost with shipping.

Okay, we have a new car. Free Maintenance for 2 years / 25k and my manual calls for 0w20 full synthetic oil. Great, but the manual calls for 10k oil changes and nothing about the normal and severe usage. I like changing my oil more frequently then running extended OCI. This seems extreme and...

I need some help, we are considering trading in our Honda Accord with 58,000 miles on it. It's in great shape and clean. The dealership went from 6,200 for a trade-in to 8,400. Is it worth trading in this car. I have the dealership at invoice for the car. I am not sure what to do. I love the...

Went to walmart tonight and saw a new Pennzoil conventional bottle with a new claim to clean up to 40 percent of sludge during the first oil change. New formula to meet the SN/GF5 ratings??? Or just more marketing.

Can someone explain how Boron is used in motor oil compared to moly? Example PYB went form having 100ppm moly and 0ppm boron to 0 moly and 100ppm boron. I know there is more to motor oil then this, but can someone explain this to me, wouldn't it be better to use both??? Just a question, I know...

Okay, so I bought a bunch of maxlife about two months ago for my toyota camry. I recently changed my oil from PP to PYB, I was considering running it in my camry. I don't have any problems with my engine, no leaks and currently no oil burn off. Not sure if I should run it or not. I have a couple...

I am not sure where to post this, but I wanted information on the fram sure drain plug. Reviews would be great. I don't want to install something that will cause failure or leaks from this item. Just a few comments on if it is a good investment would be great.

I just changed my oil tonight from PP 5w20 to MC5k 5w30. My car seems to have more peep tonight and runs a lot smoother. The PP seemed to make my car sluggish, but this 5k has a lot of peep. Any thoughts, will I notice a drop in fuel economy?
