    The Future of Auto Shops?

    Deer hunting starts soon

    Never really had the heart to hunt, but yesterday I saw somebody take a buck with a Pontiac as I was driving down the highway. It made it across the side of the highway I was on, but not so much on the other. I'm about 90% sure its rack exploded on impact.

    Throttle Plate sticking on 07 Focus

    I had the same problem when I bought my Accord (used). You did the same thing I did so it should be good to go now, as it was with my car.

    Honda and Amsoil

    How odd, considering my OM recommends 7.5k oil changes and a new filter every other oil change. This makes the change interval on the filter 15k.

    Pretty cold tonight

    I'm sitting outside in a t-shirt in Ohio right now if that tells you anything.

    Did you try a new oil and or filter this yr ?

    I tried Amsoil ASM 0w-20 with an Amsoil EaO filter. I consider it to be the best oil-related decision I've ever made. 7100 miles later it is still smooth as silk with effortless cold starts.

    Synpower overpriced at $25.00

    Honestly, I would probably purchase the Valvoline even if it were a few more dollars than the Mobil 1. I have just never been a fan of Mobil 1 but I have always had great faith in Valvoline products. Even with what some consider a "weak" additive package, it continues to produce excellent...

    Mechanic's Special

    I wonder if the additive package is more potent on these frankenblends due to it settling on the bottom of the bottles. Milking them would give it time to drain out. It would be interesting to see a VOA.

    Gary Allan

    Gary is a great guy with an abundance of knowledge backed by a kind heart. I hope he is ok and having a wonderful Christmas. Hopefully, he sees this thread and knows that even over the internet his great character shines through. I think there are more people than he realizes who value his...

    not impressed: K&N oil filter

    Did you try swapping the filter to see if the rattle would go away?

    hamster wheel lubrication

    I think you should try Amsoil SSO for those easy spin starts on cold mornings and longer OCIs. It may help resist "spin" off so that you can go longer without topping off.

    shell rotella t6 syn

    I can't really get very technical with you, but I can tell you that I recommended this to my buddy who had oil consumption and sludge problems in his 93 S10 and he absolutely loves it. It has the 4.3L in it. He says it turns over easily in this freezing cold weather and has never ran better, not...

    People who properly maintain cars

    I can't really throw out a percentage for you, so I'll go with "not enough".

    I Hate This

    I can't stand a lot of goofy things people do to their cars. I just try and ignore it. What gets me everytime is aircraft wings on the backs of Civics, etc.

    Why I don't like buying used cars and trucks.

    That's exactly why I bought my Accord 2 1/2 years ago from a dealership. I got a good price on it and I had service records dating from the first oil change all the way until the last one with the timing belt/ water pump 5k miles before I bought it from the same dealership that sold it new and...
