    Killing Mold

    A 10% solution is all you need. I would be more concerned about breathing in the mold spores. There are certain species of mold that can be toxic. A 10% bleach solution isn't going to "gas" you out either. Once you clean the area the main thing to do next is get the area dry. Mold will not grow...

    Oil never turns black

    Anyone have a car where the oil never turns black? My car has 75,000 miles and I change the oil between 5,800 - 6,500 miles using Pennzoil Ultra.

    ZAK Products - Cleaner & Fluid Conditioner

    The car is a Hyundai Genesis and this was done at a Hyundai dealership so I thought they would know if it was acceptable. This was a complete flush and from what I understand is they run the ZAK cleaner through the transmission and then flush it with 3 quarts of fresh transmission fluid to...
