Just picked up a lightly used KTM 1190 Adventure. I changed the oil right away, along with all the other fluids. I went along with the user manual recommendation of using Motorex oil 10W-50. Decided I better do some research here, and I’m finding out that it’s not a very good oil. So what are...

Hi everyone. Wife drives a 2006 Nissan Xterra. It has recently hit 80k miles. As you can see, it sits most days, and gets used for short trips in town, and occasional but rare 3 hour trip to to visit friends out of town. She is currently looking for a job at the moment that could bring it online...

Can someone recommend a really good oil for the front and rear limited slip diff and also for the transfer case on my Ram 1500? 75w-140 rear 75w-90 front. Transfer case (NV243) calls for atf+4. Looking, or should I say, dreaming for something that might show some efficiency gains in mpg. My...

I have a new 2011 Ram 1500 with the Hemi. I have a weird anal retentive breakin oil change deal so please excuse me. It had its oil changed at 250 miles with PYB, and I am coming up on 1,000 miles pretty quickly. I was planning on changing the oil again and letting it roll to 4,000 miles before...

I just bought a brand new Dodge Ram 1500 with the Hemi. I have to return to the dealer to have some accessories installed tomorrow. The dealer is 70 miles away, and I get one free oil change from them too. With almost 300 miles on the truck by the time I arrive there tomorrow, would that be too...

My 1992 Geo Prizm (Toyota Corolla) with 249k miles on it has a 13.5 gallong fuel tank. I added 3oz of MMO during may last fill up at Kroger (sorry, but the 10 cent discount seals the deal). MPG before: 33.7 MPG with MMO: 36.8 The only two things I did in the middle of this last tank is add...

My Geo Prizm has 249k miles on it now. Under the valve cover looked fairly normal, just the usual varnich, light gold/tan. I just changed the oil this past weekend with Pennzoil High Mileage. Would it hurt to add some MMO to the crankcase for this OCI? I know it woul start cleaning, etc, but...

I used to buy this stuff at Autozone whenever I need it. I need it now, and Autozone or the rest of the chains don't stock it on their shelves anymore. But they do have the water wetter, duh! Is there a chemical in this that the tree huggers don't like that is keeping everyone from stocking...

and the tops of the pistons still look like my BBQ grill. I poured the whole can slowly down the intake while the car was idling at running temp. It took 6 miles for the car to quit smoking with me driving it like I stole it. It poured smoke so bad that on-coming traffic was hitting the brakes...

Is the rebate good on the 5 quart jugs at Walmart that are on sale?

I just bought a Geo Prizm with 248k miles on it. It is a Toyota Corolla for those who may not know. It has the Toyota 4AFE engine in it. It does not smoke, etc. There is oil loss, but I believe that is from the crank seal which will be fixed when the timing belt gets replaced. The last 100k...

I just purchased a 1992 Geo Prizm 3 speed automatic car with 248k miles for $500 as a daily commuter for carpool for 5 days every 3rd week. This car is just a Toyota Corolla with Geo badges. The car runs great! Does not use oil, runs strong, quiet like a sewing machine, etc., it just leaks oil...

I recently moved further south. I have a 94 Z28 with the 350 LT1 and 86,000 miles. This car has had Mobil 1 5w-30 from the time I got it at 24k miles. Lots of mods have been done to the car, along with a 3200 stall converter-just so you all know it revs to there almost everytime. Its getting...

Where, and what brand drain plug kit do I need to get for a 02 Dodge Grand Caravan's transmission pan? I am about to drop the pan and just change the fluid and filter myself instead of the dealer doing it for me. Thought it would be nice to add a drain plug while the pan is off, as long as it...

Called the Dodge dealer about having my wifes 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan in for a transmission fluid change. Two options, pull the pan, change the filter and replace the fluid that was drained. Or, do a flush, no filter, pan not pulled of course. <- Are they crazy? No filter change? Is this...
