Just purchased a new 2021 Silverado with the 2.7 turbo. Truck now has 500 miles on it and when coming to a stop like at a red light the truck shuts down normally but when I lift my foot off the brake the truck restarts but also jerks violently forward without touching the gas pedal . I’m not a...

On vacation 1000 miles from home. 2019 Highlander Awd. 7/32 left on tires and I just see this. Any recommendations? Wasn't there yesterday.

Going over car I want to flush the coolant system and do not have the manual. Problem is coolant looks very rusty and cannot tell what is proper coolant to use. Car was manufactured in September of 2002. It looks like it may have the old green coolant in it but cannot tell due to the condition...

Need advice on brightest headlight bulbs for 2005 Dodge Ram. It has factory reflector headlights. I live in deer country and more light down the road is better. Truck takes a 9007 bulb (high/low beam in one bulb). Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Haven't posted in a long time. I have a new set of tires on my ram 2500, (LT265/70-17) and the front passenger side tire is developing cracks on sidewalk all the way around with only 300 miles on tire. They look like cracks in surface rubber only and about 1" from tread, rest of sidewall ok...

This doesn't make sense. On the pds for syn blend revised on 2/2/17 it states ** Dexos 1 but not including 5 quart jugs. Two formulas for two different sizes?

Have a 2010 Bayliner 175 with 3.0 GM engine with only 50 hours on it. The water pump on the engine just recently started to make an intermittent rubbing noise sounding like a bad bearing. No leakage from the pump. Just wondering if anyone has seen these pumps wearing out so fast. Don't know if I...

I need an opinion on what could be causing this. I changed the factory fill out at 26,000 miles when the differential started hopping around corners, (oil looked like silver paint)does not have clutches (the AAM 10.5" uses helical gears). Used what manual reccomended (syn 75w90 Mobil1) and was...

This is a Blackstone report (Castrol Edge 5w30) Comments Rob: Thanks for the note about the dark oil. It was fairly dark, but still looked pretty good as far as our tests are concerned. Silicon was the only element out of line, but this is mostly due to harmless sealers used when the engine was...

I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 with the Non MDS Hemi engine that has recently developed a loud ticking noise at cold startup (40,000 miles on truck). Noise goes away in about 30 seconds. This all began after the last oil change with Mobil1 0w20. Engine specs 5w20 in the hemi engine and it was...

My wife and myself just purchased a 2010 Chevy Traverse with a direct injected 3.6 L engine and would appreciate some oil reccomedations for this vehicle. Specs 5w30. Thanks.

Ok here it my problem. After all the oil rebates I took advantage of only one of my vehicles takes 5 quarts and I will be left with a few quarts of Pennzoil Platinumm, Mobil 1, Vavoline Syn, and Castrol Edge. What will happen if I use the all of the leftover oil in one oil change. This will be...

I own a 2008 Mercury Sable AWD that has no mention of the rear differential in the manual to ever check the gear oil let alone change it. Anyone have experience with this setup? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

At around 53000 miles back in January I checked the fluid on my wifes Sienna before a big road trip and the fluid was black. I did 3 drain and refills of the transmission with the reccomended T-IV fluid. Now with about 64000 miles on the van the fluid is almost black again and the transmission...

I have been reading these posts for a long time and really appreciated the amount of knowlege here. This is my first post. Recently we purchased a new Mercury Sable and I went to Walmart and purchased some Motorcraft 5w20 syn blend oil. After reading the label at home I noticed that it meets...

Need to know some opinions on what oil to use. Truck has 5000 miles on it and I will be towing a 7000 lb camper in the spring. Dodge says use only 5w-20 and right now I am using Mobil 1 5w-20 which seems to be doing OK. Is oil too thin for towing and would I be better off using a thicker weight?
