    Saturn trans. fluid change

    These guys telling you not to service the trans are telling the same old wivestales over and over. Service that trans. If the trans is so bad that a fluid service can kill it the trans is already dead. I put 180K on a 700r4 transmission in a 1992 Camaro with one fluid change (pan drop and...

    Gas Boycott

    Please don't call the oil industry "big oil". That is as silly as "big tobacco". These are the terms of a leftist media to evoke feelings of class warfare so the sub 100 IQ masses can understand things that don't have laugh tracks.

    99 Accord leaks w/ Syn - what now??

    Used dino for 52K with no leaks. Switch to synthetic and the engine starts to leak. The most natural response would be to switch back to dino. At least at my house we tend to follow this method of diagnostics.

    My love/hate relationship with Walmart

    Every single business in the USA that makes money is "all about the profits". You guys keep talking about about how stupid people are at walmart and you guys aren't pulling ahead in the smarts race if you are entering and paying through the front of the store. Just a a little advice guys...

    Introduction:

    Don't get me wrong here fellas. I am questioning the testing process and the reason for the stated "problems" more than anything else. I think 15w-40 is a good choice for fleet use as well. I just dispute the info that engines are going south because 5/10w-30 is too thin. I buck the "thin is...

    OEM Nissan oil filters OK?

    The current nissan OEM filters do not have the silicon ADBV. At least the 65f00 and the 9e000 don't and I think that is what your engine uses. The filters do say made in Japan on them but unlike most people on here I don't see this as a stamp of quality in and of itself. Nissan has some of...

    3,000 miles,uses a qt.

    It seems to me that cars on M1 use more oil than others. I would switch to dino as you already have.

    Introduction:

    I'm sorry but his "testing" is flawed. How is his testing accurate at all when he is not doing analysis? I guess he can smell, feel, see, or taste the differences.

    200,000 Mi on my 97 camry so far!

    Fords of the pre-1994'ish are junk IMO but these newer v8 fords witht the modular engines are almost bullet proof. I never had any luck with a Ford until they dumped the 302 v8 for the 4.6 modular engine. In reference to trucks I like newer Fords and older Chevy's. I just find it very stupid...

    200,000 Mi on my 97 camry so far!

    Congrats on the mileage. My 1994 Ford Crown Victoria has 263K (original motor and trans) with just a few part replacements. If the auto trans holds up this car will see another 100K at least. Then again any car sold in the last 10-12 years in the US should see at least 200K miles with even...

    What is a good dino semi blend rear diff oil?

    The differentials on Toyotas must have some sort of problem if they need 10K mile changes with syn blend. My 1990 Silvarado 4x4 never had the diff fluid changed one single time in the 220K I put on the vehicle. Never had any problems either. Go figure.

    Introduction:

    Funny thing is I was a patrol officer for 5 years before I left the profession for greener pastures and we never had a problem using 5w-30, 10w-30, or 10w-40 in our fleet of 4.6l cars. Your climate is really no different than mine and we never had any problems. BTW, I called the fleet...

    engine knock and oil viscosity

    Are you calling valve clatter knock? If your engine "knocks" it is already damaged and won't hold on much longer. A noisy start and engine knock are not the same thing.

    Cool. Can we see it?

    Introduction:

    It sure would be cool if you could scan and post this page from the owner's manual because these motors are a OHC design and it is common knowledge in the crown vic community not to use the thicker oils on the 4.6 modular engine. Thanks in advance.

    03 chevy S-10 ZR2, what fluid?

    If you are on here asking these questions should you really be doing this project? You should really check the manual.

    new car pricing, is invoice really invoice?

    Yeah you mentioned about 1/10th of the back end juice bringing up financing. I guess this is as far as you got in two weeks.

    when to use SAE 30 HD?

    Could someone please fill me in as to when straight 30 would be the preferred oil in a typical car or light truck? Useage? Weather conditions? What possible advantage could 30hd have over Xw-30? I use it in my mowers just because the manuals say so but I am having a hard time finding an auto use.

    new car pricing, is invoice really invoice?

    I guess the terms may be regional. A flat is new to me but I was very familiar with the mini deal. Either name you call it it sure did suck.
