I think after doing some research I'm going to go with AC Delco rotors. Being that this is an older car, daily driver, average less than 10k per year. Should I go with the AC Delco Advantage or Professional line? Its about $10-$15 per each rotor. I'm still trying to decide on pads... so many...

Thank you for all the replies and suggestions.

Need some help choosing a new brake and rotor set for my 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix, 3.1L V6, 4dr sedan. I've looked on RockAuto and can get drilled rotors with ceramic brakes for about $140 shipped (Power Stop - model # K1498 Power Stop rotor/brake kit ) . Is this going overboard for this daily...

Hello, I recently acquired a 1994 Pontiac Grand Prix SE 3.1L, with 109,000 original miles on it. It's been sitting for a little over a year. We have taken it to the mechanic and replaced a few belts and parts. We've put about 1000 miles on it so far, and is on its second oil change, soon to do...

Recently I have been researching the different benefits of oil weights and have read some posts that it is ok to run 5w20 with this older card? Currently the car has 129k and uses very little oil. Sometimes it might use a 1/2 quart every 3000 oci. I have also been looking at switching to a High...

Hey guys... I just stopped into my local Walmart and was checking out oil (I hate this addiction ). They have coupons hanging off all the Pennzoil products. 1. Pennzoil Ultimate $5 off! 2. Pennzoil Platinum $5 off! 3. Pennzoil High Mileage $3 off! 4. Pennzoil $1 off! I just had to pick me up...

My shuttering started after about 60 miles. It could be a high pressure line on the transmission. Only true way to tell is to take it to a transmission shop or some mechanic and see if they can run a diagnostic check on it. Sometimes a warning light wont come on. I did some further research on...

I just went through this same issue with my car. I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Galant and it requires SPii or the new SPiii. I looked all over for this stuff. The closet Mitsubishi dealer is 200 miles away. So, I went to my local Wally World and picked up their Super Tech Multi Purpose After a few...

Not sure if I have a Aisian Warner transmission or not. What I do know is that the model # is F4A51. Additionally, I might add that a day ago I changed my oil on this car and went to a PureOne filter with HM Pennzoil 10w30. I dont think this would have contributed to this issue, but then again...

Recently I did a drain a refill on my 2000 Mitsubishi Galant ES V6. I replaced the ATF with Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF. I know my car call for Diamond ATF SPII or SPIII, but it's difficult to come by in my area and the Mobil 1 ATF Synthetic stated that it covered Diamond SP II and SP III. It's been...
