    Worst oil you have put in your car?

    Actually the body was quite nice. 2dr, 3spd on the floor. The whole drive train was shot. I thought the universal(s) would let loose before I got home. Yeah, I know, if I knew then what I know now. (427 4spd has a nice ring to it!) RP

Ran out of that and had to get more, prior to making it home. This was...

    Changed mine over on Tuesday. I have dedicated summer UHP tires on my STI. Seeing we've been having mornings around 32, the winter tires/wheels went on. Probably change back sometime in April. RP

    Weed Wacker maintenance on a Weed Eater?

    Mine started a little hard this spring. Then again it hadn't been started for 2 years. That said, it's 10 years old and hasn't been touched either. Need to put line on it this year. I always mix Sta-Bil in with my gas. Once started ran like a champ. RP

    Pre-charging filters - How important?

    My Subuaru has a turbo. Very easy to get to filter and it is threads up. Almost sounds dumb not to pre-fill! RP

    Quick way to educate people 3K OCI is a WASTE!

    Why then, did Subaru not extend, but shorten its recommended OCI's to (I believe, I don't have my letter) 3750 miles. I understand it's because of the turbo's but they've had turbocharged engines for ages? RP

    What`s the best highway/touring tires?

    My winter tire for my WRX. When my summer tires are replaced (next March) I'm going to try the ZR1's. Only trouble whith the HRi's, is that they seem to "squirm" compared to the Nitto 450's (the dealer had installed these and aftermarket wheels before they put it on the showroom). In defense of...
