Hey guys. I decided to check my Trans Fluid today after a highway drive, at idle on a level surface. When I pulled out the dipstick I noticed air bubbles on it. Is that bad? The level was fine and it's a 4000 mile fill of M1 fluid in a GM DEX III tranny. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.

Hey guys. Sorry to bring up a similar question but I was curious. Looks like next weekend is gunna be nice out so I plan to do a trans cooler line flush and refill. My car is a 94 Buick Century that I bought in July with 62k miles, I'm now up to just over 75k. The only known transmission...

Hey guys, I've got a strange problem. I've owned my car since July 06, it has 72K miles on it, purchased with 62K. The car is a '94 Buick Century Special with GM's 3100 engine. The problem started when it began to become cold outside. When warming the car up, if it was left to idle for > 1 min...

Hey. I've got a 1994 Buick Century with a 3100 engine. When I bought it the PCV was nonfunctional and caked w/ stuff. Also, the car was owned by a grandma before me and had 62K miles at the time, she's now fast approaching 70K. She also has a mean cold lifter tick that goes away after 30ish...

Hey. I was wondering if there was a limit to the suspension of crude that a motor oil can withstand. I'm wondering this because I recently did a motor flush (I know, tisktisk) and put in 1 qt of Rislone and 3.5 qt of ST 10w-30 with a ST e-core filter. The car has gone on a few 100+ mile...

I've got a minor knock and rough idle. I cleaned my TB today to find no improvement. I was wondering if I seafoamed or B12ed if it would ruin my plugs. They are only about 800miles old so they have a longtime till replacement. My car is carboned up and i'm looking to improve MPG and power...

Hey. I've marked my coolent reserve and after 30days and ~900mi its at close to the same level, prob within the acceptable surface change interval. So I've decided to do a coolent flush because the car is used and I don't know when it was last done. It uses green fluid. What i'm interested in...

Hey guys. I dropped the pan and changed out 6qt of fluid plus the filter today in my transmission, everything went smooth. I was just wondering if the fact that the fluid smelled diffrently was just fluke or has something important to tell me. The new stuff was very sharp and chemical. The...

The OC sticker I got on my car from my mech when I bought it was "Coastal" brand. Anyone have any experience with it? The only MSDS I can find is for a non-detergent oil...I highly doubt a garage would use that. http://hazard.com/msds/f2/byd/bydnl.html

Hey. A quick noobie question. I kinda figured I could just slide under the car to do an oil change...today I realized that'd prob unlikely. Anyway, i'm doing my 1st oil change on my dad's 1999 Buick Park Ave. What should I use to get it up, ramps or stands? I'm looking to spend less than $30...

Hey guys. I'm just toying with my car, trying to do some simple stuff as I'm trying to learn. Anyway I figured cleaning the throttle body would be low impact and semi-foolproof until I popped off this... http://img343.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1002351rf1.jpg...

Hi, I was searching around and somehow found my way here...very informational but now it's spurred me to have more questions, thus the post. Anyway long story short. I just got my first car from the mechanic three days ago and the vitals are... 1994 Buick Century 3.1L V6 63K miles One owner...
