I am changing oil on two cars, a 2008 civic and a 2009 mazda 3. On the civic I have been doing 5 month or 5,000 miles with dino but I have been only changing the filter every other oil change. Is this ok and does anyone think it might void the warranty or cause me to run into problems if there...

I have a 200K mazda protege that is starting to slip in cold weather. Transmission color is good and level is fine so I assume it's just starting to go. Does anyone think "bg atc plus" is a good additive to try just for the [censored] of it?

I'm having a hard to solve problem with a car that has intermittent surging at idle. It idles fine but ever 2-4 seconds (randomly) surges to about 1,000 rpm and drops right back down. All the standard tune-up stuff has been done. It occurs while in closed or open loop, no codes. the car is a...

I am about to do the first oil change on a 2008 honda civic. I am going to use a wix filter with either of the 3 oils in the topic. I am going to avoid synthetic and stay with dino. What would you guys recommend out of those three, they are all about the same price at wal-mart

I like in long island ny, and was wondering if 5w-30 would be ok year round. I use only maxlife in those cars but was worried about the...

This is for a brand new civic 08, this will be the first oil change after break-in oil. I am planning 5,000 mile intervals. At walmart castrol is 11$ and mobil one is 22$. Which do you guys think i should use or is there something inbetween that is worth it.

My mom just purchased a 2008 honda civic LX (1.8). It has an automatic oil detector and requires 5w-20. The breakin out is suppose to be in there until about 4600 miles. My plan is to change to mobil 1 5w-20 and change every 5000 miles ignoring the auto oil gauge on the car. I am curious if...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get some recommendations on what oil to use in my situation. My car is a 1991 Mazada protege 1.8 DOHC with 193,000 miles on it. The current oil it's been getting is castrol gtx 10w-30/5w(winter). I believe it has started to consume oil, maybe a quart every 3000 miles...
