This the conventional super tech oil. My dad forgot to change the oil or even check it so when the sample was taken only about 2.3 quarts remained which is half the capacity. Would the low oil mean the wear metals aren't as high as they seem because they are more concentrated?

I'm looking at buying a 1998 Kawasaki KE100 enduro for about $450 with a missing title. The guy who is selling it only uses it off-road road so he doesn't register it. I would like to use it as a registered street motorcycle. I'm not completely sure how big of a deal it would be or how much it...

To change the front rotors on this car you must separate the two halves of the hub assembly. Doing this exposes the outside wheel bearing, I figure we should re-grease it because my dad wiped the grease off the outer race. What grease do we use? The grease that's in there is a clearish light...

I'm not sure how long its been like this but the brake peddle on my 97 Ford Escort sedan can be pushed to the floor in a panic stop or when pushing hard while standing still with the engine running. My dad and I just bled the brakes and I have the rear brakes adjusted perfectly so I know that's...

Ford is selecting 100 Americans to be the first to drive and showcase the 2011 Ford Fiesta here in the States. I'm only 20 so I can't enter, but I'd like to see a few forum members enter. Enter at FiestaMovement.com The car goes on sale in early 2010.

Here's the story: What I have on my 97 Escort are these struts valved just for the ZX2 S/R(only 2100 were build) to go with its Eibach springs. The ride with the orig was sloppy. But now with the S/R Ford Racing struts I put in 1.5yrs ago, the ride is somewhat harsh. My concern: I will I blow...

It's going to be about why CAFE standards are bad. It's only a 6 minute speech in my public speaking class, and only 5 of 14 of the students have heard of CAFE. Right now I'm thinking of arguing how CAFE is imposing undue burden on auto makers with the ever increasing stricter fleet average...

I've got a motorized bike like Pablo's and I bought two headlights that draw 55 watts a piece, that's about 9 amps total. My bike has a rack that supports 55lbs, so it can hold a rather large battery if needed. I'm looking to run both lights for about an hour on one 12v battery. I think I need...

The loss of two loves This happened about a mile away from my home so I though I would share this story. Sad to see the loss a classic air cooled car and resident of the same subdivision. The subdivision I live in is a 1 mile by 1/2 mile so I don't know him personally but we do share a love of...

I got the idea of using this type of China motor from Pablo. A few years ago I have been wanting a $500 bike motor kit from staton, but $165 for this kit felt like a better value. The bike is a Huffy with the fork and front wheel being from a Magna. This bike was a temporary build, the engine...

My Dad has a 2 ton AUSCO floor jack from the 1960s. AUSCO closed and started up under the name US Jack It leaks fluid out of the ram but I don't know who sells seals that would fit it. Does anyone know who sells the needed seals?

I had an alignment done last summer on my ford escort and the printout show the Left rear wheel has a toe of .18 inch. The specified range is -.03 to .13 inch. I thing the .18 means the front side of the wheel is pointing in 18/100 of an inch. The right rear has a toe of .01" so that side is...

What's a better use for my old tires because I want to get my grandpa's moneys worth. Reverse donuts and parking brake slides are the only ways I know to burn rubber. Could someone suggest another way that doesn't require more the 100hp or wreck my auto trans. Thanks

This is my first post and I'm so glad I can be apart of BITOG. My friend just bought a 1999 Chevy Suburban 4x4 1500. He's not much of a preventive maintenance person when it comes to his 6 vehicles, 4 of which are Suburbans (79,85,89,99). He doesn't even wash any of his trucks. I hope I can...
