About 101,000 miles on my 2012 Chevy Cruze 1.4T, I took ownership at 50k miles and didn't see any service records of a transmission service, so assuming this is the FF but can't be 100% sure. I did two drain and fills on it the same day after I secured the sample , about 9 new quarts mixed in...

Thinking about buying a snow Shovel before they go out of stock, I'm pretty sure I'll need one, are there any hidden gems that I need to know about? I appreciate a quality product that isn't going to break but also don't want to over pay This looked kind of interesting but it always seems you...

Are there any part number wizards that can help me find a part number for the blade drive belt for my old riding mower? I have tried looking all over but can't seem to find it myself. I even downloaded the manual from a sketchy website and don't see it in there. It's a craftsman 917.280330...

Looking for recommendations for a pair of PAR-38 outdoor flood light bulbs. One of the cheap ones that came with my house already burnt out, maybe looking at getting led to save power but the ones I'm seeing on Amazon have crazy mixed reviews. The Philips look okay if I just go with standard...

Anyone know where to find serial number or any identifying information about this so I can get replacement parts for it? I don't see anything outwardly visible and when looking up owners manuals there's a bunch of different ones based on serial number. Also if anyone has any secrets for...

Looking for recommendations for a weed eater. I think I want a gas one. How much do you really need to spend to get a high quality one? Is this one any good?

So my yard was recently leveled and seeded bare dirt with seed and straw and it's coming in kind of patchy. Is there any product I should be using to maximize full coverage or just in general for quality?

13,000 miles on my first run of Amsoil signature series ASL 5w30 in my trifecta tuned cruze 1.4T, I did have a can of liqui moly motor oil saver in this fill, which worked great for my small seep and explains part of the viscosity deviation that I didn't mention to the lab . Ran pretty hard with...

So I got a new deck and they said it needs to be stained to protect the wood, anyone have any recommendations or advice?

Haven't posted in awhile, but I don't think Tom has shared this here yet. I helped him get these samples from a local gas station that I found and sure enough sketchy as the label indicates. https://pqia.org/2021/01/27/pqia-issues-consumer-alerts-on-q-motor-oils-recently-tested/

Curious how many people use their phones/tablet for accessing the forum verses people that only use desktop?

A couple of things done to my Cruze, installed the aftermarket pcv relocation kit and made a hose to replace the fragile corrugated vacuum line that goes from the turbo to the engine. Also had to put a new valve cover on because when the PCV fails inside the intake manifold it pops the diaphragm...

I decided for the first time since I can remember to let someone else change my oil. The buick century is getting towards the end of its life and I'm caring less about making sure it's only me touching her fluids and just wanted it to be done. I took it to a place called Take 5 oil change. I...

Pulled the cabin filter, of course it's oem, dated 2011. Currently running filter less, the air flow was quite restricted.

I am noticing that my winter washer fluid seems to stink at cleaning gunk off the windshield even though it's in the 50-70F range , am I the only one seeing this, because I bought 5 jugs of -30F fluid on clearance for 50 cents per jug but it's not cleaning so well. Does anyone else save it for...

So I bought the 2012 Cruze 1.4T used from a Ford dealer with 51k on it, apparently they took it on trade that day and didn't even have time to inspect it, so I buy it and the next day I saw the coolant leak and called them and they said they would fix it. Well I got it back today after they...

https://www.trifectaperformance.com/foru...urbo-advantage/ I just happened to stumble across this while reading another thread about premium gas in the 1.4T and it looks intriguing to say the least... $300 ain't bad.

I need to decide on what oil I'm going to be using in my 1.4T cruze. Currently it's at 52k on the odometer. I am not only trying to decide which one but also if I should deviate from the manufacturer viscosity recommended 5w30 or 0w30 in extreme cold is allowed. So far I'm wanting to use...

I am trying to figure out which oil filter I will like the most for my cruze 1.4. I ordered a Mahle OX401D off Amazon already so I have one of them, it's made in the USA though and if memory serves correct the better Mahle filters are always made in Germany? It looks like this might be the oem...

So my first issue popped up with the new cruze already. It's not huge but it's something I noticed. There's a damp spot on an oil line next to the oil fill cap. It's not dripping or anything but it's wet all around and when I tried to fuss with the metal clip that looked loose it made it lose a...
