I've got a 2010 Nissan Versa with about 3200 miles on it. Last week i noticed that the brake pedal was kind of hard when braking. In fact, when I would start the car with my foot on the pedal, nothing changed when the car started. No power assist kicked in. I was all set to run it by the dealer...

I read on BITOG all the time how bad it is on engines to drive short trips especially in colder months because the oil never heats up properly. I have a car that I use mainly back and forth to work which is about 4 miles each way. I know it barely gets up to operating temp and then its time to...

I'm looking for a link that someone posted on a thread on here this week. On the web page there are photos of bottles of oil from different manufacturers (Pennzoil, Havoline, Castrol, etc.) lined up across the page. Underneath each bottle is it's specs. Thanks.

I read on here about people recommending synthetic because it flows so much better in cold weather. Well, looking at Pennzoil Platinum, it's pour point is -39 (5W-30) and for Pennzoil conventional 5W-30 it's also -39. (This is the weight rec. for my car) I don't see any advantage to synthetic...

Anyone have one of those infomercial cookers. Another brand is Flavorwave. They cook faster than a microwave and are able to brown the food also. Looks interesting, but I wonder how they hold up.

Came across this article on car additives. I remember the infomercial on Prolong. I think they also had one where the valve covers were off an engine and they were spraying water on it as it ran. link

Read a lot of info on breaking in a new engine, some say run it hard, others say follow the manual. Any forum members care to share what they did, and looking back on those first months, would you have done things differently? Are you happy with how the car is running now? I currently have a new...

I've read on here the merits of full synthetic oil over conventional ie. good in high heat or extreme cold, and increased OCI. Ok, if someone decided to make the jump from conventional to synthetic, why would they stop at semi? As an example: Valvoline 5 qt jug of conventional on AZ's web site...

I have a new 2010 Nissan Versa. Nissan recommends 5W-30 oil. I live in Missouri where the winter temps are usually 20's, 30's, and 40's with a few 5 to 15 degree days. I know the cold weather pour-ability is better with synthetics vs. dino oil. Do I really need to worry about pour-ability in...
