I remember this from years ago, saw somebody post it on another forum today. (Yes, I know it's supposed to be LeSabre)

Believe this was the original filter. Car is garage kept, driven about 3 miles a day. Replaced with Carquest 479954, which turned out to be a private label MANN filter anyways.

Seriously, I want some of whatever this guy is smoking! https://www.ebay.com/itm/324807276342?hash=item4ba005b736:g:xZsAAOSwu6FhU7oZ

During my oil change today it occurred to me I ought to check the air filter. Purolator A35192 which I think I put in there in mid-2017. Maybe somebody can decipher the date code. (see attached photos. I tried to insert the images here but the mobile site is impossibly difficult to work with on...

Long post with some background, but maybe it’ll help someone. I wish somebody had explained it to me; I had to figure it out. A common issue with the Jaguar XJ-S is a misaligned steering wheel or an off-center steering rack following replacement of the rack. Some people notice this when making...

If you own a 2019+ Ford product then it likely has FordPass, an integrated telematics system which allows you to start the engine from your phone but also does questionable things such as reporting to Ford your current location, odometer reading, even oil life and how much fuel is in the tank...

The owner’s manual which came with the car new said 4.3 qts. When the engine was replaced under warranty, the dealer gave me a new owners manual, Printing 2 for 2019. It states 5.0 quarts. When I got the car back with the new engine it was about an inch over full on the dipstick. I called the...

One of my kumhos has decided to separate and the remaining two Hankooks from my last set are down to about 3/32” so I think it’s time for a set of four. My only hard requirement is that they are American made; but I would like the best treadwear ratings and overall quality for the price. I’m...

Work was performed at Precision Dent Removal in Tallahassee, Florida. Before: After: Dent was over 2.5” deep at the worst point. There was a lot of stretch and frankly I’m surprised it came out as well as it did. The paint did crack slightly at the point of impact which shows up as...

I’m coming up on my 10k interval and will be there by the end of the week. I’m going to use a FRAM Ultra and leave the filter in place for two oil changes to cut down on dumping oil on the starter (way to go, Ford). Plus it’s just a pain to reach in there. Even with the new F-150 I’ll still be...

For a PH3614 / FL-910 application. I was disappointed with these, they do look to be Wix made but are from China. Will still use them, I have three riding mowers which use this filter and a few cars I routinely service take them as well. Once I get some used filters from this batch they will go...

Just got a few of these from RA and this build is Purolator... code is '120919DG' Fits GM 3.8L V6 Likely the same as a red can... a good buy for less than $1.50. Will run these with confidence and when/if any return I will send them to @53' Stude for dissection. What I find amusing is the...

Sure, swirl marks and all that, I expect that from an automatic wash. But not the side of my bed caved in. Oasis Express Wash on W. Tennessee St. (US 90) in Tallahassee, Fla. Going through the last set of brushes and WHAM, felt like a truck hit me in the left rear. Roll out of the wash to find...

Or why I'm shopping for tire equipment. My shop is in a town of about 1500 people. There is a tire shop (more of a service station) at the corner, has been here since long before I was born. I knew the orignal owner well before he retired. Since we didn't have enough people to support two tire...

Among my favorites are Deep Purple - Made in Japan and the Allman Brothers at Fillmore East But this one takes it, by a large margin...

I have an '87 XJ-S V12 which will be needing a set of tires soon. Currently has some sort of Bridgestones which are 13 years old and are badly flat spotted. Initially I was going to get a set of BFG Radial T/As but then the high pressure power steering hose ruptured and gave me some time to...

Preferably a 3-door hatchback, 1.0/5-speed, ideally no airbags though I don't know what year they started putting them in. There's almost always one or two for sale on the local Craigslist but they're beat to pieces. Older machinist friend of mine has a '92, had it since it was nearly new. He...

Are these still made by Johnson Controls? Longevity sure isn’t what it used to be. Last night the MT-59 in my Ranger bit the dust. It had 22 months in service. I drove down to Pedro for work last night; truck started fine when I was leaving the house but I stopped for gas after 40 minutes on...

Just acquired a 2019 F-150 XL with the 5.0/10-speed setup. Previous owner bought it new and never drove it due to medical issues. It sat under a carport for almost two years. I'm planning to change the oil and flush the brake fluid, check all other fluids, make sure the engine and cabin air...

I forgot to take ‘before’ photos but the results should speak for themselves. Much to my dismay, this car is driven through an automatic wash tunnel on an almost daily basis. She likes the idea of always having a clean car for $25 a month but doesn’t comprehend how it’s ruining her paint...
