    New castrol transmax ATF?

    Has anyone else seen this castrol ATF? It's full synthetic and supposedly works in CVTs and regular automatics. Would this work well in a Type IV Toyota transmission over the transmax multi vehicle import? It appears to be slightly thicker viscosity over valoline maxlife ATF.

It was over filled by half a...

    CARQUEST Oil Filters made in china

    Just purchased some CARQUEST oil filters. I think they are made by Purolator. I use these on lawn mowers. I used to use napa proselect until there price went up to over 4 bucks a piece. I noticed they are made in china. Does Purolator have a Chinese plant? They look better than a fram filter.

    Chinese air filters?

    Is there really a difference between OEM Briggs air filters and cheap Chinese ones. They look very similar and quality seems nearly identical. Is there really a difference or are they stamped out of the same Chinese factory with different names printed on them.

    I've got a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder SE 4WD with the potential problem of coolant and transmission fluid mixing in the cooler in the bottom of the radiator.
