Radio automatic turnoff: nothing can go wrong go wrong go wrong by
Ad absurdum per aspera
I think I found a bug^undocumented feature of wildcard utility...
Current-ish model 4-door Impala (2007, I think, though conceivably an
'08) in our motor pool. When you turn the ignition switch off and
close the door, the radio goes off. So far so good.
Then you realize you need to log the...

Can you teach me more about lug bolts & related tire tools? by
ultred ragnusen
Can you teach me more about lug bolts & related tire tools on this vehicle
whose tires I rotated today and which I plan on rotating every 4K miles (6K
km).
First question is what is the practical difference between these three 21mm
(13/16ths) "sockets" for the lug bolts on the car I was working on...

Unable to Tighten GM Side Mount Battery Terminal by
KC[_2_]
The car is a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass with the 3.4L DOHC engine. The
negative battery cable terminal will not get very tight when attached
to the battery.
I can snug it up to where it just begins to get tight, but that is as
much as I can get out of it. It feels as though there is not enough
depth...

New initiate to OIL CHANGE CLUB by
Built_Well
Hi again, gang. I hope everyone has been great.
Well, it's time for another oil change, so I thought I'd check in
again with my Toyota
friends.
Only this time I have a surprise! I did my first-ever oil change the
other day! It was a
real pleasure to do, and I have to thank all the...

Surprising increase in truck MPG by
Ignoramus15242
I have a Chevy Silverado pickup that is by now about 18 months old.
I was never able to get more that about 220 miles out of a 22 gallon
tank of gas, sometimes even less.
However, the last three refills, gave me 280, 266, and 283 miles per
refill. (I usually run until my tanks gets fully empty,...

Which pad is "better?" Ceramic or semi-metallic? by
Nate Nagel[_2_]
Looking for experiences... Used ceramic on last brake job and am very
happy with them. Need to buy brakes for another vehicle tomorrow, and
when I called the parts store the guy said that semi-metallic were
noisier and dustier but "would handle the heat better" if I were to use
a vehicle for...

Hybrid car cost of ownership by
Tom Del Rosso
Besides higher mileage I suspect there must be hidden costs or else there
would be hybrids on dealers' floors. Is there a significant cost due to
replacing batteries or something? Or are they just not ready for primetime?

Chevy small block oil leak by
Jonathan Ward
This is really exasperating, and I need some fresh ideas. I did a
top-end rebuild on a Chevy 350 that's in a 1984 K-20 truck I recently
bought. It had a pretty good oil leak at the rear of the engine, so
last weekend I dropped the oil pan, cleaned everything out, and
installed a new rear main...

Infiniti Q45 oil pan removal procedure by
Miki
The first step in the service manual says: "Remove engine."
You may not have to remove it, you could probably jack it up. You
would likely have to lift it until it's against the firewall, because
the pan needs quite a few inches of drop-down before it'll clear the
crank counterweights.

no lube on auto fasteners? by
[email protected]
my mechanical training ground was in bicycles, where good mechanics
lubricate basically every fastener. grease, antiseize, and occasionally
oil go on everything. (the obvious advantages are correct feel for the
torque, no galling, decreased corrosion, etc)
in cars, i never find any mention of...

better mileage with higher octane? by

is there any truth to the statement that using a higher octane gasoline will result in
better gas mileage? I understand that it may have other beneficial properties ie.
anti-knock, acceleration, etc..
how would one calculate such a statement?
for reference, I usually fillup between 16-20...

Automatic vs. Manual transmission by
SBH
It's been well known a manual transmission obtains better fuel mileage than
an automatic. My sister is preparing to purchase a Ford Fiesta and wants a
manual, mainly for the fuel savings. The sales guy indicated the new
transmissions (more so the 6 speed auto in the Fiesta) are better and more...

Brake shake with freshly machined rotors? by

Hi all,
got a bit of a puzzlement. Ever since I've had it, my '08 Impala has
had a pronounced steering shimmy under braking - the harder you brake,
the more the wheel shakes back and forth.
I finally took it in for its first service in my care today, and asked
them to balance and rotate the...
