Oil Change Interval for Synthetics by The Doctor
Hi all, I'm thinking of changing my '90 Acura legend over to a synthetic oil product (Mobil 1 Amsoil..etc..suggestions?) and was wondering what intervals I can expect between changes. One person I was talking to said they can go to 25k. I don't know if I'd be comfortable with that, though. The car...

Lincoln vs Cadillac by Bailey B
Surprised that GM didn't drop Cadillac. From my experience I find that Lincoln Town Car is greatly preferred to full size Cadillacs. The general consensus is that Cadillac is junk, inferior even to Chevrolet. A limo service told me that they haven't used Cadillac in years. Because they break...

Okay, what's the truth about engine break-in? by Doc
There seem to be two camps. I've seen those that advocate stomping on the engine to high revs and backing off in the initial break-in because of some alleged benefit. Then there's a more traditional school of thought, such as this...

Battery cables reversed. by J J
