Is $644 plus tax too much for a Tune-Up and a rebuilt Distributor on a 1995 Cadillac Sedan DeVille? I know you are busy, but I was just wondering if you could tell me a yes or no. Thanks for your time. Love your site.
I’ve had this question for years about how the engine oil system works. I’ve consistently changed my engine oil every 5,500 to 6,500 miles. I go to a commercial oil change shop where they change both the oil and filter each time.
The question is; why does my engine go through about a quart of oil between 3,000 to 4,000 miles from the last oil change?
I have a 2002 Neon with a broken timing belt that according the mechanic resulted in bent valves and maybe a broken piston. Assuming that the mechanic is correct and that I probably need either a complete valve job or replace the engine, the cost will be $1200-$1,800.
I have a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder with approximately 203,000 miles. How do you know when it is time to replace the struts and/or shocks? What are the symptoms? I hear thumping and thudding sounds near my front tires. Can this also be a symptom?

It is a 1997 VW Jetta Gt, 4 cyl. and the starter went bad. Having replaced starters on other vehicles over the years I thought this would be a fairly simple task so my son and I decided we could fix it. My first mistake was removing the old starter without realizing it was mounted to the front motor mount bracket.
I have a 2000 GM 1500 pickup with the 4800 v8. Recently, my wife was told by the dealer that we had the wrong coolant in the engine and it needed a “radiator flush” and the proper orange coolant put in. Or else it would damage the engine, etc.
A School Nurse has written the info below good enough to share And it really works!! I had a pediatrician tell me what she believes is the best way to remove a tick. This is great, because it works in those places where it’s some times difficult to get to with tweezers: between toes, in the middle of a head full of dark hair, etc. Apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball.
I have noticed some oil on the top of the gear panel; the place where I shift the gears. However the oil has a deep blue color not in pink. So I am not sure if it’s the transmission fluid or the engine oil. I have an Acura 3.2 TL of year 2000. These models are known to have some transmission issues.
I have a 2004 Subaru Outback LLbean edition with a 6L Boxter engine. I always take it to the same local shop for my oil changes and minor repairs. I recently took the car to him to perform the 30K service. About a week after I got the car from him I noticed a knocking sound in the engine. Not being a mechanic at all, I wasn’t sure what the sound was. Within a few days the check engine light came on, so I took the car to the dealership right away to see what was going on.
