Anyone that has a prius. what is the best mileage you have got so far? what is your average MPG?
3. Chevron DELO 400 15W-40 oil(about $20 for 8 quarts, BUY in gallon jugs)...well worth it, and superior over any Castrol, etc
4. Stay AWAY from cheap gas places, and do NOT try to get by on 87/89 octane...you WILL roach the engine. Shell/Chevron are your best bets for gas.

5. Large bottle of TECHRON...at Chevron..follow directions, GREAT stuff for cleaning up the INSIDE of your engine.
6. NGK Iridium plugs(I think #6341)...$5.99/plug, but you won't have to change them, and better MPG.
7. Use Prestone Low-TOX coolant, like NOW. Also REDLINE makes a additive for coolants which reduces head temperatures.
HELLO does anyone know the bleeding order for the brakes on a peugeot expert van 1997?
8. Go with K&N airfilter(not for power, but the price of a "regular" paper filter...in about 30-40K, the K&N will pay for itself.
9. Lastly...STAY away from the Jiffy Lubes, etc. They ALL have Made in China crap filters, single weight lousy oil, either overfill/underfill, strip bolts...don't do it, find someone who can do the work(not rocket science).
Would an '87 Chevy 350 V8 have a rev limiter?

check plugs for fouls to know if any cylinder burns oil or check color. each color has a meaning of course if plug wires are bad then it voids plugs

Any help for hyundai verna 1999?
All answers are good, except HappyNow's number 3. The oil he recommended is for a diesel engine. For a gas engine, you need to find out if the previous owner(s) have been using a synthetic oil. If they have, you need to use the same oil they have. If not, follow the recommendations in the Owner's Manual for the viscosity for the temperature in your area.How many spark plugs are required for my Chevrolet Impala 2003?
A few contradictions to previous advice:Where can I buy a drivers side clear door glass for a 1969 dodge coronet ?
1) Don't put a K&N filter on a car you want to keep. Filtration and flow are inversely related. The only way you get more flow is less efficient filtration. As for doing it as a cost savings idea, think about washing out an oil soaked filter peppered with dust and debris...very unpleasant. A regular air filter once a year is fine.

2) I would go with the Delo, or a similar Diesel-specific motor oil. Even though you don't have a Diesel. The reason is that current non-Diesel oils have reduced zinc content (zinc, or ZDDP is used to prevent wear). They aren't the best choice for an older flat tappet engine. Diesel oils are more similar to traditional motor oil formulations.

3) Doesn't matter if you switch between synthetic to dino and back again. There are no incompatibilites among these lubricants.

1) Check the tensioner on your serpentine belt. Do this by releasing the tension, and looking for excessive play in the bearing. If it's worn, replace the tensioner. If the bearing goes, the vibration can shake apart your timing chain cover.
Anyone one out there with a Honda Odyssey 2003 with noise in the passenger side windshield area. ??
2) Keep an eye on your ball joints and tie rod ends. I've found that this generation of Mercedes tends to wear them faster than some cars.
Why does my 98 BMW 323i not come back to center when i turn the steering wheel?
3) Have your transmission fluid changed, who knows when it was last done. If the transmission starts to slip, or shifts hard, have it looked at immediately, as this is one expensive item if you break it. I personally don't like synthetics in the Mercedes transmissions, regular transmission fluid is fine.
4) Have your differential fluid drained and replaced. Do NOT use synthetics in the diff.

5) Inspect the rubber couplings on the driveshaft. If there are surface cracks, replace them. If one of these couplings goes, the driveshaft will end up in your lap, or what's left of your lap.
Any problems with buying a used '03 GTI with bout 30k miles?
6) I'll echo and emphasize the comment about Jiffy Lubes. Your car uses a cartridge oil filter, they won't even be able to locate it. Find a good independent Mercedes shop or learn how to change your own oil.

Continue to use the same brand of oil as the previous owner, You bought yourself a good car you'll get another 100k on it easily.Advance auto partsI have a 1993 gmc 2500 vandura van w/ a350 eng. .It stalls when you give it gas .?
These are good cars when running well but -. Lots to go wrong. Check that it has a duplex timing chain by looking through the oil filler cap with a flashlight/ torch. Single row chains are prone to snap at 55,000 miles, duplex are better. 300 engines crack heads, head gasket failure is common on high milers, oil leaks from round the head gasket are the early sign.Just to make it worse there are multiple problems with cooling systems, check the cooling fan clutch, fan belt tensioner and pulleys, water pump failure is common. Radiator may be worn out. Watch Temperature! Do not allow to exceed 100C (212F).
How much should I ask for my Jeep?
Over some years in the 1990s M-B were supplied with engine wiring looms which had poor insulation. This mainly affected the engine wiring harness, and engine heat rapidly degraded the insulation. I think your '92 is just too early for that, so you could have struck lucky there.
Where can i buy a "cockpit wind breaker" for my 2004 Chevy SSR?
Timing chain tensioners work on oil pressure so make sure the engine has plenty of clean oil.
