Yes i would say if you do not replace it now it will let you down and then you will have to buy one anyway. Call it preventative maintenance, you will not be sorry.Can i put a 98 honda integra type r engine in a 98 hatchback honda civic?
You should get the type that you can mount upside down and no leaking.. lolits a good idea to keep the same type cause it gets you into the routine of checking oil and screen wash at the same time
Yes. Maintenance free is the best bet. In fact these days it's difficult to get the older sort.

Makes absolutely no difference. If you got 8 years out of a battery, you got more than your money's worth. If you can get one, go for exactly the same battery again. If not, get any name brand one with a good warranty.I`ve been informed that by sellotaping a raw onion to your battery it rejuvenates it.

Yes you should replace it with one with no top on it.When there is no top there is no maintenance.Be sure you get a GOOD battery.Dont go buying some generic brand at your local Wal-Mart or other supercenter.A good battery is gonna cost anywhere from 65-100 bux but its well worth it and it may probably last another 5 years.Get a good name brand such as Die Hard,Interstate,Optima, Duralast etc etc.Generic name brand batteries tend not to last very long.Hope this helps.Do you need a turbo in order to install a cold air intake?
Yes of course . modern batteries have moved on in leaps and bounds from the old top up variety. I had the same caution as yourself but now have no problems accepting the new sealed variety. My only comment is that you seek an established make with a worthwhile guarantee. And hey, eight years for a battery is excellent!Can I re-seal my StreetGlow Tubes??

These are much easier than the old types where you had to add water/electrolyte to them. Most of them have a little window on top of the battery it's self that if you look into it and it is green then your battery is good, the little ball inside the window is red then it needs replacement.
Car battery's have come a long ways over the years, and technology in battery design has made leaps and bounds.
Can anyone recommend a clear bra for cars?
I would suggest a buying an Optima brand battery. They are sealed battery's and can be mounted in any position and fit most any applications, never need anything added to them,always maintenance free.
They do cost a few dollars more, but would you rather pay for a good battery once, or buy a few not so good ones.
Their different than any other battery because of the spiral
cell design. Don't take my word for it, just do some searching on the web for Optima battery's.
I have one in every vehicle I own, and they have never left me stranded.

As far as I know, they're all sealed these days. Just go for a good quality one that's specified for your car. And 8 years is remarkable service!Does the K&N Air Intake Systems really increase your horsepower.?
If in the USA you may have little choice as I haven't had one that could be fluid checked/added in years. The main thing is to get the one for your vehicle. Congrats, 8 years is an eternity for a car battery!Should I take the insurance money?

Eight years is great for a car battery, replace it with the cheapest battery you can get that has the same rating as your current battery. There is no advantage in having a battery that can be topped up over a non maint., battery.Searching for a mecanic or that kind of person?
To be honest a maintenance free battery is probably the only type you'll be able to buy these days.I'm assuming you mean 'topping up' as you have to add water to your battery. You can switch to a maintenance free battery with no problems. 8 years is a long life for a battery.
