On my 98 c1500 the rear right side the brake/signal/ reverse light dosent work,only tail light, any ideas?


If it were me I would just leave it alone, buy oil in bulk and top off whenever a quart low. My corolla burns a quart every 1000 miles, I drive 1000 miles in 2 weeks, so every 2 weeks I add a quart.

Try some high mileage oil along with a quart of Lucas Oil Conditioner. If that doesn't suit you roll up your sleeves and put a used engine in or overhaul your own motor.

Why are my 2001 olds alero trac, antilock, and service engine lights coming on?

I'll be honest, I've never taken apart a "normal" engine, so I don't know how hard it is to replace the rings, but thats what you want to do. Or, burn the Honda and get an RX-7, that way its normal to burn oil and you won't feel bad about your car burning oil. Actually, you might start worrying about not burning enough oil!
