Moving on up!!

I've had a 1999 S70 Volvo for two years and put on close to 50,000 miles in that time; driving roughly 110 miles daily to work and back. I loved driving that car. My wife's 2002 Toyota needed some AC work done, quite possibly a little freon added. She took off for the repair shop, and I followed her...

Drove from Greensboro, NC to N. Charleston, SC for a total of 290 plus miles. In Greensboro, NC I filled up with 87 Octane. On the way back, two days later, I filled up the tank with 91 Octane to give my motor a 'treat', and the price of gas is way cheaper in SC. Got 3 miles better gas milage with t...

Car was great, nothing wrong. I'm going to have to change the oil again soon and got to wondering if I used a Synthetic b...

Oil Change

I bought this really great 1999 S70 for my kid. He wanted my 2001 Honda I used for work instead, so I got the extended warranty the dealer (Nissan) offered. I drive so much (2000 miles per month, minimum) that I was using coupons in the book by the exact specific mileage and have run thru the book o...

Radio light

As luck would have it, I also have the bulb out in MY Honda Accord. Would you tell how to do that job also?

Tail Light Problem

Each time I turn on my car, the bulb icon is lit on the dashboard. It always the top left light next to the trunk lid. I can open the trunk, and when pulling out the plastic holder for all the bulbs, that one bulb will light up when I move the holder just a bit. And stays lit until the next time I s...
