We own an '04 Subaru Ouback H6 Anniversary edition. The dealership insists only putting premium gasoline in the car to prevent a knocking (?). However, some mechanic friends I know say it bs, but they don't specifically know about that type of car. Is there a difference for cars with high compression engines like my Subaru, or should I start going with lower grade gas?

Can anyone offer advice on the use of microfiber towels in car cleanup/detailing? Will these products scratch paint and glass? How would their use differ from regular cotton towels?

1987 Nissan Stanza, Auto matic trans, GXE, O.V. 5FCF9? (not familiar with these engines).. any way... a neighbor kid is trying to figure out why his battery keeps draining. We checked every light-trunk, glove box all shut off. Found main disc. switch in glove box and checked to assure battery isnt grounding to hood top. Also had Alt. tested which was good.

In the fuse box under hood, passenger side, the EGI Relay (green box) is making a quick clicking sound after the engine is shut down and key removed like the contacts are opening and closing sending power somewhere? This Relay/fuse was replaced and still clicking once shut down.

Also, down by the dist. cap, too the right there is a vacuum unit with 12 volt power going to it that will momentarily activate and shut off after the car is off and sitting. It has a vacuum line that runs top of engine too another motor that I believe deals with the fuel valve... ?

something is draining the battery and have no idea.

My 2003 Cavalier's AC is Stuck. If you turn it to any setting but AC in the cabin, it starts making a mechanical knocking sound above the blower moter behind the glove compartment. Air does not blow out of middle vents on any setting and much harder on the outside vents. Is there a directional flap or door above the blower fan that could get stuck and if so, how can I fix it without a mechanic.

I own a 1984 firebird with a 305 V8 and the 700r4 tranny it isa 4-speed automatic. Whenever i drive it, it doesnt want to shift out of first gear until like 3500 rpm and it keeps on continuing through all the gears. But what ive figured out is if i pump the gas pedal really hard a few times before i turn on the car, then it runs perfectly. I talked to some of my buddies and they said it was either a modulator valve, the T.V. Cable, or the governor, i think its the valve. Does anybody know if i can do it myself and do i have to drop the tranny, Please give me detailed instructions. thanks

alice chandler tow motor model FP20-24 serial #1720414146E5.
Not sure if it needs the distributor replaced . the set screw was broken off and i got it to hold back on and open the gap. now not sure if gap is right, it turns over real slow. Jumping it causes the heavy duty cables to turn hot. not a regular occurance, not susposed to happen.

I got into an accident over a month ago, it was my fault. My car had about $1500 worth of damage and the other car, SUV (had no damage) just paint job/scrape. Since there was no bodily harm, and basically no damage to the SUV, we decided to take care of it offline (no cops/insurance companies involved). The person who I hit said, he will provide me with an estimate later on. A month passed, I sold my damaged car and the person now finally got back to me with an estimate of $750 for paint to the rear bumper. $750 is too much for just paint and I feel the person is ripping me off. What will happen if I take this matter to my insurance company and that I sold the damaged car already? I only have liability coverage.

I have a four cylinder transmission, and it is automatic. When I drive it seems the gears from 1st to 2nd are getting stuck. I took it to a local transmission business, and they said that 2nd to 3rd were getting stuck and I should get it fixed fast. Estimated cost 995 dollars. I got a second opinon and they told me to try this product made by Lucas, and it helps fix the slip in transmissions. I am not sure if what to do? I heard the product was good. Should I get 2 bottles of it? Please help!!
