I am supposed to change the oil in my car every 3 months or 1000 miles. (as much as I hate) I could not follow that routine. Sometimes I change after 2000+ miles or after like 6-8 months according to my convenience. In know this is bad and will affect the gas mileage, etc. what are the others ? Once I change the oil do the ill effects caused due to my tardiness vanish OR is there any Long term damage to the car.. Advance thanks

We use engine oil for lubricating the engine. Different oil is used for different engines. Namely 2T, 20/50 and so on...

I just had the battery replaced in my 2002 Chevy Blazer. Now I can play the front and rear speakers with no problems but when I turn up the subwoofers my deck skips/cuts out and won't play constant.

This problem was not happening before with the old battery.

My system consists of;
1. Yellow Top Optima battery
2. 2 XS100 Kicker amps
3. 2 Kicker 15" solo X's
4. Alpine "R" series fronts and rears
5. MTX 100x4 amp
6. Pheonix Gold Bass Cube
7. Kicker remote gain.
8. Eclipse head unit

The battery gauge barely even moves when I put power to the subs so I don't think that it is drained but could there be a dead cell?

Any help would be appreciated.

i just purchased a 1999 VW jetta GLS and after reading many reviews about this car from msn and google, it sounds like this car isnt very reliable. Many people had common mechanical and technical problems like the window falling into the door, the engine light always turining on, the O2 sensors going out, and rain coming through driver door during rainy days and more. Does any one have any comments or answer as to if the 1999 jetta gls are reliable???? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP

I have been a mechanic professionally for over 35 years but always worked with my father since I was old enough to pronounce the word! I am a "mechanic" not a "parts replacer" like so many of these guys I see! Does "certified" change that somehow? I've seen "certified" mechanics that don't know if they're on foot or horseback! Must just be an "EGO" thing I would assume! A "mechanic" can diagnose the problem and install the correct part making the repair. A "parts replacer" just keeps putting parts in until he/she accidently corrects the problem but bankrupts the customers bank account! That's the difference and "mechanics in my opinion are a rare find these days!
