Is there really a difference between car oil and motorcycle oil? I looked at the back of a quart and it doesn't really say anything useful. Some websites have said that there's no difference, other than the extra $3 a quart. My owners manual says that I need oil that's aluminum friendly and doesn't have detergents. Aren't most motor oils aluminum friendly? I have a 2002 Honda Shadow VLX, if that helps.

Something with a range of 60 miles that would get you to work and the shops, and plug in to charge up in your garage for the next day?

I've got a Citroen Xantia N reg 1.9td, whenever I brake it makes a squealing noise, plus when I put my brakes on fully it clunks. We only bought it a week ago, the seller said it had new discs in Nov.

Isnt it strange? do you think the jeep guys were stoned out of their minds when they wrote it and then some big ad execs were like hey this is so youthful and cutting edge, great work, well go through production on that commercial. do you think stoners bug out when they see it? i think its hilarious

I have a 1998 New Beetle that will not start. I was driving it just fine and one day I parked it, came out of the store and it wouldnt start. I waited a few minutes and tried it again and it finally went. This has happened a couple times but the other day I was getting read for work and was about to leave but it wouldnt start at all. The engine turns over and I can hear the fuel pump click on and all the dash lights come on but it never actually starts. Any ideas? Fuel relay switch maybe?

When it really comes down to it, nobody likes havin a passenger on back...makes you slower, harder to brake and steer, and you burn more gas. But girls are like accessories, right? They look good, just like a mirrored windscreen, carbon fiber pipes...and a cute round butt. It does not even matter if they got a good lookin face...cuz its covered by a helmet. So really whats important is the girls butt. The way the back seat on a crotch rocket is angled makes her butt stick out...its hot lookin. And a nice blonde ponytail stickin out the back of the helmet looks good too.

I have a ford taurus. I was wondering if there was a way for me to reset it for my car. If there was a special "button press" for me too use. A certain way for me to program it for my car? I know that I can take it to a dealer. But I dont really like the fact that I have to spend $75 dollars just to get it reset to my car. Is there a number that I can press. My keyless entry has three buttons. Lock, unlock, and panic.
Responses would be GREAT. My mother has the other additional keyless entry but thats not the best help for me. HELP ME PLEASE.....

I purchased a tube of PERMATEX brand: High-Temperature red RTV gasket maker, But on the back of the tube it says "NOTE: Not recommended for use on head gaskets or parts that come in contact with gasoline" . The cashier at advanced auto parts store told me that the head gaskets do not need any type of silicone or RTV because the heat from the engine will secure a seal on, so just to put on the head gaskets without any RTV .

Is it true that if you put a penny on the track it could kill you or put out your eye? Or is that just something the rail road company says to scare kids into not wasting pennies.

I have a 05 chevy silverado work truck edition. I put 22 on it and I also lowered the back to make it level. Now it rides so ruff that I barely want to drive it. Can anyone please give me some advise on how to make the ride smoother without removing any of the features I just described, any help would be appreciated
