I have been using Mobil 1 5W-30 and K&N filter ($9 @ Amazon.com) for my 1997 Nissan Altima (255k+ miles!), but I think it's an overkill since my Bosch premium oil filters for my BMW only cost $6 (advanceautopart.com). So I'm thinking I should not be going over $6 for my Nissan. But I also want to avoid "junk" filters. If your suggestion is online, please include a link. Thanks!

Has anyone seen any REAL difference on their cars (like water beading up) after driving through one of these wax washes? I always just use the basic wash because I'm quite skeptical that anything sprayed on and rinsed off could possibly stick to the car at all.

Please answer the question. I don't want to use Mobil 1 or Castrol. I drive very softly and garage it every winter.

I live on a street that has a lot of small children living on it. I am also expecting my first soon... We live on a road that basically connects two exits on 1-95, and is used as a cut through by just about everyone. The town we live in refuses to install speed bumps or speed gates on the road. The posted speed limit is 25 mph, but I am guessing the average is around 40.

I would like to find a radar system that i can hook up to a laptop and record the average speed of the cars so I could present the data to the town to hopefully change the road for the better... Any thoughts on how to do this? or if it is even legal?

In park or drive... it kinda goes up a little, then has a small 'click' and then the rpm goes down a little... what causes that? It is consistent and doesn't sounds 'bad' or grindy at all...

i took my car to a shop and they wanted to convert it from r12 to r134 and they said i could go buy some adapter for 40 bucks and just throw a can or two of freon in it and it will be fine, a real shop quoted me over a thousand dollars to retro-fit it but id rather have it done for 10-40 bucks what do u think
