Cars & Transportation - 17 July 2007

i have recently purchased a 2007 mercury, milan, premier. at my first oil change i told the dealer to use 100% synthetic oil. when do i need to have the oil changed? they are telling me the standard 3000 miles. i thought that when 100% synthetic oil was used that the life of the oil lengthened. Please help. I want to do the right thing.

I have a riding mower that won't start.

When you turn the key it makes the start up sound but it won't turn over... it hangs right on the edge.

It's a Briggs and Stratton, Model 28R707. I've looked at all the trouble shooting stuff online but I don't know which one I should start with.

Where should I begin?

Just question that has been bugging me. You would think it takes less fuel to cool already cold air than to cool hot air from outside?

I am buying a car from a private seller. I have a title that says there is a lein on the car because of an auto loan but the seller gave me the paper work saying the loan is paid off. Can I just take all this stuff when I go to register the car or does he have to get a new title first? (I live in PA, but the seller is in NY state).

I just recently bought a 1993 Mercury with only 84,000 miles on it. The car is clean but the odometer is only five digits so I was wondering was there anyway to tell that this car didn't go over 100,000 miles and just started over... Is it actually 184k instead of 84k

I have a 1990 40 hp Evinrude Tracker boat engine that's lower unit has gone bad. I need a working lower unit for it. I could use anything from 1990-1992 unit and anything from 40 - 50 hps as a replacement. I have looked in every conceivable place, but I am coming up empty at this point. Any good ideas out there as to where I might find a good, used lower unit? Thanks!

Where is the thermostat located on 94 Saturn SC1? And most radiators I've seen are in the front of the engine, but mine seems to be what would normally look like a reservoir.....is it actually the radiator?

Hi from Liverpoo, England.

I am partially sighted and as this prevents me from learning to drive, I have never bothered finding out how an engine works.

I think its about time I found out, so I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction of a beginners website that can tell me, or if anyone can tell me on here I would be very gratefull.

Thanks for any info you can provide, and for those who are about to flame me because I have poor eyesight, get a life.

I bought a toyota Camry 2007 model in July '06. It been exactly 1 year and i have clocked 18000 odd kilometers(its in canada). have done 3 service checks till now-at 1000km,8000km and 15000 km. M y question is does the camry's engine consume an excessive lot of "engine oil"????
becoz its just 3000 km from the last service(including engine oil top-up),and the level is already just above minimum.another 1 week of driving and I have to go in again for a top-up. the Toyota service people say its becoz its a new car and hasnt clocked many kilometers yet,and asked me to wait till abt 25000 for the engine to get acclimitized. IS it true???i thought for new cars the engine is supposed to be smooth and less maintenance required?....pls help me...

Okay I love to blast my AC in my vehicle on full blast at the coolest level. Is this the reason my gas doesn't last very long?

If I put it on a less cool level, but still blast it at full pressure does this make a difference. Thanks!
