Are motorcycle oil filters specific to each model or brand of bike or does one type fit all?

All of the other plug wires have wire cores that bend over and touch the fittings.

This one has white hair like stuff in the core. and it is also coated in plastic. Should I treat these hairs like wire or is there something else that needs to be done. Any tips would be great thanks.

I know already red, blue, and white are because of impersonating cops and such but what about anything else? I'm looking to put some on my z06 Corvette.

I recently purchased a 2006 Honda Civic. The first time I filled up the tank completely i got 270 miles. This time I filled up and only got 140. The car isnt leaking anything so I dont know what it could be.

In the competition for the JSF, (Now F-35) do you think Boeing were paid off to fail?
A company with such a history and skill were totally beaten in that competition. Their aeroplane prover was a terrifyingly ugly failure.
I just can't believe a company as good as Boeing got it all so wrong.
Does anybody else suspect they were paid to fail?

Oh, I'm British and I was part of the JSF team in the early days and have no axe to grind either way.

I just bought a 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage, the owners manual wasn't with it, was hoping someone knew what type of oil to use. My guess is 10W-30 But I want to make sure its the right oil for the car.

I am a huge fan of the 4.0, in my mind the straight six is nearly bullet proof and have stuck with the late 80's and early 90's Cherokee. Now I am in a bind and might be able to get into 93 Grand Cherokee with 170K miles for cheap ($2k). For the 4.0 I wouldn't blink, does the V-8 compare?

I purchased it from a seller on Ebay who has a 500 feedback rating and only 5 negatives. All he sells are the resistor chips for different cars. It only costed me $5 total.

BUT, different people have been giving me mixed advice regarding whether or not I should put it in my car. Some had said that it will work fine and others have warned that it will end up screwing my car's motor up.

I have a short ram air intake in it now and just got new spark plugs put into it. I dont want to take the chance of messing my car up.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?????WELL INFORMED, EXPERIENCED ADVICE ONLY!

It's a 94 Explorer, 6 cyl

I can't see where it is leaking from but it is dripping...more like running...from above and behind the right front tire. It doesn't seem to leak much at all when it's running, but when I shut it off, after a few minutes, it leaks really bad. I tried Bars Leak, but that didn't help at all. Every time I get ready to drive it, I fill up the resevoir and radiator. The resevoir is usually empty after driving 30 miles or so and the radiator usually needs maybe a 1/4 of a gallon.

I haven't had to use my 4x4 in a few months and I forgot to put on on every now an then since. Now I need it and it won't turn on. When I press the button it makes its clicking noised but does not actually engage and the light does not turn on. I've heard that you can try to tap the solenoid on the tranfer case to see if you can free it up. Problem is- I don't know where to look. I'm afraid of hitting somthing with a hammer that shouldn't be hit with a hammer.

Just got a Volvo S60 D5 Auto, 04 SE model, on starting in the morning it's very uneven and smokey. Once warm it seems fine though.

Well, my GF left the car lights on last Monday and i got it jump started on Tuesday. Everything worked, but i couldnt drive my car long enough to fully charge the battery. On Weds i tried to start up my engine, heard some clicks (normal for a car thats out a batteries) and the car wont start.

Im a Rutgers Student, so i called RUPD (security) to help jump start my car.

We comes out with a portable starter, then the mistake happened...
He put the neg on the pos and the pos on the neg. Now my car is COMPLETELY dead. No clicks, no interior lights nothing works... EXCEPT the brake lights.

What could this mean?

I filed a complaint and will speak to the Lt.
I just want to know what EXACTLY CAN happen to my car.

Also, i have a after market Head unit and subwoofer system. Could it hurt that?

Thank you SO Much in Advance!
