I use Pennzoil 10w-30 now but I was wondering if anyone could recommend something better. I have an 87 Chevy Truck with 121,000 miles on it.

We just had new tires installed and an alignment completed. The car barely pulls right when accelerating and noticeably pulls left when letting off the gas and drives straight otherwise. Any thoughts?

Thank You!

My car is making a scrapping sound while I'm driving? The sound is off and on and I can semi-control it by tapping the breaks, but it will begin again if I make a turn or hit a bump. If it's not the breaks, what could it be?

My fabric seats stain easily because anything wet that gets on them sucks right in and is hard to dry or get out. How can I get the stains out of my fabric seats?

My a/c evidently has a freeon leak. This is it's third time in the shop. First they just refilled the freeon to see how long it lasted to determine if I had a leak. Compressor works fine! Second time in they replaced a switch or a sensor, I am not sure my husband knows what they did, and also they tightened some bolts that were loose. Now my truck is sitting in the shop currently for the third time and no one seems to be able to find the problem, or the source of a problem. anyone have similar experiences, or know of a possible solution, or even what is causing the problem?

I posted yesterday about the engine not reving past 2500 RPMs, a few of you suggested it is the fuel system, but I forgot to mention the check engine light being on, could the fuel filter being clogged make this happen

Evening all,

I have an Alfa Romeo 156 (2.0 TwinSpark).

Today I started the car, but had it cut out after 2 seconds. It happened the subsequent two times, by which time I realised the revs were dropping. I restarted the car and immediately depressed the accelerator to get the revs up, and after holding it at 1500 revs for 5-10 seconds, it was fine (i.e. able to idle with no input from me).

I was thinking that it might be due to the strain of the aircon, as later on, it looked as if it might do it again (on starting the car), so i quickly turned the aircon off, resulting in the rev needle jumping up ~400 revs.

I know next to nothing about cars, could the problem starting be just due to the strain of the aircon in the hot weather... or should I be concerned? When the engine cut out, it showed the oil/battery indicators, but both checked out fine (I know how to do that at least!).

Thanks

Hey guys, I was just driving on the freeway and a small rock hit on the windshield of my Jeep Grand Cherokee causing a crack about a foot long, which is currently spreading. How much do you think it would cost to have the windshield replaced?

Yesterday, when I started the engine the battery light came on as did the (flashing) air bag light and continued until I arrived at my destination. Today, while I had already been driving down the freeway, the same thing happened with both lights. Eventually the check engine light came on. As I got off the freeway my car started idling low and seemed to want to shut off at stop signs. I was able to drive it to where I was headed. I will be going to a mechanic tomorrow. I just want to get some ideas of what it could possibly be so I don't get taken. Also, It's a stick shift if that helps.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

I have a 1995 Mazda MPV, 4WD and one by one everything is quitting. The 'check engine' light is on, but 2 mechanics have told me that nothing is wrong and to ignore it. NOW, one by one, all the accessories are quitting. The rear AC is no longer working, the auto locks are no longer 'auto', etc, etc. Could my computer be going out, or what? Please advise, buying another car now is not in the budget - Help.
