Just curious on how often this should be changed. One of my friends changes it every other oil change while some people are like "what's a PCV valve?"

I bought a 100,000 Mile warranty for my jeep liberty. My engine is blown and heavily sludged up. I have all my maintenance and oil receipts, infact Daimler service center was the last to do an oil change and had no report of sludge. This was a month before it was blown. Daimler refuses to honor my waranty and fix my engine. When I contacted my lawyer, I was told when I used an employee discount I agreed in fine print that I would never take Daimler to court, therefore voiding my waranty. Has anyone had this problem??

When I step on the gas, I've only heard it when I'm in park, there's a squeaking noise coming from the engine, it sounds like rubbing your finger on squeaky clean things...like teeth or glass. I'm not too worried about it, but does anyone know what it is? Could it be a belt?

I have a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo and twice within the past couple of days, the steering wheel has locked up WHILE driving as if I had turned the vehicle off and removed the key. Fortunately no one was hurt and it's going in the shop tomorrow, but I'd like to know if anyone has any ideas why this would happen....

OK, I don't know hardly anything about cars and motors.. etc. But, I've got a question. We have a 1993 Pontiac Grand Am. Well, if we drove it for a like a while over and hour or so. It would just die on us like we just shut if off at a stop sign, or stop light. So, we took it into the shop to get it looked at. After several people seen it, and heard it running. They said it was probably just a sensor.
Well, the place (TUFFY) looked at our car, and told us that we had a blown head gasket. That our engine was junk. That they could replace the head gasket, but the bottom of the engine would blow out. So, we decided not to have the engine replaced, and went to get the car. Seems it was still drivable, just died every now and then. Also, we was going to get a 2nd opinion from somewhere else. Seems everyone that had told us about the car said that's not right! If you had a blown head gasket you would have know it. Which I don't know.... :(
So, we go to get the car, and as soon as we...
