Maintenance & Repairs - October 2006

I went to change my oil this past weekend and in my haste I inadvertantly picked up 10W-30 instead of 5W-30 which is normally used. Is this a big deal? what's the worst that could happen? I have a 95 acura integra 1.8 liter-4 cylinder

I just took it to the dealership 2 weeks ago. I got a oil change and tire rotation. They did a 16 point inspections and said everything is fine. Is this something they fail to see?

I need new brakes for my car.

...when my car is in park when I first start it, the RPM goes straight to around 1500. This has happened for quite a while, but usually when I go into drive it's fine. Today when I put it into drive, everything I did added 1500 RPMs for around 2 minutes until it finally cooled down.

Is my car dying? It only has 117,000 miles ('99 toyota camry). I'm thinking it did this because I did not drive it all day Sunday. Any idea what the problem is? Should I look into getting it fixed, or look into a new car?

Thanks in advance.

My 2000 Jetta dies when it has less than a quarter tank of gas. Once I get the car completely stopped and take out the key, I can just reinsert they key and restart the car immediately. It does happen always, just sometimes.

Any ideas what this can be? Have you seen this before? The Mechanic is not able to get the problem to re-occur, so he isn't able to diagnose it. I'm hoping to be able to point him in the right direction.

I use Mobil Clean 5000 right now. The UOA's(Used Oil Analysis) on bobistheoilguy.com are not sufficient enough to give me good data. I really doubt Mobil would make a bad oil. The car runs wonderfully with it, and I drive 70% highway miles so there's no "severe" driving for me to worry about with shorter OCI's(Oil Change Intervals). I particularly like the 5000 mile guarantee. I use purolator oil filters only. My car is a 1991 Toyota Camry, so I don't use synthetic. Older engines like this one don't seem to be designed for synthetic oil from what I hear. (The car engine needs an overhaul because it does some slight oil burning, which is my other question here that has already been resolved) I was just wondering if for example someone drives the same car as I do, and has a lot of miles like I do (228,700). I just want to keep this car running as much as I can until I need to overhaul the engine. So what's your favorite conventional oil?

Last week I had my transmission rebuilt. I picked it up on Friday, on Sat, after about driving 100 miles my check engine light came on. So I disconnected the battery terminals for about an hr. After reconnecting the terminals, the light went off. I drove it for about 5 miles and after comming to a stop the car shut off and would not restart. I had it towed back to my house and examined it myself. I found the problem to be a blown fuse in the automatic shut off. I replaced the fuse and cleaned the treminals in the relay. After that the car started up and ran fine. I drove it for about 20 miles more. This morning while starting my car to warm up the check engine light came back on. Any one have any ideas as to what the problem is and how to fix it?
(note: I own a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with an inline 6 cylinder enging that has about 129,000 miles on it and a rebuilt 5 speed automatic transmission.)
