I just had it changed with full synthetic oil, shouldn't it be more than 3k and not less than that? I thought that's what I bought the synthetic for?

Is there a cleaner or quick procedure that will let me wipe off rusty water that's leaked from the ceiling of our underground parking facility that's dripped to the side of my car? It seems to just be right on the surface, but I can't just wipe it off or rub it out, and I don't want to take it to a car wash for just that spot.

I'd like something I can use to treat it almost immediately after it happens (i.e. the next day or so after it happens overnight), to prevent long-term damage.

I have an 89 th-125 that was stalling out at stops after it was warm so I went ahead & replaced the solenoid. After 2 weeks it starts stalling again, off went the wire but it is still doing it, I checked the brake switch, it's fine. Now what?

The horn motor has been replaced three times because it gets stuck honking until it won't work at all and the back windows only work part of the time. The battery is only a few months old. The car runs great once I get it started but if I let it set overnight the battery is too weak to start the car. The engine is in good shape, I had it rebuilt and a factory rebuilt transmission installed at a dealer's shop a couple years ago. Going into winter, I know that the car will be useless unless I can get this problem fixed. I would welcome ideas from anyone, the car is in too good of shape to write off. Anyone know what the problem is?

I have a Jeep Cherokee and I've noticed small drops of oil on the ground underneath where the rear differential is. I have an appointment w/my mechanic this Monday. Is it safe to drive the vehicle until then?

I just bought a 2003 Chevrolet 2500 HD, it has a plow package on it and I also purchased a Diamond 8' plow (w/ lights, etc). I've never plowed before and am new to the whole thing.

Are there any tips you can give me so I don't make more work than I have to when I plow? (i.e. plowing my garage door in, etc).

Any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!

Matt

I went to a Honda dealer to check out a CR-V the other day. I tried opening the rear hatch but couldn't because, according to the salesperson, the battery was dead. She explained that the car had been sitting in the showroom for the past month without being started, and so the battery lost all it's juice. She brought in one of those portable car chargers, connected it to the battery and everything seemed to work, lights came on, car started, rear gate opened, etc.

The car is new, but an '07, and not a new '08, so I assume it had been sitting in the showroom for quite a while, probably for longer than the one month she claimed. However, it is still a new car with only 34 miles on the odometer.

Is it normal for a brand new car's battery to lose all power after a few months of idleness? Is it possible someone used one of the electrical ports to charge up a cell phone or laptop, and drained the battery? Is the battery bad, or is it an indication of a larger electrical issue?

I have a 2004 Mits Lancer and my ck engine light came on - I need to get my car inspected by NYS and they won't pass it. Anyone have a way for "me" to reset the light- I know I should bring it to the shop but its due and I need it done asap.

I've already tried to detach the battery but it worked until I turned my car back on... thanks
