    Making the switch from conventional to synthetic oil

    Jiffy Lube's parent company is Pennzoil, so they will probably carry their brand. Even though most shops are independently owned. Locally here in Orlando many of the Jiffy Lubes carried Amsoil and sold a lot of it, until Pennzoil got wind of it and forced them to drop the line or they couldn't...

    Making the switch from conventional to synthetic oil

    Okay, I'm hopping in here. Many of the stuff being said is accurate, some needs clarification. I sell synthetic oil, so hopefully I'm relatively up to date on what's going on. The stories about synthetics cleaning seals is true to a point. The PAO base stock and those with Ester do a...

    What Manual transmission Fluid?

    I've been using Amsoil ATF for a while now and am also a Direct Dealer. I think the main reason you might not see Amsoil often in the performance shops with Redline or Royal Purple is because Amsoil's main focus is to market to the general public, versus the performance market which is...

    Gentex Mirror Question

    I'm looking at the various Gentex and similar mirrors out there because I want one on my car. I picked up a plain dimming one for my minivan a while back in a junk yard and it simply plugged into hidden wires above the headliner and works fine. Last week I picked up two more from the junk yard...

    Power Antenna?

    Guess I figure, if I already have a hole for an antenna, may as well make it interesting rather than a plain stick popping up. I already have a short 6 inch antenna, but thought this might be a bit more custom. I've heard pros and cons to the window antenna; people not getting good signals...

    Radiator Support Install Question

    I was going to start with the drilling easy out method first. Ideally I'd like to replace it with an upgraded, but for the money I see the upgrades sell for, there are other mods I'd rather do first.

    Radiator Support Install Question

    Actually I just ordered the one on ebay from Pershing along with a few other parts I need to fix my front end. If it does turn out to be too much of a pain and driveway project, I might be listing it there again. :)

    Power Antenna?

    I'm thinking along these lines again, especially since I will be replacing the inner fender skirt and have the area under the stock antenna exposed. Seems like a perfect time to do this project. Does anyone else have any new input? I've done some Web searches and even looked at Crutchfields...

    Radiator Support Install Question

    How much more is there to remove to just replace the entire thing? I've seen them selling for around $60 which made me think it might be cheap enough to just replace. But if it's a major PITA, maybe I will just try and bend it. I do need to try and figure out how to get the drain plug of the...

    bump No one's ever done this before?

    synthetic oil....not a good idea with a blower?

    As an Amsoil Dealer, I thought I'd throw my five cents in. I'll admit that I'm not sure on the blower question, but I'll talk with some of the gear heads I know and see if they have anything to say. I know Amsoil is working with some of the Monster Trucks out there, and they have massive...

    5w30 oil ok for 4.6?

    As an Amsoil Dealer, this is what we were told as well. Same holds true for Honda who also switched to 5W-20. But if you go out of the country, I understand they all still say 5W-30. I'm still running 5W-30 in my 99, and 0W-30 in my wife's Honda. One of the other Dealers I know tried...

    Radiator Support Install Question

    Okay, I keep getting different answers on this. The previous owner of my GT tried to jack the car up by the radiator support which bent it. It doesn't effect anything, other than pushing the brake lines close together which causes them to vibrate at certain RPMs. I've talked to a few body...

    Best Cold Air Intake

    Yup, that probably was me, I did post the links a few weeks ago in one of the threads. I was using an Amsoil 2-Stage Foam filter before, and before that was available, I did have a K&N. To tell you the truth, I didn't notice much of a difference between any of them, although if I recall, I did...

    Best Cold Air Intake

    Have you looked at Amsoil new Ea Filters? They use nano-fiber technology, are reusable, and are dry filters so no need for reoiling that can also get on the MAF sensor and cause false readings. Good for 100K or 4 years, flow as well as the gauze filters, but filter out about 50x the dust. To...

    Power Antenna?

    Anyone ever installed a power antenna? I have a short antenna right now, but have always thought that a power one would be cool. I'd want a black one. Had one I put on my previous car that I got at one of the major car parts stores (don't recall which anymore), but it made a loud clunking...

    Interest in a simpler KarKraft functional hood scoop?

    Any new info on this?

    Opening the hoodscoop...

    That's a nice setup. The Karkraft kit has been gone for several years. I've had a few thoughts, but maybe someone here has already considered them, haven't seen mention of it before. One: Everyone talks about fiberglassing the scoop, straps, etc. What about making a metal box that fits...

    do I need a new IAC?

    What happens if you don't do this? I replaced my IAC a month or so ago and added a restrictor plate. I disconnected the battery then figuring it resets to a default setting. The idle was high then and triggered the Engine Service light after two weeks. I removed the plate, disconnected the...

    Erratic Idle, Only with AC

    I haven't had a chance to dig deeper into this, however, over the weekend my wife and I took a trip out of town. Being 90+ degrees this past weekend here in Floirida, of course AC was used. On occasion I could feel a slight shudder while driving, but the stand still idle seems to have returned...
