  1. radar look what they have started to do here in alberta.. so smart.. but i hate it!!
  2. yea, if you dont want to go big and buy ams filter go wix. what wheight of oil do you guys all run?
  3. well, my atf aint so hot, so im going to suck it all out and refill, without flushing. i willl see what the results are
  4. i have yet to notice how commonly this is occuring, however it has been tending to happen when it is cold outside; auto tranny i will start my vehicle, and shift it down into reverse and it will lack power, i need to get it up to very high rpm to make it just roll, however drive seems to work fine; is this a common problem that you guys have encountered??
  5. well, i think im just going ot do the boots, it was only 30$ for the two of em, so its worth a try, plus i will throw full syn oil in there
  6. yea, so me and a friend are going to try and do this on the weekend. he did one of his in his car a few months back, i figured this would be a fairly common problem, and i was wonderin what advice you guys could give
  7. west eds still the biggest eh the did something and compared it to an american one, and yea, its still bigger one thing one must remember when visiting west ed is that much of the square footage is lended towards waterpark, hotel theatres, amusment park and such but in bc there are quite a few more twisty roads, well and in the albertan mountains. and i tell ya what, i love taking my trans am through the twisties.
  8. well, its not really an issue for someone like me, but if you have kids, it is a good thing to consider
  9. AMSOIL and Mobil 1 are the best in my eyes
  10. the way i see it is that its still the same air you would breath outside.
  11. well i lived in calgary until i was 14.. and now im in edmonton.. i dont really look at the touristy stuff, but i guess west ed is worth visiting if you have not been there. banff has got some good hotsprings, and banff>jasper by far
  12. do you have kids? if not, dont get it. expecially if you drive wiht windows down. i work at a drive in lube shop, and i find that one, they're a pain in the ass to get at, and two, think of if your car didnt have one.. the air wouldent be much different.
  13. okayy.. path in the shop right now.. is there anything i need to get past to get at the valve cover??
  14. may break it. is it a cork gasket?? or the rubber gasket??
  15. well i had them look at it and they say its the valve covers..
  16. i think im going to have it done in the shop. plus i guess depending on what needs ot be done.. cause its not for sure oil pan gasket
  17. actually its in right now gettin the insurance inspection done, and i am having them pinpoint the problem, so i can get get them to repair it
  18. so.. worth pay 130 for??

    oil pan...

    so i recently bought a 90 pathfiner, and i was told it leaked from the oil pan gasket. i work at lube x so i was able to pull it on in and give a look at it, and after removing the skid plate none of us could figure out how to get at the back bolts that hold the pan on.. is there sometthing else i have to take off first??
  20. well with my trans am i notice somthing similar, however it is due to a missing vent assembly, so when i finally filled up my tank gas would spill out, so i rigged up a tube which will prevent it from gettin out which i blow into to clear. i also have to fill slowly, but its for most the way.. and if i fill too fast, and hevnt cleard the tube it will come back out at me. and yes, pressure is normal. many vehicles have warning on the gas cap saying that there may be a pressure build up.
  21. my divers side has what looks like rust inside of it
  22. likely a gasket, you can pick em up for a few dollars, but be sure that you do not overtighten them
  23. i work at lube x now, so i encounter many tight filters. the fools at lube city cross threaded mine, so im not ever going there again.. are you very strong?? cause sometimes i need to get somebody bigger than me to help me haha.
