I have an 06 V with a few mods, cat backs, ported input manifold and throttle body, and a Lingenfelter cold air intake. Had a performance tune a couple of years ago and everything worked great for a couple of years until I cleaned and reoiled the air filter. I started getting the dreaded...

Okay, So in follow up to my earlier post about the slugfest that is my Brougham going up a hill....it's at the shop for a full tune up today. The mechanic took it for a drive up and down the escarpment access and said it was misfiring at lock-up, whatever that (lockup) means. I know I was...

I currently own a 05 Nissan Maxima loaded out with every option and I have been eyeballing a 05 black CTS with every option minus navigation. My Maxima has 60k miles on it and the CTS has 63k miles on it. My question is would anyone recommend trading into the CTS or keep the Maxima? My Maxima...

2006 STS 1SC Mine is at 19%. The local caddy dealer is having a special. For approx. $75 I can get a Mobil 1 oil change, new rain-x wipers, a wash, and a 27 point inspection. I figure the extras are probably worth the $20 or so I have left in my oil life. What do you all think?

Start the car up and it feels like my '02 Z28. You can barely feel or hear it but I take notice of these things. These things idle like sewing machines so hence my concern. I think there is a drop in midrange performance. Gas mileage is slightly suffering. Was going to check the plugs till...

Apparently the K&N Replacement Air Filter for the 2010 SRX 3.0 and 2.8 Turbo became available on July 23, 2010. Part # 33-2444. Price is $51.99 with free shipping on kandn.com. I have one in my 2008 3.6DI CTS and I like to think I noticed a difference in power but I'm not 100% sure that it...

i was just wondering how tight it should be. does it only have to be tightened to a snug position or does it have to be extra tight?

I think I have found the access point, but cannot get the filter out. Is there a "trick" ? I have tried everything. The car has been sitting; would that have anything to do with it? Any help would be appreciated. R Dennis

I lost a clip that holds the air filter clip awhile back, tried to order another one but rock auto didn't have any in stock and forgot about it. Just got my car back from shop and the other clip is also gone!! Does anyone know where I can order them from and any suggestions on what to do while I...

So, the owner's manual of my 1990 Deville says to use AC Delco PF-45 oil filter for replacements. The filter on my car now has a PF-61 filter on it and I have another PF-61 on the shelf. Did they discontinue the PF-45 filter? I'm trying to figure out why I would have a different filter on the...

Installing the filter element in a 2010 CTS 3.6 I lubricated the rubber gaskets on either end and attempted to slip over the oil input tube at the base of the cartridge container. I tried pushing the filter down on the tube while slowly rotating it but the strength of the filter element was...

Hello all, Just phoned my local parts store for a tranny filter and pan gasket, they told me there are 2 different transmissions listed for a 2003 Escalade, therefore 2 different filter and gaskets. Does anyone know how I determine what type of tranny I have so I get the right parts? if I buy...

As the title says this probably has been discussed already and I did search the forum some, but I didn't exactly find what I'm seeking or it wasn't for my Caddy's year. So here I go: What would be the best fuel filter to buy for my Caddy? ACDelco too? I've found these for ACDelco...

I'm trying to change the fuel filter on my 2000 STS. 140k miles, and I think it's original to the car (yes, you can start yelling at me now). The quick disconnect obviously came right off, but the threaded end is locked on solid with rust. Here are my ideas: 1) Spray it with penetrating lube...

1996 Seville and I'm trying to get the old fuel filter out of the clamp/bracket that is holding it in place. It surrounds it like a belt but it won't slide out. There looks like a plastic snap on the backside but I didn't want to try and pry it any harder fearing it may break. Is it that snap...

Well its time to change my spark plugs. It looks simple. Just remove strut bar and engine cover and access hould be easy. True or not? Any tips or tricks for plugs and fuel filter? Thanks Jeff

I just inspected the cabin filter as I did the regular one last week. The cabin filter was far dirtier . I only have 16,000 miles on it. Surprizing. Easy change, just remember to put the wipers straight up, remove the rubber on the ledge carefully, 7mm hex socket,watch the hex screws, don't...
