Why would anyone pay more than the minimum price for a motor oil that meets API Service SN? SN is the highest standard available from any manufacturer.
>>14784141
The highest API standard, maybe, but API is definitely NOT the only place for an oil spec to be written.
>>14784213
Can you recommend a better specification than API?
>>14784228
Not the guy you replied to but Dexos is a good standard

Cross plane for sound flat plane for performance
flatplane obviously
but american crossplane v8's from the 60's get an honorable mention
>>14784118
I prefer crankshaft
^_^
Aside from the Corvette, what are some pre-2000's American cars which had good handling? Was pigfatlolcantturn always just a meme or have American cars only caught up recently?
>>14784011
late model fieros probably
In the 90s we were producing FWD cars with V8s
So the short answer is there are no good handling cars from America in the 90s
I come to you again like the true faggot I am.
I am the pleb with the 5.9l durango from last week, and I need your help again.
My car was idling all sorts of fucked up when I came to a stop, it occasionally stalled. It seemed to only occur when it was warming up.
It's normal idle is 600 rpms, but when the issue occurred it would jump up to like 800, and immediately drop to 300, and then occasionally stall.
After hours of research and input from /o/ it sounded like the issue was the IAC valve.
I replaced the IAC valve, the old one was fucked up and gross.
The car ran fine this morniing, and then on my way home when the car got warmed up, the idle spiked and dropped again once at a red light, and then started to chug when I accelerated after the light turned green.
I got home and let it idle for about 25 minutes and it dropped to 450 rpms twice while just sitting.
It seems to occur when the car reaches normal operating temp, or just before.
What the fuck else could be causing this? I'm seeing elsewhere that it could be the EGR valve, but the symptoms that supposedly had is rough idle all the time, which isn't what's happening with me.
Any help would be hugely fucking appreciated.
>>14783964
It could be the egr is only partly clogged. Also clean you maf sensor and your throttle body.
I had a ZJ with that motor and now I have a Ram with that motor.. Big PITA truck runs OK but I had a problem simililar to what you are describing and I tried everything under the sun to fix it but it did that until I sold it.
>>14783978
I honestly don't know the answer to this, so I'm not questioning you, I'm just questioning this fucking car, but could those things you listed really cause it to fuck up at idle one time and then be OK for another 30 minutes?
It also seems to happen much worse when I'm actually driving it. Rarely does it ever show the same symptoms when I'm just stopped idling in park.
Is this why gas feels so underpowered on my V8?
how the fuck can gasoline feel underpowered

Is the Dodge Charger our only option for a new highway cruiser?
I just want to roll like a mean man down the highway in a big ass car with a big ass engine and an automatic transmission.
I don't want a crossover because I'm not a mom. I don't want a truck because I'm not a punk. I don't want an executive sedan because I am a man of the people.

Is it okay to use regular water to flush your cooling system? I've usef flushing compound and then distilled water three times but I still got brown shit coming out and it's taking forever plus I'd have to go and buy another can.
No it will melt your radiator.
here's how to do it quick
>garden hose straight into reservoir
>pop drain plug
>turn on water
>turn on car
>>14782840
That would probably work, but your car would need to be stone cold.
A guy I used to work with has a 1990 Toyota Celica GT. I rode in it a few times, most fun I've ever had riding in a car. With tax return season upon us and having some money saved up, I've decided I'd like to get a similar vehicle. Something small but really fast and zippy, on the cheaper side (under $4000 give or take), manual transmission, and something that I could easily mod or fix. I have some minor experience working on cars, so this car would be a backup/fun car/car I can learn to drive stick with and lastly a car that I could work on and gain some more experience working on cars. I really liked his Celica but I don't have my heart set on one, but I'd like something similar. I have a car in good working order so this purchase would just be a fun fixer upper. Any recommendations would be awesome!
>>14782305
what is your zip code? i'll check surrounding CL and post suggestions
>>14782305
I'd just like to say that if the most fun you've had is in a 90s Celica you lead a very sad life.
Good luck with the car search

>>14781734
Have you talked to the seller? Maybe work something out with them. Also don't be in a rush to buy a car. You may miss something in rushed setting that you would catch taking your time. Or can you take a day off and go sooner?
>What can I do
Nothing.
>>14781755
Only thing I have talked about is price and such, he sent me like full overview etc so its pretty official and he knows i'm serious.
I just dont feel like being a retard and go like "put the car aside for me, i'm transferring money now"
I sadly have too much shit to do these following days :( so can't even take a day off
