    Bought a 2006 and back timing chain rattles for 20 seconds then quits, Tensioner?

    For any engine with high miles I would stick with the recommended viscosity and with a bottle of STP High Mileage Oil Treatment, UNLESS you live in cold weather, then I would drop to 0w(0w-30).

    2010 auto transmission issue..

    The difference is that mine shifts smooth, without issues after it gets going and the RPMs don’t fluctuate, meaning there are zero signs of the trans slipping.. my brother described it as it being low on fluid or a problem with the high pressure solenoid.. (or just the dirty oil, was told these...
