    Have an oil leak around oil filter

    I'm glad you found it in time. It seems the long time it took to find and correct the same problem on my car had taken it's toll. Compression tests have found the cylinders to be very worn and there's a low but constant clanking. My hope for a world record in car mileage has been dashed. On the...

    Engine Spark Plug Recommendations

    I replaced the spark plugs on a '006 GT that had 115,000 miles. (You can say it's almost 200k the way this one is driven!)

    Have an oil leak around oil filter

    After a oil change by a dealer I noticed an oil leak on an '06 GT. The dealer said they couldn't find the source, on two separate occassions. Their sister dealership found the leak to be the oil filter adapter - a $500 repair. It's a slow leak, pint every 2.5 weeks. Since I don't have another...
