| Answer to: Which Scan Tool Should I Get? | 19Relevance | 4 years ago | Whatchamacallit | How-to | |
| $500-$1,000 Scan tools in this price range do everything the sub-$500 tools can do but also start incorporating bi-directional capability. They tend to all be touchscreen tablet based and have more memory, storage, and processing power and consequently a little faster than the cheaper scan tools. However, free lifetime software updates are no longer offered. Most manufacturers usually offer one year of free software updates, and beyond that you have to pay a yearly fee to keep it up to date. Generally, the more expensive the tool the more expensive t ... | |||||

| Answer to: Scotty, is it safe to leave my all season tires outside for the winters. I have been struggling in my tight apartment and I wanted to free up some space so I’m thinking of storing my seasonal tires outside. Thanks | 19Relevance | 4 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Indoor storage in a climate-controlled environment is always best for tire storage but that is not always possible. Heat, moisture, and UV light exposure are the main things that accelerate deterioration of tires. Heat won't be an issue during winter. If you store the tires in tightly sealed opaque plastic bags in an area shaded from direct sunlight you should be OK. | |||||

| How do I start up a 1980 Ford Fairmont that has been sitting outside for years? | 19Relevance | 3 years ago | Wallum | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... in 1999, the odometer read about 60,000 miles. Currently, it reads about 140,000 miles. Before storage, it was running well, and I had replaced all the fluids and filters. However, I did not otherwise prepare the car for storage, such as adding a fuel stabilizer. Recently, I did an initial inspection of the car. The radiator fluid was empty, but I filled it with a gallon of NAPA extended-life multi-purpose coolant. The master brake cylinder cap was off and under the car. I got it back on, but the brake fluid appears to have absorbed water. The other fluids ... | |||||

| Hi, I put my Mazda 3(2004 Sedan - 2.0 L ) car for Winter storage on 1st Dec 2022, however kept driving every 2 weeks for 30 mins(up until last week without any problems).

| Answer to: General Synthetic and blend oil question | 19Relevance | 4 years ago | MrBob | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... car that had synthetic and the car started to smell like an old car that was burning oil. I went back to pure synthetic and the smell went away. I could not find any leaks but the smell was unmistakable. I think synthetic tends to not break down during long term storage where as conventional does break down and absorb moisture. Your biggest problem is with time during long term storage the various seals are going to dry out. For the difference in price it's not worth it. Stick with pure synthetic and use the weight recommended in the owners manual. Respon ... | |||||
