O'Reillys. Pic related.

>>14694206
Funnily enough, I found from the Wix supplier that all CarQuest Blue series filters are Wix Gold filters rebranded. AutoZone are STP rebrands, and O'Reilly are a Fram design.

As for parts, I like Napa lately because they actually have listings for the parts I need. O'Reilly did have my header bolts, but the staff was so incompetent at finding parts, the store manager offered me a position. I declined and got 10% off an already low supplier price.

Pic related is a good example, they were not that low.

I need some help /o/
I did some research but ill ask you fags anyway
I tried starting my car but all it does is sort of clicked and dash lights fades. The car is not on the road yet but i start it atleast twice a week. I checked the battery terminals and i saw pic related. What are some ways to clean corrosion? Will this solve my problem or do i need a jump or maybe a whole new battery?
33 posts and 3 images submitted.
>>
Yep. Battery is done.

Wire brush and water mix with baking soda to neutralize any acid. Check the voltage, if less than 12.5 volts try to put it on charge and try to start it again.

Which should I get for my first car? The truck isn't the exact one I'm looking at, but I really like both.

Both. There's really no comparison. What are the roads you'll be driving on like? There's your answer.
>>
>first car

The truck, since you're less likely to put it into a tree at 160. Also because it will be easier to maintain and can deal with it when you hop a curb.

Alright /o/, forgive me, I'm a computer guy not a car guy and I don't know very much about cars. But I need help settling a debate.
A buddy of mine recommended running 93 octane in my brand new car (2015 impreza sport) because he said it's cleaner gas and keeps the compression system cleaner than 85 octane.
My car does not require it, but also doesn't say anything at all about not using it. I've been using it without a problem, I've noticed it drives a little "snappier" and it's much easier to accelerate onto the highway.
The question is: am I helping or hurting my car? I don't mind spending the extra few cents a gallon since gas is so cheap right now. But I also don't want to do damage, as I've read some shit saying that can fuck up your car if it doesn't require it.
Help me out, br/o/thers.

Your friend doesn't know what he's talking about.
Use the manufacturers suggested fuel, it'll be in your manual.
If it fucking tells you to use 93, then use 93.

If you don't believe me, check out this video;

It burns quicker and more completely, providing better throttle response, cleaner combustion, and greater fuel economy. It may also wear your engine a bit quicker, not enough to be of any notice though. A brand new Impreza sport had better be able to handle it or you've got a serious issue to take up with Subaru.

holy shit, based kilmer

i remember watching his youtube videos on cars SO LONG AGO, when i didnt know shit.

i fucking love that guy. but in this vid you posted he sounds and looks like he's finally aging. even so, hes got that energetic and down to business style that i fucking love.

Should the whole back deck/rear quarters be replaced or do you think a pack on that crack would be more than good enough? There's a dent in the top center, a smaller crack on the driver side and then the big crack on the passenger side quarter. What does /o/ think?

Those F150's hit hard...

cut and patch that dude. That looks like a really easy fix

OP here, I know this is a hard question to answer but whats a rough ballpark of what I could expect to pay to have the rest of the car painted while it's in for repair? The only things left to pain her the doors, hood and T-tops, the front clip and bumper are already painted, and the rear bumper and back deck will need to be painted.

I know that's hard to guess something like that, but I literally have no idea.

Do the simpsons cars need an update?

When the simpsons first came out in 1998 it made sense for their family cars to have steel bumpers.

It suggested that the cars were from the at least the late 70s and kinda old and crappy.

In 2016 homer having a car with steel bumpers suggests he owns a classic car.

I have a 2004 Honda Accord, that I recently did an oil change on. The Honda seems to have started burning through oil recently, and when I did the oil change there was about 3 qts left in the engine.

I changed the engine filter thinking that would be the issue. I then, started the car, and noticed it was giving off white smoke from the tail pipe. The car doesn't stall, or have issues ideling, and black residue is coming from the tailpipe was well.

Any ideas what this could mean

Is it smoke or water vapor?

>>14692134

Probably broken cylinder head gasket. Does your exhaust gas smell "sweet"? Is there oil in your coolant fluid? Then you know enough.
>>
>>14692142
I believe it is smoke, but it doesn't smell sweet. I am going to check the radiator again.
