    Ignition Coils

    How Many Miles Do You Have?

    I personally recommend changing a new vehicles oil very early to remove any factory assembly line debris that can cause engine damage. There is no Teflon in synthetic or dead dinosaur oils unless the motorist were to use a can of one of the many pour-in Teflon oil additives. I'm sure the...

    Click in Engine

    It depends on the cause of the noise and there's no way to diagnose that over the Internet, beyond taking a wild guess. How many miles does the engine have on it? Is this tick constant or is it only at start up? Using thicker oil is a big no-no and will cause accelerated engine wear, a...
