Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 10, 2009 6:12 pm) Yeah, I know, but dead dino rolls off the tongue so much nicer. (heh, Tides beat me to it). Consider it my little homage to Sinclair Gas.   Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 11, 2009 9:07 am)

Replying to: almarky (Oct 10, 2009 6:11 pm) Some car radios stay on after the key is removed until the door is shut. I don't know if your 'Nox is like that but the problem with the door locks could be causing the radio not to get the door shut signal. So the radio may otherwise be working normally.   Maybe check for other fuses? And try cleaning the contacts on the doors and lift gate with a pencil eraser or something.   I can't figure out how the dead turn signals are connected to the door problem though.

Replying to: steve_ (Oct 10, 2009 7:15 pm) Fair enough. I was just worried about all those leftover bones in your gas tank clogging your fuel filter.

Is it ok to go with the computer engine oil schedule with the oil you get on a regular oil change at the dealership? From the factory they do not use syntheric right? Replies to this message: dmathews3 (Oct 19, 2009 2:21 am)

Replying to: wifes07aveo (Oct 18, 2009 8:19 pm) GM claims the computer for the oil is pretty accurate and I have used it now for a number of years on my GM products. I usually change it at about 30% or 6 months whichever comes first.
#1511 of 1523 tires by laserblue Oct 23, 2009 (9:26 am)
My Equinox is a 2005 LT FWD.   How many miles did you get on your original tires?   Mine are "Bridgestone Duelers". I have 40,000 miles on them and always made the rotation at 6,000 miles (more or less). They seem to be good but I'm planning a 6,000 miles trip with 90% highway driving.   Should I change them before leaving?

Replying to: laserblue (Oct 23, 2009 9:26 am) My wife drives an 08 and it only has 7k miles, I was thinking of getting the tires rotated every other oil change. about every 8-10k miles. If they are in good condition I would not change them. just my opinion but if you are thinking about changing the tires anyway, why not?

Replying to: laserblue (Oct 23, 2009 9:26 am) I have a relative that owns an 06 LT FWD and replaced his at 40K. My 06 LT2 AWD has 40K and is past due for tires. If the red line on the tread is showing it means u r down to 2/32 tread and it's time for new ones. If u r not to that point the tires still have some life left.

Replying to: laserblue (Oct 23, 2009 9:26 am) Also have 2005 LT FWD. Now have 63,000 miles on it. Replaced original tires at 54,000 miles. Drive about 80% highway. Rotated at every Maint 1/2 Service per Computer (about every 5-6k miles). Kept pressure at 35lbs.
