Engine noise by harrisblack

Does anyone hear a noise coming from the engine when it is cold outside? It disappears when it is warm outside or when the engine warms up.

Have you ever determined where the noise came from, or have you ignored it?

No, I've never really dug into it. What noise are you hearing?

The Walmart Superstores in Metairie and Hammond Louisiana don't carry the air filter (FRAM number CA-9969). Do they stock it in the area that you live?

I just wanted to inform people on the proper care of the exterior of a car. First miss conception is people don't think cars need to be waxed. Cars today are clearcoated which is just clear paint, it's not special paint. They need to be washed and waxed just like cars without clearcoat did, with the exception of compounding.
To keep a car always looking like new a car should be washed atleast twice a month and waxed every 3 months. Proper car waxing is to use a silicone wax such as Meguiar's NXT wax and then a day or 2 later a layer of pure canuba wax as P2S1. Not only will your car shine like new be will be protected from all the elements . Just thought I'de pass this on.

I think the frequency depends on whether or not the car is garaged at home and if it sits outside all day in a parking lot at work or is under cover. I'm retired so I usually wax cars about once a year. Washing is very important. Cars should be washed frequently.
