Does anyone know the degree I need to torque the timing to so I can begin fixing this problem?
#15 of 41 Additives (fuel, etc.) by dakotadriver Apr 21, 2008 (1:39 pm)
Has anyone ever heard of Ethos Fuel Reformulator? Allegedly increases mileage by up to 19 - 20%, lowers emissions, and lubricates and cleans internal parts (for more power, smoother running engine, longer lasting engine, etc.) I've watched some of the testimonials (including one from Al Unser from NASCAR) and numerous testimonials from people running trucking firms, etc. They also include local TV station stories on this product showing emissions test before and after, etc. My question is: would this harm the car in any way that you can think of? I normally do not believe any claims of better mileage and such but this one seems to be different from a lot of the other products out there in that I have not found any negatives online like you can for most other products advertised as doing the same thing, and the emission testing results on the videos from Las Vegas and Dallas local news seem to be confirming the claims (with increased mileage). I feel like trying it out but I do not want to cause any damage to my engine. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Apr 22, 2008 7:27 am)

Replying to: dakotadriver (Apr 21, 2008 1:39 pm) 20%?   Maybe if you add 3.38 gallons of the stuff to your tank (i.e. 20% of the fuel tank capacity).
#18 of 41 97 Outback Sport adding transfer case fluid by paulman Sep 07, 2008 (6:09 pm)
I need to add fluid to the transfer case, but do not know how. Can this be done fairly easily, or must it be done by a mechanic? Thanks, Paul Replies to this message: xwesx (Sep 08, 2008 12:37 pm) paulman (Sep 13, 2008 6:38 am) paisan (Sep 15, 2008 5:20 pm) and 3 more...

Replying to: paulman (Sep 07, 2008 6:09 pm) Transfer case.... the center differential? What is it, auto trans or manual? It is easy either way, just a different point of entry for the two types, as the manual's center differential shares its fluid with the transmission.

Replying to: xwesx (Sep 08, 2008 12:37 pm) Sorry, I've had a few Ford trucks and it's called a transfer case, as you know. It's an automatic and the car seems to "hop" a bit when I make slow, sharp turns. It was fixed last time by the mechanic addind fluid to the center diff. I want to do it myself. Do you know how to add fluid? Replies to this message: paisan (Sep 15, 2008 5:20 pm) paulman (Sep 19, 2008 5:03 pm) paisan (Sep 22, 2008 6:15 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: paulman (Sep 13, 2008 6:38 am) On an automatic there is 3 places to check for fluid.   Front Diffy, which is the PASSENGER SIDE behind engine, in engine bay. Transmission/center diffy, which is DRIVER SIDE behind engine, in engine bay. Rear Diffy, which is in the back on the actual diffy.   Front and rear Diffy takes 70-90 GL5 Gear Oil Trans takes ATF (I suggest Amsoil or Redline High Temp ATF)   -mike Replies to this message: paulman (Sep 19, 2008 5:03 pm) paisan (Sep 22, 2008 6:15 pm) paulman (Oct 12, 2008 1:35 pm)
