Octane issue: I have been burning the lower octane level gas since I got my 2003 XRS 6speed. I haven't found any difference at all. I prefer too use Chevron...
... Yes. Just forward of your left shin, when in the driving position. Get your head down there, you can't miss it. Very simple ... just push the connector...
If this is true let us know please, it would be worth buying given the cost of gas! Getting to the port is a squeeze, I have to lie on my back to insure the...
The hypermiling techniques posted at http://www.cleanmpg.com/ have allowed me to increase my MPG to 37 for driving around town. Apparently the scan guage will...
nice, but these are techniques we knew about to reduce engine rpms and still get moving, e.g. coasting versus running on gas, avoiding stops and sudden starts...
... Lots of hypermilers at the CleanMPG forum swear by the ScanGuage, noting that it gives instantaneous mpg readings and a ten to 15 percent increase in your...
I see! This is pretty much what many luxury cars have that are shown in their dashboards. I have driven an R500 Mercedes for hundreds of miles and going via...
Yes, consider this, if you get 30 mpg and now make 40 mpg, per 10 gal tank load you save 2.5 gal or $8.5, and get 100 mi more per tank load than before. To...
Oddly enough, they were showing this unit and talking about the tricks in improving gas mileage on CNN this morning. So I guess the word is out. Bill H....
I noticed in the review that the ScanGuage doesn't have access to a direct fuel flow measurement (it's not part of OBDII) but rather it calculates fuel usage...
Hi guys, I took my 05 Matrix into Jiffy Lube a while back for an oil change. They told me I needed to have my serpentine belt replaced. They offered to do it...
... It cost me $117 for the job at the dealership last week, so it depends on what the tool costs. They found mine while was in for the front window recall...
Thanks Rick. Actually they showed me several small cracks on the underside of the belt. Althought he belt seems to be thick and the cracks are small I just...
... I admit I'm biased against Jiffy Lube kinds of places to do any kind of work beyond oil and filters--hell, even when I specifically told them that my Prius...
I guess I should check to see how much oil my matrix is supposed to hold huh? I've heard horrible things can happen to your engine block if the oil pressure is...
... We finally got that front window bolt recall notice on the matrix that's been talked about a lot on this list. -- Rick Kennerly Virginia Beach, VA ...
... It took me 5 minutes to replace the belt myself. Not sure what the big deal is. You do need a long-arm breaker-bar to reach down to get on the tensioner...

If it's a 2ZZGE, with new filter, 5 quarts is perfect. You'd be shocked how easy it is. If you have a small cap-type filter wrench (to use with your socket...
... I guess I missed something earlier in this thread. I didn't use a "factory tool" to get at the tensioner wheel to effect the serpentine belt swap out. It...
So, did you have some sort of "star" shaped wrench or did you just force it with something else? And if you have a wrench that fits it, do you happen to...
... I don't remember what I did, but I didn't force or fudge anything. I'd have to go out there and look again and size things up. My Matrix isn't handy here...
I thought this article would be interesting for the group. Aged tires sold as new. From what I learned, most tires have a self life of 6 - 7 years from date of...
