1999 Washington Post Articles:

Run That One By Me Again

There are questions that some drivers ponder at great length, which leads to the eternal question. Why? Here are a few good ones.

If an oil filter will fit into the space, can you use a different part number than the one that’s recommended? LA. Sure, why not? Could part numbers be created only to consume paper? Perhaps oil filter companies buy paper company stocks. That would mean oil filter companies want bigger catalogues, which would require more paper, which would mean higher stock dividends. I don’t think so!

NO, NO, NO, NEVER. Different part numbers denote external and internal characteristics such as size, flow rate, bypass pressure, valving. The rule, if all else fails, read and follow directions.

How will you know your substitution didn't work? Why, when you’re paying for your new engine of course. Ah yep!

If I change my headlamps to halogen eighty or hundred watt units will they melt my plastic housings? MA. Commercial Three Baybably not, but your ticket could melt your bank balance.

They’re only legal for use off road. Federal and state laws limit the wattage to a maximum of fifty-five. There is one absolute guarantee that comes with these bulbs; the first car you flash will be a police car. Oops!

Why are all cars wired wrong? Headlamps stay on after the car is turned off leaving millions of drivers with dead batteries. MI. Ah yep, and the doors don’t close themselves leaving the interior lamps on which also drains the battery. Silly engineers.

I didn't get an owner’s manual with the used car I recently bought, should I read it anyway? KS. Absolutely, positively, by all means, please do.

Is there a direct correlation between vehicle paint color and how long its engine will last? IL. I’m not sure but I have noticed that cars with polka dot paint seem to have engines that wear a long, long time. Is that why you can’t buy a car from the factory with polka dot paint? Ah yep, just one more indication of the great car company caper to sell more cars.

I’m the original owner of a 1991 Ford Escort 1.9-liter engine and fuel injection. The other day I opened the hood for the first time. It doesn't have a distributor cap or rotor! It runs fine without them; do I need to install a cap and rotor? PA. Nah, why bother? Eight years without opening the hood? Ain't no help for it now. It’s Commercial Three Baybably running on devotion.

My 1981 Buick LeSabre has a bad carburetor. My mechanic did a complete rebuild on it but said there weren't enough places to reinstall all the parts he had taken out. I’m confused, please help! WY. You’re confused? Ah yep, maybe the Cookie Monster crept in and stole the places for those parts while your mechanic wasn't looking.

I own an ‘84 Chevy whose steering fluid leaks badly. By using fifty-weight motor oil the leak is much less. To prevent leaks in my new Jaguar’s steering system I’m going to replace its steering fluid with fifty-weight motor oil. What do you think? Good idea?

You may want to use this tip on your show. GA. You want to what? If you've already changed over you will surely make some lucky Jaguar dealer very happy.

Never use any fluid in any part of any car that isn't recommended by the manufacturer. Ah yep!
