Environmental effects
Studies of the Exxon Valdez oil spill have shown that the environmental damage caused by oil spills can be greater than was previously thought. It is now thought that the impacts to marine life can be evident at less than one part per billion petroleum hydrocarbons. The lighter fractions of petroleum, such as benzene and toluene, are more toxic, but are more volatile and evaporate quickly. Heavier components of crude oil, such as polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) appear to cause the most damage; while they are less toxic, they persist in the environment much longer than volatile components.

I have a 91 Honda civic 1.5 l engine automatic.with a oil problem?
I have a 91 Honda civic 1.5 l engine automatic with 125,000 miles.with a oil problem i just recently switched over to castrol syntec blend and before that i used normal penzoil 10w 30 now i use castrol syntec 10w 30.i did the oil change and whatever but the drain plug seemed old .now there is a little oil under the car (on the oil pan) and it slighty leaks.do you think it is the older looking oil drain plug?I just did my oil change about 900 miles ago.should i wait till 1500 to change the plug oil and filter?or just keep adding oil till 3000 It is practicly nothing that it leaks like the size of a 50 cent coin once in a while.like the size of a dime once every two days.on the oil dip stick where should the oil be up to?My friend has a 97 Honda prelude and he put castrol syntec when he hit 100,000 he told me that he also his car leaked when he made the transition to syntec.he also said it burned a little fast till the car became accustomed to it Thank you ALL!I have a 91 Honda civic 1.5 l engine automatic.with a oil problem?
On all Honda's that year a crush washer is used to seal the drain plug. They can be reused a few times but more than likely it needs a new one. If your drain plug looks worn replace it too. If by any chance the threads are stripped out, you'll need to replace the pan or get it repaired. I would advise going to a Honda dealer. Plus I would advise using Valevoline 10-30. Honda builds the best motors in the world. That means using basic high grade oil and the cheapest gas you can find. Never add any additives to the oil or fuel. Regular tune ups and valve adjustments plus 1 or 2 timing belts and water pumps will take that engine well over 200K miles. Don't forget air and fuel filters on tune ups.

Car problems after oil change; gas?
i have a 05 magnum and i got a oil change yesterday. when i left, i noticed my oil light was on so i turned around. and when got back my car was smokin. i lost 2 quarts of oil. they said the problem was their mistake. they didn't do something to the oil filter that they was suppose to.do. and every since then i notice my car been using more gas than usual. way more. anyone know what maybe the problem b4 i take it back tomorrow?Car problems after oil change; gas?
Shade tree is mostly right. The oil filter being lose or having been double gasketed would just let oil out and cause alot of smoking. As long as you kept oil in it and caught the problem it should be no big deal. However it is possible while cleaning the engine and looking around in there they knocked off a vaccum line, or leaned on one and broke it.
It has happened to me before.Car problems after oil change; gas?
It really doesn't appear to be related.
I suspect that they simply forgot to tighten the filter or perhaps the gasket was missing on the new filter - in any event, it sounds like they rectified that problem, which really should have nothing to do with your fuel consumption.
If they had inadvertently disconnected an HEGO or some other electronic sensor, for instance, you would have a check engine light on.
probaly double gasketed the oil filter.......happens alot . but i agree with the other guy, appears now you are looking for something.....this happened yesterday and you have allready noticed a drop in gas mileage.....wow
It was probably because they didn't tighten the oil filter but all that would do is squirt the oil on your exhaust thats why it was smoking and they would have had to top up the oil. Other than that nothing could have happened . If its using more gas it's probably because your looking for something ,, sorry and it won't use more gas because of this.The bottom of your car most likely got a free oiling too.
Derrick-
Just for the record, this is one of many reasons I don't use the Quick Lube Shops, (Jiffy Lube, Quick Tune, Snappy Lube or Oil Can Henry's).
I used to work in a Snappy Lube. These places have a gurantee that say if your oil change takes longer than 20 minutes, your next one is free.
Yeah, uh after the ';1,2,3 Cork It'; routine that we had to do I decided it was time to relocate myself to a Chevrolet Dealership and remain there. Needless to say, I can sleep at night knowing my customers are not coming back upset and mad because their engine decided it was tired of dirty oil.
I am going to have to side with the other guy and say its either a double gasket, (which happens when the moron in the pit does not check the filter mount). Or they installed the incorrect filter on your vehicle.
In some cases, the incorrect filter can cause a back pressure problem that will pop the diaphragm in the oil pressure sensor.
Personally, I would have them NOT do any more work on your vehicle and take that baby to Dodge and have them take a good look at your vehicle. This way, any damage that ';Jiffy Jack's Lube Shack'; did to your vehicle can be covered by them and their deep pockets.
Good Luck!
I would take it back to them and shove it up their *** make them re-emburse you for gas and the oil change etc.
Its their fault it happend they even admitted it.

98 jetta oil pump problems! help!!?
wen we start the car. instead of marking the oil pressure it has the oil pressure blank (dashboard).. but then after the car heats up it does show the oil pressure. is this normal!!?? maybe I need a new oil pump.? any answers or ideas will be greatly appreciated thanks =)98 jetta oil pump problems! help!!?
check your oil level first and foremost.
Also you should check if the type of oil you're using in your car is factory spec. Oil when it heats up becomes more and more watery(lower viscosity). Thinner oils such as SAE 5 or 5W30 may not be thick enough to allow your engine's oil pump to push them through properly after they heat up to your engine's operating temperature which would cause your oil pressure light to come on. So try putting in a 10W30 in when you change your oil next.
I'm 99% sure it's not your oil pump. If it was, your engine would probably already be dead.

1996 honda civic engine oil problem?
my civic is always out of engine oil, i keep putting it in but after 2 weeks its gone.1996 honda civic engine oil problem?
You're either burning it or leaking it. Are there stains or puddles of oil in your driveway? If not, it's burning oil. And if you're burning through QUARTS in 2 weeks, then the car should be obviously smoking and smelling.
********************
If it is leaking, then yes, it would leak while you were driving. But to be losing that much oil so quickly, you would also see puddles or stains by parking it even for a few minutes.
It has to be one or the other: leaking or burning.

Will using 10w30 oil instead 5w30 on my 2003 Camry create any problems?
Will using 10w30 oil instead 5w30 on my 2003 Camry create any problems? Is there any long term problems. My manual says to use 5w30 but is 10w30 that much of a difference.Will using 10w30 oil instead 5w30 on my 2003 Camry create any problems?
Unless you live in an extremely cold climate I wouldn't be concerned about it. The #10 and the #5 refer to viscosity, the resistance/ability to flow. The lower the number the greater ability for the oil to flow at colder temperatures. Not of great concern if you live in Arizona, but then again matters greatly in the northern provinces, or Alaska for that matter. You ';should'; follow the manufacturers recommendation...always buy a good quality oil the additives are better in the higher priced oils ......... to me that mattersWill using 10w30 oil instead 5w30 on my 2003 Camry create any problems?
Use it,it wont make a scrap of difference.
no alex,its just a little heavier oil thats all.i got a 88 olds. and thats what i use all the time.it wont hurt it.
The first number is the lower viscosity. A higher viscosity oil won't be able to run in as cold a temperature because it can't get as thin. I would think that is the only difference.
use 10w30 in temperate climates or southern states where it never freezes during the winter. Use 5w30 in colder climates or northern states.
Personally I wouldn't give it a second thought unless the car was NEW and still under warranty. Then only to comply with the letter of the instructions provided by the manufacturers. The only time in my life that I ever insisted on 5W anything was during the winter months in Fairbanks Alaska. It did make a difference during start-up when the temperature was -30 F or colder. If you don't live in an area with that sort of extreme temperature it should not be a problem of any sort, now or later...
Perfectly fine if its a few degrees above freezing...., below I would use 5w-30 for the best possible cold temp startup oil flow.... (means less engine wear) or go for the ultimate and use a synthetic 0w-30....
And as for 10w-30 shortening engine life. Its what my car made in 1980 spec'd......, and its still running... and fine I might add on the original engine.
YES!! Major problems. During any cold start-up your engine will not get the lubrication it requires. Using 10 v 5 will greatly reduce your engine life.
Most engines wear most during the first few seconds of start-up.
The question is, why would you use a non-recommended oil?
check the temperature rating for the oil.
if you get winter snow in your area you should stick with the recommended oil.
In my mind there is no difference. I use 10W30-10W40- or what's on sale as long as it's Castrol Gt. Full synthetic in my BMW. Warm climates or summer use a heaver oil winter use a thinner oil. 5w30 in winter and 10w30 in summer
Possibly slower initial circulation/accelerated engine wear in a very cold climate.
Besides that, no problem at all.
HAH! There's a guy that uses 5w30 in a BMW? Don't most of them specify 20w50?
Every manufacturer recommends specific viscosity for a reason. Oil passages are different sizes, differences in pumps, other basic design things. There is usually a good reason to stick with manufacturers recommendations.
The only difference is the thickness of the oil 5w30 is thinner than 10w30 but not by much. It will make very little difference in how your car runs only the oil pressure may be higher from the thicker oil but if your manual says use 5w30 then use it there is no or little price difference.

Is the problem really oil, or the falling us fed note?
All prices have risen, for all goods services and commidities, is it hard to see the problem? I beleive we need monitary reform, a sound real value economy as per the constitution, do you agree?Is the problem really oil, or the falling us fed note?
The problem is caused by oil speculators who basically hold everyone to ransom and profit from their misery.
Speculating on ';futures'; should be better regulated to reduce the problem.Is the problem really oil, or the falling us fed note?
No, although this certainly would help in a lot of areas. Taking the dollar off the gold standard was a catalyst that opened the floodgates of ruin.
Inflation, by the way, is NOT an increase in prices, it is the increase in the money supply by the Fed, which in turn devlaues the dollar and causes the prices to rise (more dollars chasing the same amount of goods and services). So when the Fed raises interest rates to combat the inflation which the Fed created itself, the consumer is hit twice on opposite sides of the head. This is how government robs the individual.
Oil prices are affected by a totally outside factor, mainly the huge and growing demand for oil from India and China. There is almost nothing the US can do about massive populations in those countries guzzling up oil like a sponge, which is the primary cause for the run-up in gas prices in the West.
The problem is the terrorists are actually winning the war which was to weaken our economy. Many people have forgotten why they did the horrific act on the US. It was to scare us and create an economic downfall. The war has added to our poor economy because of the high cost of warfare both economically and emotionally. The oil prices have risen creating a domino effect to the economy. We need a new President that sees what is happening and stops it before the damage becomes any greater.
Do you realize that this is a very complicated moment in the global economy. You want to reduce it to one factor, but sorry,
the overall picture is more intricate. Try availability of oil as compared to swelling industrial population, as compared to loss of arable land and potable water, as compared to runaway speculation, as compared to a general public that is psychotically addicted to wasteful lifestyles.
The problem lies with the economic revolutions taking place in China and India. Oil is becoming more and more valuble and OPEC is selling out to them, thus making transportation of goods more expensive. To compensate the companies raise their prices in order to make sure they dont do broke. The falling US note is a combination of a housing crisis, the lost of trust of overseas stockholders, and an unpopular president.
The problem is the fact that the people who run this country (and no, I don't mean the president, congress, or anyone else in politics - I mean the giant corporations that BUY off the people in politics) don't care about average, everyday people. They run this country and the people in it like puppets - and when you make billions of dollars, do you really care if gas triples in price? Probably not.
That really didn't answer your question, but I felt I needed to vent. lol
Read this book - The Energy Non-Crisis by Lindsey Williams - he will enlighten you on this subject
But we learned in middle school that when you print more money it is worth less - And what has the fed done the past 7 years - printed several trillion in new currency with nothing to back it up that = INFLATION
I think that there are several major problems causing the economy to be the way it is.
I'll tell you what I believe the biggest one is...foreign imports. People are shipping products into this country for one fifth of the price we can make it for.
Time magazine several years ago ran a year long series that a diiferent factory or workplace overseas and what they produced and how much their people earned in wages. They showed Barbie dolls being made by this HUGE factory full of burka headed women. These women were making a couple of dollars a day and putting out hundreds of Barbie dolls a day.
Man was the Mattel company making a killing here as does any company operating overseas. I think it's outrageous
to have products coming into this country for ridiculously low prices. Yes it's nice to be greedy and pay those low prices but look what it's done to our job market. We have lost so many jobs to overseas firms and factories.
I'm a steelworker from the Ohio Valley and foreign imports have killed the steel industry in the U.S. Whenever a steelworker talks about the situation all we hear is the cry...';Protectionism - protectionism!';
So what? Is it wrong to want to protect American jobs? I think that if all those thousands of products were to come back home to be produced we would have a whole new economy. Imagine if TV's were made here. Or VCR's. Or computers. Or all those toys we buy at Christmas for the kids.
Our economy has suffered greatly because of loss of jobs.
And don't even get me started on NAFTA. Uh....you know what? I have to go take a break. I'm starting to upset myself.
Catch you later!

I mean what where paying now is similar to what it would cost to make the switch, so why not and keep the money in house.
i do agree with you
2.3 ford engine oil pressure problems?
when first start no oil pressure,but later it gets it2.3 ford engine oil pressure problems?
What everyone has said so far is true, but it could also be something as simple as a bad sending unit (the piece that sends info to your gauges) or even a bad gauge.2.3 ford engine oil pressure problems?
Oil pump is weak and bad. Replace it before you have to replace the whole engine!
Check your oil level first, and make sure you have the recommended amount in. Next, look under your car and check for major oil leaks, because those can cause a drop in pressure.
You will have to give us the mileage on that engine. Your oil pump might be worn or the incorrect oil in the engine. 2.3 are older engines so the bearings might be worn out also.
Could be as simple as a clogged oil filter,Fram filters suck, dont use them EVER.Change your oil and filter,Also keep checking oil level, low oil levels will do that also,and the oil pump could be goin bad.
Its not just your engine... i have a 1993 ford probe GT and anouther 1993 ford probe GT with a 96 engine and thay both have oil pressure it moves around and usually stays low... but its just the Ford Engine them selfs. (( Just blame ford. ))
the first thing i would do is change the sending unit.

Oil pumping problems annoying?
having a problem with my 1974 pontiac v8 400 engine, oil is getting pumped to drivers side rocker arms and pushrods perfectly fine with good oil pressure but im getting a very annoying tick on the passenger side and there is no oil coming out of pushrods at all, wondering if anyone has any knowledge or suggestions if you have questions just e mial me wolfmanjr40@yahoo.comOil pumping problems annoying?
The tick is a lifter knock, which means it's low on oil. The movement of oil to the heads is for someone else to answer.Oil pumping problems annoying?
It may sound like a spun bearing either one of the crank bearing or possible cam bearings or connecting rod bearing.Something along in that dept., may be the cause of it.You engine bearings create the oil pressure in the bearings if one is spun or so it won't take much longer before the engine says good bye and possibly sends a rod through the side of the engine block.I had the same thing happen soon after I heard that 2 of the rods went out the side of the block and snaped the connecting rods in 2 pieces.Do a oil pressure test with a gage and a compression test of each cylinder.If one cylinder is 20lbs lower than from the highest reading it time for a rebuilt engine.hgm20002000@yahoo.com

If the oil pump in my car malfunctions; what problems can happen to my car?
Malfunctions or fails?
A malfunction could mean it still works but oil pressure is low. If its a failure then there is no oil pressure at all.
The low oil pressure isn't good but its better than none at all. No pressure means no oil circulation. This means oil isn't getting to any engine parts and this will allow the heat and friction to wear the parts excessively and possibly even seize them up if left untreated.
I had a truck that the oil pump failed in. I don't know how far I drove it before it started to knock, but I didn't notice until I heard the knocking (it had oil pressure guage but I didn't notice it). Once I heard the knocking - I was about 1/4 mile from home, and kept going. I tried to keep the RPM's as low as possible to avoid doing any more damage to the motor than I had to.
Once I replaced the oil pump and ran it again, there was still a very slight knock (not very noticable unless you really were looking for it) but besides that - no real problems.
If your oil pump has malfunctioned or failed - get it replaced ASAP and do not run the engine until then. Any engine running without lubrication will damage it - and though it may not be that bad as in my case, it will still decrease the life of the motor.If the oil pump in my car malfunctions; what problems can happen to my car?
Seize the motor.If the oil pump in my car malfunctions; what problems can happen to my car?
In short? The engine will weld it's self together from the friction of moving parts with no oil to lubricate them.
There are a whole lot of things that happen to the motor if you run it without the oil pump working. NONE of them are good. Basically, all of the moving parts inside the motor will be weakened if not ruined starting with the main, con-rod, and camshaft bearings.
All said and done you'll trash the motor so don't run it without getting it fixed. If you can already hear a knocking noise, it's too late. It'll be cheaper and faster to replace the motor rather than rebuilding it.
motor seize...............no oil pressure no oil no oil no go
Believe me, you DON'T want to find out. Any time the oil light lights up, or the pressure gage reads zero, or you hear a clatter out of the engine. TURN IT OFF and call the tow truck.
Otherwise you may have holes in your engine from flying parts.
You will blow up your motor! Your crank shaft bearings will swell from the heat and lock up on the crank.Then depending on the rpm's that it's running at the time the oil pump quit's,your piston rods can and do, break and go thru the cilinder walls!Thuis,get a new motor!
Low/No oil pressure to engine lubricating system. This WILL damage the ALL the engine's bearings if the engine is run for even just MINUTES without oil pressure.
total engine failure will result
Assuming your car has an oil pressure warning light and you notice the light and stop the engine immediately probably nothing. Otherwise you will likely blow your engine. If the oil pump fails your engine gets no oil. No oil = no lubrication on moving parts = blown engine.

Lawn mower problem: engine oil into the gas can and gasoline into the engine oil can?
I have accidentally put engine oil into the gas can and gasoline into the engine oil can. Can any one tell me how to clean them? I pulled the starter handle several times before I realize this problem. Please help. Thank you very much.Lawn mower problem: engine oil into the gas can and gasoline into the engine oil can?
You clean both the resevoirs by draining and refilling with the proper fuel or oil whichever goes where. It's not that complicated, just messy. The engine will smoke for a while after you restart with good fresh gas in the tank, but that will go away and shouldn't permanently damage anything.Lawn mower problem: engine oil into the gas can and gasoline into the engine oil can?
No need to waste any of it. Just get a container that will hold both, and mix the lot together, then store back in those cans again.
You should know the quantities you started with, so can work out what % mix you have. You need to mix more fuel with this oily mix at a finished ratio of around 30:1 to 50:1.
Just label the tanks you have if they are 2:1 or 1:1 or whatever they are.
Drain the tank in your mower, add a cupful of 100% fuel, and prime it, and start it like that.
Then shut off, and add fuel mix at the correct ratio till full.
It won't harm it any by being too oily - it just won't run.
If it won't start even with 100% fuel - take out the plug and clean it with 100% fuel, then leave to dry, then replace.
If you actually put fuel into the engine oil filler on the mower, you need to drain that completely, leave to air overnight, then refill with the correct grade oil before even trying to start it - it could blow up otherwise.
You have to dump out both cans and start fresh.

Problems from using clove oil?
I have had a toothache for 4 days now, I am on antibiotics but someone told me to use clove oil to ease the pain. Now I have sore on the gums where I applied it. Anyone else experience this and how long does it take to go away? It's extremely painful!Problems from using clove oil?
Ask your dentist how long it should take, after you start the antibiotics, for the pain to stop.
In my experience, the pain from an infected/abscessed tooth, goes away within a few hours of starting the antibiotics. I can't believe that 4 days of continuing pain is ';normal';.

Oil pressure problems with 95 Camaro?
I replaced the oil sending unit on my 95 camaro only to find my oil prssure fluctuating. Cold starts are hard 60+/- seconds with no movement on the oil gage. It starts goes to 70psi until the engine warms up. At operating temp the pressure is 20 to 40psi while driving but drops to 10 psi when hot. Went from 10w30 to 10w40 (new filter and STP) but no change in oil behavior. Dealer suggests oil pump possibly bearings. ~35K on rebuilt motor-new oil pump, bearings. No major engine noise.
Any thoughts would be helpful. Maybe additional checks.Oil pressure problems with 95 Camaro?
Sounds like you have cam or main bearing problems, That's a HV oil pump if it's pumping 60-70 pounds cold and it should pump 40-50 on the road and 20-30 at idle. Loss of pressure that much when the oil gets thin can only be bearings. When did this start? Just all of a sudden? After a hard launch or hi rev?
I would try another oil pressure gauge just to make sure before you call it on the motor. 1 minute of no pressure(dry start) will kill your bearings! If this has happened alot, you need to tear it back down. Check the gauge first and try another sending unit. It is possible to get a bad part.Oil pressure problems with 95 Camaro?
I rebuilt several Chev V8s, I would think you should have oil pressure within 10 seconds of starting, not 60.
Actually the other numbers aren't that unusual, 40 running and 10 at idle sounds about right.
Is this a real pressure guage or the one in your dash?
I don't know that you can read the dash guage and get much from it other than you got pressure or you dont.
You have internal engine problems. I would recommend that you unplug the oil pressure sender and buy a ';For Sale'; sign.air makeup

Oil pressure problems.?
I have a 77' Chrysler Cordoba with a 400 Big Block. I started having this problem with the oil pressure when my Exhaust header gasket blew. I fixed both of them, that's when i noticed the leaky valve cover so I replaced the gaskets in those. I also changed the water pump and thermostat. But I still have the problem but only when the engine warms up and it only drops when I am sitting at a stoplight in drive. I believe that this is making the engine to heat up above normal running temps. Any thoughts? Thanks.Oil pressure problems.?
You have two separate problems, the fist one you need to address is the over heating. Rent a pressure tester at auto zone and doi a pressure test for leaks. If it don't hold pressure and you can't see a leak remove the tester with the cap off start the engine and look for bubbles in the coolent. Bubbles= leaking head gasket or cracked head. If the system holds pressure have a radiator shop clean the radiator. Odds are after you cool it off oil pressure will be OK, if its not replace the pump with a Melling high volume pump. Its easy to change. Its what the filter screws onto you'll know which bolts to take out by the new pump. Change the oil with a new filter before starting the engine.Oil pressure problems.?
It is extremely unlikely that your engine overheating problems are related to anything having to do with oil pressure. You should be focusing on your cooling system. You changed the water pump and thermostat so you are pretty sure those are not causing any problems. That leaves the radiator. Radiators get plugged up and lose their ability to cool. Have someone check the radiator with a flow test. You may have to have it steam cleaned or recored if it is too plugged up. A new radiator may be cheaper in the long run, if still available.
It is normal for oil pressure to drop when idling with a warm engine. Oil is thicker when cold and thinner when hot, this affects oil pressure. Remember that the engine drives the oil pump and the faster the oil pump turns the more pressure you develop. This explains why your oil pressure is lower at idle. Do not worry unless the oil pressure drops below 15PSI. My Dodge 318 oil pressure varied from 20PSI to 45PSI , depending on temp and engine speed.
Depends on what your real pressure is the guages on the Cordoba are not reliable. and oil pressure drop will not cause an engine to over heat, maybe seize do to lack of oil pressure but not enough to over heat, it would seize first
You can try changing the oil pump, because on that engine it's on the outside of block. But you could have a plugged pickup screen, or the engine could simply be tired.
I believe you should have around 40 pounds of oil pressure at idle; if yours has a guage instead of an idiot light, you can check it.

Oil pressure problems in 383 stroker motor?
i have a 350 bored out 60, vortec heads, vortec intake, when i first start my car up it has 50-60 lbs of oil pressure and then as i drive it the pressure falls off to 25-35, when i come to a stop and am sitting still it goes to 0, it makes a knocking/tapping sound at around 2RPMS but stops a little above that and doesn't do it in the lower RPMS under that, when it makes the sound the pressure is in the 25-30 lbs range, i just found out that my intake is cracked from being tightened too tight and antifreeze is coming thru the bolt holes, i just wanted to know if replacing my intake and possibly oil pump would fix this problem, thanks!Oil pressure problems in 383 stroker motor?
oil pump may be fine , make sure that coolant has not contaminated the oil. this will thin it out and cause low press. at low idol. try to redo new intake to spec. torque and change oil %26amp; filter first to see if oil press. returns to normal? if not then you know what is next! good luck!

5 problems an oil spill can cause?
1.) Pollute water
2.) Kill Wild life
3.) cost taxpayer money for clean up
4.) Raise oil/gas prices
well there's 4. dunno if that helps at all.5 problems an oil spill can cause?
Immediate death,Painful death,Slow death,residual death,long term death.5 problems an oil spill can cause?
Environmental effects
Studies of the Exxon Valdez oil spill have shown that the environmental damage caused by oil spills can be greater than was previously thought. It is now thought that the impacts to marine life can be evident at less than one part per billion petroleum hydrocarbons. The lighter fractions of petroleum, such as benzene and toluene, are more toxic, but are more volatile and evaporate quickly. Heavier components of crude oil, such as polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) appear to cause the most damage; while they are less toxic, they persist in the environment much longer than volatile components.

Can an oil consumption problem be due to the vvt malfunctioning?
i got a 2001 celica gt and my motor has been burning 1 quart of oil every 500 miles, can this problem be due to the vvt malfunctioning or something else? let me know.Can an oil consumption problem be due to the vvt malfunctioning?
TOYOTA has major issues with oil usage and engine sludging. They
They were replacing engines for this issue. Probably need major engine work. Remove the valve cover and check for lots of sludge.
Go on line search for toyota engine sludge. They have a major problem.
By the way what the heck is a WT? Never heard of this before.Can an oil consumption problem be due to the vvt malfunctioning?
No
if you dont see the oil on the ground then its normal wear you cant go 200000 miles and have no wear

How many men & women have to die for a war that is not our problem. Oil for our men & women?
So do we have to sacrifice our own people for OIL?
I have been working in the Oil industry for over 30 years and we have plenty! It's not the security of our nation, We have the best security, or at least we use to! Over 3000 dead! How many more have to die? How many more fathers, sons, mothers %26amp; daughters have to die!! Have you lost a loved one?
How the hell do you feel?How many men %26amp; women have to die for a war that is not our problem. Oil for our men %26amp; women?
I hope we don't lose as many as we did liberating an ungrateful nation in World War 2.How many men %26amp; women have to die for a war that is not our problem. Oil for our men %26amp; women?
I feel so angry about this, i have been wanting this war to end for a long time now, recently a good friend of mine was killed by a road side bomb, he left behind his wife of a year and a unbron child...i pray everyday that other families wont have to go through what we are, thats all you can do is pray that our troops come home! this is a pointless war, it needs to just stop. we cant fix a country that has been at war with eachother for hundreds of years
If we were fighting for oil, you might have a point. While that is an easy rumor to spread, it is not backed by any facts. I believe that we had nothing to do with the guys who slammed airplanes into our buildings. They want to kill us. Should we just sit and wait for them again?
Does working in the oil industry include pumping gas?
For some perspective, look at how many Americans had to die for Vietnam (even though it had no oil).
yes we have plenty of oil,but are we drilling for it,and if so will it make a difference if we do not have the refining capacity to convert said oil to fuel,in the 70`s we had over 350 refineries,to day less than 140,and i heard a report that we were importing 13% of U.S. gas consumption already,and for the war,it was over with the defeat of the iraqi army in less then a month,but democrat interfearence prolongs the battles our army is now engaged in,with their preferance of muslim lives over american soldier lives!
War should always remain the last options when it comes to sacrifices values for human beings... Not sure the Iraki really wish to get some American values, so I am pretty sure that the soldiers over there, don't feel motivated to do a job that they feel, brings nothing better to the Iraki...
Oil is more than just money... Of course Bush did get there for this reason, as he could have wait a few more years and think about a better strategy that would have cost less lives...
But now US destiny is link to the Irak reality, the way the US will pull out of Irak will dictate the way the world will work after it... Just hope the world will still work with us than against us, but not sure the rest of the world think the same...
It was never about oil, its about changing the face of the middle east, one regime at a time, to ensure a more peaceful future, and spread democracy. You are near sighted to think this is only about oil
-loose change is a steaming pile of rosie o'donnel
I am so glad you took a stand on this. This is totally about oil and Bush wants to control it. Why do these families have to suffer? Draft the Bush twins and maybe we will drop this stupid war of a the Bush family. I know 2 soldiers who dies in Irag and many more that are there. They all say we shouldn't be there. It is so easy for the news to control who and what they ask about how the Iraqies feel about us.
Fact is to many to get one man,he kept the people in line and the oil flowing,it will go back that way only this time no oil.The real enemy is Saudi Arabia they give the money and teach the hate ,but that's Bush friend.Are we stupid?
Remember Vietnam... quite a few, perhaps half of the Vietnam number but around there.
Remember there was no evidence on Mr. Hussien's links to Al-Qaeyda, and Mr. Bush just wanted a war anyway, according to Tenet, then head of CIA. In fact, I suggest you read his book that just came out on Iraq war. Saddam after sanctions posed zero threat to the US. He HATED Al-Qaeyda. Infact, America could have lifted sanctions in exchange for him hunting down and killing al-qaeyda. In fact people who went to the mosque too often were questioned and imprisoned due to his regime.
I think anybody who links the two just because they were damned sandniggers is simply being racist and not paying attention to facts.
They let everything be looted but the ministry of oil. Haliburton and other oil related businesses took over. Read the Sack of Washington, Vanity Fair, to get the details, an economist's tale for history. Then Project for new american century, but like any analyst will tell you, its a war for oil and stragetic power.
Iraq was yet another colonial war, and the old ';arab face'; british proped up regime was eliminated in falluja and nassariyah and the same battles where fought in the same cities in the 1920s. Before it was a king and now its a parliament, but its an arab face.
So how many poor boys shall die for some rich white guy's colonialist war in foreign soil? Many.
How many 100,000s of Iraqis have died in this colonial war? Many.
As Vera Britten stated, ';War is when the old men send the young men to die.'; Its not like bush fought in the war in Vietnam nor are his daughters in Iraq. Expect what, at least 10,000 more.
I lived through a shock an awe campaign in another middle eastern country. It was a civil war, but I sure hated the guts of the guy sending the missiles into my neighbor hood and turning it into smitherenes, blocks of stone houses disappearing into thin air... btw 9-11 happened after the beginning of the intifadha, when everybody felt angry and impotent... its what war is like. When it happened, I thought, wow, now america is going to be a normal country, a part of the world, and americans are final human, and grieve over their loved ones like the rest of us grieve. Why is it just people in third world countries that experiance violence? Now the rich finally know what its like to live in the ghetto. As it turns out, no, they didn't want to know and blamed the whole thing on the poor that they made poor in the first place. Unemployed Saudis who are unemployed because the American government keeps their ineffeciant, corrupt, abusive government in power became suicide pilots.
If you want to know why 9-11 happened, read Ruben Dario's To Roosevelt, written in 1903, where he predicts the whole thing. Its a story of the french revolution, the world's first terrorists and Mary Antoinette. It sucks.
So you have poor mexican, black and white boys who want a passport or college education dying for Bushy Antoinette's Haliburton. Remember Vietnam + add corruption.
Okay you seem to want a number, so here it is, 10 thousand. Ten thousand military personelle have to die in combat operations to show the United States committment to this or any war, justified or not. BTW, Im interested in getting a job on a rig, could you email me so we could chat a little on that?
How many have to die? As many as it takes for the ';American People'; to say 'enough is enough', as they did for Vietnam.
';Oil for our men %26amp; women?'; Only the ';American Peoples''; conscience can determine how many dead Americans their cars do to the gallon...
have you ever watched loose change 9/11 they are making money off the lives of our soliders someones brother (mine was there twice) sister mother father. god bless our troops
Judging by the obvious uninformed drivel you've displayed, I'm guessing that you've never actually been to Iraq yourself; if you had, you'd know that oil's got nothing to do with it. Not only that--if you actually WERE in the oil industry for as long as you claim, you'd know where most of our oil comes from; little, if any, comes from that part of the world, and certainly not from Iraq. If you're so concerned over the loss of 3,000 people, why aren't you directing your ire at the ones who took the first 3,000 lives in 2001 and started this whole thing? Put the blame where it belongs.
It is not about oil. We have been there for 4 years, so where is this surplus of oil we should have recieved?
And you know, it really IS our problem and thank God that it didn't turn out like it could have. I remember reading about Nevil Chamberlin meeting with Adolph Hitler and returning to England putting their minds to ease saying ';there is no threat';. Six years later... 12 million dead because no one took action.
We took action and DID find WMD's that remember were in possession of a man who used them on even his own people. Now, we are fighting terrorists who even before Iraq, swore to kill Americans and all other infidels. At least we are fighting them over there and not here like they would like.
Start looking toward reality, Read history, Love this country, and ALWAYS be suspicious of those who don't.
Oh, it's NOT our problem huh ?
Wish we could get a quick replacement for oil and get you working in some other industry ... fast food perhaps.
This war is not Vietnam.
A war was started. How it began is not important. Why it began is. Everyone knows the answer to this simple question. But no one wants to admit the truth. As the people in this nation. The majority rules. The minority may complain and argue about the decision made. But we must all accept the decision weather we like it or not.
After the Great Tragedy of 9-11. The majority of the people were consumed by a primal instinct. All logic and reason over powered by revenge. Along with miss information the war in Iraq had begun. Many soldiers died in this war. But finally the war was won. But in wining the war. We opened the door to a Greater Evil. Now the brave and weary soldiers must stay and defend the people of the land they invaded. They must teach the people how to defend themselves against this evil. But this task is not an easy one. Some rebel and refuse to learn from these soldiers, because they invaded their land without reason. Others welcome any and all help they can provide. And there are those who are part of this evil. They work with and help the soldiers. But once confidence is gain. All information they learned is used to destroy our soldiers.
The enemy is no longer in plain sight, like the first war. The enemy is now everywhere and cannot be seen. Now the solders must still trust the people of the land. But must also keep a careful eye on everyone. If they do not trust them they will lose the few people of the land that are helping and who want the help. Frustrated and enervated the solders and the people press on.
The time has passed. And the majority of the people’s revenge has been replaced by regret. Most of the Minority have restarted their arguments and complains to boast to the majority “Who was right and who was wrong”. Now the majority feeling the regret of sending the soldiers to a war that shouldn’t have happened, along with a large part of the minority. Want to bring the solders back home. Not realizing that the evil that was released by the war, would consume the land. And grow to be a greater threat to this nation and to the world.
The final question is no longer why. But how will this conflict end. Will we vanquish this evil that was unleashed upon the land. Or retreat and let the evil consume the land. I can only hope that the right answer prevails, over the answer given out of regret and remorse. If this Evil grows. We people now may see very little of it. But what burden will our children inherit?
I have been working in the Oil industry for over 30 years and we have plenty! It's not the security of our nation, We have the best security, or at least we use to! Over 3000 dead! How many more have to die? How many more fathers, sons, mothers %26amp; daughters have to die!! Have you lost a loved one?
How the hell do you feel?How many men %26amp; women have to die for a war that is not our problem. Oil for our men %26amp; women?
I hope we don't lose as many as we did liberating an ungrateful nation in World War 2.How many men %26amp; women have to die for a war that is not our problem. Oil for our men %26amp; women?
I feel so angry about this, i have been wanting this war to end for a long time now, recently a good friend of mine was killed by a road side bomb, he left behind his wife of a year and a unbron child...i pray everyday that other families wont have to go through what we are, thats all you can do is pray that our troops come home! this is a pointless war, it needs to just stop. we cant fix a country that has been at war with eachother for hundreds of years
If we were fighting for oil, you might have a point. While that is an easy rumor to spread, it is not backed by any facts. I believe that we had nothing to do with the guys who slammed airplanes into our buildings. They want to kill us. Should we just sit and wait for them again?
Does working in the oil industry include pumping gas?
For some perspective, look at how many Americans had to die for Vietnam (even though it had no oil).
yes we have plenty of oil,but are we drilling for it,and if so will it make a difference if we do not have the refining capacity to convert said oil to fuel,in the 70`s we had over 350 refineries,to day less than 140,and i heard a report that we were importing 13% of U.S. gas consumption already,and for the war,it was over with the defeat of the iraqi army in less then a month,but democrat interfearence prolongs the battles our army is now engaged in,with their preferance of muslim lives over american soldier lives!
War should always remain the last options when it comes to sacrifices values for human beings... Not sure the Iraki really wish to get some American values, so I am pretty sure that the soldiers over there, don't feel motivated to do a job that they feel, brings nothing better to the Iraki...
Oil is more than just money... Of course Bush did get there for this reason, as he could have wait a few more years and think about a better strategy that would have cost less lives...
But now US destiny is link to the Irak reality, the way the US will pull out of Irak will dictate the way the world will work after it... Just hope the world will still work with us than against us, but not sure the rest of the world think the same...
It was never about oil, its about changing the face of the middle east, one regime at a time, to ensure a more peaceful future, and spread democracy. You are near sighted to think this is only about oil
-loose change is a steaming pile of rosie o'donnel
I am so glad you took a stand on this. This is totally about oil and Bush wants to control it. Why do these families have to suffer? Draft the Bush twins and maybe we will drop this stupid war of a the Bush family. I know 2 soldiers who dies in Irag and many more that are there. They all say we shouldn't be there. It is so easy for the news to control who and what they ask about how the Iraqies feel about us.
Fact is to many to get one man,he kept the people in line and the oil flowing,it will go back that way only this time no oil.The real enemy is Saudi Arabia they give the money and teach the hate ,but that's Bush friend.Are we stupid?
Remember Vietnam... quite a few, perhaps half of the Vietnam number but around there.
Remember there was no evidence on Mr. Hussien's links to Al-Qaeyda, and Mr. Bush just wanted a war anyway, according to Tenet, then head of CIA. In fact, I suggest you read his book that just came out on Iraq war. Saddam after sanctions posed zero threat to the US. He HATED Al-Qaeyda. Infact, America could have lifted sanctions in exchange for him hunting down and killing al-qaeyda. In fact people who went to the mosque too often were questioned and imprisoned due to his regime.
I think anybody who links the two just because they were damned sandniggers is simply being racist and not paying attention to facts.
They let everything be looted but the ministry of oil. Haliburton and other oil related businesses took over. Read the Sack of Washington, Vanity Fair, to get the details, an economist's tale for history. Then Project for new american century, but like any analyst will tell you, its a war for oil and stragetic power.
Iraq was yet another colonial war, and the old ';arab face'; british proped up regime was eliminated in falluja and nassariyah and the same battles where fought in the same cities in the 1920s. Before it was a king and now its a parliament, but its an arab face.
So how many poor boys shall die for some rich white guy's colonialist war in foreign soil? Many.
How many 100,000s of Iraqis have died in this colonial war? Many.

Car problems after oil change; gas?
i have a 05 magnum and i got a oil change yesterday. when i left, i noticed my oil light was on so i turned around. and when got back my car was smokin. i lost 2 quarts of oil. they said the problem was their mistake. they didn't do something to the oil filter that they was suppose to.do. and every since then i notice my car been using more gas than usual. way more. anyone know what maybe the problem b4 i take it back tomorrow?Car problems after oil change; gas?
Shade tree is mostly right. The oil filter being lose or having been double gasketed would just let oil out and cause alot of smoking. As long as you kept oil in it and caught the problem it should be no big deal. However it is possible while cleaning the engine and looking around in there they knocked off a vaccum line, or leaned on one and broke it.
It has happened to me before.Car problems after oil change; gas?
It really doesn't appear to be related.
I suspect that they simply forgot to tighten the filter or perhaps the gasket was missing on the new filter - in any event, it sounds like they rectified that problem, which really should have nothing to do with your fuel consumption.
If they had inadvertently disconnected an HEGO or some other electronic sensor, for instance, you would have a check engine light on.
probaly double gasketed the oil filter.......happens alot . but i agree with the other guy, appears now you are looking for something.....this happened yesterday and you have allready noticed a drop in gas mileage.....wow
It was probably because they didn't tighten the oil filter but all that would do is squirt the oil on your exhaust thats why it was smoking and they would have had to top up the oil. Other than that nothing could have happened . If its using more gas it's probably because your looking for something ,, sorry and it won't use more gas because of this.The bottom of your car most likely got a free oiling too.
Derrick-
Just for the record, this is one of many reasons I don't use the Quick Lube Shops, (Jiffy Lube, Quick Tune, Snappy Lube or Oil Can Henry's).
I used to work in a Snappy Lube. These places have a gurantee that say if your oil change takes longer than 20 minutes, your next one is free.
Yeah, uh after the ';1,2,3 Cork It'; routine that we had to do I decided it was time to relocate myself to a Chevrolet Dealership and remain there. Needless to say, I can sleep at night knowing my customers are not coming back upset and mad because their engine decided it was tired of dirty oil.
I am going to have to side with the other guy and say its either a double gasket, (which happens when the moron in the pit does not check the filter mount). Or they installed the incorrect filter on your vehicle.
In some cases, the incorrect filter can cause a back pressure problem that will pop the diaphragm in the oil pressure sensor.
Personally, I would have them NOT do any more work on your vehicle and take that baby to Dodge and have them take a good look at your vehicle. This way, any damage that ';Jiffy Jack's Lube Shack'; did to your vehicle can be covered by them and their deep pockets.
Good Luck!
I would take it back to them and shove it up their *** make them re-emburse you for gas and the oil change etc.
Its their fault it happend they even admitted it.

98 jetta oil pump problems! help!!?
wen we start the car. instead of marking the oil pressure it has the oil pressure blank (dashboard).. but then after the car heats up it does show the oil pressure. is this normal!!?? maybe I need a new oil pump.? any answers or ideas will be greatly appreciated thanks =)98 jetta oil pump problems! help!!?
check your oil level first and foremost.
Also you should check if the type of oil you're using in your car is factory spec. Oil when it heats up becomes more and more watery(lower viscosity). Thinner oils such as SAE 5 or 5W30 may not be thick enough to allow your engine's oil pump to push them through properly after they heat up to your engine's operating temperature which would cause your oil pressure light to come on. So try putting in a 10W30 in when you change your oil next.
I'm 99% sure it's not your oil pump. If it was, your engine would probably already be dead.

What is answer to the fuel and oil problem?
I WOULD MAKE IT MYSELF ,ARE YOU NOT WISE,MODIFY YOUR DISTILLERS ,BOOST THE LEVEL OF THE SPIRITS,RUN YOUR MACHINES ON CORN SHINE AND THE OIL CAN BE MADE OUT OF COOKING OIL,JUST MODIFY THAT SYSTEM OF PRODUCTION TO A HIGHER LEVEL OF CONTENT OF THICKNESS TO LUBE YOUR MACHINESWhat is answer to the fuel and oil problem?
A better solution is the use of windpower to produce electricity. Windpower is relatively cheap (approximately 4 cents per kilowatt hour), and windpower is quite plentiful in many parts of the United States and the rest of the world.What is answer to the fuel and oil problem?
Ultimately the answers to oil already exist; fuel cells; solar power; wind power; hydro electric. Right now the cost of fuel is steadily rising which is putting more and more pressure on the government and big business. Within the next 5 to 10 years the price of fuel should rise to 5 or 6 dollars a gallon in the U.S.A. When this occurs it will cause a massive amount of pressure to be put on the government; this will result in billions being put into rapidly putting fuel cells into cars; solar powers being adapted for everyday use in cheaper solar panels while hydro electric and wind power will be expanded. Due to the current political movements going on in the Middle East and Russia; the price of oil won't go down regardless of profit made which means within 15 years the U.S.A. will be forced into switching over to new fuel systems; which in turn will spread throughout the world.
The caps lock key is on the left hand side of the keyboard in the middle.
Ethanols is the answer. Made in America, clean, renewable. What else do you need!
I don't think we have the answer yet. The best bet at the moment is probably electric cars, run off wind power. Hydrogen is no better - emisson free, yes when its used, but not when produced. One of the main ways to produce hydrogen at the moment is by natural gas reforming. Breaking up methane into hydrogen... and carbon dioxide.
And things like biodiesel... they do sound good but think of what is required to make it. In order to produce enough oil crop to make enough to power just Australia's cars, you would probably need to have half of Australia planted with oil crops. What happens to the food?
renewable energy and localised fuel sources will meet the demand and cut foreign depedancy from oil in the future.
mule %26amp; wagon
Let economics work. Charge more, buy less, adapt.
I would have to say hydrogen powered cars since hydrogen is plentiful and doesnt cause pollution.
mine is electric cars because they are right now the cheapest and the technology for the most part is already developed
The best answer a E85 hybrid. E85 can be made here in the states and takes little adjustments (about $1000) to turn any gasoline car into an E85. Altair Nanotechnologies is producing batteries that are rechargable by a standard power outlet and lasts around 500 miles with little power loss compared to most electric cars. Couple these batteries with E85 and not only would we be nondependent on oil, but we'd also have better, less pollutant cars with virtually the same performance. Even the common hybrid on the market today can run 40 miles,which is more than the average person drives a day, on electric before switching to gas. Of course this option will not happen anytime soon seeing how the most powerful people in the U.S. currently have a great amount of stocks in the oil industry.
The answer is simple: use less oil and/or use alternative fuel. Unfortunately, alternative fuel doesn't seem to be quite ready for prime time.
Use less oil/gas:
1. Drive an energy efficient car (I get 50 mpg in my Prius.)
2. Use public transit/carpool.
3. Find other ways to drive less.
4. Encourage your friends to make low energy consumption part of their choice, too.
5. Buy a solar water heater - pays for itself in 2 years.
Prepare to use alternative fuel vehicles:
1. Learn about biodiesel produced in your area - where can you buy it? What kind of car will support it?
2. Learn more about the electric vehicles. When will they be feasible?
3. Plan for your next car to be energy efficient.
Bio fuels can be from used cooking oil for around $1 per gal , the problem there is that unless people start eating more fatty food, there is a limited supply of used cooking oils. If we start using existing supplies of vegetable oil for bio fuel then food prices will go up. One source being investigated is Algae farming.
I will likely be a combination of things. Solar, nuculear, wind %26amp; hydrogen power in addition to the ';dirty'; sources we use today. I understand enthanol isn't efficient enough to merit long-term use, but it will probably have its place.
The first answer is conservation. Look at the 1950's. Most familes had ONE car in the driveway. Now, it is common to see four, six and more at the house. Suzie and Johnny the teens have to have their own ride, you know. The second answer is alternative fuels. Natural gas, electricity, hydrogen. These alternative fuels need to become key in the running of vehicles and we are now beginning to see hybrids. Additionally, BMW is working on a hydrogen cell auto. Thridly, people need to find alternative modes of transportation fpor fossil fuel preservation. For example, our family has ONE car. My husband uses it for work; if I need to go somewhere during the day, I walk, take the bus or cab it.
There are several solutions to this problem.
There are numerous different kinds of fuels we could switch to. The first is ethanol. Ethanol comes from corn and corn is plentiful around the world.
Another kind of energy we could use are electric cars. We could use solar or wind energy to fill up the electric chargers that electric cars could pull into.
The next is hydrogen. Hydrogen is infinite and is clean. Absolutely no emmisions.
The last is compressed air. A compressed air car has been invented and will be mass produced in 2008.

A better solution is the use of windpower to produce electricity. Windpower is relatively cheap (approximately 4 cents per kilowatt hour), and windpower is quite plentiful in many parts of the United States and the rest of the world.What is answer to the fuel and oil problem?
Ultimately the answers to oil already exist; fuel cells; solar power; wind power; hydro electric. Right now the cost of fuel is steadily rising which is putting more and more pressure on the government and big business. Within the next 5 to 10 years the price of fuel should rise to 5 or 6 dollars a gallon in the U.S.A. When this occurs it will cause a massive amount of pressure to be put on the government; this will result in billions being put into rapidly putting fuel cells into cars; solar powers being adapted for everyday use in cheaper solar panels while hydro electric and wind power will be expanded. Due to the current political movements going on in the Middle East and Russia; the price of oil won't go down regardless of profit made which means within 15 years the U.S.A. will be forced into switching over to new fuel systems; which in turn will spread throughout the world.
The caps lock key is on the left hand side of the keyboard in the middle.
Ethanols is the answer. Made in America, clean, renewable. What else do you need!
I don't think we have the answer yet. The best bet at the moment is probably electric cars, run off wind power. Hydrogen is no better - emisson free, yes when its used, but not when produced. One of the main ways to produce hydrogen at the moment is by natural gas reforming. Breaking up methane into hydrogen... and carbon dioxide.
And things like biodiesel... they do sound good but think of what is required to make it. In order to produce enough oil crop to make enough to power just Australia's cars, you would probably need to have half of Australia planted with oil crops. What happens to the food?
renewable energy and localised fuel sources will meet the demand and cut foreign depedancy from oil in the future.

Let economics work. Charge more, buy less, adapt.
I would have to say hydrogen powered cars since hydrogen is plentiful and doesnt cause pollution.
mine is electric cars because they are right now the cheapest and the technology for the most part is already developed
The best answer a E85 hybrid. E85 can be made here in the states and takes little adjustments (about $1000) to turn any gasoline car into an E85. Altair Nanotechnologies is producing batteries that are rechargable by a standard power outlet and lasts around 500 miles with little power loss compared to most electric cars. Couple these batteries with E85 and not only would we be nondependent on oil, but we'd also have better, less pollutant cars with virtually the same performance. Even the common hybrid on the market today can run 40 miles,which is more than the average person drives a day, on electric before switching to gas. Of course this option will not happen anytime soon seeing how the most powerful people in the U.S. currently have a great amount of stocks in the oil industry.
The answer is simple: use less oil and/or use alternative fuel. Unfortunately, alternative fuel doesn't seem to be quite ready for prime time.
Use less oil/gas:
1. Drive an energy efficient car (I get 50 mpg in my Prius.)
2. Use public transit/carpool.
3. Find other ways to drive less.
4. Encourage your friends to make low energy consumption part of their choice, too.
5. Buy a solar water heater - pays for itself in 2 years.
Prepare to use alternative fuel vehicles:
1. Learn about biodiesel produced in your area - where can you buy it? What kind of car will support it?
2. Learn more about the electric vehicles. When will they be feasible?
3. Plan for your next car to be energy efficient.
Bio fuels can be from used cooking oil for around $1 per gal , the problem there is that unless people start eating more fatty food, there is a limited supply of used cooking oils. If we start using existing supplies of vegetable oil for bio fuel then food prices will go up. One source being investigated is Algae farming.
I will likely be a combination of things. Solar, nuculear, wind %26amp; hydrogen power in addition to the ';dirty'; sources we use today. I understand enthanol isn't efficient enough to merit long-term use, but it will probably have its place.
The first answer is conservation. Look at the 1950's. Most familes had ONE car in the driveway. Now, it is common to see four, six and more at the house. Suzie and Johnny the teens have to have their own ride, you know. The second answer is alternative fuels. Natural gas, electricity, hydrogen. These alternative fuels need to become key in the running of vehicles and we are now beginning to see hybrids. Additionally, BMW is working on a hydrogen cell auto. Thridly, people need to find alternative modes of transportation fpor fossil fuel preservation. For example, our family has ONE car. My husband uses it for work; if I need to go somewhere during the day, I walk, take the bus or cab it.

Oil pressure problems on a 95 s10 blazer with a 4.3l. low oil pressure?
Rev the engine to see if the pressure runs up to 65-75 psi. You should idle about 35 to 45 psi. If not, you need to change the pump. Though if you are burning oil, your rings or bores might be shot.Oil pressure problems on a 95 s10 blazer with a 4.3l. low oil pressure?
GM's always run low pressure at idle. If you have an actual gauge, watch the needle- if the pressure rises and stays there while you are at regular speeds, don't even worry about it.Oil pressure problems on a 95 s10 blazer with a 4.3l. low oil pressure?

Engine problems oil change?
i have a 2006 chevy cobalt and let my son drive it for a while the car has 58000 miles on it. and the problem is the oil has never been changed i just changed it and drove it for a while today and it is knocking pretty bad it has new oil and a new filter what could be the problemEngine problems oil change?
Too late on the maintenance and the engine is worn. Is it a hard loud metallic rap (connecting rod) low thump (main bearings) or tap tap (lifter or stuck valve) Get a mechanic to give a listen. Tap tap isn't too bad, all else bad news.Engine problems oil change?
If it is ';knocking '; that is piston rod bearings and your eng is trashed, and will need rebuild.
If it is just ';ticking'; then that is the valve lifters
You didn't change the oil once in 58,000 miles? Or it didn't get changed just while your son was driving it? Either way, low or severely dirty oil can cause a world of hurt inside an engine. Wrist pins (connecting rod bearings), main bearings, etc. could have seen greatly accelerated wear, and if so, it's rebuild time. Sorry.
One or even two missed oil changes in a row might not be TOO bad, provided the oil was kept full, but a ton of miles with no oil change is a sure pointer to a major issue with the engine....
You are just getting what you deserve for not maintaining you car like you should.
Three year old Chevy wants to go see Mr Goddwrench and get all its sludge flushed out and new connecting rod bearings if the crankshaft isn't scored. I think the sludge that was sitting like a spider in the corner has migrated into a small oil passage and won't let anything else get through. There is tragedy in that engine. The hero is dying of oil starvation. Now it will really use less gas than a Corolla- until you rebuild it.

Poulan Chainsaw (Wild Thing) Bar Oil Problem, Any Advice Please?

How does the oil pump work?
Where is it ?Poulan Chainsaw (Wild Thing) Bar Oil Problem, Any Advice Please?
I am sure that it doesn't oil by gravity. There is a diaphram pump. Remove the bar and clean all the passages. Check the plastic hoses that supply the oil. Also check on the end of the hose in the tank, there should be a ';duckbill'; valve on the end of the hose. The hoses can not have any holes or be collapsed.Poulan Chainsaw (Wild Thing) Bar Oil Problem, Any Advice Please?
Thomas is right..it is an automatic oiler..simply gravity...Clean the little plastic tube out that is on the left hand side under the cover as you are holding it to cut.. I mean left hand side as you hold it..
You can take off the bar and chain, leave the cover off, then start up the saw and look for oil coming out. I had an old Poulan that had an odd slot in the bar that the oil had to travel through to get to the chain, and it clogged easily. The oil came out of the saw fine, it just was not getting to the blade and bar. The slot was so small that it took me a minute to find it, but I knew it had to be there when I saw how and where the oil was getting to the bar. My newer model does not have this. Good luck.
there is no oil pump. it is gravity clean your tube some debris may be in it .also check if you have cold weather bar and chain oil. stop going to home depot and find a real chain saw dealer (jonesred etc.) he will have cold weather bar and chain oil and better advice than me.a thick bar and chain oil for summer looks a little like taffy below 40 degrees. if you are in florida than clean your tank and tube.air makeup

No problem. You certainly can paint latex over oil. NEVER paint oil over latex. It is a recipe for disaster.How do I fix a problem with Oil based primer that should have been latex?
DO heavy sanding ultil the cabinet doesnt smell anymore
Yes sand then prime with latex primer. Then paint. You'll be OK.
The best thing to do would be check the label. You really should have no problem painting with latex over the oil primer. If it needs sanding, then sand. Iit's easier to sand dry oil primer than latex. I have used oil primer umder latex with no problem what so ever.

I have oil leakage problem every time I give the car gas out of right side of engine, why?
I have a 1966 mustang with a 95 mustang engine. used older style intake and carb. the driver side header is full of oil. It seems that every time I rev the engine, even just a little bit, the oil sprays out and lands on the header causing smoke. Why would this happen and where could it be coming from? Already changed rear main, oil pan, and valve cover seals.I have oil leakage problem every time I give the car gas out of right side of engine, why?
The best route would be to clean off all of the oil that you can and then have someone start the car while you look at the drivers side of the engine. I assume that the oil is not actually ';spraying'; out but if it is, keep your distance and wear some eye protection. Turn the car off after just 20-30 seconds so it is not saturated with oil and see where it is coming from.
Start at the top and work down (careful if its hot) run your finger along the edges of the intake manifold and see if there is any oil on your finger. Run your finger along the valve cover. See if there is oil coming from the seam where the heads meet the block (if there is a head gasket leak then you should notice oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil).
Your description says that ';the drivers side header is full of oil'; are you saying that there is oil INSIDE the header or just on the outside of the header? If there is oil INSIDE the header then you probably have a valve seal that is shot and oil is coming past the valve into the exhaust port.
Post some more of the symptoms so we can help out a little more. Is there noticable black grime coming out of your tail pipes? Is there oil in the coolant? Or coolant in the oil?
Take off your valve cover and see where the impression of the head is on the gasket. Some times when you install them they will not sit evenly on the head and it will not seal resulting in a leak. Also, did you verify the torque on your valve covers? Are you using a rubber valve cover gasket?
Sorry to hear about your brother passing. I don't think I was the one that your brother contacted about this vehicle but I would be happy to answer any questions you might have about the vehicle.
The blue smoke in your other question is from oil as some people stated. It could be piston rings (oil rings, not compression rings) or worn or shot valve seals. Were you able to eliminate the blue smoke issue?
This is a LONG shot but see if your spark plugs have oil on them. If your oil rings are shot on your pistons then oil could be getting past and pushing out of the spark plug holes (if your spark plugs are not tight) and ending up on your headers. Again, this is a long shot but Im trying to throw ideas out thereI have oil leakage problem every time I give the car gas out of right side of engine, why?
Clean it so you can find the leak easier and have someone push on the gas while you watch for the leak.

Has Omega Brite Fish Oil Helped Anyone with Mood Problems?
I have Bipolar 1 and tried taking them for about 4 months. It did nothing for me. I am already on many meds, but I thought that it would help even me out more.
Nothing but a messed up stomach.Has Omega Brite Fish Oil Helped Anyone with Mood Problems?
I had a mild mood disorder and I started taking childrens Omega Fish Oil Tablets to help encourage my children to take their dose. After about 3 months I noticed such a difference that I switched to adult tabs and had a slight relapse. I realised that the childrens tabs also had Vitamin B in them. So I kept taking the adult tabs and started on separate Vitamin B complex. Fish Oil alone may help a little, but coupled with Vitamin B it has made a remarkable difference. Has Omega Brite Fish Oil Helped Anyone with Mood Problems?
Omega 3 fish oil supplements help depression, and bipolar disorder, but aren't quick to act. Ensure they are labelled mercury free, and take them with an antioxidant, like freshly squeezed orange juice, or green tea (no milk, or cream).
Takes time to work but it is an effective supplement in the treatment of depression and mood disorders like Bi Polar.
Nope. It has only ever made me more mentally alert/sharp. And it gives really weird tasting burps. *shudder*
yes i think it helps depression...

Isn't this a much bigger source of the oil price problem than anyone gives it credit to be?
We all want to blame the oil companies trying to make a buck, some want to blame the Arabs, some know that the demand in oil consumption of countries like China and India is increasing the price and that supply is off because of instability in Nigeria and the lunatic in Venezuela. But very few are taking into account the commodities speculators on Wall Street who are making money hand over fist betting on the flow of oil. Is there a way that we could take them out of the equation and bring the price down to a sensible level?Isn't this a much bigger source of the oil price problem than anyone gives it credit to be?
Speculators will always be in the mix.And when you have all forms of the media expounding on the shortages and the rising cost, aren't they playing right into the hands of the speculators? Get the media to shut up, have a little less brainwashing of the public and good things may happen. Also do your part. Travel only when necessary. Consume less fuel.Isn't this a much bigger source of the oil price problem than anyone gives it credit to be?
Quite frankly, most people are astonished that Americans pay HALF the price for gas as we do in Britain, and still whine about their lot in life.
IMO, you need not have gone any further than the oil companies and OPEC countries (Of which the USA is one) to place the blame for rising prices. We are going to be seeing record profits by the refineries this year. As well as increased demand from China, India (Hell, why not add 120 more countries to that list - INCLUDING YOURS?), we have instability in the middle east and that lunatic in the white house.
If wall street speculations on oil get your goat, spare a moment for the hundreds of millions who will go hungry this year because the same speculators have pushed up the price of basic staple foods like wheat, corn and rice. There's very little more immoral than the rich profiting off the poor. Don't worry though - Mr.Bush and his oil buddies will be laughing all the way to the bank, and your hedge fund managers can declare themselves another profitable year on rice futures.

Do you think drilling for oil is causing our global warming problems today?
I look at it this way... The oil that is in our earth serves the same purpose as we use it in our automobiles.. Keeping the engine cool so it doesn't seize up and overheat. What if all that oil we have taken out of earth all of these years have caused a reaction of instability in our earth's core. There must be big air gaps now where the oil used to lay unground... what if the heat is making it through cause no oil to keep it cool.. Just my 2 cents..Yet curious as george ever was.. I'm sure that pollution isn't helping, but I am willing to bet that the oil drilling is the major problem for our climate changes we have today.. But because oil is the big money maker in our world, its being left alone and having other things to blame out climate problems on. What do you think? think I have something here that makes sence??? Maybe let others know as well and maybe make a few calls to your government.Do you think drilling for oil is causing our global warming problems today?

No apart from causing subteranean cavities ,mining does little harm to the Environment

,and the biggest destroyer of all is Farming,

It's a highly contributing factor, but not the only one. If people would just give up aerosol cans, drive economic cars and quit burning fireplaces, burn piles and patio heaters for now I'd be happy.

Yamaha v-star 650 oil check sight glass problems?
I own a 2007 vstar 650 silverado. I'm having trouble reading the oil level, I don't see any line showing the oil line, its only black, and this is with the bike upright. Hasn't been ridden much and is still in the break in period. How noticeable is the difference where the oil line should be. Also exactly were are the fill lines next to the glass? Thanks for any info!!!Yamaha v-star 650 oil check sight glass problems?
By now you've noticed it's not possible to sit on the bike and see the sightglass at the same time...get yourself an inspection mirror from Harbor Freight or anywhere that has tools. Get one with a handle that telescopes out. This way you can sit on the bike and use the mirror to see the sightglass. This will allow you to move the bike slightly off center and find the oil level. If it's covering the sightglass completely, it's too full. Black oil indicates a change badly needed and perhaps a filter that's not working properly. If it's still in breakin, then it's still under warranty. Get with your dealer...Yamaha v-star 650 oil check sight glass problems?
Get yourself a flashlight, too!
I find that, even outside, it is difficult to see the oil level without just the right lighting.
With a flashlight, you should be able to see the gauge through the oil.
From what I understand, since you're still in the break-in period, your oil should be clean, but may contain small metal shavings/filings as the parts wear into each other. This is the reason for changing the oil at the end of the break-in period.
If your sight glass is ';black';, you have a problem. Check you owners manual to be sure you're checking in the right place. If the bike is new and still in it's break-in period, the oil should not be black. Keep in mind that Yamaha oil, when new, is very clear.
When checking your oil, it is better to have a second person on the motorcycle and you looking at the sight glass. Have them move it a little from side to side to see the level. It may be over full, but checking this way will help.
oil level is to the centre of sight, check with bike up right, if it's black you have too much oil and it needs to be changed anyway.
You might change the oil a little more often.air makeup

With a flashlight, you should be able to see the gauge through the oil.
From what I understand, since you're still in the break-in period, your oil should be clean, but may contain small metal shavings/filings as the parts wear into each other. This is the reason for changing the oil at the end of the break-in period.
If your sight glass is ';black';, you have a problem. Check you owners manual to be sure you're checking in the right place. If the bike is new and still in it's break-in period, the oil should not be black. Keep in mind that Yamaha oil, when new, is very clear.
When checking your oil, it is better to have a second person on the motorcycle and you looking at the sight glass. Have them move it a little from side to side to see the level. It may be over full, but checking this way will help.
oil level is to the centre of sight, check with bike up right, if it's black you have too much oil and it needs to be changed anyway.
You might change the oil a little more often.
Engine oil reading problems?
my dipstick shows one side at full level and the other side a little bit over the full mark...what is going on?Engine oil reading problems?
read the damn thing, 1 side is hot the other cold im guessing, common in heavy equipment. you can checxk em while they are running lol(big heavy equipment)Engine oil reading problems?
Pretty easy to understand: The dipstick *tube does not enter the crankcase oil pan at a perfect right angle. Actually no dipstick tube does. Try sticking the dipstick in the tube 180 degrees from normal. You'll get a reverse reading on the stick.
Always have the car on level ground and check the oil after the motor has cooled off. Don't sweat a few thousandths of difference from one flat side of the stick to another.
Remember also that your car takes slightly less than 4 quarts (3.8) to fill it up to the full mark with a fresh Toyota oil filter which is made my Denso or a Denso oil filter by name brand.
Make sure that your vehicle is parked on leveled surface, and the engine is not hot (Give it a little time for all the oil to go down before you check it). However, as long as you are not too low or too high, you will be fine.
it is imperative to place your car on flat terrain, and let engine stand for 2 minuite,s check dipe sik then evertthing should be hunky dory
I really wouldn't worry about it.Because if it is a little over the full mark it won't do any harm.
The dip stick is entering the oil at an angle, so one side gets wetter than the other. Split the difference.
what year make and model,
No big deal. The dip stick is just going into the oil at an angle.

I need Immediate help. Problems with a1998 Honda CR125? Also what type of oil to use after clutch repair?
I recently bought two 1998 Honda CR125's that need a little work on them.
The first one needed clutch work. I replaced the plates and I was wondering what type of oil to put back in there. I am not worried about the brand just what type, weight etc.
On the other bike the kickstart is locked up, it doesnt go down. I tried push starting it but the wheel just locked up. I took the clutch cover off and and started taking the clutch out to see if I could see what was wrong inside there. After I got the plates out I noticed that the kickstart moved freely. I decided to put it back together see if it still turned freely and it did. What would be the problem to cause this? After I kick it a few times do you think the problem will comeback?I need Immediate help. Problems with a1998 Honda CR125? Also what type of oil to use after clutch repair?
Interesting,,,about the locked-up kickstarter.
Those engines have Primary Kick drive.
Meaning,,you can start them in any gear by simply pulling clutch in.
The Kickstarter drives the Clutch Basket/Primary Gear Assy Directly,,,,and is always engaged---all kickstart gears always turn with engine rotation/Clutch Wheel rotation.
Removing the clutch plates from such a set-up only disengages TRANSMISSION mainshaft
If Engine is frozen,,Clutch Wheel and All Kickstart gears are ';permanently engaged'; to engine and will NOT Turn either.
Got that part?
If these X's are Gears,,it's set up like this
XXXX,,,4 Gears permanently engaged
*Kick Drive Gear
*Kick Idler Gear
*Kick DRIVEN gear(small cog fastened to Back of Clutch gear)
*Engine Primary Pinion gear
Connection of the entire Permanently Engaged Primary Drive AND Kickstart Drive train,,,,
%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;TO the Transmission is Thru the interlaced Clutch Plates which engage the Clutch INNER HUB splined to Trans Main Shaft.
If Removing the Plates allowed the Locked-Up Kickstarter to Turn(Which would also necessarily be Turning ENGINE),,,
then something in the Trans was Locked up.
Removing the Plates DISENGAGES the Trans from the Primary Drive,,,,same as pulling in clutch lever does.
Makes ZERO difference if plates were stuck together or not.
The effect of that would be merely the exact same as kicking the starter with trans In Gear and Not pulling in clutch lever---
The bike would go forward AND engine would turn also.
Makes no sense that removing clutch plates,,then replacing them would free-up a locked up kickstarter.
It's BUILT ';locked-up';...it's Made that way
Only thing the Plates do is engage connection of Primary Drive to Transmission.
Don't take my word for it,,,get a service manual or a parts diagram,,,and look for yourself how the kickstart drive train is constructed,,,,what drives what,,,and what all is engaged.
If you can remove Clutch Plates and Free-up a Locked Kickstart,,,,,all you've done is disconnect transmission.
The assumption therefore is that something in Trans was in a bind.
Hondas have a single cam shift drum,,therefore you cannot have simultaneous engagement of 2 gearsets,,,
ie,,Can't be ';In'; 2nd and 3rd at same time to cause a lock-up.
Only One Gearset is engageable at any time.
Only physical damage to gear locating clips/wshrs,,or really bad shift fork will allow such a conflict lock-up.
Bearing failure can lock one up,,or pieces of metal between gear teeth can,,a few other things.
I'd be very suspicious of a Trans problem,,,according to the scenario you describe.
If engine itself is locked,,,it wont kick whether clutch plates are in or out or not.
It's permanently hard-geared from kick-to-crankshaft.
Kick engagement is strictly via the starter pawl
If it Wont kick with Clutch ENGAGED,
it could be
a)Engine
b)Transmission
If it DOES kick with Clutch DIS-Engaged(Or removed)
a)Engine IS Turning
b)Trans is SUSPECT to be the lock-up
One Odd Possibility is this.
IF a piece of foreign matter was to lodge between Any of the teeth ANYWHERE on any of the Primary Drive train,,,that Could lock up the ';Kickstarter';.
Then,,,';working on the thing'; Could Possibly allow the debris the fall out,,,removing the Jam from the primary drive.
Whatever the actual situation,,,
It's a VERY simple system.
It doesn't Lock-Up, then Unlock and work fine for No Reason.
Double Check it,,,most everything involved are fairly expensive parts.
Takes a significant fault ';somewhere'; to lock up a kickstarter on a Primary Kick system.
Good luck with itI need Immediate help. Problems with a1998 Honda CR125? Also what type of oil to use after clutch repair?
Sounds like sticking clutch plates: they can bind together under some circumstances. If it's working now, that's great. Just use ordinary 4-stroke motorcycle oil for the gearbox. You can get special 2-stroke gearbox oil, but it's not necessary. Run the bike for an hour or two, then change it again to remove contaminants.
Remember, your 2-stroke gearbox and clutch are just like those on a 4-stroke bike, so the same oil is used.
The piston and rings are probably seized to the cylinder.
Remove the exhaust pipe and look in the exhaust port to see it there is any damage - It's less of a mess than pulling off the head and spilling the coolant.
Replace with an 80 to 90 weight gear oil, as far as the kick start, may have been that the engine having not been run in a while was in a slightly seized point.Before starting, squirt some wd40 down the sparkplug hole and spin over engine without starting.( to lubricate the rings) problem should not return unless something wrong with the kick pedal itself.

How do i fix a gas in oil pan problem?
Ok i have a 1988 chevy s10 pickup truck there is a problem with it the problem is the gas is geting into the oil pan when i read the oil stick it is way off the full mark the engine seems to run fine and it does have a little smoke to the end of the pipe when running i was lso wondering if i could fix that problem of if i have to get a hole new motor thanks for your help...How do i fix a gas in oil pan problem?
if its got a manuel fuel pump, the diafram is busted in it and the gas and oil is mixing. if its fuel injected, the fuel pump regulator is bad and letting too much pressure into the injectors and running into the oil.How do i fix a gas in oil pan problem?
the problem is a fuel issue. is this engine Carburated? have you an electric fuel pump added? some minor fuel dillusion is normal on carburated motors not much but a tiny bit thats why oil usually needs changed at certain intervals, but eniugh to raise the dipstick level is only two posibilities fuel running out the carb floatbowls and into the cylinders, thias would cause very bad running lots of stalling or not starting due to hydraulic lock up. the other possible reason is you have amechanical fuel pump on the side of the block and the diaphram inside has blown a hole and is pumping it (fuel) into the block. this wont clearly be recognised except by lots of raw gas in the oil pan and a slight running performance condition.
Bad fuel injector or fuel pressure regulator.Have it checked at a shop before you ruin your engine.It will run fine right up untill the second it locks up.

How can you blame the Democrats for the oil problem if you read these facts:?
Republicans controlled Congress since the early 90s until a year and a half ago. The controlled the White House and Congress for 6 straight years during that time. They currently have 49% of Congress. during that time the only time the Democrats had a majority in Congress is now, with 51%...AND BUSH HAS VETO POWER!!
How could you possibly blame the Democrats for our oil problems.How can you blame the Democrats for the oil problem if you read these facts:?
NO kidding!
For 6 years Republicans controlled the House, the Senate and the Executive branches, but somehow with only the tiniest of margins in the last 18 months it all comes down to the Democrats.
Well, the American people can't be fooled again, which is why Republicans are going to reap what they sow. Their own party suspects between 5-7 more Senate seats will be lost to Democrats this November, and they have only themselves to blame...How can you blame the Democrats for the oil problem if you read these facts:?
Because the Dems are beholden to the environmentalists.
The environmentalists WANT high oil prices because that will further their cause of getting rid of fossil fuel use in the US.
Congress, has not passed legislation that would have allowed drilling off the coasts if the states wanted them to be able to, BUT The enviro's came along and started all types of lawsuits, so the OIL companies said screw it.
So it is the environmentalists fault that oil is so expensive, and the Dems get tons of money from Enviro groups. SO the dems owe the Enviros for getting them elected and must do what they say.
Also with expensive gas comes more class envy and gives the dems a reason to raise taxes which they love to do! Cause they hate capitlism.
Easy, they block the Republican plans to drill in ANWAR and other areas, they block building nuclear power plants, refineries and using clean coal technology. Bush has never vetoed any legislation put up by the Dems that would lower gas prices. They are doing this now when we need action the most, it is easy to blame them they are the problem. Even now when we are in a crisis situation they refuse to put forth any useful legislation, taxing oil companies and opening up our national reserve are uselsess as far as solving the problem.
These are the same people that stick their head in the sand/or up their butt when conflicting issues arise
To t ran: If you and other Republicans realistically subscribed to the Constitution you would know that the purpose of the government is to ';provide for the general welfare'; of the public. Of coarse that doesn't mean handing out checks irresponsibly. BUT, if tax breaks and gravy train contracts can be given out to billion dollar corporations than a balanced and equitable assistance program for needy people is a governmental duty.
we can blame the democrats for our oil problems cause they blame republicans for everything else
besides, democrats are idiots who only believe in taking care of people who are too lazy to take care of themselves
wellfare is such bull
so i say lets blame the people who blame us for everything else
btw i love how you try to blame us for blaming you
They have stopped all possibilities of our drilling on our own land and being independent in oil and gas. The democrats are environmentalists and spread a lot of grief over global warming...(which there IS NONE OF).
Even now...they are holding back...although they are starting to crack ...and are thinking it MIGHT be possible.
You can blame Snoop Dog if you want to blame him.
What you should be asking for is supporting facts like laws that have been passed, policies that have been enacted, and so on that have any relevance.
Has Clinton signed the bill put onto his desk for signature into law allowing drilling in the ANWR, that oil would today be flowing into America instead of the oil we are currently importing from countries that hate our guts.
A secret paper has revealed that the problem is that the production of wheat for biofuels has created all these problems we are all going through today....
prezident bush is problem
I don't blame the Dems, and thanks for your perspective and the facts.
dude, we have 2 problems, 1- bush brain can't read
those who can read they don't deal with facts
because they are self centered and CANNOT PUT THE RESPONSIBILITY on their own party.
There is plenty of blame to go around.
The United States consumes the most oil in the world. We have a voracious appetite for gas guzzling cars and the auto manufacturers have not developed a more energy efficient car. Just think about it. We knew that oil was going to get more scarce many years ago but the auto industry in the US didn't even bother to produce newer cars with better gas mileage. With all the ingenuity in this country, which is something we've always prided ourselves on, you'd think by now we would have autos that could get at least 50 mpg.
Then there are the people who keep buying the gas guzzlers just so they can shuttle their kids off to school. Maybe if everyone started buying more energy efficient cars, the auto industry would get the message. I think they have now but it's going to take them years to catch up. They have absolutely no foresight, just plain greed (get as much as you can for yourself now).
The oil situation is not going to get better. Emerging economies such as China and India want more and more every day and that will drive the prices up as well.
Drilling in Alaska or offshore is not the answer. It may help but only a little. And it's going to take years before we see any small dent in the overall supply of oil.
The simple answer is CONSUME LESS.
Bush and Cheney have connections with the oil industry. They have just been padding their friend's pocketbooks, as well as their own the last 7 years (again, get all you can, while you can, and screw everyone else).
Bush has had 7 years to come up with a viable energy policy and what do we have to show for it? Nothing but let's blame the democrats because they have control of the congress now. That's pretty narrow minded thinking.
Sure the democrats have control of congress, but whos still sitting in the White House with his corporate oil buddies.
Neither party is to blame, and DONT blame bush because its not his fault either. Its the middle easts' and the stupid environmentalist hippies fault for not letting us drill or build factories and raising the prices of oil.
Drill in Alaska!

Oil burner problems?
I have a water boiler that I just power vented, the controll relay is a ck 63 the boiler has a 7184b relay,,I got the boiler to fire but when it goes to refire the motor just runs than will not fire again,,,the wireing is corrrect ane all tests pass,,,is their something im missing, ,,the relay on the boiler goes into lockout mode,,,Oil burner problems?
common lock out problem is failure for sensing unit to ';see'; the high spectrum white light. TEMPORARILY by-pass the safety at control and try a restart, if it will fire , check alignment , then using ohm. meter check sensor value of control as it is burning. good place to start...
## You changed the nozzle to a hollow and did not adjust the electrode gap? Thats another thing you have to do. Why such a different nozzle?Oil burner problems?
did it do this before you powered the vent ? may be tw0 much air flow,
Check the electric eye that sneses the flame. If it doesn't detect falme after a couple of seconds, the burner will not ignite, and it shuts down. Some burners have a flame rod...same thing. Check the placement of the flame sensing rod, if this is the case. I may be that there is no flame detection from the pilot, so the gas valve won't open, and your ignition system shuts off.
Sounds like a transformer problem if the motor runs and you smell oil but get no ignition.Test the transformer. I don't think you have a cad cell problem because the unit is locking out when it doesn't fire-It is suppose to do that . If the trans is ok test the control for power to the trans.

73 mopar 340 oil pressure problems?
motor is rebuit i have some oil pressure but both my gauges i put on it says it only has 20psi at 3k and about 4 psi at 1k. is there and oil galley plug under the intake. that needs a plug in it or any other idea's thanx in advance. -Josh73 mopar 340 oil pressure problems?
Could be. Check where all galley plugs are and maybe you might get lucky. Alternatives: oil pick up to close to pan, bad pump,bad relief valve in pump. After that it gets worse.73 mopar 340 oil pressure problems?
Didn't that engine have one in the front of the block by the timing chain?
Sorry to hear that. Are the tolerances good? Did you plastigauge your crank before you rebuilt it to see if the clearances were to big? Is your oil pump a high volume unit? Did you leave pieces of silicone or gasket material where they could be sucked unto the oil pump pickup screen?
Check the oil pump ..I hope you used a new pump, sorry to hear of your problem,340';s were a ';SCORCHER'; if built right,but oil press was usually 30-40lbs in my ';stock'; 70 340.how to makeup
Could be. Check where all galley plugs are and maybe you might get lucky. Alternatives: oil pick up to close to pan, bad pump,bad relief valve in pump. After that it gets worse.73 mopar 340 oil pressure problems?

I am having problems getting my oil pan off a 1992 pontiac grand am?
i have taken off all of the bolts and nuts i can see. does anyone have any info or a site i can go to that will give me a diagram (thats free) of the oil pan being taken off??? i am CLUELESS!!! someone please helpI am having problems getting my oil pan off a 1992 pontiac grand am?
You didn't say what kind of motor, there are two kinds for that year, aluminum and cast iron...if you have a flex plate shield, remove that, there may be two bolts behind that. There are one or two bolts where the axle comes out the transmission that you can't see where the passenger side axle hides them. As far as a website, I'd suggest typing in 92 pontiac grand am diagrams and how to's and seeing what google brings up. Good luck with this...if you can give more detail as to what liter your engine is and whether it is cast iron or aluminum.I am having problems getting my oil pan off a 1992 pontiac grand am?
loosen up the motor mounts and raise the engine.that should clear it for removal.
once the bolts are out, you need to take a flat screw driver and pry the pan off because the gasket has sealed it to the metal.
it should come off of it ,,if the starter is off ,and out of the way ,it may be stuck on it really good sometimes they stick up there real hard also double check that all the bolts are out,other wise you,ll warp it when you try to pry it off,,good luck,,i hope this help,s.

How many men & women have to die for a war that is not our problem. Oil for our men & women?
So do we have to sacrifice our own people for OIL?
I have been working in the Oil industry for over 30 years and we have plenty! It's not the security of our nation, We have the best security, or at least we use to! Over 3000 dead! How many more have to die? How many more fathers, sons, mothers %26amp; daughters have to die!! Have you lost a loved one?
How the hell do you feel?How many men %26amp; women have to die for a war that is not our problem. Oil for our men %26amp; women?
I hope we don't lose as many as we did liberating an ungrateful nation in World War 2.How many men %26amp; women have to die for a war that is not our problem. Oil for our men %26amp; women?
I feel so angry about this, i have been wanting this war to end for a long time now, recently a good friend of mine was killed by a road side bomb, he left behind his wife of a year and a unbron child...i pray everyday that other families wont have to go through what we are, thats all you can do is pray that our troops come home! this is a pointless war, it needs to just stop. we cant fix a country that has been at war with eachother for hundreds of years
If we were fighting for oil, you might have a point. While that is an easy rumor to spread, it is not backed by any facts. I believe that we had nothing to do with the guys who slammed airplanes into our buildings. They want to kill us. Should we just sit and wait for them again?
Does working in the oil industry include pumping gas?
For some perspective, look at how many Americans had to die for Vietnam (even though it had no oil).
yes we have plenty of oil,but are we drilling for it,and if so will it make a difference if we do not have the refining capacity to convert said oil to fuel,in the 70`s we had over 350 refineries,to day less than 140,and i heard a report that we were importing 13% of U.S. gas consumption already,and for the war,it was over with the defeat of the iraqi army in less then a month,but democrat interfearence prolongs the battles our army is now engaged in,with their preferance of muslim lives over american soldier lives!
War should always remain the last options when it comes to sacrifices values for human beings... Not sure the Iraki really wish to get some American values, so I am pretty sure that the soldiers over there, don't feel motivated to do a job that they feel, brings nothing better to the Iraki...
Oil is more than just money... Of course Bush did get there for this reason, as he could have wait a few more years and think about a better strategy that would have cost less lives...
But now US destiny is link to the Irak reality, the way the US will pull out of Irak will dictate the way the world will work after it... Just hope the world will still work with us than against us, but not sure the rest of the world think the same...
It was never about oil, its about changing the face of the middle east, one regime at a time, to ensure a more peaceful future, and spread democracy. You are near sighted to think this is only about oil
-loose change is a steaming pile of rosie o'donnel
I am so glad you took a stand on this. This is totally about oil and Bush wants to control it. Why do these families have to suffer? Draft the Bush twins and maybe we will drop this stupid war of a the Bush family. I know 2 soldiers who dies in Irag and many more that are there. They all say we shouldn't be there. It is so easy for the news to control who and what they ask about how the Iraqies feel about us.
Fact is to many to get one man,he kept the people in line and the oil flowing,it will go back that way only this time no oil.The real enemy is Saudi Arabia they give the money and teach the hate ,but that's Bush friend.Are we stupid?
Remember Vietnam... quite a few, perhaps half of the Vietnam number but around there.
Remember there was no evidence on Mr. Hussien's links to Al-Qaeyda, and Mr. Bush just wanted a war anyway, according to Tenet, then head of CIA. In fact, I suggest you read his book that just came out on Iraq war. Saddam after sanctions posed zero threat to the US. He HATED Al-Qaeyda. Infact, America could have lifted sanctions in exchange for him hunting down and killing al-qaeyda. In fact people who went to the mosque too often were questioned and imprisoned due to his regime.
I think anybody who links the two just because they were damned sandniggers is simply being racist and not paying attention to facts.
They let everything be looted but the ministry of oil. Haliburton and other oil related businesses took over. Read the Sack of Washington, Vanity Fair, to get the details, an economist's tale for history. Then Project for new american century, but like any analyst will tell you, its a war for oil and stragetic power.
Iraq was yet another colonial war, and the old ';arab face'; british proped up regime was eliminated in falluja and nassariyah and the same battles where fought in the same cities in the 1920s. Before it was a king and now its a parliament, but its an arab face.
So how many poor boys shall die for some rich white guy's colonialist war in foreign soil? Many.
How many 100,000s of Iraqis have died in this colonial war? Many.
As Vera Britten stated, ';War is when the old men send the young men to die.'; Its not like bush fought in the war in Vietnam nor are his daughters in Iraq. Expect what, at least 10,000 more.
I lived through a shock an awe campaign in another middle eastern country. It was a civil war, but I sure hated the guts of the guy sending the missiles into my neighbor hood and turning it into smitherenes, blocks of stone houses disappearing into thin air... btw 9-11 happened after the beginning of the intifadha, when everybody felt angry and impotent... its what war is like. When it happened, I thought, wow, now america is going to be a normal country, a part of the world, and americans are final human, and grieve over their loved ones like the rest of us grieve. Why is it just people in third world countries that experiance violence? Now the rich finally know what its like to live in the ghetto. As it turns out, no, they didn't want to know and blamed the whole thing on the poor that they made poor in the first place. Unemployed Saudis who are unemployed because the American government keeps their ineffeciant, corrupt, abusive government in power became suicide pilots.
If you want to know why 9-11 happened, read Ruben Dario's To Roosevelt, written in 1903, where he predicts the whole thing. Its a story of the french revolution, the world's first terrorists and Mary Antoinette. It sucks.
So you have poor mexican, black and white boys who want a passport or college education dying for Bushy Antoinette's Haliburton. Remember Vietnam + add corruption.
Okay you seem to want a number, so here it is, 10 thousand. Ten thousand military personelle have to die in combat operations to show the United States committment to this or any war, justified or not. BTW, Im interested in getting a job on a rig, could you email me so we could chat a little on that?
How many have to die? As many as it takes for the ';American People'; to say 'enough is enough', as they did for Vietnam.
';Oil for our men %26amp; women?'; Only the ';American Peoples''; conscience can determine how many dead Americans their cars do to the gallon...
have you ever watched loose change 9/11 they are making money off the lives of our soliders someones brother (mine was there twice) sister mother father. god bless our troops
Judging by the obvious uninformed drivel you've displayed, I'm guessing that you've never actually been to Iraq yourself; if you had, you'd know that oil's got nothing to do with it. Not only that--if you actually WERE in the oil industry for as long as you claim, you'd know where most of our oil comes from; little, if any, comes from that part of the world, and certainly not from Iraq. If you're so concerned over the loss of 3,000 people, why aren't you directing your ire at the ones who took the first 3,000 lives in 2001 and started this whole thing? Put the blame where it belongs.
It is not about oil. We have been there for 4 years, so where is this surplus of oil we should have recieved?
And you know, it really IS our problem and thank God that it didn't turn out like it could have. I remember reading about Nevil Chamberlin meeting with Adolph Hitler and returning to England putting their minds to ease saying ';there is no threat';. Six years later... 12 million dead because no one took action.
We took action and DID find WMD's that remember were in possession of a man who used them on even his own people. Now, we are fighting terrorists who even before Iraq, swore to kill Americans and all other infidels. At least we are fighting them over there and not here like they would like.
Start looking toward reality, Read history, Love this country, and ALWAYS be suspicious of those who don't.
Oh, it's NOT our problem huh ?
Wish we could get a quick replacement for oil and get you working in some other industry ... fast food perhaps.
This war is not Vietnam.
A war was started. How it began is not important. Why it began is. Everyone knows the answer to this simple question. But no one wants to admit the truth. As the people in this nation. The majority rules. The minority may complain and argue about the decision made. But we must all accept the decision weather we like it or not.
After the Great Tragedy of 9-11. The majority of the people were consumed by a primal instinct. All logic and reason over powered by revenge. Along with miss information the war in Iraq had begun. Many soldiers died in this war. But finally the war was won. But in wining the war. We opened the door to a Greater Evil. Now the brave and weary soldiers must stay and defend the people of the land they invaded. They must teach the people how to defend themselves against this evil. But this task is not an easy one. Some rebel and refuse to learn from these soldiers, because they invaded their land without reason. Others welcome any and all help they can provide. And there are those who are part of this evil. They work with and help the soldiers. But once confidence is gain. All information they learned is used to destroy our soldiers.
The enemy is no longer in plain sight, like the first war. The enemy is now everywhere and cannot be seen. Now the solders must still trust the people of the land. But must also keep a careful eye on everyone. If they do not trust them they will lose the few people of the land that are helping and who want the help. Frustrated and enervated the solders and the people press on.
The time has passed. And the majority of the people’s revenge has been replaced by regret. Most of the Minority have restarted their arguments and complains to boast to the majority “Who was right and who was wrong”. Now the majority feeling the regret of sending the soldiers to a war that shouldn’t have happened, along with a large part of the minority. Want to bring the solders back home. Not realizing that the evil that was released by the war, would consume the land. And grow to be a greater threat to this nation and to the world.
The final question is no longer why. But how will this conflict end. Will we vanquish this evil that was unleashed upon the land. Or retreat and let the evil consume the land. I can only hope that the right answer prevails, over the answer given out of regret and remorse. If this Evil grows. We people now may see very little of it. But what burden will our children inherit?
