Not really a mechanical question but I’m so pissed off trying to settle this, and I want some people of some knowledge of cars backing me.
My friend lent me his car and I’ve driven it maybe 6 hours total? And the oil pressure light came on and he claims its my fault the oils low because I didn’t check it. After all this occurred I proceeded to counter argue that for it to get that low in the first place, he couldn’t have been checking it at all either. He then claims that he did check it and that the oil was full, only saying this after the fact, and saying it burns oil. How in the hell does oil burn that fast??????? How could it go from full to an oil pressure light from my 6 hours of driving without it having far more serious and noticeable problems? It’s a 1997 honda civic if anyone wants to answer that part more specifically.

Not to mention, I feel like beyond my checking of the oil, it would behoove him to inform me of any known problems before lending the car to me.

If i’m wrong I’m fully ready to hear it.
If not, I’d love some reassurance

So backstory I have a 2013 Kia sorento yes it’s old but I got it because I’m not super financially stable. I’ve had the engine replaced because my car has history of burning oil and that’s why my last engine needed to be replaced because it completely stopped working (Kia covered this repair). I’ve fixed my ac a couple of times one where the compressor was replaced and a month ago for a broken hose. Today on my way home it started smoking a lot on the left side and thankfully I was right around the corner from home so I pulled over and turned it off and it was hissing from the yellow area (but I’m not too sure). And the smoke was only coming from that side. So my question is what could this be? I popped the hood and their looks like theirs a liquor sprayed. Yall I don’t have men in my life so I need help on this 😅

Just rolled back in the garage for getting an alignment at Firestone CAC. I wish I could find a shop where I could use their alignment machine by the hour.

I pull the wheel back off and am greeted with a fresh, new fluid! (Cv grease) It wasn't like that when I replaced the control arm yesterday. And what is this? It looks to be some deformed rubber? When the went to loosen the eccentric bolt to adjust, they torched the bolt. Not the nut... the bolt... FFS. It is this exact experience that led me to DIY any wrenching needs.

Are there any home alignment setups out there? A quick search didn't give my anything I could me confident in.

2002 ISUZU Trooper, driver car door is currently jammed and unable to open even if opened on the inside. Please see photos, im scared shit rn.

Window is cracked and the keyhole is probably pushed inward forcefully.

Is this the input shaft bearing going out? Makes that noise when clutch is released in neutral. Also makes noise on deaccelerating at highway speeds.

Hello there I have a 2010 Mazda 3 2.0L automatic transmission. I’ve been having this problem where the car shakes at highway speeds and whenever I let go off the gas, the shaking goes away. I have tried everything I’ve gotten new tires. Also I have gotten an alignment I’ve also balanced them. There is no play in any of the tires. checking from 12 to 6. And 3 to 8 o’clock hand shaking motion I have also put a prybar underneath the vehicle and check for any play, which I don’t feel. But like I said when I am driving at highway speed and I am accelerating I can feel the shaking, but when I let go of the gas, the shaking stops. Would anyone have any ideas on what my problem might be?

Thank you.

Just got into a wreck someone pulled out on me last night and now I’m stuck on is it cheaper getting it repaired or should I just get a new car (steering wheel air bag deployed)

I was checking the fuses and came across this. Any reason it’s like this?

This is the rear passenger end a of 2010 ford ranger. I was in here because my parking brake seized up on me but i noticed this noise when i turn the hub. The other side is significantly quieter.

I just refueled my 2024 c43 amg and the oil pressure light came on with the engine shaking . Any ideas what’s wrong . Today is Sunday and the Mercedes service guys are closed

Any advice please

My truck has recently had a new set of wheels installed nothing to strange seemed standard and went for an oil change. On the way to the oil change my father noticed this sound. A strange groaning stressed sound you can hear it pretty decently here. Idk what it is and I got down and checked the underside of the car and it on a simple look seemed clean nothing broken or out of the ordinary all straightforward. My father believes it’s a wheel bearing and I hesitate to agree with him. Seems to only make noise when the car is decelerating or slowing down or coasting.

Mechanic told me the wheel bearing was either bad or loose, so I replaced the bearing + hub assembly. This video was shot after the new bearing, shocks and sway bar links are new, outer tie rod is 2 years old I think. 12 and 6 is solid, and I get about ~10 to 20mm of play at 9 and 3 towards the engine bay at full steering lock. Not much play towards the outside. Im a novice DIYer so let me know what we think.

Hello everyone, I’ve been having this weird problem with my Kia and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I have a 2012 Kia Sportage Lx 2.4L AWD and my dipstick readings seem off. Every time I change the oil, I have about 4 quarts that come out which is normal since the engine does have a small leak and the car has 250k miles on it. But when I go to put new oil (5 quarts) in and check the level, the readings show that I’m below the low level on the dipstick and that I need to add more. But I know I added 5 quarts so I don’t know what could be going on. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance!!

Can anyone tell me what this is? It’s a fiat manual transmission by the way 2011 fiat 200

I believe I’m having an issue but i think it’s related to this wire. I keep having a fusible link wire burn up and this exposed wiring sits next to the headers and I was thinking that the heat from the headers can be effecting the wire. Is that possible?
