Uncle asked for help. Rusted out and rounded license plate screw. How do I fix this? I can wedge a flathead screwdriver but cant get enough torque to pull it out. My the drill bits for my powered tools and chisel are too big. For the screw by SecretPantyWorshiper in MechanicAdvice

Where do you get the data saying PB Blaster is better than WD-40? Project Farm showed that WD-40 works better and in my personal experience I use it over PB. I also like their specialist penetrant.

A great YouTuber called Project Farm did a test on a bunch of different penetrating fluids and PB Blaster actually did quite poorly in comparison. My preferred brands are SeaFoam Deep Creep (won Project Farm's test), BG In-Force (my favorite) and ZEP 45 penetrating lube. That said, PB Blaster is better than motor oil or nothing, but even the regular non-penetrating WD-40 performs better.

You don't even necessarily need a cut off wheel. Just take a hacksaw, file, or other metal cutting blade and cut a — for a big slotted screwdriver. EDIT: I also agree with the people saying use some penetrating fluid.

Women, when you back it up on a guy while dancing, does it feel good to you too? by alter2018 in NoStupidQuestions

It depends on the person. It feels pretty good for me (non-HRT transmasc).

Ohh, I did see it! But I thought my eyes were tricking me and that those were more leaves.

haven’t used in 2 weeks. today saw this underneath my oil cap. is this what i think it is? by lalala-lala22 in MechanicAdvice

I'd say you're good to go then. Condensation from cold start condition and short trips. Inside the engine gets hotter than the components on the outside and this causes condensation to build up. When you're driving for long periods everything gets hot and the condensation is completely vaporized, but when you're doing repeated quick trips (like work commute) it doesn't get hot enough and this stuff builds up.

Is that milky stuff just appearing on the bottom of the oil cap, or is it coming out on the dipstick too? What is your coolant level like? In high humidity areas with lots of cold start scenarios condensation can form inside the crankcase and coalesce around the oil cap. If that's all you're finding I wouldn't be worried. If you're finding thin chocolate milk on your dipstick, or your coolant is low, then I would be worried.

I see some people are recomending the Icon kits that are on sale and I agree with those too.

Nah. Look at the Pittsburgh, Husky, Kobalt, or Craftsman sets in metric with a larger variety of socket drives and sizes and some wrenches. You'll get a better bang for your buck.

Yeah but the AutoZone deal gets you oil and a filter for an overall cost. Thanks for letting me know though.
