well i went to get my marvels mystery oil for my stuck lifter and got in and no start

 

soo...

 

found a new starter alls good there however after i changed the starter i was sitting on a hill pointing up, fairly steep, and i couldnt get it to shift out of park,(AT obviously). so i got out and pushed up on the car ,(uphill ), and my wife shifted it right out?!?

 

ok if im there but if she was by herself we would have a problem

 

wonder what would cause this??

 

any help would be appriciated

 

also i have bought a bosch oil filter to change the oil and my mystery oil just wondering if this is the right one it is a bosch premium oil filter part #3310 anyone know if this is the best or not

 

thx in advance

I believe this is related to your problem in your previous thread. You need to get it checked out by a tranny shop with good references.

 

Theres not to many things Bosch that I would put on/in my car and a oil filter is certainly one I wouldnt use. Wix, Purolator, Napa Gold.

And definitely not Fram.

You had so much pressure on the parking gear that you couldn't get it out of park. Use the ebrake next time and you'll be fine.

so bosch is really a bad filter

 

 

i was under the impression it was fairly good?

Well i can tell you for a fact their injection systems suck rump roast.

 

I personally use AC Delco, Frams are really bad and the only bosch filter ive seen looked a bit cheap on construction.

 

You could do worse but if its only gonna be on there for a couple thousand miles i wouldnt stress too hard.

NAPA all the way......

thanks all

 

well im gonna go put the marvels oil in and hope for the best every body cross your fingers

 

just gonna run it bout a thousand miles with the marvels and the bosch then im gonna order me a oil filter from subaru and change the oil again

Re the oil filter: you don't need to go to a dealer (unless the dealer offers an excellent price.)

 

As Turbone said--Wix, Purolator and Napa Gold are generally considered to be very good quality.

I experienced a different type of problem with the auto tranny not wanting to disengage from park. There is a, for lack of a more technical term, button beneath the trim around the shifter that can get gunked up by dust, or spilled soda, or whatever. If you depress it with a small screwdriver, or a pencil, or whatever handy thin object might be available, it shifts out of park quite easily. I have since sprayed it down with brake cleaner and then lubed it up and have had no more problems with it. You might give that a shot if it happens again.

thanks for all the help

Agree, Fram standard line oil filters are really bad. I heard else where that there wasn't much to them. So, hearing that, I changed oil and filter, removed the Fram from my car, and made it a point to dissect the Fram oil filter. I cut it open to find very little inside the filter. I try very hard not to use Fram filters, but in a pinch, I use their top of the line, which has a little better reputation.

I've used WIX with no problems, K&N is pricey (if you can find the right one), but I prefer the OEM.
