Can you mix atf and psf together?
Mixing automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and power steering fluid (PSF) is generally not recommended. Each fluid is formulated for specific functions and mixing them can lead to reduced lubrication, increased wear, and potential damage to the transmission or power steering system. If you're in a pinch and need to top off, it's best to use the appropriate fluid for each system. Always consult your vehicle's owner manual for the correct specifications.

On the sideskirts next to each wheel well are round plastic caps. Pop off whichever one is by the wheel you are removing, and you will see a hole. The jack has a peg which folds out & fits right in there. So insert the peg & position the jack as you would with a regular one.
Which oil do you use for your BMW?
A lot depends on two things , first is it a diesel or petrol and second how old is the vehicle. There are many different oils out there but I have always used Castrol Magnatec on my 318i 1988 since I ve had it(1992) and covered 166000 miles. For a new or newer BMW I would use the best Synthetic you can afford.
What kind of oil for a 1993 Plymouth acclaim?
It doesnt matter what oil you use, the oil is whatever the user of the vehicle likes, i like Valvoline myself, its probably the best motor oil out there... don't use Quakerstate, ive heard some pretty bad stories of how that will build up gunk, and aventionally, youll have to get that out in order to keep a good running engine... i always use Valvoline 10W 30... but you don't have to, you can use a higher or lighter weight oil if you prefur.
=================================================================================================================
Actually, my father was a high-speed racing instructor and has been an automotive mechanic for around thirty years - and any conventional motor oil will degrade and gunk up engines eventually. If you plan on keeping a car for a long time, it is essential you use a synthetic motor oil. AMSoil is the leading 100% synthetic brand (don't be fooled by the larger brand "synthetic"s that basically throw additives into crude oil), and it is so effective at reducing engine wear that it is recommended to use regular for the first 3-5k miles to "break in" the engine. In fact, if you have been using crude oil for years on an engine and switch to AMSoil, you may suddenly find oil leaks because the crude oil has crusted over damage to the engine that it participated in causing.
AMSoil is typically around twice as much as typical crude oils, but you can go nearly twice as far on between oil changes, so it balances out. Well, when you minus the cost of repairs you won't be doing because of the added protection, it far reduces the cost of overall maintenance. If you have any more questions or interest in trying AMSoil out you can e-mail me at ckeller05 (at) wou (dot) edu.
We have used AMSoil in every race vehicle and passenger vehicle we have owned, and all my dad's clients have willingly chosen to switch over from conventional, crude oils.

What does the Z mean as in z3?
The Germans are very straight people and the technik is always more important than imagination or design. Except Z3!
What makes the Z3 an unique BMW is that the father (designer) was a Japanese, the base chassis is from E36 (a very reliable, strong and popular chassis) and the production was done for the first time in USA in Spartanburg.
Z3 will always be the first reliable and popular roadster of BMW, realized in a very cosmopolite world , the first roadster after the expensive roadster 507 (1956), keeping his shapes in a excellent retro style.
It will always be a collectible and a real roadster for normal peoples. Unisex and affordable.
The Z3 meaning is interesting and disarming simple: Z comes from "Zukunft" , in German means : future. And 3 is the version of the vehicle.
It is also one of the cars with the shortest Brand/Type name in the world: only 5 letters! try to find how many you will find!
