The cap on my oil plug says SAE-5W20. I have SAE 5W-30. Can I still use the 30 or will it hurt my engine.

I heard an interview with the director on NPR about it maybe a year ago. I think the plot was something like "a family did not want a dog anymore and dropped it off somewhere" The dog befriended a child and a bunch of other dogs. It was filmed in Europe and I remember them saying they used a ton of trained dogs in the filming. The name I m pretty sure was short and began with an "A". Like "Aslan" or something like that. Would have come out in 2013, 2014, or 2015.

I have the following question on my biolg homework and cannot find a suitable answer anywhere online. Scales on the X and Y axes may sometimes be floating (not meeting in the lower left corner). When and why would you use this technique?

I am replacing a kitchen faucet and the old one has supply line fittings way up under the sink. I have no hope of getting a wrench up the to detach. So I took a torch and tried to loosen it so that I could take it off. But I guess the solder won t melt. It seemed like it started to do so but the fitting is still stuck tight. I have a pipe cutter but I can t get it in there either. Ideas? [See photo] http://imgur.com/9mrLoKB

I am thinking about buying a used 2010 model sedan in an auction. It has 122,000 miles. Per auction rules I can't test drive it. I was only able to pull forward and back to make sure it drives. It seems to run. I didn't see any leaks. But my only concern is that when I first turned it on I let it run for 2 minutes and the RPM's fluxated a bit. It didn't come close to stalling or anything. Just concerned me. How likely is this an indication of a costly fix?

I took off my rotor and caliper and see the wire harness leading into the wheel. I can't find anything online that shows the exact spot. I see some Chevy Silverado videos on youTube that show it in a nice location at the top front of the wheel. I think mine might be in back of the wheel? Does that make sense? If so, I think it may be too hard for me to replace myself and will take it to a shop. HEre is a link to a photo I took of it: http://imgur.com/2EcmSxN/

There a 4 fasteners. Sort of like screws. 2 are fine. One is missing. And the other is broken off inside the screw hole. Any suggestions on what to do? Is there a certain type of fastener to get and should I just try to screw it up in the old hole? (2004 Chevy Venture)

It has been very cold here and the last 4 mornings my car barely turns over but does finally spring to life and start. Each time the clock has reset itself to 12:00. Could I need a new battery or is cold weather the only culprit? Can a car parts place like Autozone test my battery for me? (2004 Chevy Venture)
