We still have some stations here that proudly advertise ethanol free fuel. Those are the ones that I try to use. Now If it comes down to 10 percent in chevron fuel or Philips or exxon with no ethanol which would you use?

I hope to have some time in my extra busy schedule to degrees the motor next weekend. I appreciate the hints and help. I was probably mistaking the oil cooler for transmission cooler you are right. That car has a full warranty i purchased with the car this summer. The dealership I intend to take it ...

I have used Chevron premium fuel up till recently. All the Chevrons in the area have started to add ethanol at 10%. When that happened I saw a decrease in my MPG. So I started to fill up with premium philips or exon.
What I would like to know is peoples thoughts on Ethanol? Good or bad?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have really been trying lately to start out slower and coast longer before intersections. It is so hard to do in that car. These cars are just so much fun. I had 2 of the local supply stores say it was no benefit to use the EoA oil filter. One mentioned it was just ...

Your trip that you mention, is that in town, stop and go, all highway or a mix?

Do you have the SES light on? Has the IAC been cleaned? LIM gaskets vere been changed or any loss of coolant?

The trip that my wife took was a long drive 300 miles with just rest stops at 75mph. This is the trip that ...

Still learning how it all works thanks for moving it. I think I got it figured out now.

Thank you for the link.

This car is the first on I have owned with a super charger. I imagine there is some maintenance that goes with it. A couple of questions. First how often do I need to check the oil in the charger? Second how often should it be changed? Are there any oils that are better then others for changing or ...

I drive my car daily to school. Round trip is around 90 miles. So I have been trying to figure out how to get a little better mileage. I Changed the oil yesterday and put in Amsoil 10w30 with a wix filter. Ill let you know the results in couple of weeks. Any other small suggestions for increasing ...

My 03 ssei after driving it hard has an oil smell that comes into the cab. :bluetwitch: I only notice it after I have really been pushing it. I have monitored the oil level and it does not move. It has stayed at full. When I bought the car (from a dealership :twisted: ) they had overfilled it by a ...

[quote="00Beast"]First off your Info says 03 SSEi, but your post says 02. Please clear that up.

Good pressure is around 42 at idle, and going up when you apply the throttle.

Have you removed the vacuum line from the fuel pressure regulator and smelled it for gas? If you smell gas, it's leaking ...

The 02 got New wires and plugs, pcv valve, fuel filter, air filter, cleaned the MAS and put a new primary O2 sensor on about 10,000 ago at 107,000

I got 2 Bonneville's. My wife's is the 02 se and mine is the 03 ssei. I have my car stock. I really do not want to do any heavy mods. She gets me in trouble enough as it is.
My wife does a lot of back and forth to town driving and with that she is getting around 19-21 mpg. She has taken it to salt ...

I am looking to replace the fuel pump in my 2002 Bonneville. I don't know for sure yet but I think it is putting out low pressure. When i start the car first thing in the morning it starts fine then dies when i put it in gear. after starting it again and running for a min it runs fine. A mechanic ...

I have been a Bonneville owner since I bought my 88 back in 02. I loved the reliability of this car. Last year I purchased my wife a 2002 se. I wanted to read what other Bonneville owners were doing to increase MPG and performance on their machines. After a brief Google search I ended up here. After ...
