I can't believe it!!! My car overheated!!!
My piece of shxt LS400 was overheated today at noon. It was about 100 degrees outside and my temp guage went up to 3/4. Then I shut down the A/C and blast the heater then the temp came down(I was 1/2 mile away from home.) I realy can't take it no more !!!!!!!! This car is soooooooo slow, no power. super sqeaky brakes(don't even talk about the stopping power, it SUCKS!!!) Now it's overheating.........
I really want to dump this piece of junk by the road

Overheating?......Try....
I had a problem many years ago with a 1983 LTD Ford. the reason it did was an oil leak at the oil pan..... anyway.I, personally, was too cheep to repair the oil leak and decided to try a new product called DURA-LUBE. It worked so well as to never add oil again for "28,000" miles, even as much as evaporating all the coolant from the radiator...."twice".
I sold the car because the body rotted out before the engine died and that still went, as it was in the car, for another "20,000" miles before he rolled the Bronco II it was in. And he said it still ran after that...!
If you asked me to try this stuff in the same situation your in, I'd try anything once...
Believe me THIS STUFF WORKS!!!!!!

good to see another taiwanese on this board....
i never had an overheat problem on my LS400, not even sitting in traffic with A/C in over 100 degree temperatures. Coolant temp needle never budged. I do agree with you that the stopping power of the brakes are not so great. The squeak I believe comes from the semi-metallic material they manufacture the brakes out of.
power wise - it depends what you're comparing against. my 13 year old LS with 166K might not be as quick as my 99 E430, but it does run quieter and smoother than any mercedes will.......

power depends all engine maintainence and how much you spend on repairing the exhaust leaks and other performance related parts.. I know for a fact.. my car runs near if not full power right now after spending thousands on repairs

Seriously, Try Dura-lube...That stuff really helps. plus.. I also agree with the thermostat.

An extra note on engine repairs for power, I also tried the product ZMax. It not only increased milage, It really cleaned out internal componants and lowered my 1/4 mi. time by.09 sec.
I'm impressed.

Can I fill up my motor with just all DuraLube and not motor oil?

you have a car with close to two hundered thousand miles on it, and your crying about the car needing some work. what do you expect of a car with that many miles on it.? These are great automobils And I am not some kid saying it. Before you start calling the car a peice of s--t I suggest you learn something about averedge car longevity.
