Does a car loan start over when you refinance?

Usually, I bring my car in to have my engine oil changed, but I recently topped the oil up myself using oil that my husband uses for his car. I’ve noticed my fuel efficiency is worse and I wonder if it’s because of the oil I put in my car. Do you know what the symptoms of engine oil that’s too thick for my car are?

I’ve crunched the numbers and I don’t think I can afford a car loan right now. I’ve heard that leasing a car is less expensive than buying one, but what are the income requirements for a car lease?

I live in Florida, so we usually have a ceiling fan running to help cool down our apartment. Lately, our ceiling fan has been making a ticking noise. I didn’t notice it at first, but now it’s driving me crazy! How can I stop a ceiling fan from making a ticking noise?
