Had the same problem in my garage in my 1st house....Detached garage. Took a sawzall and made cut outs on the back wall near the roof. Installed 2 belt driven exhaust fans. The fans were not that expensive. ( Harbor Freight Garbage), but it worked. There's nothing free that will solve you're...

Their using the 20W due to CAFE / gas mileage / etc. Every manufacturer has to meet CAFE standards , weight standards, emissions standards, mileage standards. That's why all these new cars are like beer cans. You lean on them, and now you have a dent to look at.

Vehicle would be MUCH appreciated and VERY well maintained. I know that CRV like the back of my hand. If I can't properly maintain it, why would my 13' CRV have 614, 960k on it.??? ( She was out with it today, miles went up :) LOL ) She needs it for work, food shopping, etc. Vehicle would be...

I concur, never again...Leak like crazy

Yep, so did I, Lithium in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. They never leak.

Don't use them on the 18' Rogue. Try a filter with a regular gasket. They are thicker than the adbv gasket. You may be right about that burst of oil against the adbv gasket. Go with you're gut. :)

13' CRV AWD K24 engine / 614,934k / original owner / New York 20-90 degree temps on average / cap says 0W20 / use 0W20 - 20 k synthetic / 3k OCI intervals with OEM filters / Still going as daily driver

That's a fairly big engine, so I would expect some machining leftovers. Do a few more short mileage OCI's and see if it clears it. Apples to oranges example here : The oil in my new Briggs riding mower looked liked it had someone dump tons of metal into the oil. 3 - OCI's later, it cleared up.

They are shutting down most coal fueled powered plants due to environment. They cut back on natural gas fueled power plants because of the environment. They are pushing solar unsafe solar farms ( Lith Ion storage battery fires ), they are pushing wind power ( even though the blades needs...

John, you are not " out of touch ". I don't know how old you are, or the age of the parents of the kids in question. I see it ALL the time where I live in NY. I'm 58, my wife is 51, our only child, ( daughter), is going to be 14. Yes, we are old parents. But, are also old school. My wife's 1st...

Never had any issues with Super Tech 0W20 or 5W30 synthetic.

Critic..ran a few EPR's on that 2AZ-FE engine with the mag valve cover. Then I replaced the cover with an aluminum one. That old mag cover was SPOTLESS. The rest of the top end wasn't as clean as that mag cover. You could eat off this this thing. I do believe the EPR was interacting with that...

Yes, max temp / 1200 RPM / I think it was 20 minutes, then dump

You can get BG EPR PN 109 anywhere. Just type it into google. I usually get mine from E-Bay or Scamazon, whoever is runnin the better deal. Cleaned up my 13' Honda CRV in just 2 OCI's !!!! The thing was blowing blue smoke out the tail CONSTANTLY. The more gas you give it, the more smoke. Coked...

Poor is a problem. Totally understandable. I'm borderline poor. Scrapyard Cat is you're cheapest way out. Go on E-Bay and start hunting. Too poor for that. Straight pipe and 2 clamps. Inspection is a problem, unless you can " borrow" a sticker in the middle of the night. Eventually...
