Congrats on the car, very wise choice.

I've been replacing the filter on my 2018 Avalon and my sisters' 2018 Rav4 since new. One has the metal housing, the other plastic. Never had a problem with either, I don't see what the fuss is about. I treat it like an ordinary filter, I remove the entire housing and never remove the end cap...

Agreed. Nick Norwitz is an example of this. Next time I see my doctor I'm going to ask for a carotid ultrasound and a heart scan. If my arteries are clear, hell I'll go back to the ribeye steaks for sure. :ROFLMAO:

These are the guidelines from the American Heart Assoc. about saturated fat. I realize that our Health Secretary JFK has different ideas, and I don't criticize anyone who chooses that path. https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/healthy-eating/eat-smart/fats/saturated-fats

I don't see an A1C test anywhere on these two sheets of printouts but glucose is 88 Everything on these sheets is in range except my total cholesterol and ldl levels

Beef is high in saturated fat. That's the type of fat that clogs arteries. Chicken and lean cuts of pork have much less saturated fat

I'm 66 and 5ft 10" Don't know my BMI but after dropping 10 from the waist I'm now down to 180. So I am not fat for sure. Don't smoke. Drink very moderately. The new standard is to have your LDL below 100. I thought the standard used to be under 130 but I can't say for sure, maybe someone can...

A few weeks ago my doctor informed me my cholesterol was high. total 213 hdl 66 triglycerides 58 ldl 133 I was pissed off at him that he hasn't been checking it every yr. That's his job, not mine. He wanted to start me on statins and I said no freaking way. So Im trying diet first. Anyway, I...

No saddlebag guards? Drop it once and it's going to cost big time to replace a bag, and sooner or later you are going to drop it or worse.

The past week I've tried something new. I've been doing kind of a Vietnamese coffee thing. I take an egg yolk and unsweetened condensed milk (as opposed to sweetened used in traditional Vietnamese coffee) and froth it up. Pour it on top of my usual Lavazza Super Crema brewed out of my...

My perfect daily driver around Chicago. 2001 Blazer. Steel bumpers for big city traffic. Undesirable to carjackers, and high enough ground clearance to run over those dumb enough to try. Four wheel drive for snow. Capable home improvement center cargo hauler. No worry's about parking lot dings...

I used to own a 1976 Plymouth Volare with a Slant 6 that used a quart of oil every 600 miles. I used to drain the 20w-50 out of my Harley and pour it right into that Slant 6. That slowed down the burning a bit. So yes, there is a time and place to use old oil. Burning oil aside, that Slant 6...

Has anybody noticed that free Carfax reports are gone from cars.com? Seems like it happened a month or two ago. I guess since Carfax started their own car selling site, they'd keep the reports to themselves.

That's what someone said a year ago, yet the level is approx 1/8" down from full when hot. So it might be leaking, but at the rate of 1 drop/month. Zero condensation on the windows. Considering it's a 25 yr old vehicle that I pad $6400 for 11 yrs ago, I consider it a success to avoid a $1000+...

Are you talking about a car/truck or a motorcycle?
