    I miss bench seats.

    I miss bench seats as well. Been married 46 years and I also miss my ‘73 Newport Custom and my lady right next to me. Brought our new born daughter home in this car.

    What would happen if I just ran 10w30 in my 2019 camry hybrid?

    I am currently using the allowed 0W20(0W16 required) in my 2023 Toyota Venza for this oil change, MAY-OCT 2026. I will go back to 0W16 on the next oil change, NOV’26-APR’27 while still under warranty. I believe what others believe in that a good synthetic 5W30 won’t hurt a thing. And depending...

    1998 Jeep XJ Cherokee - New Power Steering Pump Whining After Bleeding

    I have mentioned this in numerous threads in the past and even recently. Try replacing as much of you new power steering fluid with HONDA Genuine Power Steering Fluid. This has helped to quiet down many power steering units, mostly from GM put other makes as well during the 1990’s and your...

    Prestone Power Steering Fluid at Home Depot

    ^^^In addition to this, I have helped others(mostly GM vehicles) where there was power steering pump whining/groaning and have used Honda P/S fluid to quiet the noise. IDK what is in Honda’s special sauce but it seemed to work especially during the 1990’s.

    Prestone Power Steering Fluid at Home Depot

    I have used aftermarket Honda p/s fluid with reasonable success, (Bardahl being one of them). However, what I have noticed is that the steering becomes sticky when outside temperatures approach 0 deg F. Otherwise they're fine. I do give a thumbs up to the LugeGard Honda/Acura P/S Fluid as being...

    Prestone Power Steering Fluid at Home Depot

    I made the BIG mistake by putting in a non HONDA/ACURA P/S fluid into my ACCORD’s P/S system and my steering became very stiff and I lost steering return. Some Honda vehicles experienced different issues with their steering while others may not. I can’t answer as to why Honda/Acura P/S system is...

    Downsizing elantra to 16 inch wheels? Dealers giving mixed answers

    225/45/17 = 24.97" tire diameter 205/55/16 = 24.87" tire diameter That's only 1/10". ;) I've done it on several vehicles though not an Elantra. I have done it on 2 Civic's, 2 Altima's and a Mazda 3 for winter tire usage. Not only going down in wheel size, I've also gone up in diameter for...

    Sold my 2021 Altima "accidentally"

    My SIL currently has a '17 Murano that she bought it new in '17. This particular dealer was discounting them a boat load of money at that time and she has driven it without issue for 9 years thus far and never even thought about the CVT. I've driven her Murano lately myself and even took it on...
