    Mazda CX5 brakes- higher coefficient of friction

    Maybe I am one of the few who don’t care for a CoF of GG for “initial bite”. I do prefer FF. But I m not aggressive. However, I don’t know how much initial bite you’re looking to get. Initial bite to me is getting in the vehicle before the brakes have been used at all(doesn’t matter the outside...

    Fram Ultra XG7317 C&P 13000 miles

    Nice! I used the same Ultra 7317 from Walmart or the Titanium 7317 from Advance Auto. I do have some CarQuest Premium filters now that the FRAM are no longer available.

    My Own Redline SI-1 Test

    I don’t think you can get better fuel economy if you haven’t first lost fuel economy. The claims always state; “Improves Fuel Economy”, when it should state that the product could return fuel economy to normal(for your vehicle).

    Battery tester accuracy?

    IDK so this is of no help or answer to your question. I typically do my parts shopping shop at AAP. So now & again I’ll stop in to have my older car batteries tested for free. Usually the batteries show to be in good shape. Then I will drive directly across the street to AZ and have them do...

    Project Farm tests Walmart and O'Reilly batteries

    I for one appreciate PF’s hard work on all of his testing, video & editing. I don’t take any of it as gospel, just a guideline. But he certainly gets an “A” for effort and I don’t have to do anything except sit back with a hot beverage and watch and FF through the parts that I don’t want to...

    Project Farm tests Walmart and O'Reilly batteries

    We now have O-O-O-O’Reilly’s not far from me. I’ll have to check them out. I’d like to see more testing on other group size batteries. I mean, we know that the group 65 is better but what about others?

    I can't work on my cars anymore.

    I’m doing less & less on my vehicles. However I am also keeping my vehicles for shorter periods as well. I still do oil changes and brakes and maybe the occasional sensors/solenoids but I don’t want to do suspension or exhaust work any longer.
