    How do you like the driving aids in today's cars?

    Not that I want them in my vehicles but as I get older, I probably need them.

    Are Hyundais reliable?

    If statistical reliability is your concern, buy Toyota. No one can dispute their record.

    Help Selecting Front Hub Bearings

    If you're going to keep the Suburban for any length of time, use GM OE It's also my understanding that for aftermarket, SKF would be the other choice.

    Chevron Supreme Anyone

    I haven’t used Chevron in quite some time as I just don’t see it anywhere that I shop. Not that I go looking for it either. And if I have run into it, the price is no particular bargain or I’ve just walked by it without noticing it. When I discovered BITOG ~ 2004, Chevron Supreme was one of the...

    Prime Guard POF-111 New C&P

    The filter looks very good as do the fiber end caps. Heck, even the paint work & graphics looks good on the filter can.

    Anyone using a Euro oil in older vehicles?

    My only concern for myself is that my Firebird FORMULA V8 does have a little bit of blow-by and that there is extra ppm of zinc compared to conv/syn 5W/10W 30 or 40. And this could pollute my OE cat.conv. over a period of time.

    I typically use 5W30/10W30 however, I have entertained the thought and may want to try a EURO(0W40) oil in the 1980 Firebird FORMULA V8 in my signature(click link below). However, I have also tried/used on occasion over the past 43 years, an HDEO and I like them. I may now try e.g., Rotella...

    Always feeling tired, waking up tired.......

    I have more energy today than I had at 18. But keep in mind that I say energy, not strength. A lot of mine was laziness, staying up too late, girlfriends:p and maybe lack of enthusiasm. I too wake up tired but at the same time I feel rested. There's a difference! Once I get up and moving around...

    Traded in the Sonata for a Malibu. Dealership issue.

    I am a fan of CVTs in everyday vehicles. I just like the way they go about their business. I don't WOT enough that it bothers me not having a stepped shift auto. If I want something else, I'll just buy something else.

    2023 Toyota Venza LE(Hybrid/AWD) 7 month review

    One last thing that I can say about the VENZA is that, though it isn't advertised or in any of the VENAZ's literature, the car does have "Pinch Protection" for the automatic power windows. Maybe all vehicles do today but it was something that our 2001 RX300 had back then. And I wasn't sure if...
