On my car,I couldn't smell fuel,but I had 7,500 miles on the 10,000 mile recommended service.I was set to go on a long trip so I had the oil changed and analyzed.It came back excessive fuel dilution according to Polaris Labs.I do lots of short trips so it didnt really surprise me.When I got back...

Does by chance the small engine version have zinc in it?

I understand the concern with the less than idea price and finding something safe and somewhat decent looking.Your eyes are very important,in a guys world it doesn't take long to cause a problem and it could be career altering

Totally agree with the losing the socket vs using the nut driver.My old Freightliner had a really small bolt and nut going thru the wiper blade.Standing on a tire,flash lite in your mouth,little screw driver'wedgy type',I don't need to have to look for no darn socket!!!!! I also drilled a small...

Looks like a nice set, always nice to have choices

I'd call the dealer and the factory,after checking for info on the axle.I'd also make up a trailer bag with tools.Research lug locks,hitch locks,tire inflater that works on your battery line up.A good tire guage is a must.I also use a digital temperatures guage,you can prevent problems from...

Get one that fits your favorite cordless battery line up.You will wonder how you ever got along without it.You will now easily extend your tire life by keeping tires inflated to proper levels.Its safer as you don't have to limp looking for a station and causing damage to tire and rim.I...

The meaning of the word 'patriot'has changed,I think Klein makes a good tool,regardless of COO

Thank you john_pifer,I really appreciate your response.I made the mistake of having a dealer give me an appraisal on line.I explained that thats all I wanted as I was scheduled for vocal cord surgery and rehab.I got the appraisal,but non stop calls,I have only a slight whisper.Non stop...

Interesting who's van is nicer,Toyota or Honda!But I'm in the market for a new vehicle and I was hoping for some tips or strategy ,experiences on fighting back to the add on game

Not to be the bearer of bad news,but out of respect for your Dad,keep your phone handy

My car is under warrenty so I pucker up and let the dealer do it.About once a year I do a sample thru oil analyzers.That should be acceptable, I would think

I passed on CRV in 2019 when I bought a new car.Honda had a known fuel dilution problem,but didn't seem to concerned.I'm looking again and that warranty makes it very attractive.My question is ,are required to do all services as recommended at Honda only shops?

That seems more than reasonable to me.If you trade,It probably doesn't transfer,is that correct?

Totally agree we will probably have to wait for some high mileage cars with some thorough O.A.data,did the oil and fuel rise on the stick,drivers habits and was the car subject to severe service,meaning short trips.There were so many great responses here,depending on your personal habits,you can...
