This is not a good assumption. If a filter has more surface area it may be compensating for more restrictive media. The net effect could be better, worse, or the same...anyone's guess. You need actual data to know.

The "R" if 51R implies the positive battery post is on the right. So there's no way that is different.

The Platinum has a lower CCA which may bump it below the minimum spec for the CRV? Or maybe they know how bad Honda's battery management is and don't want to be warrantying AGMs for them.

Something like this, though they're sold as dozen, you can probably find smaller quantity somewhere https://www.uline.com/Product/Detail/S-17134BL-X/Polyurethane-Coated-Gloves/Ansell-HyFlex-11-600-Polyurethane-Coated-Gloves-Black-XL

How would you know you see no drop in mileage versus ideal case? There's so many variables here, the only way to know would be a very well controlled study which is not practical. As a mechanical engineer you should understand that you replace things before failure to avoid catastrophic or...

No, it does not exist and likely can't be disclosed.

I think like anything it depends on the system and what is was optimized for. In general I would think tire wear is more even between front and rear, because A) you have rear tires turning, but also B) turning should be more effective with less wear on the front.

This lightbulb came out of a hanging basic chandelier and seems to not exist anymore...would like to match the other lights as best as possible. GE 760 lumens/5W/2700k. Most lights at 750-760 lumen seem to be 8-9+W and claim 60W equivalent. Don't really care about that, but I had another 60W...

For a luxury vehicle one might have the expectation that they shouldn't need to seek additional tint. But having said that factory tint will have to adhere to a general spec which covers most/all of the market area (USA) and we know states impose very different laws on tint/VLT.

PEA can be chemically written several ways, and this is one of them. Its PEA.

I don't think it is that straightforward, I've given it some thought and done some searching. I think something in the test kit needs to form some complex with Nitrogen or convert it to ammonia. This might provide some guidance: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2012098258A1/en

I think you're griping about a marketing video. They are describing the main types of engine cleaners in reasonable detail and clearly state PIB is less favorable one. Ethanol does oxidize to form acids which are problematic for fuel systems.

The downside to most bulbs that boast higher output is much shorter life.

5.5 Amps for 30 minutes sounds like the problem...would give most batteries an issue after 2 or less years.

...Except these are engines, we've been making engines for a long time, its not some sort of new technology, so they can absolutely design and spec the correct oil. In this case they messed up and are sort of band aiding it.
