Wow, end of an era for RL. Indeed a quick search of the Texas address is the Phillips 66 building and their distribution center for web orders now appears to be Hoerr Racing Products (HRP) in Illinois.
Been a user for nearly 30 years and always liked buying from the little guy. Might be time...
Have a friend with a '61 MGA 1600 who had similar issue with the engine breaking up a bit at the higher end of the RPMs, and given his driving habits it was quite frustrating. He had tried adjusting timing, valves, using fuel system cleaners, and as a habit had been using 93 octane fuel (99 RON...
PUP 5W-30 has been in the Civic since we purchased new in late 2008 when it was known as Pennzoil Ultra, have not seen it on shelves in years.
I get it online at Wally or Amazon a few jugs at a time to keep in the stash and align it with sales or SOPUS rebates .

Saw a 1960s Toro snowblower f/s on CL near me which the seller refitted with one of these Chinese compression engines, here is the video included in the ad:
Like you I was interested in applications for it but determined it is not for me, I don't own any diesel equipment and it didn't make...

I have ordered around $1500 in parts between both sites including oil filters and crush washers you are looking for, positive experiences with both on all transactions.
Hondapartsnow.com is where I get just about everything needed for my Accord and Civic, I replaced the alternator on my Civic 2 years ago with a new Denso from them and it has been perfect.
They do list the alternator for a 2006 Odyssey as in stock and it states condition as new rather than...
Just helped a friend on what I believe is the same process for his 2005 Odyssey's timing and water pump replacement a few weeks ago. He also purchased the AISIN kit and the Lisle crank pulley socket. Some points I recall which might help you:
We used South Main Auto's Honda timing belt / water...
Just used Meguiar's Hybrid Paint Coating (G210300) as I am in the same situation as you are where time to spend waxing is not as frequent as it once was.
I felt the price on this was a bit high but Meguiar's has been a name I trust for many years and I was not disappointed. It is wipe on, wipe...
TSB from Chrysler calls out the need for fluid in WJ models which complies with MS5931 standard. This model should have a hydraulic cooling fan which runs off the power steering pump.

I believe Mopar MS5931 fluid has been...

This is the 3rd and what will likely be the final run UOA testing Red Line on my 2004 S60 in which I switched up somewhat running 0W30 for the winter months as opposed to their 5W30 grade as in the previous 2 runs. As I have mentioned in my last post, this car is long paid off and I prefer to...

I believe so, my previous UOA listed the same value (9 PPM), and the UOA prior to that of M1 0W30 AFE registered lower (3 PPM).

Before going any further I would like to point out why I am running Red Line as some comments in the previous UOA posted centered around Red Line's return on investment:
