    How old is too old for brake fluid?

    I'd think an open but capped fluid should be good for at least a year and possibly 2 as that's conditions similar to what fluid in car's expansion canister experiences anyway. Such a fluid is def better than a 5+ year old black one in the car's canister.

    The 2026 Nissan Sentra is a nice car

    Hmm, to me it looks very bland from the side, front is a cross breed between Civic and Corolla, wheels look like they came from a toy car for a 3 year old, to me the trunk lid looks associate with this: or this:

    New LG 75” tv much heavier than old 75”

    It may have something to do with the tech the TV is utilizing e.g. OLED, QLED or Mini LED. Also, I ran into a video basically saying OLED screens degrade the fastest out of the three while initially offer best image. 75 inches is quite a size.

    Auto OEM's refuse to sell cars in California unless they’re allowed to track you

    All automakers are to refuse car sales there? Or there are some who don't even build in spyware and thus don't care?

    ATF for Kia specifying SP-III ATF?

    Just do drain and fill, and if drained ATF doesn't look good, may be another drain and fill at next oil change. I do D/F every 30k miles and transmissions are working great and smooth.

    Why do people buy 1 quart bottles of oil?

    You can just keep one empty or full bottle for that, no need to buy more. I keep 1L bottle in trunk in case I need to add oil be it my or another person's car, I just add oil to 1L bottle at home from a jug.

    Supertech oil price increase - Canada

    That's what happens when one waits till last minute. Buy oil in advance when it's on sale and either Mobil 1 or Pennzoil has a promo and ideally when Canadian Tire has a good deal with Triangle card. As far as US vs Canadian prices, C$ is 0.7 US$.

    According to some researchers the way the wall is constructed indicates it was built by people on the North side of it to protect them from Southern neighbors; that means the wall wasn't built by Chinese.

    Major dam failure in China

    One thing is for sure they failed to track weather and to lower water levels before heavy flooding in upper level. This is extremely important in areas that get heavy rains and those surrounded by mountains where snow melts and water level can rise quickly. The dam had to have emergency water...
