    Everything is potentially fake / counterfeit these days

    You bet, just last night after work I went to a fake store that looked very much like a Best Buy and got myself a watch that looked like a real Garmin Fenix 7X, they even have phone app for this real looking thing! :ROFLMAO: but talk about how expensive everything got!!!! I still remember Bell...

    Asking for help from someone in the USA

    How difficult is it to fabricate one of those? I used foil when was changing oil filters on my daughter's Acura to route oil away from subframe etc.

    Throttle body cleaning?

    STFT is in negative, this means too much fuel, check fuel pressure and for leaking injector/s. But cleaning TB won't hurt either.

    Ethanol Adulteration

    Is it by any chance Brasil of all places? Don't they have cars running on pure ethanol for ages now? Diff countries have diff standards and fuel choices. I just came back from Thailand last night, their gas stations offer even LNG, Toyota taxi I used on way to airport ran on LNG. You should...

    Stinky Used Oil - 2011 Hyundai Oil Change

    That engine will like 0w-30, 5w-30 or 10w-30 oil. My line of thought was to help with engine clean up thus was suggesting VRP. Just looking under oil filler cap should give general idea on how dirty the engine is on inside. Copy receipts for oil and filter purchases and give the copy (on one...

    Stinky Used Oil - 2011 Hyundai Oil Change

    40 weight oil is a bit too thick for that engine, and it's not your car to experiment on either. How much cheaper is QS oil vs VRP? I may be missing something, you are paying for oil and doing the oil change already, and $3 is deal breaker? I thought you were trying to help the lady out of your...

    Stinky Used Oil - 2011 Hyundai Oil Change

    Imho, if oil changes were irregular with long OCIs then may be VRP is a good choice for at least one OCI. M1 ESP 0w-30 will work great in the engine, basically any VW 504 oil.

    Viscosity: Engine protection Vs. enhanced mileage

    Imho, if you do wanna suck with 0w-20 oil, may as well use Mobil 1 ESP oil, they make it in that viscosity and it's an excellent oil.

    2019 Accord battery ... maintenance advice needed!

    It's not an old car and since it's in great clean shape and paid off, the only sense it makes is to keep it and do maintenance. Replace the battery, it's a maintenance item, keep the car. Personally, I just run Costco Kirkland regular batteries, in Canada they come with 4 years full free...

    Trying to disguise product made in China

    The stamp may have been placed by their gov owned factory thus using official country name. Same with Taiwan, when you see ROC it's the same country, officially they are Republic of China. Don't you think China building factories in Mexico is better than building bases? Void more than often has...

    Funeral escort services looking like police officers/uniforms

    At some point they crossed the line into 'impersonating law enforcement' territory, just saying.
