    Honda Outer Tie Rod Recommendations

    The tie rods on my 2019 Odyssey are torn and all the grease has leaked out. Should I just replace with Honda OEM or upgrade to something like the Mevotech TTX? Honda OEM Rock Auto Options

    Honda Filters?

    Good to know. I try to change around 4-5K anyway.

    Honda Filters?

    I've been using the cheap EcoGard $2.52 filters on my last few oil changes on my Odyssey since I change my oil more often. I may try out that Premium Guard XL next because I sometimes worry since the EcoGard's are so cheap.

    Coolant recommendations for 2004 Lexus V6, please

    I am also using Peak for my 2005 Lexus ES330. Cheaper so I can change it more often without feeling bad. I made sure to do a good flush first. It is the older 10x but it seems like they recently changed that formula so you may want to look at some of their other options.

    Do engineers not make good money anymore?

    I'm a Software Engineer and things have changed quite a bit in the past few years. We previously used contractors from South America for development and testing but the company recently moved most of those positions to India. They are also laying off most of the US team and moving those roles...

    Are Chinese tires really that bad?

    I was looking into the Sailun tires for my 2005 Lexus ES330 but did not want to use Walmart, who had the best price. I ended up going with Radar Dimax AS-8 tires from Discount Tire which were right around $70 each. They are for sure not the best but seem good so far for the price. We only use...

    Post your latest oil or filter purchase

    I saw some decent comments here about the EcoGard filters so I grabbed six X4610 filters for our Odyssey since they were on sale for around $2.50 each. I also grabbed a single S241 for the Lexus since the X241 was actually more expensive. For oil, I bought some 0W-20 Pennzoil Ultra and 5w30...

    AMSOIL Signature Series MV 100 % synthetic. red cap vs blue (fuel efficient)

    This was the response from my email to Amsoil. "They may be similar, but they are not the same models, and they call for different fluid specifications. We recommended oils that satisfy the OEM specifications. If we do not have an oil that satisfies the OEM specifications, we will not make a...
