We bugged out of Cali and moved to Az back in 2014. We use Turbotax and I don't recall anything difficult about filing for either state.

I hadn't planned on sending the pictures to them as they obviously don't care. I don't believe they even did what the woman told me they did. I think they were simply blowing smoke.

I thought I'd update the thread on Toyota's response regarding these defective filters. The woman I was dealing with is the senior administrative officer in Toyota's executive office. She said they contacted Denso to inquire where in their process these filters could be getting damaged and Denso...

Well here's another one that failed. This is one I installed 2K miles ago and decided to pull it today as I do not trust these filters any longer. You can see there are 2 cracks in the resin and the media is pulling away from the center tube. This filter, along with a another one I purchased...

Older thread, but here's what I found with the latest batch of 90915-YZZN1 filters I purchased from East Madison Toyota. Thankfully I haven't used any from the case yet so I'll be getting an aftermarket filter before the next oil change.

Just another deployment. So glad I retired from all that. https://spectrumnews1.com/oh/columbus/news/2022/09/22/1-800-ohio-army-combat-soldiers-preparing-to-deploy-overseas-

IME, it's extremely difficult to tell the difference in MPGs from tire to tire in a non-hybrid vehicle. Having driven more than 300k in two different Prius's I can tell you with certainty that there is a significant difference from tire to tire with hybrids. I've experienced a 10MPG difference...

These are on my 2016 Prius. They replaced Michelin Energy Savers so the 8.8% hit isn't surprising.

Thought I'd post a 12,000 mile update. The RT43's have developed just a little road noise between 50-70 MPH but are still very smooth. Wet handling, rain and snow has been very good. Gas mileage is 5.1 MPG less than the Michelins they replaced so cost per mile should be pretty close between the...

You want old? You gotta go back to the beginning.

I won't comment on whether a DIY'er should do this job since we all know our limitations, but I will say it's a wise idea to have a spare set of springs available for when they break, and they will all break eventually.

Parked when hot with the wheel on that side much higher than the other. Cooled, moisture condensed and the Jeep was parked too long afterward so corrosion set in.

My motivation to change the oil was the environment I operate the mower in. I've got an acre and it's pretty much wild grass, weeds and lots of loose dirt so after an afternoon of mowing it's completely covered in dirt. Also, temps in the summer are well above 90 so I figured the original fill...

I just did the first K46 oil change last week in my Cub. I was going to do it at 100 hours as my 1 acre yard is a real dirt/dust bowl but it ended up with 170 hours by the time I got motivated. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was super clean inside with very little wear metal in the...
