If you're this stubborn over replacing plugs once every 100-125k miles, I want to see the soles of your shoes. Or do you mostly go barefoot out of spite for the shoe industry? Personally, as a self-proclaimed minimalist, from May 1st to October 1st I'm either barefoot or flip flops. But I do buy...

We forgot to ask if he changed the factory fill at 329 miles or before. If he went longer than that, just end the discussion. That engine is toast...no way it's going to hit a million miles...

Nope. Too thin. Never going to get to more than 300k miles with that thin 5w30 water....

Don't ruin my hypothetical fun with your "facts" 🤣

I've got Wyze in my interior and interior windows facing out. Bought SD cards for them and under $30 they're great. I haven't looked at things other than their cheapest interior cameras, but I think they have some with better options (track motion and such).

I'll do it on the 4th and send a video of the engine "fireworks"...

An apple.

If it's in the humor section I don't think it can be defined as trolling, can it? I feel like you can't say "haha I'm going to make a joke" and everyone is aware and then be accused of trolling 🤣

I miss the QS syn sales. And the QS filters on sale...like $1.49 or $1.99 or something for my Honda. I miss Menards. Had one close and I used to buy boxes of snacks and milk from them. Cheapest price on a gallon of milk anywhere around 🤣

I'll be doing some driving this summer in a Toyota 1.8L. I currently run 0w20 synthetic and worry that some mountain climbs and long, flat freeway stretches might cause issues with such a thin oil. Is 75mph at 2200-2500 RPM's on 0w-20 going to make my engine blow up? Or is 55mph up a mountain...

It's too thick. Anything over 0w-8 will wreck your engine due to lack of flow.

Update: had the work done. Popped the hood and brake fluid looked clean. Coolant in the reservoir was MAYBE up to the L. Looked slightly below. I asked if they could at least fill to between the two marks at cold since it was about 90° when they filled it and anything below that will probably...

Amazing friendly service. But prices have always seemed high to me. When there's a sale it's better. In terms of unnecessary work being sold, probably depends on the location and specific tire tech. Quite honestly, I wouldn't trust many (any?) places that do mostly tires to touch anything else...

They typically haven't been bad about this. They mentioned last time it'd been 2 years since brake fluid replacement which I believe is in the Subaru maintenance guide. I said I have always done 3-4 years and never had an issue over the years of vehicle ownership. That's about as bad as it...

You and a couple others on here seem to understand why I don't want to do the plugs on a Boxer engine 🤣 Once in my life was enough. Could I? Yeah. Do I need that frustration in my life? No.
