I'm pretty sure "The Critic" means generous, helpful and very good natured. In Silicon Valley we have a term, "KSA", or Knowledge, Skills and Abilities. Maybe that's it?

At this point in my life, this little bit of $$ will not make any difference to me but it just might change her's. When I service their cars, or whatever, first they only have to watch, then they have to help. Kids have energy for days, after all. And I prefer, "dumb ol' uncle jeffy". Less...

Congrats! Hope you know the business end of a hammer.... ;)

You have no idea. A short time ago I mentioned I was putting together a starter tool kit to a young guy I know who is on his own. A couple days later a heavy box was delivered to my doorstep; @The Critic loaded it up with new Icon wrenches, extensions and so much more. Don't let him know I...

This is a shout out and thank you to our friend @The Critic. On numerous occasions he has offered free help and advice; but be careful because his standards are a little off the charts... The other day I asked him about a Prius; my grand niece needed a vehicle for school and work. He told me to...

Santa Barbara is a nice place to live. Perfect weather ain't cheap ya know... Sounds like you've experienced significant appreciation; good for you! Maybe not the buyers, at least in the short term. When we bought in our hood, it took all I had to get in. But it has worked out well; I will leave...

Respectfully, that's a general response, but not an answer. My career was in manufacturing systems, having coded solutions in Root Cause Analysis. RCA is a structured problem solving method used to identify the reasons for a failure rather than just treating surface level symptoms. If in fact...

2015 Mazda3 iGrand Touring, 132K, 8K OCI Out Mobil 1 0w20 In QS 0w20 4.3.qt, left PG filter for next time MityVac for the win! Now we are off to Hercules for my grand niece's new ride, thanks to the generosity of @The Critic SCORE!

My name is AutoMechanic

I've been running the Castrol stuff for years. Good old flat tappets with elevated valve spring camshafts!

Service that bad boy every 30K. Maybe so 1 at the next oil change services as well...

Have I done that? Yes. Of course brake fluid does not circulate through the system, so take it for what it's worth. If you are down there with the wheels off already, perhaps a quickie flush is in order?
