    Toyota Sienna Hybrid A25A Engine - Oil and Coolant Temps

    I think what @edyvw is saying is that hotter fluid temps generally lead to better efficiency, across all models. Our Carnival has an oil cooler (really just a coolant/oil heat exchanger), and the oil will easily sit at 230F+ on highway drives. Coolant settles around 210. Highest I’ve seen the...

    Adam's Tire and Wheel Cleaner - works!

    I’ve had similar results with the Turtle Wax wheel and tire cleaner.

    New Samsung TV requires a Samsung account to use

    I’m saying on the home screen of the OS itself. Fire tv and Roku, as an example, hit you with ads just moving around the Home Screen. Apple TV does not.

    New Samsung TV requires a Samsung account to use

    Just get an Apple TV, Google TV, or a Roku. Whatever you please. You still have to log in, but you get to pick your poison. And it’ll be way faster than any built in OS on your TV. Apple TV (not the streaming service, but the device) has no ads and is ridiculously powerful. Even if you aren’t...

    Need to learn how to do Oil changes I guess

    I’ve never heard of Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy 5w-30… only 0w-20 and 0w-30. Did you mean ESP 5w-30? Also sorry for your plight!

    Castrol EDGE Euro on sale at Walmart

    I’m genuinely curious how these sales come to be. The jugs I got in March from this deal were all made this February. I did decide to get 1 more jug yesterday 😬 (to make up for the one jug of 5w-40 that they subbed from my last order), and it is also brand new stock, from last month. It...

    Our gas mileage is largely unaffected while carrying bike rack

    They do stick out a fair bit, but the rack sits low, since the hitch receiver is quite low. One of the bikes only has a foot or less clearance from the tire to the pavement 😮

    Our gas mileage is largely unaffected while carrying bike rack

    Drove the Carnival 120+ miles round trip yesterday to a nearby town in Canada, and we also had our hitch-mounted bike carrier attached, with two adult bikes and one larger kids bike. The drive is basically 50/50 between interstate and 2 lane rural roads. This is our first time using the carrier...

    Castrol EDGE Euro on sale at Walmart

    I don’t think so either. But there was much spirited debate in another thread on whether this oil was the same as another one from Europe that does have ester. At least a VOA would confirm this via the oxidation level.

    Castrol EDGE Euro on sale at Walmart

    Do it! Then we will know whether it has ester or not.

    Castrol EDGE Euro on sale at Walmart

    It shows only 4 available to ship to me. None available to pick up. Really tempted…. but I already got 6 recently haha. And I have like 3 other OCIs worth of oil for both cars too. I’ll let someone else eat this time.

    The next 5 NASCAR races are streaming and available only on Amazon Prime

    I think younger people much prefer streaming services than OTA. My 9 year old son lamented today that Indycar is no longer on Peacock, since it makes watching races and replays on his iPad more complicated. I can record them on my Tablo for free now and watch them anytime, but still. I think...

    2026 Indy 500 - WOW

    I felt that way initially too. But it looks like they were inspecting the barriers. Did they do a repair? Either way, I would have preferred a yellow. Clearly they didn’t need long. I think the guy who won is the guy who should have won anyhow. I wasn’t surprised at the red flag though. It...

    Really weird login issue on my home UniFi network

    I have a UniFi USG, and there is a workaround to do this but it’s not straightforward. On the UDM and other more advanced gateways there is an option to do this natively.
