What's wrong with 'measuring' how much you took out and replace same amount with 'new' fluid ? Keep the bottles of 'new' fluid next to vehicle (over night) so their the same temperature.

For me, about $2.00 Whether it's summer or winter, my car is always dusty or covered with salt. I keep a roll of quarters and just stop at the DIY car wash. Or if I'm feeling really 'cheap', a quick wash in the driveway.

Living in the north/east, I heat my house in the summer and air-condition it in the winter. Most people do it wrong and spend a lot of money.

That's what I was thinking. Hopefully, their decent people.

I recently had hornets (or similar) under the front step to house. Over two weeks I sprayed them using 'hornet killer' (during the day) but they kept coming back. Finaly, I sprayed them at sunset .... they're NOT back yet. I suggest, use the right product, and read the instructions. Always have...

Good question because I want any 'moisture' to burn out of the oil during Winter months. Best thing for me is to combine many short trips into a longer one, and take the highway.

The problem with the 'pencil' type gages is that you get a different reading with how quickly you put them on. The slower applied, the lower your reading. As others have said, "get a digital gage". Get mid-priced and treat it as a precision instrument. As a backup, compare to your cars TPMS.

Always good to try new things. Hey, .... theirs's a whole world out there.

That's how I check the air in my tires. I use a 'manual' digital gage and occasionally use the TPMS.

Recently, I saw someone checking their transmission fluid with a dipstick. It had to of been four feet long. Your average driver today would be sooo confused.

If you cannot do the oil changes yourself and have to take it some place, verify the work was done 'before' leaving the property. 1) check the oil level 2) verify the filter was change.

Typical of the junk that's out there today. This company makes 'great' drill bits / Made in U.S.A. https://norsemandrill.com/

(although you DON'T say you're going to stack them). I would keep the number of shims to a 'maximun' of (3) .... to avoid a cushioning effect.

What about all these 'preppers' who stock up on everything. Maybe someone should tell them.

I had (name brand) laundry detergent go bad. The bottle was about 18 months old and started to collapse. The color changed and it had an odd smell. Customer Service told me the enzymes went bad.
