    How old is too old for brake fluid?

    If they're sealed I wouldn't think twice about using them myself. I've begun flushing brake systems more routinely, but we have lots of old cars in the family running 10-20 year old fluid that sure seem to stop fine... I think everyone flushing the fluid every 3 years is a bit overkill. I do...

    which new battery to get; price vs warranty

    I test all of mine when I get home as well and they generally test above their rating. Often at the level of the everstart maxx... I've bought 10+ of them at this point and only had the one dud. Have had a couple go 6+ years.

    which new battery to get; price vs warranty

    I buy cheapest battery with 1yr warranty. That always ends up being Walmart. I’ve only had 1 fail in under 3 yrs

    Lifespan of an *installed* oil filter by age (with low miles)

    Not an engine oil filter... But here's a spin on hydraulic filter that was in service for 10yrs with no issue. I personally don't think 3-5 years on a quality oil filter would cause any problems in your scenario. Anti-drainback valve may get hard and be less effective...

    New Tahoe or used QX-80?

    I've been keeping an eye out for Armada/QX-80's for a friend who is looking to replace an older Navigator. MPG's aren't a concern for him so I was looking at ones with the 5.6 v8. While those are thirsty, they are very reliable and cheaper than the newer v-6 turbo variants. Believe I saw a 2-3yo...

    Cheap A/T initial impressions Trail Guide All Terrain 235/75R15 XL

    I’ve only got a few thousand miles on mine, but I’m still pleased with them. Haven’t noticed any issues in the rain personally, but also haven’t driven in much. They’re quiet even at highway speed

    Maytag French door refrigerator stopped making ice.

    I’ve already had to replace the ice maker on my 2.5 year old Frigidaire. They’re normally quite simple. Look up your p/n and watch a few YouTube videos. Ice makers usually fit a variety of models and I had no issues getting an oem replacement from Amazon.

    84 month car loans

    Ah yeah well compared to a Wrangler the pilot would feel huge on the inside and have captains chairs.. haha. Plenty of nice body on frame options out there though.
