    Ran an AGM battery dead, is it ruined?

    I drive a 2006 Camry 2.4L. I have a year-old 24F Everstart Platinum AGM battery. I left the hazards on and killed the battery. Jumped it fine with a Noco, battery seems to be okay now. Took a couple of start-stop cycles to charge to typical voltage levels I was accustomed to. Did I severely...

    Honda CVT level - how is it so simple?

    apologies haha. I have to level my 05 toyota auto by shift feel, feed in some fluid with a syringe, a few ml at a time. I am traumatized.

    How did you determine that it reached operating temperature?

    Honda CVT level - how is it so simple?

    Do you monitor the fluid temperature at all? Or just follow the procedure of going through the gears, waiting for the fans to turn on twice and then pulling the check bolt?

    Honda CVT level - how is it so simple?

    So you've never had a problem with overheating, strange transmission behavior after fluid D&F with your Honda I'm assuming? No jerking when putting it in D or R?

    Honda CVT level - how is it so simple?

    Honda CVT level - how is it so simple?

    I drive an older Toyota automatic. The transmissions are extremely sensitive to fluid viscosity and level. If you are off by a few fluid ounces you can definitely feel it in the shifts. The process for fluid leveling is extremely precise. You have to check the temperature of the ATF, level it on...

    Pennzoil Ultra Platinum vs Valvoline Extended Protection?

    I think issue is valve stem seals causing the burning, possibly not stuck rings. Maybe it's slightly worn out, I dunno. Haven't done a compression test ever.

    Pennzoil Ultra Platinum vs Valvoline Extended Protection?

    Are you saying that Valvoline EP High Mileage is the only oil in their lineup that is GTL like Pennzoil? I saw some videos on it and it has insane Moly content. Do you think I'll start leaking seals because of the HM additives?

    Pennzoil Ultra Platinum vs Valvoline Extended Protection?

    I have a 2006 Toyota Camry with the 2azfe that I bought used with 143k miles, currently sitting on 167k - HEAVY city driving - think of the worst stop and go in the world. I used to run Supertech. I moved over to Pennzoil Ultra Plat/Platinum. I noticed that my engine quieted down, especially at...
