that is just crazy nuts! I've heard of pictograms because of language barriers, but this is ridiculous!

I put Oregon's Gator blades on lawnmowers before, yes they are definitely thicker and heavier! They do use a little more fuel because well... they're heavier to spin. But.. They power through thick grass and hardly bog down! I think of that extra weight as muscle to power through! I...

And I tip my hat to you trying to help the younger generation, I just wish the person had a clue that not heeding your knowledge is going to be a hard lesson to learn. Yes I couldn't agree more, humility is extremely important in life. (y)

Why bother to care any further? You offered help, he must like being a victim and uninformed in his life. good luck in life with that type of outlook!

with all these screw ups, how do these people at the dealer even put their clothes on in the morning? wow.. and surprise, surprise, no survey for you to fill out about their "service".. I bet if you called GM's customer service or PR dept at HQ they'd love to send you a survey!

I think with the Pilot you can get a wiring harness adapter that cancels the cylinder deactivation. On the Mazda no such thing exists.

I think you're 100% onto their scam. I've had cars that sat around and had engine and cabin air filters not get dirty just sitting there. Everyday you hear something even lower than low trying to get a quick sale. sick.. but thanks for the update.

Warranty? That's IF you can even find a Mitsubishi dealership in your state! lol..

mmm crunchy! lol.. but seriously, what a mess, glad you @Urshurak776 helped out and took an HONEST look at her car! good job! (y) I have witnessed really dumb people lately that claim they're "professional" and if they lose one more brain cell they would be a talking monkey. It's like an...

oh wow a Chrysler/Dodge vehicle WITH electrical problems?! color me surprised! /sarcasm.. Anyone here remember the Dodge Neon electrical fires in the ignition column of the 90s? That company hasn't been able to do anything correct with electrical for years.. but hey let's make a seat that's...

I'm post #12.. I wasn't saying I know Toyota filters have a problem with flow. I was referring to the consensus on this forum about the old test saying it didn't filter a lot, then people started saying things about the Toyota filters prioritizing flow over filtration. So no I don't want to...

Yep, it's a hydraulic tensioner, it's amazing how tight it is to release the tension! Which is probably a good sign, should last a long, long time. on the Scion tC, to remove the tensioner, you have to remove the one engine mount and jack the engine up so that one long bolt will come out...

I don't mean to keep commenting every time you post but... I gotta! It's like you've worked on my engine, lol! :D Yup, that tensioner is like concrete! Have to lean into the breaker bar holding the socket on that release pivot of the tensioner! That tension is insane! And I need a 2nd person...

There was always the debate on this forum indicating for the Toyota filter, that flow was more important than filtering, as you found. But if that was so important for Toyota, why did they (based on a decades old test, not able to apply it to today's filter media) prioritize flow over...

Also, the quality of the Toyota brand filters is excellent. Cheap price and good quality, not much to complain about with that track record. (y)
