2002 Honda Odyssey EX-L 209,900. Bought it new with 3 miles on it. Been outstanding for us. Never thought I dig a minivan.

@honeeagle: Thank you for your efforts! My 2003 Ford 4.2 V'6 runs like a Swiss watch. It has been well taken care of of course but what a gem. Truck only has 116,000 miles on the odometer. Love it.

Thank you for your replies. I should, and will, just buy the Suzuki "blue" from their parts counter.

BITOGER's, Normally, I would just drive over to Suzuki and pay $16.00 at their parts counter for a gallon of their "blue" antifreeze/coolant. My brother happened to have a gallon of BMW "blue" that he gave to me. Any idea if I could use it? Both "blue" in color. I want over flow to read from...

I was interested in the opinions of my fellow BITOG'ers regarding this brand of oil filters. I bought a Napa Gold unit for my vehicle (2.4 L 2011 Suzuki) and the filter was marked Mahle made in Austria. Your thoughts...experiences...warnings... Thanks in advance.

Man, that is slick! I would be in the market if mass produced. Great job whoever created and executed this feat of engineering.

Man, I am learning more each time I visit BITOG. Lol.

oilmaven, Thanks for the review. I have just returned from driving 2100 miles this weekend(Chicago-Portland) on a set of Conti Extreme Contact DWS's. They were ultra quiet on the dry, great in rain and very good in light snow. I was in a 2003 Mercedes-Benz E350. I am putting them on my Kizashi...

Oilmaven, It sounds as though we are having the same experience! I too am impressed by the quality feel of the materials as well as the details. Would you do me a favor? Could you post your thoughts/review/critique of the Continental Extreme Contact DWS's when you can? I just recommended those...

It gets a good review by me. I posted the review at the request of another forum member. Agreed. Dealer network stinks. Luckily, there is one close to my home if need be. Regards.

I posted a review of the Kizashi in the cars section. Regards.

Stickered for $27,400.00. Paid $23,600 plus tax. S models are going for approximately $19k in my area.Dealer 20 minutes away. I don't take my cars of any make or model to the dealer unless I can't help it. Prefer to keep logs and do routine/preventive maintenance myself. Time will tell in how...

You are right. The EPA classifies the Kizashi as a compact car with 105ft3. Regards.

The manual calls for 5w-30. Thanks for the "welcome" guys.I did call Suzuki America to ask about factory fill and their recommendations. They said, "we recommend whatever the engineers spec. They recommend that you use a certified 5w-30 motor oil." Okay, read the manual. The spec is a certified...

Please find following my thoughts, opinion, review of my purchase of a 2011 Suzuki Kizashi SLS Sport. I am very particular by nature. I, along with many others, am feeling the economic crunch. I was previously driving a 2007 Mazda CX-9 AWD crossover. A wonderful vehicle in its own right, but I...
