At first reading your headline, (and before my morning coffee), I thought we were asking about baby names! Your post was very intelligently stated and I believe you have taken very good care of your Civic. I really don't have an answer except using a filter with the lowest micron filtration and...

I hate plumbing work. Every time I have a little drip. Which reminds me, a professional plumber calls a little leak, condensation. (A little joke I tell customers when they ask if I'm a plumbing "expert." I also say, "I'm an expert if you want a leak.") Maybe just a little extra glue around the...

They may rate them to last a certain amount of time but will they last that long? I'd hold on to the receipt. In most cases what I have found, the larger the sensor, the longer lifespan. BTW, that's a good looking fixture w/good reviews! (I like to tell the customers I deal with, "the large...

Go and buy 2 jugs of Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w-30 and get a $30 rebate. Service the CVT w/Idemitsu NS-3.

I personally would not replace the old magnetic ballast w/an electronic one which most certainly not last as long as your old ballast. Buy Type "B" bypass LED T8 bulbs and hopefully your end caps will still make good electrical contact w/your bulb's pins.

Based on my experience owning a Plymouth Colt 2 dr. Hatchback. I'd buy another Mitsubishi for the right price if the test drive and other factors lined up. I like that the info screen is not too big and incorporated in the dash and not a huge tablet stuck on top of the dash and distracting your...

Recently replaced the Pirelli P4+'s on our Rogue Sport b/c of the years on the tires w/these Ascend LX's @ Discount Tire. The Yokohama's (P215/60/R17) are extremely quiet and have a relaxed ride quality. Inspires confidence and tracks very well. I'm impressed. Night and Day difference comparing...

Just installed a Volex transmission magnetic plug. Under $30 and boy o boy it's one strong magnet. I can tell it will work really well. I think it was money well spent.

540 CCA doesn't seem like a lot to start new. An EverStart Max Group 65 is 850 CCA and $139 for F150. I'd personally change out for peace of mind. Have a great trip to California. Such diverse climate depending where you go in the state. If you have the $$$$$, wonderful places to live quite...

The Rotel RB-1070 is a NICE amp. (I use a slightly modified RB-971 in my home system.) Please update what your speakers will be! (Go for some older JBL's and have some seriously good rock sounds.) Oh wait....are those tiny spks. what you using #18FAN?

Highest mileage car I've bought was a 2007 Toyota Rav4 w/v6 w/140k mi. Today has 241k mi. VERY solid with PLENTY of giddy up and go. Only half way broken in! If you don't need AWD, the Toyota Highlander would be my choice.

BMW, like a boat or hot tub purchase. You know what they say. Costly parts/labor rates. One after another especially when the car ages. Time to sell IMO.

There's a thread here : Pentius PLXL 7317 Initial Impressions vs Microgard Select

I'd go to 2k for the 2nd OC and 4k for the 3rd. (That's a 1400 miles and then 2,000 mile interval.) That has a nice ring IMO. On the upcoming OC, I'd personally would change out the filter and use a filter which filters better. What does Honda recommend for OC miles/time. (I'd would think around...

My daughter is a new 2024 2-dr Jeep Wranger owner. I test drove and have been the passenger mainly. First impression, it's a very solid vehicle which I see lasting for a very, very long time. Drove surprisingly well and was quite quiet on the highway. (Her Sport S has the all-weather tires/hard...
