Purchased a 2019 Kia Niro EV last month. Wanted to buy a new one, but my income isn't high enough to take full advantage of $7,500 federal tax credit. On top of that, it's a sellers' market right now for EVs, they're charging minimum $4,000 above MSRP for Niro EV, $10,000 premium for Ioniq 5 EV...

Looking to buy an Electric Vehicle like Kia Niro EV, Hyundai Kona EV or New Hyundai Ioniq5. Not many vehicles available to start with at any dealer. Kona is not available in WA but Niro is. Those who have stock, all they have are EX Premium models for $4,000 more than EX model. Most of "in...

When I bought a used 2015 MDX at 86,000 miles a few years ago, the ATF looked pretty dark and burned. But after d&f 4 times with Honda DW-1 plus ATF filter change , ATF looked totally cleaned up. No idea if the Honda DW-1 made the difference, but I wouldn't use anything else on this MDX. Picture...

Most local Costco stores don't have any KS oils in stock, supply chain issue. I have about 10 5qt jugs of 5W-30 on stash . . . bought $21.99 for case of 2.

Thanks, she wanted to try M1 HM 10W-40, it's her car, she's the boss.

I get images of ALL of the mail I get, except sale flyers with no address. I also receives package info, like I'm getting one of my medication from Kaiser today or tomorrow. Those are really crude, low res images. Imagine the machine takes 30,000 images in an hour, it's 500 images in a minute...

I've seen Costco carries both Meguiar's and TW at different times. I saw this TW soap at Costco some time ago, will wait to hear others' experience. Still too much left.

It'd help others if you state what year model your MDX is and how many miles on. I have a 2015 MDX with 111,000 miles, so far trouble free, knock on wood.

It must be the short drives I do most of the time, don't get charged 100%. Thanks all, I'll be sleeping better tonight. 😌

Battery getting weak in less than 3 years, 15,500 miles? probably doing short trips most of time, oh well . . .

Thanks for the positive comments. This recording was done today when the temp was around 50. Other days when it's much colder at around 30, I believe the noise is not just louder, but some strange noise mixed, I think. I'll try again when the ambient temp is much lower. I'm breathing much easier...

Seriously, I've had this hearing difficulty for over 30 years, developed Tinnitus for last 4 or 5 years. This recording is for my 2019 Mazda CX-5 Turbo with 15,500 miles, I feel it's quite loud (abnormal) but can't confirm myself. How do you folks with great hearing think? Thanks for your...

Depends on how much it leaks. My old ML320 had main seal leak, needed to add 1/2 qt every 2,500-3,000 miles, did that for 4 years, no big deal to save $1,200. The ML320 had 235,000 miles when I sold it after 20 years of ownership. I had the exact same 2006 TL, sold it in the summer of 2020 when...

Today. 2015 MDX Spring like day here in PNW.

Gas price alone may not affect you much but gas price will affect everything else.
