I just put some in my 2023 Accord Hybrid I always figure Oil that’s made for Volkswagen is likely exemplary in a Toyota Honda…

Remember test driving one when they cane out new. Loved the gauges-felt more upscale-while I am taller… arms are a bit shorter.. and felt steering wheel was too far away.. was really only main thing that dissuaded me from the purchase.

I remember reading on here before that when you have a 40 weight oil… the API additive limitations don’t apply.

This Toyota Mechanic did a deep dive mechanical review on 2024 crosstrek, impreza, and ascent. This is the link for the Crosstrek.

I had his friend Dan years ago. I was looking at Porsches and Bmw’s and said to me “do you know why I’m buying German?” and I asked why Dan? And he continued stating “because I cant afford Italian.”

Wife has 2015 Accord with 168000 miles on it. I have used Redline Nonslip CVT throughout-since 15000 miles or so… Have fluid changed once a year on average and continues to do well (knock on wood)… She is a fast left-lane driver as well… I do like that you get brand new fluid in there-nearly...

I went with Sport Accord Hybrid but think should have moved up to Ex-L to get better fuel economy, better protection, and less expensive tires with 17 inch tires as opposed to 19 inch. I did get the road and hazard and windshield chips warranty for 6 6 years unlimited mileage at Honda for no...

I just bought accord “sport” hybrid!!! Yay lol and today when was looking at it in parking lot thought to myself yeah it’s an acquired taste.

My general philosophy is if the power train on the base model is same as others get the base. Just bought “base” model sport accord hybrid since has same power train as higher Trims… now in fairness I do wish had 17 in tires and not 19 in which is ridiculous for an accord

I think in the evolution of high mileage oil’s the focus has gone from protecting the high mileage engine to protecting the high mileage emissions equipment.

I recently had head gasket replaced on 2012 Prius v and car died on road three weeks later. It was a rainy and foggy night and not sure if something from another vehicle somehow got underneath car to damage but needed a new vehicle-didn’t want to put more money in the Prius that has original...

One place have ordered Redline products and they offer free shipping with orders of 99 or above is elite racing fab… Usually deliver within 7 days or so-my last order though got messed up taking longer than expected… otherwise has been excellent. They usually have redline products on a discount...

Thank you for posting that… ai specifically asked place had work done to clean the egr system…. They said it looked good and didn’t recommend it…I texted the place on Thursday morning after reading up on various Prius Posts-and Critic’s posts and description of the problem-initially said would...

Hi-I have a 2012 Prius V-bought it about two years ago-drive a lot have like 231 on it now. Last week heard this godawful sound… went to this private shop and he wasn’t around… went to Monro-which they always have a space opened to check out the car… well guy did scan with a little handheld...
