Sorry to hear about your mother. I would not be nervous changing the transmission fluid in a spill and fill scenario. I was nervous about doing that to my 226,000 mile 09 Camry, but I finally did it last summer, and was glad I did as it did improve shifting. I'll do another one this year as well.

I change my Rogue at 5000 even though it says 3750 for server service. I run somewhere in between easy and severe. In general, I use 5000 miles.

I find alternating fillips at half a tank yields the exact same mileage as running E10. E10 to half a tank then top off with E85, take to half a tank and top off with E10. Here in Central IA you can find E85 priced almost a dollar less than E10, so even a full fill up pays to run. E15 is 20 to...

I’ve had the same experience with Nissan Rogues and Altimas. I was told they are terrible, yet I’ve had 4 trouble free units and there are 3 more trouble free units in the family. Now sure how we got the good ones….

My only issue with the Dodge is how badly, and quickly, Dodge vehicles rust. My 09 Camry with twice the miles has WAY less rust than my ‘14 Chrysler Town and Country. RAM trucks look great for 5 years, then lose the rockers and wheel arches. This is a central IA and no where near as bad for...

Thanks for posting on this. We have 3 littles left at home (10 to 4) of the 7 kids we have. Our current Chrysler van will be my last one between the problems with this one, and the problems I read and hear about with Pacificas. It’s my 4th Chrysler van with the 95 being junk, the 02 being...

Clay bar?

We were the first non family owners of a farmhouse in Collins, IA. The day we moved in, the last daughter to have grown up there told us not to worry about any spirits living in there, as they are nice. We shrugged it off being Jesus believing Christians. 2 days after moving in the basement...

I think Iowa State University has some rental schedules for things like this. I can’t look for it now, but it’s worth Googling it. We rented our machine shed in IL by the square foot, but I don’t recall what that was, plus it was 20 years ago….Good luck.

I have 3 adult sons, 2 yet that are children Son #1 went to university on his own dime (loans) because he made decisions that caused him to lose my willingness to foot half the bill. He graduated with debt and has a job he hates. He also doesn’t make enough to be able to afford owning a house...

My ‘19 Rogue surprised me once. After it sat for about a month due to me getting a new job with a company vehicle, I took it on a 3 hour drive. It used half a quart on that 6 hour combined trip. It’s never used a drop since. Our Rogue with 150,000 miles never used a drop either, nor does my 14...

2014 Chrysler Town and Country 119,322 miles 4774 miles on the oil change. Would have waited for 5000, but the wind is too terrible to work outside, so it became a garage day. Out: Valvoline Max-Life 5w-30 Mopar Filter In: Valvoline Max-Life 5w-30 Purolater Blue filter I also...

My 2014 Town and Country will probably be that vehicle…new vehicles are way too expensive!

I was able to knock down the price on my last purchase due to them pricing it wrong on 3 websites. Got up to walk and they honored the price. I had all three websites up on my phone to show them. They claimed clerical error. A farmer truck shopping has asked about a very similar issue on an Ag...
