Zep Citrus degreaser concentrate. Best stuff I have found to use in the ultrasonic cleaner. It's about $15 a gallon at Lowes.

Last time I used that is when AAP was clearing it out for 5$ for a 5 qt jug. I grabbed as many as i could buy.

Haha I tried that a few years ago with some great stuff. Absolute fail. Ended up buying a set of these flat free type front tires...

Anderson made lowers and AR's for MANY other BIG name companies. Cracks me up how some folks like to trash their name when they don't know even know what their taking about...

Anderson made great mil-spec lowers. I'm glad I bought several when they were $40.

Picked up a 25' MY. The 2.5L is adequate and the CVT seems decent so far. I like that they use a decent size fuel tank in these. That was our biggest complaint for the CX-30 we had.

https://zep.com/products/zep-heavy-duty-citrus-degreaser-and-cleaner-1-gallon-removes-oil-grease-adhesive-and-kitchen-soil-zucit128ca This is the best stuff I have found for the ultrasonic cleaner. Very effective and a little goes a long way. I hardly use simple green anymore. Eco friendly and...

I won't go back to a regular foam canon.

I use a torque wrench and use the specs from FSM's whenever possible. So, yes, even on the engine oil drain bolt. I break things all time, so I like to think of this of a way to save myself from me...

Well the new HPFP did not solve the problem. Regardless, at almost 200k, it was probably a good time to install a new one anyway. I picked up a Crank Position Sensor and put that in yesterday. Fingers crossed, but it's looking promising so far.

Gear oil for all my bike chains. Never had any problems.

On a side note rant... These arn't 70's muscle cars. I'm not a fan of them putting the white lettering of the tires on the outside sidewalls. Reminds me of old school BFG Radial TA's on a 70' Chevelle.

So we ended up trading the Crown for a 25' CT. The Crown was a great car but we live on a dirt road and it wasn't a good fit for our living conditions and the 21" wheels were getting beat. Now Rob had to make me mad after seeing that awesome color on the Forester... Now I wish I would have done...

I've got lots of limit orders in place...

I wouldn't trust a mechanic that says an inch over the fill lines is ok... I have two 09's with the same transmission. You want it warmed up and make sure it has been throuth the entire gear range on the shifter. Check it in Park, it should not be over the top line for the "hot" section.
