    2.5L Rav4 oil change impressions

    I too, use the ramps I bought at O'Reilly's, not the cheap ones. They work great for my wife's 2013 RAV4 2.5 and I've been using Mobil 1 0-w20 for years and change the filter every oil change. Even for an old guy like me it is a very easy oil change. My wife drives up the ramps as I watch and...

    Roman from TFLEV has a meltdown trying to road trip their new VW I.D. Buzz

    I have always felt that as good of idea that electric vehicles can be, this country's not yet setup for the proper infrastructure to have a good electric experience.

    Ceramic Coating Windshield Fail

    The secret to a beautiful finish on your exterior glass using rainX is sprinkling water on the windshield after applying and wipe with a clean paper towel or Scott shop towel. Comes out beautifully!! (It actually requires that in the instructions).

    Older Tires...Perfect Shape...What to do?

    Cracks between the treads are the correct concern. If there re cracks between the treads, you should replace them as those cracks can cause a serious problem coming apart and blowing out or worse. Tread separation is the most concerning and dangerous blowout you can have. I replaced the tires...

    Oil for Rav 4

    I've been changing the oil and filter in my wife's 2013 Rav4 XLT for many years using Mobil 1 0W-20 and a new STP filter. She's never had any issues with either. I change it every 6000 +/- miles and it makes her very happy. I also change the oil and filter in my 2014 Chevy Silverado with M1...

    Anyone have experience with decibel meters?

    I bought a Realistic, (Radio Shack), cat. no. 42-3019 many years ago when I work as a sound engineer for a local band, and I still have it and it works great. I recently used it to prove to an anti-pickleballer that the sound level was lower than expected and quieter than the local traffic...

    Engine Swap Advice

    One major question, what do you consider terrible mileage? I did a full restoration on my 1970 Chevy C-10 between 2006 to 2009. I purchased a 350/330hp GM Performance HO Turn-Key in 2007 and installed it in the "70. The engine comes complete with everything including a serpentine system. I...

    Is this too much oil?

    I agree with samve but if they did overfill, just drop some out, if you have the availability. Shel-B has a point, but the top pic is not really an issue, however, hard to tell on the bottom pic, could be a bit high? All depends on the engine and year!!
