    Best brand of oil filters

    Congrats on your new Pathfinder! Excellent vehicle, when I come back to the US, I might pick one up to complement my Armada. Did you get the 2WD or AWD version? Not sure how things are now, but back in the 90s the Nissan OEM oil filters had a stellar reputation. Many users on the...

    Help settle an argument. Are US Navy personnel ever considered "soldiers"?

    In many langauges any military man can be called a "soldier". However in English usage, this is not typical.

    Would you buy a “New Car” that is 15 months old?

    I might hesitate a bit, but if the deal is right still pull the trigger. My main concern would have been aging seals that werent wetted enough during sitting. But this may never be an issue for the life of the car, hard to say. And then there are warranties. New tires may not be needed , could...

    Computer questions

    Linux is still around and enjoys a sterling repuation. Since Windows 11 is such bloatare and spyware if you get a windows computer, it cannot be too low end as the resource draw of Win 11 might be too much for it.

    Just got my SUV back from a $2.5 k FluidFilm/PermaFilm application

    A couple hundred dollars would have been only 2-4 hours work or so plus materials. What is described in my post, cannot be done in 2-4 hours. :)

    A shot of my speedo on the Autobahn today

    It depends on by how much . 300 Euros are not unusual. Leaving the Autobahn in an unauthorized manner (say there is a traffic jam and you use your 4WD to drive over the shoulder onto a farm road right next to the autobahn), is approx 2500 Euros.

    I would think that RWD vehicles are more likely to be fitted with performance tires and thier higher speed ratings. I could speculate that perhaps 4WD and AWD buyers care more about all season behaviour?
