I want to see YT start adding a watermark to videos that have independent verification of content accuracy. BITOG could make money by having esteemed moderators screen the oil & oil filter videos to confirm the content, and then the video could show a BITOG logo for audience comfort. Sort of...
I am always amazed at how slow the day proceeds at almost any of my relatives, they get up late, they ponder a shower, they ponder where they want to shop, they debate the merits of one store or another, then they decide what they want for breakfast.
I'm standing in the driveway 20 minutes...
Today I was bored and decided that I needed to do something productive, so I decided I would do a light maintenance service on the QCX60 rear disk brakes.
I get into it and find the drivers rear inner pad broken in 2 pieces, with the complete pad delaminated from the backing plate. These were...
Doesn't surprise me at all, if there's a need for a quality product in a consumable industrial application, then all the regular European players will be involved, presuming there is sufficient business for multi players.
Any yet you don't report on TP ???
Today I saw at a local Costco in Cambridge Ontario that BF Goodrich has now got the concession for wiper blades. Michelin is gone!
Mitsu has always struggled in USA & Canada, they do far better in Asia, SE Asia and South America, Africa. They are not alone as there are many other French brands that can't hit at bat in the North Americas.

Those rear brakes get...

I really loved how my 2013 Maxima was set up with the CVT, it made the car so responsive and too much fun when the pedal was flexed.
My QX60 CVT is just boring, does the job and never really seems to seek attention, I guess that's desired for a heavy SUV that is for average driving without...
The things you regularly touch will fail far before most drivetrains even with good maintenance. Seats, steering switches, mirrors, glass, doors, gas caps, HVAC stuff. And now it's all the electronic accessories with sealed IC modules.
Driving to and from cottage in 2019 QX60 AWD last weekend, 780km it was 8.9L/100km. I've done better, but the traffic flow warranted a bit faster average speed. Best ever was 8.7L/100km.
