I am wondering if anyone has tried using Gunnar glasses at night while driving. I have started to develop cataracts, and the LED lights from oncoming traffic really bother me. The optometrist at Costco recommended some amber driving glasses, and they’ve made a huge difference for me. Now I...

The shop used Subaru CVT fluid. They used to use Motul in the past but stopped using it as according to them there is no replacement for Subaru CVT fluid.

The choice for SuperTech oil wasn’t about the price at all. I usually stock up. I had Mobil 1 and Penn Platinum stocked up and haven’t had time to keep an eye on the deals. So now I have run out of oil. I just saw 0W-16 on the Walmart website, so I thought I would give it a shot. I am really...

Thank you for a helpful reply. I plan to change the fluid again in 2/3 years. That time, I will ask them to give me virgin oil sample to run with the drained oil sample.

86024 and approx 11 years 1 month. The report is not like Blackstone's. Its under the sample information -> Lube Time.

Hello folks, I just had the CVT drained and filled on my 2015 Subaru Forester. I sent a sample for oil analysis. This is the first time I’ve done this since the dealerships weren’t willing to help, so I took it to a Subaru specialist shop. I’ve attached the oil report. I’d love to hear your...

Hello folks, I just saw that Walmart has 0w-16 oil. Are there any concerns I should know about using it in my 2023 Camry Hybrid for the winter? I've been using Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel Economy because I had a good stock of it. I drive about 12K miles a year and change the oil twice a year. It’s...

Thank you, everyone. Appreciate the input. I have considered buying these jump packs so many times. I wonder if they are not used at all, will they really be useful when you actually need it?

Today morning, in a rush to drop my kid off to school, neighbor walks up and asks if I could help him jump the car (Mazda 6 turbo). His dashcam has a parasitic draw and most likely that drained his battery overnight. I could not use Camry Hybrid (AGM battery) as it specifically states in the...

@IndyIan, I got 85K on the odometer but I am out of 10K warranty period. STILL, the dealerships around me are refusing to change the CVT fluid. That is the only reason I reached to an indie mechanic. I have been trying to reach to the dealerships since I hit 50K on the odometer. I kept getting...

Hello all, I am planning to drain and fill the CVT fluid of my 2015 Forester. I reached out to an indie Subaru specialist. They use Motul CVT fluid. I was wondering if its OK to mix Subaru original CVT fluid and Motul CVT fluid. Lately, I have been reading a good number of CVT failure reports...

Hello folks, Planning to change the transmission fluid for 2015 Forester (85K on the odometer) for the first time. I would like to get a sample tested. Which kit should I use? NAPA has hydraulic fluid kit but its not available. I checked SpeedDiagnostix, and Amsoil kits but both of them only...

Anyone tried a tool to clean interior windshield, something like https://www.amazon.com/Windshield-Microfiber-Pivoting-Cleaning-Stalwart/dp/B003K5S4NW New Camry's windshield is very difficult to clean with the slope. So looking for such a tool. Conceptually, it looks good but most comments...

I bought AMD for $4.88 a pop and everyone made fun of me. Sat on it for 8 years before it decided to show some movement. It is, of course, a survivorship bias, but if you believe in it, go for it. I am also considering it, limit is set to $10.

Re: Samsung Bloatware, cheaper Samsung mobile you buy, more bloatware you end up with. That is how they probably reduce the cost to the user by charging the bloatware app creators/providers. Got S24Ultra directly from Samsung, no bloatware and every app there is on this phone, is uninstallable.

Every dealer seems to have a different price. The closest to me charges $9.80+tax. A little far, another dealer charges $4.28. I got 25% discount on black Friday on that $4.28. Check the prices through Toyota parts website. @twelve Isn't your Camry rated for 0W-16? 2023 Camry Hybrid is, and I...

Do you live near the warehouse? They build a new warehouse about 5 miles from my place and for some deliveries more than $25, they will deliver between 2 and 5 am.

As others have said, I would research Brother printers and get one. They are not fussy about 'genuine' consumables. Wirecutter recommends HL-L2350DW or MFCL2750DW. The latter is similar to one I have, Brother DCPL2540DW. Going strong after 9 years of regular use.

I have bought a good number of phones from Ebay/Swappa. The phone conditions on Ebay I found to be better than stated. Whether its a 'really' new or not, you will most likely never know because all phones are wiped clean before sold. If you ever suspect, its not new as stated, you can always...

STRONGLY suggest AGAINST buying from 3rd party on Walmart. If any issues arises, you most likely will be SOL. I found eBay/Swappa to be better options. Ebay has it for $249 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/204640563153)
