    2017 Honda CR-V Air Conditioner not working

    I just did the same on my 2008 CR-V. A/C not working at all so just to test, I swapped a couple of the same relay and it works fine. Stopping at the Honda dealer to get a new relay tonight. Saw a couple of good videos on youtube that gave pretty good info as the owner's manual leaves a little...

    Would you have bought the pizza?

    For what it just cost me in gas to get there, I'm not making a trip elsewhere! You know what they say..."Time is gas money!"

    Is" Mowing The Lawn" A Mans Job ?

    I push the mower and she pushes the vacuum. Her vacuuming season is 12 months whereas my mowing season is maybe 7-8 months max here in the Northeast! Sounds fair to me though she may disagree.

    What happened with vinyl tops over the years?

    I used to clean the whitewalls with a Brillo or SOS steel wool pad. Worked like a charm!

    Freezing bread

    Been doing it for years at work. I always toast it since it makes my sandwich feel more "gourmet". Usually have rye and wholewheat on hand.

    Nascar oil

    I've heard this same thing mentioned before. Teams, even with an major oil sponsorship, using Red Line or such. I would have no idea if that is true or not and I am not questioning you but I always wondered; are we to believe that Mobil, Pennzoil, Valvoline or Castrol, with all their resource's...

    Nascar Darlington Weekend

    We've seen it all before right? If the second place car tries to pass clean, the first place car is going to block him high or low and most likely wreck the both of them. The only thing the car in second can really do any more is try to move the leader out of the way (Rattle his Cage according...

    NY to FL. On a train! Updates with pictures of progress. (to and from)

    Did it once in 2002 with my wife and two kids aged 9 and 4. We're from northern NJ so we still had a long ride to VA just to get to the train. Then we had a long ride to Miami once we got off. On the train, we had reserved the family club car! Man, it sounded big! Well, our room was maybe 4' x...

    28 year anniversary since Ayrton Senna was killed....

    As I recall, the team had lengthened the steering column by spicing in a piece and the thought has been that the welded joint failed. Once that happened, total loss of steering. Many interesting videos can be found on YouTube.

    What is the opinion on castrol here on bitog?

    Castrol replied to another member in a different thread. They said GTX Full Synthetic and Magnatec are very similar formulations including the intelligent molecules. As a mid-tier synthetic, it looks goods. Has dexos approval also which the Pennzoil mid-tier synthetic does not.

    Switch from Full synthetic back to blend.

    Irv Gordon went over 3 million miles in his 1966 Volvo on Castrol GTX conventional. First engine rebuild at 680,000 but that was just because Volvo wanted to see what it looked like inside. There was no mechanical need to do so from what I've read. Could a car of today accomplish that kind of...

    Was your wife ever a Stay at Home wife/mom?

    My wife is a teacher. When we married, she taught for 10 years before we had kids so we could build up a financial cushion so she could stay home when the kids were small. It was during this time when our nerves were frayed due to lack of sleep and the smell of poop lingering in the air and...

    Who uses Pennzoil Platinum full synthetic?

    I've been using it for years in my Honda which now has 265,000 miles on it and she still runs great. What more can you ask for. Of course, I'm pretty sure anyone who uses Castrol, Valvoline, Mobil 1, etc and changes their oil on a regular basis would get the same results. I like Pennzoil in part...
