    New off the Shelf battery charge to 100% or just install

    I prefer charging it before installation. Alternators are designed to maintain a charge, and do poorly at charging a battery

    Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6L proper oil?

    0W-20 is a fuel economy / EPA play. 5w-30 all day if it was my Jeep.

    Mid-Size Hybrid SUV Choice for 2025 ?

    CX-50h or the RAV4 Hybrid are my picks. Mazda for the upgraded interior but funky entertainment controls (imo) Toyota for the functional interior.

    Brother's girlfriend's battery dead

    best oil for Ford 2.7L V6

    Assuming oil cap says 5W-30, as mentioned, any oil meeting the Ford spec and at most 5k changes. Ignore the OLM unless it tells you to change it sooner than 5k. A list can be found here. In order of my preference. 1. Castrol Edge EP (look further down the page) 2. Mobil 1 Advanced 3. Valvoline...

    rodents chewing fuel lines - what can be done?

    Bait stations around perimeter of the car. 10 - 12 or so. I use Tomcat brand. I would also use Victory mouse traps under the car, put cheddar cheese with peanut butter in the metal trigger jaw. Cheese needs to be forced into the jaw, otherwise they just lick it without triggering the trap...

    Expired temp tags, ugh we're one of them

    Wow. I work at a car dealership. Vehicles can be bought and licensed, title in buyers name, same day. Everything needs to be good in the process for same day. Next day is easy.

    Motherboard BIOS Update -> Beta? Or Not?

    ASUS Prime Z390 here. Version 3006. Actually a 2021 Build. The update is a little convoluted. These might help.

    Motherboard BIOS Update -> Beta? Or Not?

    My MB build is from 2017. A 2022 Bios update did the trick. Do you know your MB model and Bios version?

    Motherboard BIOS Update -> Beta? Or Not?

    I believe the test that failed was TPM 2.0. A newer BIOS fixed the failed test. Search your MB model and see if a newer BIOS can fix what fails on the Win 11 test when you run it. Seems like Win11 requires a more secure boot sequence.
