Never changed on a rental, I did top off, didn't really worry about it. If light is on, maybe the 5 previous renters did the same thing and just reset it. Maybe not caught in the company database so may be way over OCI. I topped off a U-Haul 15ft truck as I was hauling my sons stuff for 8 hours...

Not to say that hasn't happened before but if you have a documented receipt for 0W-20 with your files, scanned or hard copy (that fades), maybe pictures with mileage and dates also, how do they know if you returned the unopened 0W-20 and put in the 5W-30 that you bought at the same time on a...

On the website it doesn't list the VikingContact 8?

Thanks! Redwing King Toe with BOA system. No laces coming loose. Joys of wide feet and working in manufacturing where requirement includes non-slip, safety toe, waterproof. Buy once, cry once but comfort is worth it. Employer reimburses $100 yearly per pair. I had to have phone further out to...

2017 Accord, 122.5k on vehicle. 1000 miles on VRP 0W-20 with CQP filter.

So the loose fit lightly greased tabs may cause an issue if you don't pay attention. :eek: :whistle: First time this has ever happened to me. I put new Duralast Elite brake pads on front of my Accord yesterday. 😁 :ROFLMAO: TLDR - Back in April I was checking brake squeak and re-greasing pads...

You should be able to get $5 back also on the rebate so $4.53/qt.

Unless there may actually be a leak on air intake. Strange things happen at times even on a new build. Loose clamp? filter MIA or ripped? seal pinched? It happens.

Many of the rental companies have the versions on their fleets but you might need to hunt some and wait for one. Rent them for a week or weekend, go see the grandkids. Try out as a long test drive.

I don’t rack up the miles that many do on here. Over the years many of my vehicles hit the 1 year prior to hitting higher OCI. My Sequoia was about 7500 at the year mark, UOA showed I could do more. I can see the use case and financial investment into better oils in regard to downtime and other...

I like to do one on many of my vehicles just as a baseline in my use. It at least gave me an idea that 7500 / 1 year was fine in some and others need less 5k or even 3k/6 months from short trips/fuel dilution. I might do my Accord on next OCI. Currently 5k OCI but running VRP now to see if I...

Not that my Accord or CRV hold much more (4.5 qts) but at only 3.8qts have you done any UOA to see how the oil holds up with 7500 mile from MM?

New Sequoia has a HORRIBLE 3rd row. It's like an older Highlander small. Nice looking but scratched it of my list after trying to get in it at auto show. My son and I both thought that Grand Highlander had better 3rd row IIRC. Neighbor has a 3 row X5, too small for their needs. One of the many...

I don't know if it helps but I have a set of Mountain Wrenches that work very well when I have those odd low bolts. Not open end but ratchet each direction and have an "offset" side to go slightly in recessed openings. They work awesome for serpentine belts and when that extra leverage is...

Those look weird. Which way do they go on? Does the plug rest in the recessed portion or does the thin edge go against the pan until it is torqued?

Nearby as in one on you at least with rifle for longer accuracy close.

I'll be 56 next week. I still enjoy doing my own work, it just gets tough. Both knees have been operated on but arthritis / crepitus just adds daily pains. Most of my cartilage is gone on both knees. Someday I'll be in the new knees group. I hate spending money to pay someone for what I can do...

@PW01 - Looks like your car has projector low beams and also H11 for them. Have you ever changed the headlight bulbs? With what? How are the lights/lenses overall? Just as an FYI- this is my Accord with H11 HID at 5k with 55W ballasts. Not that crazy LED white glare. A lot more light than...

One big thing is how the beam pattern is and also if really foggy what your car has for DRL as well as your headlights and if you can isolate. I've had times were I had slow down a bunch and use just fog/parking. Even LED DRL's reflected too much. I've also had factory "fog" lights that were...

You could get totally OCD and put some small blocks under the wheels at the low side of garage. A piece of 2x6 under each wheel should do it. Check with a level if that worried. I actually took my 4ft level and held it against the rocker panel to see when I was doing tranny D&F on...
