    Garage heat options

    I was thinking like that but my parents and many friends have forced hot air in their houses not water/steam.

    Garage heat options

    My one friend has soap stone wood stove in his garage (and his house). The stone heats up and radiates nicely and evenly He put a couple big fans in ceiling to help circulate that. In his house a blower setup behind it that draws cold air low and shoots it past the stove. Woodstove.com My...

    Vehicle recommendation (4 seat, sporty, manual, reliable)

    @kehyler - what is your daily commute with a long section of highway that will allow somewhat sporty and fun to drive? What do you do on it now? What would change with vehicle to make that more fun? Perspective- I'm 3 lane expressway going opposite rush with lighter traffic at about 70mph for...

    Post your dry dog food

    Rachel Ray Nutrish. Wife alternates flavors but he gets that until bag is done about 1 month from Chewy. Currently chicken & brown rice recipe with veggie & fruit blend. Funny enough he always picks out the bigger dried carrot pieces and drops them next to his bowl, BUT he is more than happy to...

    Valvoline R&P, Honda K24, 250k miles, report on progress

    It's cleaning up well on that plate. Why does it bug me that a good full syn with everything else spotless, leaves that much from fumes or whatever? Sort of like @Glenda W. with the oil burning. I know I posted pics in other threads of that baffle plate in my daughters '08 CRV 2.4L with HPL...

    Cracked cover on five month old Samsung washer- juice worth the squeeze?

    My Samsung lid cracked at the mounts. I called and they said there was a recall that had to be done......but not on that. It was for the entire top coming loose from unbalanced load. After that was fixed they said they could file a warranty claim for the top which they did. Parts were not...

    Your Opinion on Choosing an Oil Grade

    First if you use that over recommended, we can say "it's totaled". I trying to stand in the oil aisle and use this method. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Actually with all the sales stash varieties I can do that in my garage next time.

    Which oil filter for my Honda Fit, from RockAuto?

    Kind of a funny answer for BITOG IMO. We scrutinize oil details to micro differences for additive packs, cleaning and the actual lubricating. We all want good value but will pay more if it's a better oil for our vehicles in our opinions. Then we get this above. Buy the cheapest, doesn't...

    Which oil filter for my Honda Fit, from RockAuto?

    6 pack of which ones? Rock Auto doesn't seem to have the same issues as eBay with counterfeits.

    Post a photo of your oil on dipstick (with miles)

    For me at that effort I'm going to replace it but if it works for your schedule, you be you. $13 each for a potentially wavy leaking bypass valve FE7317 vs under $5 PG4612EX. I just plugged in 6 of the PG's on RA, shipped to me, with tax. $37.89 total = $6.32 each If I had stock on the FE7317...

    Which oil filter for my Honda Fit, from RockAuto?

    My plan is the PG4612EX's on next order. All the filter C&P's and discussions to me show the Premium Guards to be a really good choice.

    Post a photo of your oil on dipstick (with miles)

    That's part of the reason I'm not a fan of not changing the filter. The 7317 filters hold almost 1/2 quart so dirty, fuel diluted stays there to mix with new. Future daughter-in-laws Tucson is about the same as you. about 6k per year with fuel dilution. I made her OCI 6 months/3k miles with...

    Vehicle recommendation (4 seat, sporty, manual, reliable)

    @kehyler - random question. Why no RWD? I see MA so your concern is winter? My opinion, any vehicle you get should get winter tires for that season, for me especially as family hauler. All mine get true winter on all 4, safety investment. My sister had a '90 Mustang GT 5 speed. Yup it was...

    Post a photo of your oil on dipstick (with miles)

    With only 46k on the motor and 1700 on that I hope its a lighting thing. Known history? As asked previous oils? Previous OCI's? Was filter changed on this round?

    Vehicle recommendation (4 seat, sporty, manual, reliable)

    Budget? New or used? CT5-V or CT 4? Civic Si or R or the Acura Integra cousins. Subaru WRX. Jetta GLI. Hyundai Elantra N. Toyota GR Corolla. All 4 door with some having decent room in the back. With car seats and kids getting bigger I went from Corolla to Sonata at the time, even then sticks...

    I'm not sure that jealous emoji really fits. I think it needs more like an admiration, respect, impressed, love type thing. 🥰🥰 :cry::geek::p

    P215/60ZR16. Yes, "ZR" tires. Help...

    How do you drive it daily, track, recreation, long trips? How many miles on it? is snow or ice a concern? What qualities are you looking for besides just that Z speed rating? Lots of good choices in the V rating which is up to 149mph. I had some different sedans that came with and spec'd V on...

    Valvoline Restore and Protect - 2017 Hyundai 3.3 V6

    Walmart has it and advertises VRP as an option in the service bays. If it was a concern I'm sure they wouldn't do that there. It was something I noted when I was walking through as an option for many that go to quick lubes

    Last Detail of the '89 Trooper

    My friend and his dad both had them. Saw a lot of abuse and help up pretty good. My father-in-law bought one about 20 years ago, had it like a year and got totaled on corner of his block

    Oil Change Stickers: Display Last Service or Next Service Due?

    I usually search my own posts on BITOG on my phone while sitting in the car to see when I did it last and then bust out the calculator and think how many short trips I took. Then I panic and check my oil and filter stash and weather reports. :unsure: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: . Actually...
