I'm on the getting and keeping the factory warranties these days. Maybe not what the dealer is offering and most likely not an aftermarket one. My Sequoia when I had it, father-in-laws Renegade and my Pilot now we got the warranty on line from a different dealer. They were all 1/2 price or less...

I did 2 D&F's so far on my sons 2010 Forte with Valvoline Import Multi-Vehicle and my Harbor Freight fluid extractor. I'll do a 3rd in a couple days before he takes to VA. Power steering got the same but with red bottle Maxlife. I plan to do my daughter-in-laws '21 Tucson also. I called 2 local...

@urman tested many and BG44k had the most PEA in his testing. It's in the thread with fuel system cleaners. Gumout Multi system also was pretty good on a price/volume comparison.

No pics of new going in. ’21 Tucson – 26k on vehicle, maybe 15k miles/2 years on filter Out - unknown from Indy shop but I remember we had to fix it and get the leaves out that fell in blower motor. In- Puroma with activated charcoal same as finklejag used. ’10 Forte – 192k on vehicle, about...

I do the same with the Pilot. Ramps make it's high enough and I use an empty 5qt jug from last OCI.

Daughter-in-laws '21 Tucson, only has 26k on it. She moves to VA in 2 weeks to join my son - cabin filter, air filter, front and rear brake pads. Pads still had some life left but they were rusting up and hard to get out. $120 for the pads at least I know they will be good for the road trips...

Did you install a VCM disabling device like S-VCM or VCM Tuner II that you unhook during that time? Just asking as some are under impression that the ECO or ECON button affects that. It does not. Only way I know is separate device that tells ECU that ECT1 is not above 165F, older ones used...

Do you use one of those for that wall art? https://www.cnn.com/style/duct-taped-banana-maurizio-cattelan-auction-hnk-intl

@Starving Electrician Having the VCM enabled shuts down 3 cylinders on light loads, cruising on highway. It also makes the TC slip so that you don’t feel that engage/dis-engage as much. It also uses the electronic motor mounts to assist with that. The added slip of course adds extra heat and...

Disable VCM like mentioned. More frequent changes as mentioned. Is it under an extended warranty? If no warranty and all yours, Find one of the full synthetic versions that the shifting characteristics are acceptable. Amsoil SS has gotten some good reviews. I’d probably try the new Valvoline...

Fluid pics? Looks a lot better than mine. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/valvoline-maxlife-atf-or-extended-protection-atf.393405/post-7265349

When I conversed with Dave at HPL he recommended the HPL Blue for my daughters '08 CRV. It's a bit thicker viscosity vs green more toward what the original Z1 was. It's like the blue bottle Valvoline Import Multi-Vehicle. That is 6.9 cst vs 5.9 cst on the maxlife and new EP. I had dealer do...

Not that color is the only indicator and only an oil analysis can tell true condition as compared to new but in my 50 years, dirty black transmission fluid is burnt up, has been overheated and lost many of it's original properties. Unless Honda is adding some additive at factory causing this...

The obligatory BITOG "It's Totaled" comes to mind. I've mixed/matched brands and viscosities to use up quarts for at least 45 years. The oil user/burner vehicles will most likely get topped up with multiple versions until my stash is all one flavor. Even then it might be a different viscosity...

New AT fluid and filter in father-in-laws CRV got it back shifting correct again from neglect. It stayed working well for another probably 50k until 2nd gear didn't want to anymore. Tried some fluid changes, solenoids, checked screens. Those didn't help anymore at that point. It did have almost...

@f355spider - see if you can get the family members to get in the habit of turning on the headlights especially with the short trips. Honda's charging algorithm and variable charge rate alternator keep it low to get the extra .001mpg. If it sees enough charge and not a high load it puts out like...

NOPE

We use these Staun Deflators often for the beach. By the time you screw on 4th one the first tire is almost down to pressure. They come preset at 18psi but you can adjust that if you want. I have a Viair 88P that we use for airing back up. It clips to battery so not limited on power port wiring...

This is for a 2 pack but I like the extra small reflector as they describe to add to original reflector coverage. I don't know on Motorcycle, just daughters CRV. If I need to replace in future I'll probably try these Morimoto 2Stroke 4.0 LED I have Nineo H4 LED in my daughters CRV currently...
