    Costco: stores open for exec. tier 1 hr early, starting Jun 30

    This reeks of upcharge trapping. Can't imagine how many will upgrade when they show up and are told to either wait or upgrade.

    Low mileage late 2000 Jaguar XJL purchase considered

    As much as I love that old style x350 XJ it's too much for it even with 35k miles.

    Injector issues are showing up in Europe for the Toyota M20A Engine

    Bad QC I imagine. The 341k port injectors in my yukon are still original and work like new and I never used any fuel system additive and I buy 87 from costco or walmart 90% of the time. Can't be hard to make port injectors last at least a half million miles.

    Cam2 ATF4 Transmission fluid

    It's ok but do you have it on hand or no? You can buy 1 gallon jugs of valvoline atf +4 for around 30 at autozone. Castrol transmax is also a great substitute and walmart sells jugs for $24 and it does state atf +4 and it's also 7cst like the proper +4 while maxlife is too thin at just under 6...

    2026 Cadillac OPTIQ-V w/NACS

    I love the color blue but that blue thing in the dash looks disgusting and tacky and not even in a good way. That should be wood. It reminds me of those ugly spray painted dashboards that mostly hispanics have in their old trucks around here.

    Rotella gas truck oil dark after sitting

    Some mobil oils have a tendency to do this and I'm sure it's happened to other brands since it can happen due to the base stock source and possibly the additives doing something. Look up mobil 1 motor oil turns red. Though it's not supposed to be harmful so I'd still run it.

    Cruze 1.6 oil

    A different size that won't fit unfortunately. Looks to have full syn media too. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/the-new-supertech-9972-toyota-cartridge-filter-is-rather-impressive.384809/

    Cruze 1.6 oil

    I know the super tech 10246 is popular because it's 3 bucks but very good along with other $3 cartridge filters. There is one that is even wired backed at that price. Frankly that's what I believe a cartridge filter should cost. There isn't a shape formed, welded, painted, threaded, gasketed...

    FUCHS Oil

    Can't go wrong using any brand as long as it meets minimum specs but has approvals better yet and it's changed accordingly. I'd avoid oils like mannol which not only don't meet euro approvals but sometimes don't even meet basic ilsac/api requirements. But most oils aren't that special and steady...

    Burying an ethernet cable across the yard, how do I do it?

    A rental is a good idea to do it right. I imagined it cost more. Didn't know about the lightning strike and it frying stuff. Just need a truck to take it to and from.

    Burying an ethernet cable across the yard, how do I do it?

    This says it's outdoor rated but who knows for sure but I think I'd run outdoor rated cable and use landscaping pins/staples to keep it secured. I wouldn't want to do more work than that if I had to do this...

    Burying an ethernet cable across the yard, how do I do it?

    No way I'd be doing that by hand and I don't don't see how a chain or circular saw could work that well in all honesty. Think you could find a small middle buster or hitch mounted ripper attachment for a riding mower/atv/golf cart if you have one? maybe something like this. If I was in this...

    2025 Toyota 2.5L Engine Oil Viscosity Update.

    Even if it specs 0w-8 you can still use 30 grade in them

    2025 Toyota 2.5L Engine Oil Viscosity Update.

    Use whatever you want in that a25a hybrid or not. Nebraska gets chilly so something like M1 ESP 0w-30 would be great. ESP 0w-20 would be another good option if you want thinner. 0w-16 and 20 are virtually the same except 0w-20 can have the same or tad lower kv100 as a 0w-16 while still having a...

    Flew on a brand new American 787-900

    That nice warm light does look incandescent but it's likely led.

    Is this excessive wear for 75k miles? Honda ridgeline 2019 6speed awd

    For 75k including break in that's ok so I wouldn't worry. What fluid did you use.

    I caught two boys stealing mail

    Never thought about stealing mail and I don't see why anyone would. Ask the Sherriff why they were stealing because I presume he got them to answer why. I've never sent or received money in them and they're mostly bills, medical results, school stuff, and junk mail. I don't see what there is to...

    Rattling Noise With A/C On — Goes Away When Turned Off

    Tensioner is always spinning when the engine runs so maybe the compressor is failing and if that's the case change it now before you end up needing to change the condenser and need to flush the metal out of the system. I don't imagine these have a fot and a screen you can inspect but I don't...

    Amazon headlights with Osram bulbs...a win

    Looks great. Would clear coating or ppf wrapping them be worth doing?
