    Would you buy a new Mitsubishi?

    Yeah but you've gotta take the battery and tray out but it ain't bad. I changed it once and it didn't look dirty just dark. Fwiw I floored it at a standstill windows down no ac or radio and kept an eye on the rpms with an ear out to do a health test and made it burn rubber which was the first...

    Hydraulic Oil for John Deere Excavator

    Zinc free oils are really only meant to be environmentally friendly in case of a spill. Fwiw using something with zinc is nothing but a benefit. It can be corrosive to yellow metals but I don't know of any normal hydraulic system that has it other than it being on the gland of the cylinder for...

    10W-35

    I use 15w-40 in my zt and the tank goes down the same as the 5w-30 it had.

    Anyone ever used a FRAM 3600 in place of a PH 16 on a truck?

    As long as you have the extra 1.5 inches for length clearance yes. The 16 is wider and shorter but the gasket id and od are the same as the 3600 so it will seal perfectly.

    2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee transmission fluid

    Better base stock since it has the same vii, kv 100, and 40 but with a lower pour point and brookfield figure, can do longer drains, and the additive pack is more focused as it's more for newer step shifts instead of older and newer step shifts and cvt's like maxlife. Maxlife claims down to...

    2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee transmission fluid

    8 speed? can't use atf +4. A great fluid is valvoline EP atf. Maxilfe should work but I'd rather spend the extra on the better EP atf instead...

    Mobil 1 ESP 5w-30 or Mobil 1 ESP 0w-30 | 3.5 EcoBoost

    Flip a coin. Either is still much better than the syn blend motorcraft these usually get. I got a lot of castrol edge 5w-40 since it was on sale for 23.97 in store and online at walmart and I think it still is. Euro 30 and 40's aren't far away hths wise at least with off the shelf ones. Boutique...

    Would you buy a new Mitsubishi?

    Understandable but as long as you don't floor it like it's a rental and you do spill and fills which is insanely easy on this transmission it'll still run like brand new at 101k miles like mine but sometimes I wonder if it'll randomly fail because I think the solenoids are known to do that or...

    Would you buy a new Mitsubishi?

    Same here. 2500 rpm's is more than enough to get going with this 2.4 on a busy day and on a slow day with no traffic 2000 will do. Never needed to push it to 3k or more and frankly I don't want to I want the cvt to live. This is the only single car that I'd ever repurchase that is the same...

    Would you buy a new Mitsubishi?

    The new ones yeah and I think it's the new outlander that has nissan dna but not the outlander sport. That one is spared and is shockingly reliable.

    Would you buy a new Mitsubishi?

    Absolutely. They're very reliable and that's mostly because they're mechanically old and the drivetrains just keep getting made year after year. The interior is very well put together with no squeaks or rattles after 101k and 9 years or anything loose sounding unlike my 2021 escalade which had...

    VQ37VHR Motor bogging down at cold start; oil related?

    You sure it's not a starter or battery. No way 5w-30 is doing that at those temps. I remember my sierra struggling in the cold snap while the Yukon didn't but the battery on the sierra went out a month later. You could check the battery by putting it on a charger or maintainer overnight and if...

    Air India Flight AI171 (Boeing 787-8) Crash

    Wow this just happened some hours ago. My god that's depressing, no survivors. I wonder if this video is real or if it's some disgusting AI fakery. Nowadays I don't even know. It looked like it had a quick descent at the very end and was pitch up and I don't think I see flaps extended out? so a...

    CRV HCF-2 OEM may not be the best

    That and some vehicles with cyl deactivation (not the crv in question) can have the failure happen more quickly but if disabled the torque converter lasts longer. OEM fluid is good but some places may recommend amsoil or something else. Cvt's do generate a lot of heat but if cooled well and...
