    EPA possibly goes after the Start/Stop System!

    Our 2016 Pilot has failed to restart at intersections twice in the last week. This requires the driver to put the car into "Park" and push the "Start" button. Not an uncommon complaint among owners. I just ordered a device that will turn off auto start/stop every time automatically.

    Failed transmission removal. What did I miss?

    A non-self-adjusting clutch (which this appears to be) will get stiffer as it wears... at least that's what I've read.

A couple months later, my son is driving in a parking lot and gets hit - Totaled. Other party tried to claim he was at fault, but they...

    I posted about my 2019 Accord Hybrid in another thread. Currently at 261k miles, getting about 41mpg indicated (42-43 actual?) in mixed driving. The current Honda hybrid system doesn't have a lot of problems. The old IMA system did.

    Looking for the most experienced oil filter expert (or moderator) to answer one question.

    I ordered from this seller in the past and I did have a couple come in dented, at least one had a rattle in it. I have bought other sizes from the same guy in the past with no issues, but I don't think he sells the other sizes that I need anymore.

    Paint Scrape Removal

    It's a solvent for cleaning gun barrels - should be able to find it at gun shops or gun sections of sporting goods stores, maybe even Walmart.
