I ended up ordering the dozen Microgard, thanks for the advice!

I guess this really should have been in the European oil subforum. But I don't have any European cars anymore!

I had a Volvo S40 T5 for a few years. It was a pretty fun car, although I could have appreciated a smoother, quieter ride. I always used some kind of Euro oil in it, although I guess it wasn't required by the owner's manual. So I had a couple of jugs of 0w40 Mobil 1 Euro in my cabinet, ready for...

My Accord hybrid hates cold weather, several low 30s tanks this winter, looks like I might hit 40 indicated (41+ actual) on this tank with milder weather.

A bit more on topic, I got my Vulcan Ranger for nearly free from my brother in law because it had a miss. New plugs fixed the miss. Fun fact with the Ranger is Ford speced different plugs for right and left banks. One with platinum ground, one with platinum electrode. Dual platinum could be...

I went from a 1998 Ranger with the Vulcan to a 1997 with the Lima 2.3. Extended cab, even. I much prefer the 2.3 over the Vulcan. Tough little engine. Mines at 315k, been through two teens, and it's not an oil burner. I replaced the head a couple of years ago, though.

Rockauto has those cheap ("Famous Brand"), but the eBay seller is cheaper when you factor in shipping.

I've had the Accord for about 3500 miles and it's still showing 70% on the MM, so maybe a bit more than 10k oci? I feel like the Pilot is more like a 7500 mile oci. I'll pay better attention. We just got it last August and it's just about due for its second change.

So I've depleted my stock of OG Fram Ultras for Honda applications and it's about time for my next change. I have a 2016 Pilot (115k) and 2019 Accord Hybrid (255k) - both use the Fram 7317 size. Both seem to be running well and look clean inside the oil fill hole. According to Honda's...

Top 5 maybe, but Audi UFO rotors would probably be #1:

I had a go round with evap codes on my 1997 Ranger and the only fix was getting a NOS purge valve and solenoid from Ebay. The aftermarket stuff (including Standard) kept throwing codes.

I have a 15 year old son who is a stroke survivor. It has affected his coordination, so I don't know if he will be able to drive safely. He took Driver's Ed and the instructor said he wasn't ready to drive on his own. If self driving tech can get good enough for him to operate independently, it...

#1 - Glad everyone is safe. I also had a kid wreck a car that was liability only; happened last year. I'm not sure about the timeline here, but it looks like you are saying you added the car to your policy after the damage occurred. That could be a bit of a sticky situation. Does the Tiguan...

I'll weigh in again... If the Accord is a manual, yes. Auto, I would pass on. I had a 1998 4-cylinder manual and it was pretty fun to drive - decently good shifter and a motor that liked revs. On the other hand, I don't know how a manual fits in your plan for short-term-ownership. I am also a...

My new-to-me Accord has Tuxmats and I'm very impressed with the coverage, the fit, the texture. It keeps the car clean but you don't feel like you're in a cargo van either. I haven't tried to clean them yet. Our van has Weathertech - OK but they curled up on the edges. Our Pilot is also...

They are mounted behind the hub, I think.

"It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage!" I'm on team high miles. At one time, I had four cars and all were past 200k, mean 250k. Now I added a 115k Pilot and replaced one of the cars with another with even more miles.

I kind of like the Rendezvous, rented one once when they were new. Whose grain bins are those? 🤑

I hate to say because I'm sure I'll have people thinking I'm a moron. It was about 1/3 what most of them with reasonable miles are selling for though, maybe a little more. Price was actually about in the middle of kbb.com price for "Fair" condition with this many miles. Although the car IMO is...

I had a Mazda B2200 with a ticking valve adjuster and I don't think it was related to load at all.
