To my understanding, OEM coils have a easier life if the gap on the sparkplugs doesn't grow much from new. So replacing the plugs early is to extend expected lifespan of coils.

In one fall from a 8ft ladder I broke 7 ribs, my collarbone, my tailbone, my cockx, and I can tell you all about pain. Therapy included cutting up that POS Aluminum ladder into small little pieces. Bone pain and healing is very tiring. Sleep is helpful, however finding that position to sleep...

Flat spots on the 4 tires? maybe?

Sealed plastic stored indoors, away from ocean, should be perfectly fine in 5 years for Brake Rotors. If plastic is not sealed, spray some Fluid Film into the bags and just remember when you are eventually going to use these parts to clean off the FF with brake clean.

If you spin the engine backwards when the filter box is open, the risk of dirt being ingested is much less, well because. Some amateurs will attach a leaf blower to exhaust pipe, same outcome. Just kidding on both ideas.

Usually, this is because of loose connections on the switch. High resistance = heat generated.

For the 2023, I'd not use the older spec fluid. CVT's are fussy. Aftermarket products from Idemitsu, Eneos, Aisin should be fine IF they specifically state compliance to the new fluid specs.

Yes. I wasn't impressed with the item, but it worked. $34 CAD for the junction box.

We have a water softener for all the house plumbing, so the hard water issues are not a problem. The old Kenmore had a pulverizer pump that meant food debris was never an issue. Bosch has user accessible filters that must be removed and rinsed, but I have no idea of how often this will be...

The Kenmore finally died last week. It was not draining and the water overflowed to the floor, wife mopped it up, and it happened again. Shut off water and electricity and found Rona Canada had a good sale and $100 CAD coupon deal so we got a Bosch Series 300 with the 3 racks. The old Kenmore...

The Volvo is an understandable preferred ride to the Toyota. Motor On!

Louvers not being visibly open to the eye, viewed from the assembled threaded hole is not exactly scientific. If the louvers are not open at all it's because the die section that presses the profile is worn down from lack of die maintenance in the stamping operation. In all louvers are a...

ACME Anvil Company, they make deliveries too.

In 1992 my car was hit by a wheel coming off a old 1st Gen Honda Accord being towed on the HWY 401 near Pearson International Airport, saw it coming for at least 100m but was boxed in by trucks on either side, I drove as far to the left side of my lane as possible while going 120km/h and the...

As we all know, new cars can be totalled within minutes of leaving the dealer lot, so not all used tires were on cars uses for Paris-Dakar Rally. As mentioned above, the date codes are very key to deciding.

Gives officer reason to pull you over?

Tap out & go.

Definitive answer comes from oil analysis report. If you have some of the old oil, request a sample bottle from Blackstone Labs and they can tell you what's up.

I can understand the business sense of Denso, but for all aftermarket part consumers it presents a big problem. If your car's part is something that Denso makes, is it made to fit 50 cars? or 10 ? regardless it means that perhaps the dealer part counter has the closer match to OEM spec? If...
