Tire crayon or chalk.

If the steering wheel was rotated multiple turns while disconnected from system, you'll need a new clock spring. To my experience the damage can't be undone by winding back to the centre position.

That's scary!

I like that in one place you can compare all physical characteristics of a complete product category. The CR opinions are, IMO, taken with the pinch of salt necessary.

I stopped buying any watch battery or CR2032 type cells from Amazon. They might not have been fakes, but they lasted 1/3 or 1/2 as long as I usually experienced. Old stock? I feel your pain on spark plugs.

Tire wear is the leading source of micro plastic contamination. So how far away are we from vacuums installed behind each wheel catching all that horrible debris? then taking their Mahle/Hengst/Fram/Purolator/Baldwin filter bags to the special facility to have them emptied? Remember I said...

Agreed on the eventual need of a filter change, but keeping the fluid rejuvenated will prolong the transmission's life and might slow down debris generation.

Finished off the bag of Walmart Great Value pretzel sticks. My youngest son ate 75% of that bag, dagnamit!

I doubt any OEM company producing cars, trucks, ICE vehicles makes its own oils. They work with outside & inside Tribologists and Engineers to decide what is important and then make a recipe that is produced by an outside formulator. There might be secrecy, but let's be real here..

36 year old car, that I presume runs fine, without that 1 tapped hole being filled. Yes, this would trigger my own OCD.

Gonher makes Nissan filters in Mexico.

This is a family friendly place, as such no solutions can be offered.

I watched Engineering Explained's video on stop start, and learned that all SS systems do save fuel on the urban cycle. Not much, but it does work. However, there is usually a separate battery to supply SS needs and a heavier duty starter for same. Let's fast forward 5-7 years when the OEM...

Stop start has to be the most dangerous feature to add for the miniscule amount of fuel it saves when the extra costs & risks are all considered

Sweet mysteries of life, now RESOLVED!

Pet foods are perhaps the most divisive topic outside of human vaccinations or politics. I'm shocked the mods allow this one to make 2 pages.

Frozen 20 lb turkey fell when lid was open?

I think you'll be able to clean it good enough. Remove, 3 cans of brake clean, 2 rolls of blue towels, your wife's toothbrush, your MIL toothbrush and you'll be fine. Use your judgement on re-using the toothbrushes.

I found the main bathroom sink was not flowing well, and once I used some Aluminum TIG rods (from 30 years ago sales job), on the overflow opening down to the main drain, the thing now drains like a champ. I will not share the colour or texture of the gunk removed.
