    Any reason Honda would deny warranty coverage on this 2019 Civic R transmission?

    Would these reasons hold up if the issue was escalated? https://www.autocare.org/government-relations/current-issues/Magnuson-Moss-Warranty-Act "a manufacturer can only deny warranty coverage if it can demonstrate that a non-original equipment part or related service caused a defect to occur...

    best wiper's for rainy / hot weathers?

    I recently ordered the Trico silicone ceramic from rockauto. It's new https://www.tricoproducts.com/products/super-premium-performance-wiper-blades/trico-silicone-ceramic For the Honda, they're the best blades I've ever used. Quiet and they clear the window better than the old flagship Trico...

    Valvoline Restore & Protect 5w-30 (Gonna Take a Chance)

    Feels like I just read a bunch of misleading reviews. Some almost seem written by AI. If anyone from Valvoline reads this, this influencer program is shameful when many here show authentic and knowledgable enthusiasm (ex: threads dissecting an oil filter). every spring? it just came out..

    2016 Honda HR-V, 17151 miles, Red Line CVT

    Total# of miles on this UOA: 17151 Total # of miles on the replacement CVT: 23201 Can’t say I’m happy as a high acid number came up before the old CVT failed: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/cvt-uoa-taken-before-honda-hr-v-transmission-failure.368942/ One good thing is my mechanic...

    FRAM True Air - Canada

    Not sold in Canada as far as I'm aware. My advice since they're lightweight, buy a few and have them forwarded. My favourite forwarder: https://syrush.com/calculator No American sales tax when shipped here. $0.99 receiving fee. ~150g/filter x 4 = 600g USPS first class to my address in Canada...

    EV Police Pursuit Vehicles

    Better battery technology exists. Lithium titanate batteries (LTO) seem to have it all (fast charging, cold weather performance, safety... etc). I bought some used cells to use as a 12v car battery...

    Fram titanium air filters

    The Japanese manufacturer of my aftermarket air filter did some testing to show their filter allows more air flow than others https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/fun-order-from-japan-pm2-5-cabin-air-filter-hvac-bacteria-mold-inhibitor-for-my-honda-hr-v.361869/ It was enough to convince me...

    EV Police Pursuit Vehicles

    you're right, just as many would think it's stupid but not stupid enough to change their view on the police which this crowd most likely already supports so the goal is still realized

    EV Police Pursuit Vehicles

    Lately, it feels like I've been seeing a lot of things done just for show (ex: reusable bags, bad recycling programs) Many in my area drive EVs because they feel it's better of the environment. Many also have a negative image of the police. Buying a few would be an easy sell to help...

    Winter Tires or All Weather Tires

    Same thing for my province but it's legal next door in all of Quebec. In 2005, research showed some studs do 75% less damage compared to when they were banned. Reviews for tires like the hakkapeliitta 10s make me jealous as you're often faced with bad weather when driving on the best ski days

    PEA Concentrations at the Gas Pump

    Second post: When I think of an ester that can clean, I’m hoping it’ll behave similarly to Valvoline‘s blue restore or HPL (unless I’m misquoting, someone here wrote it should clean rings within a year). My car used to have bad oil consumption. At its worst, it was 2 quarts every 3000 miles. By...
