Bought 4 Continental sensors for my Mazda3 from rockauto. Boxes came, but they look as if sitting on shelf for a long time. The sensor IDs are "smaller" than the ones currently on car which are 16 years old since I bought the car new. Three of the sensors' battery life is nearing the end, hence...

Ok. The reason it failed sooner then expected is corrosion on the aluminum. Clean the mating area, and coat the area and the mount itself with fluidfilm to slow corrosion. I have a 2007 mazda3.

Are you not concerned about the lack of Boron? Sure oil analysis does catch all additives and there has been no documents that suggested they are using undetectable elements. Maybe D1G3 bar is still low enough to pass without Boron. But I like Boron for short trips. Am considering switching to...

I wanted PUP but can’t get it easily. For PP I am taken aback by the bare minimum Moly and zero boron.

The latest VOA indicated that the Moly is at bare minimum and zero Boron. This might contribute to the louder noise.

Thanks for the enlightenment guys.

typo fixed. sorry.

I have been using TGMO for the past 10 years on my 2013 Camry. It's got to a point that the dealership is not willing to give me discount anymore. So I need to get back to 0w20 oils that I can buy from Walmart. Is Pennzoil platinum still the favorite in our community? Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words from all of you. The computer she is using was built in Dec 2019. And at that time I had RTX 2070 Super. Earlier this year I got her the RTX 4080 on the same computer. Software wise she had Maya and Blender... not sure which is being used.

Work project after graduation

gotta move on I guess... I would like to get a new camcorder... later this year, thinking black Friday etc... but not sure if I should shell out for a 4K camera... what do you all think? do you have a 4K, what's your favorite? Thanks.

yesterday I took the camcorder out for a short capture of something I am working on. The unit is a Panasonic HDC-TM90, does the 1080 recording. I bought it likely in 2011 to 2012 time frame, don't really remember. The screen flickered and later on went blank. Come to think of it... over the...

Thanks fornyour note...I applied battery red spray after dry/clean connection, and after it dried, applied fluidfilm.

as said a few posts ago, the retainer ring is missing on the quick connector. My Mazda MPV has the same setup for both heater hoses. One connector nipple became brittle and broke upon flexing the hose when I was replacing the starter. There are two adjacent sealing O rings inside the connector...

Closure: 1. New starter arrived 7 days later, installed, all good. Fired up on first try. Cleaned all electric connections. 2. Found out the heater hose and quick connectors needed attention, replaced them as well. 3. Wrapped the EGR tube so the nearby heater hoses can live better. 4. Saved the...

Took apart the bush end of the motor. Here are a few pics. I think it's repairable with a new bush/holder unit if there are good ones...

Placed order on the BBB Industries, New Starter. Thanks!

OK... thanks! rockauto has both reman and new from BBB Industries. I am thinking to get a new one. what do you think?

My 2000 Mazda MPV (i know, it's old) failed to start and left me stranded (story for another day). The culprit is that the cable between the solenoid and the starter motor is broken at the solenoid bolt. It is not the solenoid connection to the B+ (the other bolt). It's rust. Is it possible to...
