    Skid plate charge: $6 at Pronto

    Taking off and putting back on a skid plate is the worst if your shop does oil changes in a pit. I wish my company done this... we'd probably get less Toyota v8s and euro stuff 👍

    What's good, and not so good, in brake pads these days?

    Wagners thermoquiets I bought recently off RA were made in Mexico... great pads thus far

    Post your latest oil purchase or even filter.

    Just purchased two 5 qt jugs of idemitsu 0w20 sp and 2 hengst filters for my 2.5 Nissans from rock auto with a discount code 👍 change twice a year using 5w30 in the hotter months

    post your latest transmission lubricant change.

    Did the first drain and fill on the wife's 2016 Rogue CVT with 80,000 miles.. the notorious Nissan whine had just started. 4 qts of OE Cvt fluid came out looking like motor oil, filled with 4 qts of bluish green Idemitsu NS3. Hardest part was removing the stupid locking cap. Strange enough, the...

    Auto Technician Compensation

    Just throwing it out there.. in a very rural part of the country my techs at Walmart start off at 17 per hour.. sounds like you're doing much more for less.

    Difference between on Jiffy Lube sold filter and a Fram Ultra on a Ford 6.2l engine

    In fram part numbers, the 2 has been consolidated for the more often used 10060, and the 16 to a 3614. My shop stopped stocking the 4386 and 7317 years ago.

    2015 Nissan Xterra reliability

    Best vehicle I've owned. Past the milkshake of death concern and timing chain guides in 2015. All trim levels except Pro-4x lack just about every modern convenience by 2015, but reliable and fun to drive.

    cars made in Mexico

    I bought a new Versa in 2013, made in Mexico. My mom drives it now with OE cvt fluid and 120,000+, no fit and finish issues but was a bare bones cheap commuter..

    Weird private-label tire names

    It seems Linglong has caught on that it's a horrible name and has started labeling tires as "Crosswind" only. Prior to the last year or so, we'd get them in labeled as Linglong Crosswind.

    What Brake Pads Should I Get

    I'd spend an additional 2-5 dollars from rockauto and get Wagner Thermoquiet if available for your vehicle.

    Post your latest beer consumption

    Just tried a Heineken Silver for the first time... tastes just like Rolling Rock. OE Heineken is my go to.

    Thoughts on Kohler 7000 series engines

    I have one in my CC LT46. 22hp, only 95 hours thus far but been a great engine and lawn mower for my not so flat 3 acres. Changed oil 3 times with Valvoline Daily Protection 10w30 and the black Kohler Filter.

    2002 Nissan Sentra (kid's first car)

    No personal experience with a Sentra of that year, but always figured a ton of shops probably overfill the engine since they spec 3 qts. Many vehicles are 3.5, it's the only one I know of that's less.

    Greatest/worst 3.5/3.6 24-valve V6 of the late 2000s?

    Another vote for Nissan... The VG33 in my first vehicle, a 2001 Frontier which I had long enough to do 2 timing belts on is still driving around here with what I presume is over a half million miles on it. Hated all the hoses and plumbing around it but solid. Had a couple maximas with the 3.5...

    What vehicles have really good AC?

    2001 and 2005 Toyota Camrys I owned had the coldest air. Never serviced either system except cabin filters for several hundred thousand miles. Extremely hot and humid Alabama and Florida weather.

    They need to stop with these black editions

    In the minority here... own a Midnight Edition Altima, I think Nissan does well with these and prefer black wheels and trim over chrome.

    Kohler oil filter new design?

    My 22hp Kohler Cub Cadet sounded better using the OE shorter filter than any assorted 3614 I threw on it... possible explanation. Manual stated letting oil absorb into filter for a certain time and prefilled with fresh oil before install. Maybe a reason to actually spend the extra money 🤔

    Where to buy a house in the US?

    Very far from places you mentioned you had family but... Huntsville, Alabama area is beautiful and affordable. Lower cost of living compared to rest of US but higher than the rest of the state.

    Walmart EverStart batteries longevity?

    If available I normally buy the Plus (2 year free replacement) for $99, Tend to get about 4 years out of them, terrible heat here in Alabama summers. The Value 24F is the exception. I'm a Wal-Mart Service Manager and rarely have to exchange that group size Value Line for whatever reason. Ours...
