had good experiences with hondapartsguys dot com, a dealer in Alabama. just don't be in a rush.....expect 10-day processing times, then add shipping time

https://online.lubrizol.com/relperftool/pc.html that tool is not a magic wand...but gives you an idea. if you really want to max your oil, you are best off submitting oil samples to a lab and then go forward from there

Years ago, there was a study by Google of the non-SSD hard drives that they used for storage re. lifespan. Dunno if the science still holds....but back then drive failures were front-loaded. If the drive survived the first 6 months, it is likely to last past the published "mean time to...

it all depends on: are you getting the hybrid purely for the $$$ payback; how much do you drive; do have you any particular quirks about your car likes; etc... I would go for the Corsair and keep my OCIs on the short side regardless of oil-filter combo, but that's just me. >>>I don't know if...

FWIW, in my area Walmart's website inventory status is wrong for Pennzoil Ultra....the website showed that it was unavailable at every Walmart within 40 miles, but the local Supercenter had plenty in stock. I think that there is a database issue and the SKU used by the inventory checker is...

I"ve never had this problem.from reputable websites until now... the capacity data for some vehicles are flat out wrong. once (at Castrol), I let it go as a fluke. twice (at Walmart), it is a trend...some vendor got it wrong. so if you see a capacity figure that doesn't jive with your...

what is needed is more UOA from cars over 100,000 miles. presumably up to xyz,000 miles regular oil change matters most regardless of brand, viscosity, etc. then the engine crosses the Rubicon and wear or damage from deposits increases exponentially. Where is the Rubicon for your car? It's...

Firm ride (fact); seats can use more thigh support (IMO); using xW30 oil really quiets the car and results in a smoother, silent engine at idle (subjective);

>>>>Just in case some don't know already you don't "need" to use 0w-8/16. Use 0/5w-30 all day if you want as opposed to 8/16 grade. Supposedly Toyota electric oil pumps spec'd for 0W16, do not like 30 grade. Don't flame me (I use 0W30 in my "manual recommends 0W20" engine w/a belt-driven oil...

If you have/know a regular mechanic, ask them which aftermarket warranties give them the least hassle. Mechanics don't want to deal w/insurers-adjusters who drag their feet on claims either If it was me, I'd just put the $xxxx cost of the warranty would cost in a savings account and not touch it.

Beyond the mechanical stuff... the ride and the seats. Ride will be firm. Depending on you and the roads in your part of TX, it may/may not be an issue. The seats will be firm/snug (IMO). Depending on you, it may/may not be an issue as you already gave a Mazda. I 100% recommend, but...

Every state's law is different. Ask around for consumers' attorney recommendations. Read your contract if there is a mandatory arbitration clause. BBB is not an official government agency. Have your paper trail handy, make a journal of everyone who you've talked to and what they said.

peeps are oveethinking this... (in the best tradition of BITOG) just have 1 winter-rated (-20 F, blue) wiper fluid jug as a spare in the garage. (on sale for $1.99/gallon at Menards up here in Iceberg-land) a 50-50 water/wiperfluid mix is overkill during the rare cold snaps in the Deep South.

CX-50h (but it's more compact-sized). Last-gen Toyota hybrid powertrain (bullet-proof), and CX-50 looks like a Ferrari compared to most Toyota hybrids (opinion).

If possible (and it's what they want), look at the 2.4L-port + 5-spd auto combo. had a 2009 CRV last 299k miles until sold to my mechanic. Only work needed was suspension and a new alternator. original fuel pump never touched That CRV was replaces with a 2020 CRV, 1.5L CVT.....that high...

Mazda CX-5 Out: Yokohama Geolander 91A from the factory with 26,000 miles (could have lasted another 10,000 if I lived in an ice-free climate). In: Falken Aklimate at Discount Tire, 36-24 production code, made in Thailand Bottom Line: great mid-tier tire (for this car which is driven...

yes, nowadays reversing a fraud charge is usually easy. 25 years ago, someone used one of my cards to buy a PS2 off of eBay (when the PS2 just came out, $400 i think). To reverse that charge, I had to send a nortarized affadavit to Citibank. No car, living in NYC...that involved a bit of...

I thought that I was being paranoid by keeping my credit cards locked (not all cards offer this). And it was annoying to always lock/unlock cards around purchases But I hit the lottery, someone failed at spending $300 at a bail company 600 miles away. I use the chip reader as much as...

>>>Talk me outta it. No >>>I am assuming the only way to buy is with an extended warranty. the rule w/extended warranties is if you can afford the worst case scenario out of pocket, not buying the warranty is the way to go. and this is that the warranty company is fair and only has...
