    NOCO GENIUS 10 burning out batteries?

    I'm not sure, on mine there is an AGM selection and it doesn't say 12v or 6v. It's ~10 yrs old. There is also a selection for 6v or 12v, (Bike or Car) since this is a VERY smart charger I think that once you select the Mode it will apply whatever setting is necessary for AGMs if selected. The...

    NOCO GENIUS 10 burning out batteries?

    Can't compare a CTEK to a Noco. I've had mine for 10+ years and never a problem. I remember reading a comparison between the 2 brands at the time I bought mine and the conclusion (based on built quality) was like comparing a Rolls Royce with a Chevy. Also look at the warranty difference between...

    Infiniti to cancel stand alone Infiniti dealerships

    It was the Bentley to the Lexus Rolls-Royce, then it lost its way and never recovered. Also that Rodeo like Plaque didn't help either.

    Magneti Marelli/Goodyear oil question

    Magneti Marelli doesn't manufacture any Motor Oil that I know of and neither does GoodYear. Probably both are selling oil from an oil refiner with their own label on it.

    2017 Subaru Outback 2.5L & CVT

    Weeeellll, Subaru makes its own CVT tranny, all the others have it made by outside suppliers. Amsoil is in business and as a universal fluid must go with the majority, which is NOT Subaru. Not a bet I'd like to make. May work & may not, if the latter what would the cost be to you?

    LG compressor replacement experience

    Lucky, your sister! I've read that when out of warranty, LG in particular gives the mantra....it's on back order and we have no idea when it will be available. So much so that an investigation was launched in the US to see if this was a ploy to sell new one instead. Don't know the results of...

    CTEK MXS 5.0 Battery Charger @ FCP Euro $80.99

    I've had one for 10 yrs and its has kept my batteries performing well for many many years, paid itself many times over. Should also mention that Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari etc all the high-end car manufacturers have CTEK make it for them with their own brand on it.

    Mazda CX-9 AWD - replace two tires okay?

    Check with the dealer as different size tires may affect your ABS some systems would be and some wouldn't. There is some variation margin that makes it still safe, but that varies from vehicle to vehicle.

    Battery maintainer in vehicles with dual batteries

    The maintainer ONLY charges the battery it's connected to. I'm assuming that the 2nd battery is a 6v like a Yuasa that controls the electronics (like MB used to have) The latter is charged by the alternator (same as the main one) but a maintainer is not connected to the alternator that's why the...

    Honda Battery or Interstate?

    There are NO guarantees that one Brand will last longer than another, BUT there is a trend. Some brands do last longer (all things being equal) price difference is also affected by: Amount & purity of the Lead Size of Cells Thickness of the Case... to name a few and quality control. The BEST are...

    Confused about New Subaru Outback oil filters..part number / numbers

    This may not be applicable to this, but my 2001 outback had 2 types of filters, one smaller than the other and when I asked the dealer he told me that the reason was Engine Bay room, one was for when there wasn't enough clearance. I hope the manual reflected that, not that the difference was...

    Installing induction cooktop as replacement

    Induction is great, but requires better quality pans as the whole bottom MUST be in contact with the element not to have hot-cold spots

    Nokian R5 winter tires, what is your experience?

    Nokia makes excellent winter tires, but the Hakkapeliitta are a breed apart. They were developed in Finland for "Snow Covered Roads" that's where the perform the best, if you drive mostly on clear road they may not be the most suitable, if on ice they also come studded.

    I made some fabulous, home-made chicken stock with my InstantPot and Vitamix

    Sorry Ed but the "Cement Mixer" is what I've been calling my Breville Sous-Chef 16 for the last 5 yrs:eek:;). This thing has a 25yrs warranty on the motor and weight so that one needs a Nepalese Sherpa to move it (kidding). Yes these tools are amazing in what they allow you to accomplish. I use...

    Choosing between two older Japanese luxury cars?

    Both GOOD Vehicles, but the LS350 is not only cosmetically better there are mechanical things (improvements) that the Avalon may not have, also 2,000 less miles. IMO the $2K difference is worth it.

    No kidding! Here's the breakdown for mine at the dealer ca$85 each Kit ca$20 TTL ca$105 each + tax At the indie Tire dealer ca$60 each (no Kit available) + tax Have NO idea of the make at the indie and IF one fails the R&R cost would kill any savings. Sometime you have to swallow and it's not...
