Max Life ATF jacked up my old Nissan Sentra F04 transmission. It never shifted right again. Shift flare, late upshifts out of low gears when cold, stuff like that.

In addition to several pieces of scrap SR71, the seller has a GI Joe and Star Wars toys.

Actually, I think he was an ME. Not positive, though.

Those Honda side shoots don't shoot very far. It's serviceable if the grass isn't very tall, and if the grass is dry. I was never happy with the results I got out of the side shoot. My experience, Honda mowers are at their best when bagging. Mulching is second best, and side shoot, marginal...

Non answer.

LOL, what maker of full size pickup trucks is going to challenge the big 3? Answer: NONE.

I say, let the market decide. Hybrids save gas. In places like California, where gas is expensive, the savings can be real. EV can save money also, if you have some place to charge at home. For people living where gas is cheap, I don't see the point of pushing high mpg vehicles down...

I've run the gambit of bleeding brakes. Vacuum bleeding (miti-vac), conventional (person pumping the brake lever), and pressure, and hands down, pressure works best. Get an adapter that fits your master cylinder, and a Motive bug sprayer pump. Some people fill the sprayer tank with brake...

You forgot the part that states..."In my opinion..."

There is no downside to R&P, other than maybe a few bucks extra. I'd use it and see what happens.

I mix 0W-20 and 5w-30 sometimes, which makes 2.5W-25. It runs great in my Civic! :D

I recently bought 4 jugs of Kirkland oil on sale for $15/5 quarts. Does this count?

As I recall, this hubbub was from 2018. That's basically forever in new motor vehicle terms...

First off, OEM's spec thin oil, and they wouldn't do that if it put your engine at risk. Second, nobody is getting denied warranty for using a thicker oil. Is it needed, in most cases NO. But if you feel better, knock yourself out. And if you run at a track day, I don't care what oil you...

I've mentioned this again and again on this forum, and NOBODY, has ever been able to provide evidence that a dealer will deny warranty based on the type of oil used. Yet, again and again and again and again (to infinity) we have people here panicking about only using the grade of oil in their...

Toyota uses 0W-16. It says so in the manual. Oil Grade: 0W-16 "oil one grade higher may be used for high speeds or extreme conditions". That's not what's installed at the factory, though.

Toyota's recommended oil is 0W-16 in that engine. That's what's installed at the factory.

Got any references to support this comment?

Assuming the oil is thick enough to avoid metal to metal contact, increasing viscosity adds no value. And I certainly hope, trust, that big motor companies like Toyota and Honda are not compromising durability for the sake of CAFE numbers. Fuel dilution is a question. Honda has put out a...

What company has the best reputation for durability? Answer: Toyota. What company specs the thinnest oil in the industry? Answer: Toyota. The "thickies" give me a chuckle. Move from a 20 to a 40 grade oil? What's the basis? Opinion. No science. "Thin oil is about "the epa" or "cafe". No...
