good morning! Just had a nice local mechanic do all four tires. Subaru Forester. He said he likes "middle of the road" tires, like General and Firestone. He did all four, balance, etc for about $800 I think that is a good price, do you? Is there any need for me to pay more for Michelin? I...

fantastic: THANK you for telling me the silicon is OK Javier: this from someone:Please note that the SH-AWD rear differential has some hydraulic circuitry in there together with a small electric pump, wood: I wanted to test the oil by sample, NOT by changing it to see if I had a lot, or any...

new RDX had factory fill replaced with Mobil 1 0W20 at 5000 miles. Here is 2000 miles sample oil analyzers. RDX is turbo, direct injection I think. tin 2ppm silicon 63 ppm base number 3.10 mg KOH/gram Oil analyzers said check air induction. silicon at significant level. base number slightly low...

good morning! OK,, have a new RDX. changed out the factory oil at 5,000 miles. now 7,000 miles. code B6 came up that seems like rear differential fluid. Is that pretty early? should I do it? I AM going to keep this car long term. have a great day! thanks. bob

THANK YOU EVERYONE! I have no ego about this, and I AM here to learn. from all your comments, I think: 1. I am being safe and conservative with oil changes. Next, I will run the Mobil 1 I just put in LONGER, and test. maybe I can test oil without changing, like use a pump. No one is worried...

THANK YOU ALL! I dug out a blackstone report from 2014. 2700 miles on mobil 1 0W20. cSt at 100 degrees C was 7.62 fuel under 0.5% flashpoint 400 degrees. TBN 3.4 I do have a science background, BUT in molecular. biology. I know something about data, but NOTHING about oil chemistry nor mechanical...

THANK YOU thastinger and fantastic! OK, the ENTIRE life of that car, 11 years, has been short trips. wife was a teacher in our same town. I DID do tons of Mobil 1 oil changes, about 5000 miles each, did timing belt twice, trans fluid, etc etc etc. dumb questions: 1. what should the iron be...

THANK YOU EVERYONE! for your great help. as usual, daughter's Forester. OK,Honda dealer said it is time for tires. I read about tires. the tire says DOT PE 22916 I THINK that means the tire was made in 2016. Is that true? car is 2017, likely original tires. I want to replace them. any...

THANK YOU EVERYONE. JTK: How do you do rustproofing? which product? Live in Mass. lots of salt on roads to all: Yes, I did totally replace the brake fluid. Yes, Honda DID fix the heat shields. Those failed on my old Lexus. sounds like I should do differential, and coolant. car sits outside for...

THANKS to everyone. OK, Subaru Forester is 2017 with 40,000 original miles. Honda dealer, whom I like, did oil change, total inspection. They found the brake fluid to be black, and low. Considering my daughter's approach, that is likely the original brake fluid! brakes are ok, I did them total...

THANK YOU EVERYONE!! car is driving ok, it must last a long time for my daughter. best regards, bob

Hi! My daughter's car likely needs work, which she does NOT do! 2017 Forester with around 40,000 original miles, she got it new. One year ago I replaced all pads and brake rotors, air filters, change oil, which was drastically needed. This was done a 33,000 miles. Today's dumb questions: 1.I...

thank you slack tide! OK, if I change oil every 5,000 miles, is that enough to limit fuel dilution in the oil? do i need to add techron or other gas additive? Why use 5w30? someone else suggested that. Why would I go against the engineers at Acura who say 0w20? why do we know something they...

good afternoon! I am original owner of 2020 RDX. 18,000 original miles. will do more stop and go driving since daughter moved in. 1. I have changed oil, Mobil 1 synthetic, every 5000 miles. Is that enough? I am aware that direct inject engines, mine is also turbo I think, can put fuel into the...
