I’m running 25w40 full marine synthetic in a 2010 Cobalt with extreme fuel dillusion for summer use. Just a lot quieter is the only thing I notice

Usually they have charging when marked that way. I’ve always told places that want to put them in to put the as far in the back as possible so only people that really need to charge are in them. Sadly they usually locate “clean vehicle” spots up front so you can never actually use the things

Oddly I was finding them as low as $23k new The cheapest R/Ts are slowly getting more expensive (which is odd honestly considering they don’t sell)

These have a specific defect that they “stall “ when they aren’t supposed to shut off the engine. Being a mild hybrid the engine needs to spin while you are moving. This is usually during braking when the motor is supposed to keep spinning to recharge the battery When the engine stalls it’s...

These 2.4 hybrids seem to be abundantly available for $1500 or so but many have issues with stalling at stops and high miles -150k+. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/2013-malibu-eco-225k-no-ac-winter-beater.389078/#post-7059471 They usually say they need a new hybrid alternator. How...

I had this issue and installed the cheapest LED universal bulbs I could find from hd they were said to work with both types of ballast. They work fine with mediocre ballasts, the expensive ones Feit are noisy.

Requires a boot, which only you can do, tire is then out of balance my guess if you pull out the metal you might find only a small area punctured while the tread itself is damaged.

In the case of the mirage it’s because the cvt is sized for a larger car so it survives a little better. Mitsu from what I remember prices their cvts differently than Nissan. For whatever reason the cheapest, least reliable transmission in the industry also costs the most retail which royally...

I would buy stick mirages any day Not any more, Rivian bought the normal plant

I’m discouraged they don’t ban vinyl and re-refine plastic into diesel fuel

If they had this or lifetime warranty on the Dodge Hornets in inventory I would buy a PHEV example for “local driving” only

It’s unfortunate that the petrol dollar reserve currency requires us to import crude and always use some imported crude regardless of our own production levels to maintain stability. There is of all things a Nixon documentary that explains how we snubbed nuclear and made agreements during the...

Found nothing to replace, nothing to lube. Just cleaned it up and it hasn’t screeched since. By how it sounds these unitized things you just run them screeching away until they fail because nothing can have maintenance or repairs done

The bead was easily cleaned up surface rust on the rest is a big pain, I did my best, tempted to just phos it up with spray on rust converted and encapsulating paint.

I have 3 within 2.5 hours of me. Definitely not worth the cost of entry.

Wisconsin only has 3 Costco locations that count and are accessible to me closest a miniature Costco being 105 miles away. The other 8 costcos in state are distant but are all within walking distance of each other similar to Kwik trip in a part of the state that doesn’t really count as being...

Hmm 45 minutes for cloudfare validation

I don’t normally post things like this but this is at least the 3rd time involving BYD and a ship. https://www.theregister.com/AMP/2025/06/11/ship_electric_fire/ Things like this can happen to any ship Carrying cars but it appears to be “quite rare” involving western, especially US based...

I got a junk panel that was manufactured in 1982, still works, lower output but yeah eventually things break

Used to be places that sold pallets of broken panels for consumers to play with, broken panels sometimes still output 95% of rating
