2021 Subaru Forester, 65K Out: OEM Idemitsu or Eneos fill In: Valvoline synthetic with a little M1 75W-90 since I ran out and lost some to spillage. No need to go fancy, owner of this car rides a bike everywhere in SF/Oakland and only has this for work and road trips. She giggled at the sight...

I did a 60K service on a friend’s 2021 Subaru Forester. She bought most of the supplies - MicroGuard filters, O’Reilly house brand oil. I bought gear oil, wipers, and a jug of Prestone blue to top off the reservoir. She’s taking it to the dealer for an alignment and I told her to have the CVT...

LMC didn’t have anything.

I’ll keep that in mind as a last resort. I found this for the rear axle, but I have a feeling the long line between the axle and ABS modulator will snap off: https://www.sstubes.com/products/tra9531ss-95-00-gm-1500-2500-3500-2wd-truck-non-dually-rear-axle-brake-lines-stainless

I need to find brake lines for a 1992 Chevy Blazer full-size. Started to work on the rear brakes today - and saw brake fluid drip out of the fitting after installing a new wheel cylinder. The jungle store and RockAuto doesn’t have kits. The other end of the fitting is seized on. What size and...

75W-90 “synthetic”.

2021 Subaru Forester, 65K Out: O’Reilly Syntec, Wix XP filter In: O’Reilly “synthetic”, MicroGard regular filter Friend provided the parts, I just did the job. Honorable mention: 2010 Prius, in very bad shape as a taxi Topped off with Rislone. Ain’t my car, I don’t care. Trust me, I was mighty...

I usually don’t install part store pads, but I like the Duralast Elites on the Sienna.

Now that my dad’s a cabbie and his “new” Prius(2017.5 package two, equivalent to an LE now) will need pads eventually, I’m debating Toyota TCMC or Duralast Elite/PerfectStop/QuietCast(if Akebono ASP isn’t available, all of those are Bosch) for that when the time for pads rolls around. San...

Bendix === MAT Holdings. They’re similar or the same as Carquest Gold/Platinum, Duralast Gold or BrakeBest Select Ceramic/ImportDirect.

Yea, I told her to go to the dealer for a spill and fill. Not gambling. I’ll have her check back in at 120K if she still has it. This ain’t a Toyota or Lexus here.

Is Subaru CVTF-III anything special or is it an update on their CVTF-II? I may be doing a spill and fill on a 2021 Forester and may be staring at using aftermarket fluid if the dealer isn’t open. Valvoline claims their CVTF meets all the Subaru specs, but MaxLife doesn’t list CVTF-III. Castrol...

I used the Cerakote kit on a car that says outside. And it’s clouding up again.

Aye, sounds like Hertz is scrounging for revenue. If this rolls out at their Uber/Doordash hubs(usually a bigger HLE location), easy money.

It depends on which Visible(or cable company or other Verizon MVNO) plan you’re on. If you’re on the basic $25/month plan, you’re on the lowest tier along with the other Verizon pre-paid(Ultra by Verizon and Xfinity Mobile/Spectrum Mobile). If you’re on Visible Plus, you’ll be higher up the...

Corporate VPNs using IPSec won’t play nice with 5G “home” internet access. Funny enough, Verizon/AT&T/T-Mobile LTE or 5GUW(or UC on T-Mo that combines sub-6GHz and mmWave) is used as a fallback with corporate SD-WANs if the main fiber/metro Ethernet or coax goes down. It’s how NAT and routing...

The current OEM Subaru coolant from the dealer does state 2-EHA on the label and Prestone is the supplier. Prestone is now a part of Recochem. I have a jug of Prestone Platinum Asian Blue here for a friend’s 21 Forester.

You also forgot the Scion iA/US-spec Yaris iA - itself a Mazda2 and it uses a Mazda filter.

If we had an second generation Odyssey, I’ve been seeing Michelin or Conti selling a Agilis CrossClimate or VancoContact FourSeason in the 235/65R16C size that Honda specified for the non-Touring models with Pax tires or 18” wheels for the mid-cycle no-Pax refresh...

Toyota and Honda have Japanese staff at their plants - and so do their suppliers. Keep in mind, there are German-Chinese JVs too. Like I said, I wouldn’t hesitate to use a Chinese or Indian(Harley) Mahle. Many here hold Premium Guard in high regard. And they’re Chinese.
