That’s really impressive. Older ICE vehicles would develop problems when engine blocks and radiators were made of dissimilar metals separated by aging, acidic coolant (the effect of a battery). I’m assuming that the heat exchanger and drive unit are both made of aluminum on the Leaf.

What does the maintenance minder tell you to do?

If you already know who you are, how can you find that person to be interesting? I’m enamored by chameleon-like people who seem normal and then surprise you. I once met a mechanic who would talk to his tools when he was in a tight spot. Now that’s interesting!

Their high-revving nature. VTEC yo.

Rounded off clutch teeth on the synchronizer assembly can cause those symptoms. Other possible culprits include shift linkage problems or worn motor and transmission mounts that affect shift linkage operation.

How do you pronounce the name of this product?

There was a member here with an old Focus who pushed his intervals well beyond 10k miles (using HDEO) with acceptable oil analysis results. The Olm in your vehicle was calibrated for a basic, API-certified oil from that era. Obtaining periodic lab results from your sump samples is the only way...

I was going off of the list of owner’s complaints filed with NHTSA for my vehicle. There was a recall for a power steering hose that can leak. These problems are related to the construction of components within the power steering system and not the fluid itself.

There are aftermarket alternatives that are recommended for use in Honda and Acura vehicles. I looked up a list of complaints for my vehicle by performing a web search and discovered that there were potential issues with steering racks and power steering pumps. I believe that these problems...
