    Amsoil - Good for Honda?

    I run Amsoil sig series red bottle trans fluid in a 06 Honda Odyssey and 07 Honda Accord 4cyl for the last 17 years. I am pleased with the performance, slightly quicker and firmer shifts, which I kinda like and hopefully adds to longevity. The Odyssey has 218,000 miles on it and the Accord...

    Neighbor’s Cruze sounds awful. What is it?

    My guess, timing chain guide failed and chain is flopping around. And valve timing off as well.

    For those who over maintain their cars, just wanted to offer another viewpoint.

    I have a ‘06 Odyssey myself, bought new and I am at 218,000 miles. I feel as though I am on top of my maintenance, but apparently not well enough as this vehicle needed more frequent oil changes than I provided. When I pulled the valve covers at 160,000 miles to do the valve adjustments, it was...

    For those who over maintain their cars, just wanted to offer another viewpoint.

    But maybe, if you didn’t do all that maintenance… 1. It would not have made it to 185,000 2. It would not have been running as good as it was for the later years 3. You wouldn’t get as much money for it when you sold it or maybe it wouldn’t sell at all Yes so many factors to consider

    Mopars at Carlisle

    Been there many times. The weather for me can be the deciding factor. Saturday if you like it more crowded and more action, Friday has less people, and quieter. Also the program of events can be viewed on carsatcarlisle.com

    HPL premium plus vs Euro

    I am weighing the advantages and disadvantages regarding comparing the 5w-30 NO VII to the 5w-30 Plus Premium Passenger oil for a 1gr-fe in 18 4Runner. Also open to suggestions of other oils in the HPL lineup. I am looking for best timing chain wear protection and being friendly to seals...

    2001 Dodge Ram 1500 3.9L - Question on Spark Plugs

    Platinums caused pinging issues on my 5.9 magnum in my 97 Ram. Runs better with the OEM standard champions and can now run a lower octane fuel. Only downside is they don’t last as long.

    Overfilling by 0.5 qt - ‘17 Miata

    Idea. Possible perform oil change at a different angle and more may drain out. My ‘07 Accord 1/2 qt more drains out with the front up on ramps with an additional +1.5 degree due to an inclined driveway, compared to draining on a lift that is level.

    Overfilling by 0.5 qt - ‘17 Miata

    I would not purposely overfill it. Not worth the risk of extra oil in PCV system or extra that could introduce early oil leaks or possibly oil hitting the crankshaft and frothing the oil. Put the extra 1/2 qt on the shelf to add as needed. If no adding is needed, it will accumulate to another...

    Piston slap after 1,000 miles of brake in oil change

    I hope! I have a few engines with cold piston slap, but all are quiet when hot. So fingers crossed! They are not getting noisier. LS6 1GR-FE K24A8 On the pickler's ES350, depends how bad it sounds. Listen to others. May be normal.
