    sauna or hot-tub; for aches and pains

    I don’t want this to sound disrespectful and trust me, I don’t mean it that way. Things don’t get any easier as we age. Unless you have some physical disability(s), join a health club. Workout those aches & pains and use their facilities.

    2019 Hyundai Santa Fe - Rear shocks - OEM or KYB

    For $14 more per shock, I'd stay with OE. Do you know why your shock is leaking? Did you overload the back end or hit too many potholes/sewer drains/manhole covers?... too often? You don't have to tell ! Maybe it was just bad luck !

    Quaker State Defy 5W-30

    I used it years ago and thought it was quite good. It is a high mileage type of oil that does slow down some leaks and I thought it also made my engine very quiet.

    Is Hybrid Oil Worth it For Super Low Mileage Cars?

    I think that SuperTech filters are quite good and there are several threads(I’m not searching for them) that have been cut open, brand new & used. There is also WhipCityWrenchers on YouTube that have cut open ST filters and they show to be just fine. Are they Top of the Line? No, but good just...

    Honda 15400-plm-a02 on Mazda 3

    NAPA Gold has always been a good filter and most likely you can never go wrong with them. There is a recent thread on them along with some linked YouTube videos. Watch both videos. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/napa-dumping-wix-as-supplier.396622/#post-7273671

    2025 JD Power Initial Quality Study

    The new Tundra and possibly the new Tacoma truck engines are killing Toyota. Take the trucks out of the equation and Toyota would be higher. Nissan/JATCO CVT's have killed Nissan's reliability over the years. Lately, JATCO trannies have gotten better, bringing up the company's score. As...

    Honda 15400-plm-a02 on Mazda 3

    Walmart has the FRAM Ultra Synthetic 7317 for around $9/ea and their own SuperTech filters for around $5/ea. And they’re quite good filters for the price and identical to most AC filters. Many auto parts stores have FRAM filters at much higher prices

    Honda 15400-plm-a02 on Mazda 3

    You have to judge the dollar value for yourself. When the dealer Honda *****02 filter and the FRAM TG we’re both cut open from multiple organizations/YouTubers/oil filter testing websites, they’re the same filter. I’ve even done it myself with my personal Hondas and I can confirm this from my...

    Honda 15400-plm-a02 on Mazda 3

    Yes, you can use a HONDA oil filter if the app is the same for both engines. If you can get the HONDA filters on the cheap, sure why not! However, just know that the HONDA dealer oil filters are not the same as the filters that are put on the engine from the factory. The dealer oil filters...

    Is is worth it? Yes! There are many options for a washer. Aluminum, Copper, Nylon. If you prefer to replace the washer with each oil change, you can buy a whole bag of them for CHEAP! They sell the washers in single/one piece or as many as 30 pc...You choose!

    MAG 1 conventional oil

    MAG1 has always been a good oil in conventional or synthetic and formulated by known good blenders. They may have something proprietary in their oil but I wouldn’t say that it’s any better than other good known oils out there. You have to read into their claims. https://mag1.com/...
