Common misconception double tapping isn't against code out right. It is allowed if the connector is listed for it. Off hand I think all Square D breakers are listed for landing two wires. Although those connectors to not look like they are the type that is listed for such use. I left it alone...

Use what you want but my thoughts are since Honda automatics are unique in construction, as in they aren't using planetary gears like all other units. Honda engineers made a fluid with a very unique formulation most notably the very high levels of zinc in the fluid. There are other differences...

If it's a Honda use Honda fluid. Honda ATF DW1 has a boat load of zinc in it. Nearly double or triple anything else. There is a reason Honda engineers put that much zinc in their ATF. Honda transmissions are unique in design as they make their own transmissions.

Maybe but I have no intent to sell them. They will be sold for scrap when I'm done with them as thats all they will be worth.

Yeah I agree people find patterns even where they dont exist, looking at you vaccines cause autism people. If one were to switch to a thicker oil and then three or more months later to notice let's say some timing chain rattle. One might say well look at what the thick oil did. Instead of I'm...

1995 Ford Ranger I bought from my uncle when I was in highschool. It was his farm truck for many years so it did loads of low speed driving with short run times, so despite being fairly low milage it was pretty worn out. I spent many weekends from the age of 16 to 18 working on that truck. Sold...

You can get the engine warm. Shut it off then fill the crank case/entire engine full of kerosene or diesel let it sit for and hour drain the oil/deisel. Fill it with an inexpensive oil and put on a new filter. Run it for 10 minutes and do another oil change. Cured an oil burning Honda R18 doing...

It's a Jeep so honestly youre just about better off not bothering to change the oil. Not like the engine will last either way hahahaha. Sorry had to jab at modern Jeeps. Yeah going thicker won't hurt.

That is an absolute abortion. That exposed UF cable is not code compliant. I'd have to check code on that service disconnect but I'm not sure it's needed. Please dont go to that guy ever again for anything. This work is distressing.

When it was designed pretty much all engines had belt driven timing sets. The J series has just survived for 30 years because it's a really good design.

To chime in as well Max Life is fine. Its a solid fluid that can work well in many applications. It isn't a one size fits all answer. Some transmissions need high levels of friction modifiers that Max Life doesn't have. ATF is a complex fluid that is tasked with many things. I know Honda...

2010 Honda Civic 5k OCI Supertech 5w30 Fram Ultra Synthetic 2013 Honda CRV 5k OCI Supertech 5w30 Fram Ultra Synthetic Done on the same day it was pure coincidence it worked out that way.

Unless the water in the block used to flush is distilled my advice would be to run 50/50 mix of whatever coolant you choose. Run it for about 2 hours. Then drain and fill with the coolant you will use. Then no mineral laden water in the block. No guessing if you have the right mix, and still not...

Klein lineman's pliers bought by my father when he started out in the trade in the 80's.

Okay my bad I will take you at your word probably confusing engines and manufacturers.

I agree it's cheap insurance. You buy insurance with the goal of never needing it. This is one of those cases go a bit thicker for that insurance that ideally you never actually need. Now if you drive hard all the time. You absolutely need the increased viscosity. Such as cars spec'd for 0w-40...

Just do the valve adjustment yourself. It's really easy. I also recommend not putting it off. As Echaust valves get tighter over time on Honda engines, and a tight valve will destroy your engine. As it will burn up the valve and tight valves dont make noise.

How do you quantify that? When you expect him to die pretty soon anyway. It's cold and harsh but it's just the numbers.

Mathematically it's the Law of Large Numbers.

You know what my bad. I got defensive I shouldn't have and I apologize for that. Thank you for clarifying.
