1999 Honda Civic EX, 243k miles Out- Unknown 5w-30 oil from local shop, Honda oil filter (4,000miles on both) In - 5w30 Maxlife blend, Fram Ultra filter

I have a '99 Civic with 248k on my original transmission. I've always used Honda ATF. Would others work? Probably, but since Honda ATF has gotten me this far, I don't see a reason to switch now.

Never. I hand tighten until I can't tighten anymore with my fingers and then use a wrench to "snug" it up just a bit when it stops. Like 5% extra once it stops, maybe even less. I don't understand why shops way over tighten them. Are they afraid the plug is going to back out, carelessness or...

Indeed, especially when the better team has such great players. It's not like it's 4 good players vs. 1 great player, it's arguably 2 great players + 2 generational players vs. 1 generational player. I think GSW continues to win for the next few season while their core is still relatively young...

I imagine some % of the people who drive with their hi-beams on are ignorant that they are blinding others. Something like "Oh, I have a bright mode. I can see better!". Automakers should have it so it turns off after x minutes and you have to click it back on. I imagine some clicked it on one...

1999 Honda Civic EX PROs: Super easy to drive, park and it's inconspicuous. CONs: Anemic power, 28 city/highway MPG is meh for a 4 cylinder.

I enjoy the little better throttle response and maybe smoother idle but have never really seen any noticeable MPG improvements.

Yeah, for sure. It's better than nothing though and saved my car this time. Really just doing what I can to make it harder for them.

Walked up to my '99 Civic that was parked in my apartment complex and noticed my glove compartment open, paperwork all over the place and glovebox open. No windows were broken though it appears they messed with the driver's side keyhole to gain entry. The brake lock that I had on appeared to be...

I'd use them more if their shipping didn't kill. So I usually use them to research the PN# I need and buy from Amazon as it's honestly cheaper.

Mother's 2004 Honda Accord V6 LX, 186K on engine OUT: 5w30 Chevron Supreme, 6K interval, Fram Ultra left on IN: 5w20 Mobil 1 HM

Apparently I slacked on my ATF fluid as it's been roughly 60k since my last change. Time flies and it felt like I just had the three drain/refill. Not sure what the change interval of old Honda Z1 was but yeah...60k on Z1 out. Still had a good red color to it. 1999 Honda Civic 238K, original...

I just pick them up when they go on sale at Costco, whatever model Michelin brand they sell. Those usually run about $10 or so.

Nah, doesn't get too cold here in NorCal to really warrant it. I'll start up, put on my seatbelt, wait for bluetooth to connect and then throw it in reverse out of the garage. I'll just take it easy on the throttle until I get to the freeway, which is a few miles away and about 5 minutes so it's...

I leave the battery in and connected when connected to the battery tender. No problems.

1996 3.8 Chevrolet Camaro OUT: 10w30 M1-HM, Fram Ultra filter, 6k miles on oil combo, 206k on engine IN: 10w30 M1-HM, Fram Ultra filter.

If it's damaged, replace. I didn't know how bad mine was until one day I noticed a loud and noticeably hard "bump" when driving over the railroad track on my way to work. At first I thought I had hit a pothole but then noticed it the next trip the next day. Looked under the car and noticed the...

The passenger side window would get 98% up and then start shaking up and down so figured it was the regulator. Yup, it was the regulator but the window was super hot too along with getting loud and slow so that was replaced too.

I've proactively replaced them in my Civic, Camaro and Jeep. Zero noticeable improvement in fuel economy or throttle response. Cleaning the throttle body yielded better SOTP difference.

That I did? I forgot to put the filler cap back on after putting in the fresh oil. Didn't realize it until a few days after when I went to check the oil level and thought "Wow, I'm so quick I already removed the...wait a minute". That someone else did? Not too bad but when I was still a...
