Mobil 1. It's readily available at nearly every store so if I need to pick up a quart, I can.

My '99 Civic in sig... Out: 5w30 M1HM, 8,000 miles, Fram Ultra filter left on In: 0w30 M1 AFE, Fram Ultra filter will stay for the next 8k

It's about time for some new pads for my daily driver '99 Civic. I've been using the Akebono ProACT ceramic pads and have no complaints but saw that there is a "performance" pads available. Looking at a comparison, the performance pads are rated as the better stopping power pad but trades off...

7k miles is nothing, especially if that's on highway miles. 15 months is sort of no consequence. I wouldn't sweat it.

The only vehicles of mine that I ever need to add oil to is my '99 Civic. I buy the 5 quart jugs and it takes 3.5 quarts so I have an extra 1.5 quarts left which usually gets added during the 6-7k intervals. If it's low, I just add it, regardless of when the next change is. If I'm taking the...

I had these on my Civic for a little over a year before one went out. Considering how much of a pain it is to replace them (for me, I have big hands), I went back to OEM bulbs. I didn't see any noticeable difference with them vs. OEM bulbs anyways.

I used to blindly buy into the hype that orange cans were all time bombs waiting to happen however for all the cars on the road that use them, they wouldn't be allowed to exist if that were true. I use Fram Ultras on all the vehicles that I service now. They're great.

Hi All, I bought a pair of Weathertech window deflectors for my '99 Civic a while back so that I could crack the windows during the rain and not get rained on however the passenger side was just too "tight" when it get near closing. The window motor would just make a low groaning noise like it...

Same here. Picked up a TG for my father's Saturn and an XG for girlfriend's Mustang and the pricing here reflects what you said.

I'd prefer to do maintenance doses and used to do so with Redline's fuel cleaner but darn it if those bottles don't get all nasty and gummy due to spillage.

Slightly off-topic, but fan speed shouldn't matter to the AC system, correct? Whether I have the fan speed at the lowest setting or highest setting, the AC system works the same, right?

I've generally just replaced them every other coolant flush and the last few times every coolant flush. Only issue I've ever had was one seemingly getting stuck after the car had sat for almost 5 months. Took it for a long drive and the temp gauge got close to overheating. Very next day when I...

Two out of my three cars have (easily) replaceable fuel filters. It's not very hard to replace nor expensive so for peace of mind, I usually go 50k on them and replace. A little sooner on the Civic as it's right there in the engine bay.

When I check, I always check cold in the morning.

Old PYB...OPYB. "Who's down with OPYB?"

Thanks for the updates on this tire. I just picked them up last week thanks to the $125 rebate thru America's Tire. Took them for a long trip this weekend to "break" them in, can't wait for the rain to test them out.
