The ( what ) susceptible? More, or less? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I never tested oil for foaming properties at different temperatures. That said, at higher temperatures, the oil thins considerably, and that should allow air bubbles within the oil to migrate upward and also...

If you do a total refresh of all thats required under the hood, replace the radiator if it is more than 12 years old. Aluminum core radiators are sealed to the tanks by using a rubber gasket between the two. After 12 years that gasket can fail.

I forgot to add, clean the intake air sensors with the proper cleaner. Btw, rebuilt starters are nowear near as reliable as one that was working and refreshed with a good cleaning, new brushes, and lightly lubed in the right areas with a proper grease.

My laundry list for renewing a good high mileage vehicle is fairly long. Sparkplugs ( Rock Auto double iridium ngk and use a torque wrench to tighten them ). Waterpump, thermostat, hoses and coolant. ( Do not flush with chemicals or even water, that introduces ions that cause rust. Just drain...

When I did multiple drain and fills with about 1 K miles between them 3 in total starting around 25 K miles on my 2016 CR-V AWD with CVT trany it likely was overkill. It did not hurt anything as far as I can tell, except my wallet. Later I learned that friction surfaces be it clutches of an...

Having worked just a little bit with mu metal shielding to re-direct RF, one thing I learned is the effectiveness of protection varies widely. Optimally, you require metal to be a complete enclosure with no air gaps at all. But that alone usually will not provide enough shield in many...

In my 2nd Colledge chemistry, course section on metals interacting, the handout the elderly chemistry teacher with industrial experience handed out, had one at the top of the list of electrochemical positivitely or negativity, and the other at the bottom of that list, making them have the...

Copper in pennies might help, but do not let them touch the a aluminum of the ac evaporator or heater core. Try to distance them from those items. While evaporator may be made of copper pipe and aluminum fins, when used in combination like that, it is without moisture getting between them...

There use to be a saying " To really mess things up, you need a computer. " It looks like we need a modern version of that old saying: I saw this on my TV screen today on the YouTube main page of YT videos to select to watch, and knowing many of these YT videos now days are ai generated, and...
