    The refrigerator water filter rip off.

    We have KitchenAid fridge and all it takes to 'reset' is to press and hold 'filter' button for a few moments. The replace-me-light comes on every 6 months but we don't use fridge water much so I run filter full year. Funny thing is it has 'air' filter light too but no filter.

    Three flavors only but great choices. North America will likely keep pushing 0w-20 oil while 5w-30 and 5w-40 will be welcome Worldwide.

    Brake Stop-Slip driving me crazy 2013 Kia Sportage 2.0 Turbo

    My guess is carbon buildup is loosening and as it breaks loose and floating around may be gumming up rings more, should eventually dissolve and free them up. I ran 3k miles OCIs with Valvoline Restore and Protect and changed filter half way into first OCI.

    First off, are you sure it's the brakes that make the noise? If you removed both pins at the same time to clean and lube, did you pay attention which one went where on reassembly? The rule is 'trailing' pin is the one that to have rubber bushing on its end that goes into bracket. Personally, I...

    Battery handheld air compressor

    I may be in the minority but I don't get why buy battery operated cordless one and not a wired unit running off cars 12V port. They are cheaper, don't even require engine running if car battery if strong, maintenance free.

    Battery Longevity

    From personal experience, factory installed batteries may last a long time exceeding 8-10 years, aftermarket ones vary quite a bit. I start paying attention at about 5 years and if there are signs it may fail then I replace, usually 6 years mark on average. It's not worth it getting stranded...
