    1991 Jaguar XJ6 4.0L - Battery Venting

    The vehicle comes equipped with a vent tube for the battery from the factory, but it was not connected, the elbow is missing, should I install one on the new replacement battery? I'm not a Jaguar expert and the battery is under the hood near the engine, why a factory vent? It's not as if the...

    Hyundai 2.4L MPI

    I'm looking at buying a vehicle that has the above mentioned engine. It was replaced 80k miles ago under a recall, will it suffer the same fate? Or were the replacement engines an updated version when installed in 2021? I don't want to buy a ticking time bomb, the Canadian extended warranty has...

    Carquest 84356 11mos/12.5k Miles

    This filter was donated by @Jimmy9190 , so I figured I would through it's paces on a 2014 CRV 2.4L, and post the results here for educational purposes. I'm impressed! It was still more than half full after leaving it to drain overnight. Thank you @Jimmy9190 !

    NAPA ProSelect 21358

    One of these filters came off my EJ253 after a winter run of only 5k Kms, the other is off an unknown vehicle that I regularly service, at regular intervals, or I would have put both aside, for a C&P with more data. Mine was set aside to drain overnight so that I could do C&P and someone threw...

    Prime Guard 4610 From 2019/2020 Cut Open

    It came off the Legacy that I recently bought. The ADBV was really stiff, which makes sense due to the location of this filter.

    DL7317 Cut Open w/15% Remaining On MM

    The PH7317 thread inspired me to cut open a DL7317 that was on our Honda since 2019. It accumulated a minimum of 7k kilometers with the MM down to 15%. The Parker ADBV was still flexible and it held a fair bit of oil after draining overnight. I left it to drain again overnight and will take...

    This is going to be my new DD. I've never owned a Subaru, so I'm looking for some advice and tips. I'm going over it to get it road worthy and so far it needs, ball joints, pads and rotors, tires, LCA bushings and the LF window won't go down. The car has been sitting for two years after the CVT...

I, on the other hand, just sold my old car and am in the market for a replacement, and am borrowing the Jeep until I find something. They offered me their...

    Parking a vehicle for at least 3 months

    Vehicle will be in an apartment building parking garage. Any suggestions? This is the first time I've had to do this.
