Oops forgot to include a photo of the ADBV. It was black nitrile.

Just completed the first OC yesterday since installing the Fumoto. No leaks observed on the valve or oil pan and no damage due to clearance issue. The plastic lever guard was still securely in place. The Fumoto made the oil change easy and mess free. I didn't need to jack up the car to get...

Good point. I didn't even think about the ICE not going 3000K. I plan to run this Valvoline Restore and Protect #2 cycle to about 4000K miles and will see how the next filter looks inside.

Ordered 5w30 High Mileage last minute yesteday for $53.99 delivered.

If the rims are black, use a black sharpie.

Placed a last minute order with Serra last night, nothing high dollar some strut and rack boots and misc clips for free shipping over $75. I thought I would try one of the other SE Toyota dealerships to avoid Serra's long queue and one I've ordered from previously Springhill Toyota also...

I like the Pro-tec PXL57356 mentioned above. Good price if you get a case from RockAuto. We have a 2011 CRV 2.4L K24 and also a 2011 Fit 1.5L. I did a filter cut here. I also like the Premium Guard PG4610 filters. You can find the Pronto version at RA or the Ecogard X4610. These are the same...

Those Ecogard X4610 filters go on sale on Scamazon from time to time. They were $2.48 for a while a few months ago. https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/ecogard-x4610-on-prime.401760/

I have a 2011 Fit 5MT since 2017. I like the taller can filters PG4610, PO4610, Ecogard X4610, and the Protec PXL57356. The cans are longer like the 7317. The recent 4612 cans are shorter. In my mind, larger can = more filtering media. I am still working through a case of the PXL57356 that I...

My store price is currently showing $29.99 through 5/3 in the Costco app, regular price was $35.99 last week. Last two seasons it was cheaper to order online shipped to home but you have to get 4 jugs at once.

I'm looking for a set of 185/65r15 for my 2007 Prius and have these Hankook Kinergy PT H737 on the radar. Besides treadwear, how is the braking and cornering on wet driving like?

A detergent with lipase is good for presoaking in hot water then wash in the hottest setting. Might need a different approach depending on conventional or synthetic motor oil or whatever new oil you had.

I followed DIY Dave's Corolla oil consumption saga. Spoiler alert: after trying various ways (i.e. B12 piston soak, Valvoline Restore and Protect, valve guides, etc) what ultimately fixed his oil consumption was replacing pistons and rings.) I did a B12 piston soak on my '11 CRV K24 that was...

Wow good eye! That was definitely a Trak Auto bin when I bought it while living in the DMV area on the east coast and moved west 20+ years ago. The drain cap still fits tightly but the cap and basket is loose and stays in place only by gravity. It's terrible but I still keep using it. The ones...

Nvmd I figured out how to edit the thread title

1 time $5 fee. You get a green plastic card and a yellow secondary for household member. Flash the card at the entrance but half the time staff won't bat an eye.
