    AEM dryflow, intake coated in fine dirt

    I live in the SoCal high desert and have 3 vehicles on AEM Dry Flows. My '18 Honda Civic and '19 Honda Ridgeline are on factory intake drop in style filters, and my 2005 Nissan Titan has a Volant CAI with a cone filter. No issues whatsoever with any of them, and the Titan is my work truck and...

    2017+ Honda Ridgeline owners?

    I recently bought a 2019 Ridgeline Sport with 9k on the odometer and a bed and tow hitch that both look brand new. It was a one owner lease return and was leased one month before the planet shut down, and retuned 10 months later. Anyway, it is absolutely the right tool for the job that I need...

    4 New Conti DWSs, Car Now Pulls Hard To The Right

    Yep, I'm in SoCal, and I got 41K out of my last set of UHP summer tires (Kumho SPT), so it's not out of the question that the S.drives can repeat those results. I drove all weekend, and the Yok's feel great.

    4 New Conti DWSs, Car Now Pulls Hard To The Right

    Update: America's Tire Co installed 4 225/40/18 Yokohama S.drives today, and my car tracks like its on rails. No fade, no wander, no tram-lining on SoCal's grooved freeways. I don't know what the problem was with the DWS's, but I am happy that America's Tire Co. treated me so...

    4 New Conti DWSs, Car Now Pulls Hard To The Right

    My neighbor told me that he had a "radial pull" on a brand new set of Rikens. He said the shop changed out 1 tire at a time untill the pull was gone. He said it was the 3 tire. I'm glad Americas Tire didn't make me go through all of that!

    4 New Conti DWSs, Car Now Pulls Hard To The Right

    Yea, that's what I'm thinking too! I was very happy with my SPT's, but I wanted to try the DWS's because of the good reviews...........I should of just stayed with the Kumhos! I hope the Yokohama S-Drives are as good as the SPT's.

    4 New Conti DWSs, Car Now Pulls Hard To The Right

    I had 4 Conti Extreme DWS, 225/40/18 installed this morning, and the car now pulls hard to the right. I had them swap the tire's/wheels location 3 times, rebalance, double check psi to no avail. I then headed over to the alignment shop for a four wheel alignment. The shop said my car was...

    Who Changes Their Oil Cold?

    My goodness, Mobil1 AFE 0w-30 is LOUD!!!

    All 3 of my vehicles are now on Castrol Edge, 5w-20 (Honda & Mazda) and Edge 5w-30 (Dakota R/T). All 3 engines are the quietest they have ever been. Good, bad? I don't know, but I like the way they sound and feel as the tack needle heads to the red mark.

    Need help: MAZDA ATF M-III or Motorcraft Mercon-V

    I have a 2006 Mazda3 2.3, 5-speed ATX. It has had, Valvoline Mercon V in it for about 10k, then Royal Purple Max ATF for another 10-15K, and currently has Castrol Import Multi Vehicle in it for the last 28k miles. All fluids worked great, with the Castrol IMV providing the best overall...

    Just had to remove FRAM XG4967!

    It was more likely the muffler bearings weren't up to operating temp.

    Just had to remove FRAM XG4967!

    Weird? All of the Fram XG's that I have used, have given my vehicles a super powerful, warm engine. I estimate the Fram XG gives me 10 RWHP.
