I've got a 2015 MKC 2.3l that's been pretty flawless. In at 74k miles now and very recently noticed a slight judder when the auto trans shifts. Doesn't seem to be limited to one gear or during cold but it's not constant. Just seems to happen periodically when the trans shifts. Fluid's never been...

Behold my 2002 Honda CR-V. The first new car my wife and I purchased, we bought it anticipating family additions ahead. Since my car was in the poorest condition at the time (94 Probe SE), we traded it. I drove the V daily for 9 months as my highway commuter, wracking up 30,000+ miles in that...

Well fudge... I had an earlier thread on a CEL related to my o2 sensors/catalytic converter here: http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=184619&Number=2781610 But the problem has blossomed. Long story short, I replaced my converter and o2 sensors back in October...

Hey I have a Scangauge II that I used to keep on my 9-5 when it was my daily driver and I was trying to hypermile. Anywho, now I mainly just use it as my OBD 2 reader/resetter. While it works great on my 10 year old CR-V for things like o2 sensors, both times I've had a code pop up on my 09...

Just curious, on my old CR-V, I've got the old P0240 CEL for cat/front o2 sensor/whatever. I replaced the cat about 3-4 years ago but did so w/ a cheap aftermarket model. I've gone ahead and ordered new front and rear o2 sensors and Magnaflo replacement cat (a step up from what I bought before)...

I am having a heck of a time cleaning my Odyssey's wheels. I've used the Mother's brand wheel cleaner and tried microfiber towels, brushes, sponges, etc. But I cannot get the brake dust-y crud out of the little corners. Anyone have a wonder cleaner or tool I'm missing?

I was stocking up on supplies at Rock Auto and saw they have my Hondas' filters for $1.64. I only see random mention on here about how they are basic, fleet, commercial, yada, yada. Anyone cut one open?

There's been a topic or two on the old stashes around here and mine's come up once or twice. Figured I'd show off the glory days...aka Sept 2006 and what the same stash looks like after whittling it down over the years. Back then I had a SAAB 9-5 that was known for sludging so I did lots of 5000...

I know it's been asked and I even asked it three years ago myself but I'm wondering what the current best leather cleaner is? I just got another Honda w/ a leather steering wheel and it's a pet peeve totry and keep them from getting oily/shiny. I did a good job on my Fit just using wet wipes...

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/.../1#.T61uiVLZh8E Carroll Hall Shelby, the Texan who created the famous Shelby Cobra and uncounted other high-performance machines that turned the auto world on its ear, and made it a whole lot more fun for 50 years, died in Dallas Thursday night at age...

Well, I don't post here much anymore since the dark days of my 01 SAAB 9-5 are well behind me. But long story short, I've been driving a Honda Fit since May 2009. Great little car but I just found it harder and harder to live with its shortcomings. The interior was loud and after driving two...

A step up! No more center-mount gauges! http://blog.caranddriver.com/2012-toyota-yaris-previewed-by-new-japanese-market-vitz/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+caranddriver%2Fblog+%28Car+and+Driver+Blog%29&utm_content=My+Yahoo

So I was just posting in another forum in response to someone's concerns over oil loss. In a 4.4 qt capacity system, they are losing 1 quart over 6k miles. Granted, my experience w/ the same car is 0 loss over 10k+ miles (the Fit). But I made the mistake of saying 1 quart over that duration is...

Anyone have a brand/model they've had good experience with? I used to own a Prestone-labeled one when they first got popular a bit over ten years ago. I can't remember much about it, though, other than it wasn't spectacular. I've been much more observant of car maintenance since then so I've...

Some of you may remember my thread about buying my 09 Fit. A few who read that might remember I sat out to buy an Insight b/c of the "low price" only to find out that you had to buy a top of the line EX to even get cruise control. So, instead of paying $23k for an Insight, I paid $17k for a Fit...

I've been going crazy b/c one of my main responsibilities in my job I transferred to in January is to revise some 5 year planning documents. Sadly, in the 2 years that it took to fill my position, my predecessor's computer crashed and the documents in question now only exist in .pdf form. When I...

The wifey's iPhone 3G has been fritzy lately. Don't know what's up. She just started using it as an iPod recently and noticed that afterward, she couldn't dial out without restarting. Second, she's noticed that lately on FB she gets a weird set of chracters on some people's status updates. It's...
