    19 Subaru Impreza - CVT failed

    Wife has 2015 Accord with 168000 miles on it. I have used Redline Nonslip CVT throughout-since 15000 miles or so… Have fluid changed once a year on average and continues to do well (knock on wood)… She is a fast left-lane driver as well… I do like that you get brand new fluid in there-nearly...

    Consumer Reports : Tires vs. Potholes ...

    I went with Sport Accord Hybrid but think should have moved up to Ex-L to get better fuel economy, better protection, and less expensive tires with 17 inch tires as opposed to 19 inch. I did get the road and hazard and windshield chips warranty for 6 6 years unlimited mileage at Honda for no...

    Who's into base models?

    Sunroof/moonroof to me is why I hit annoyed at place like Hooters…if want air you get a convertible—if you want to watch women prance you go to a gentleman’s club…. Just bought accord hybrid last week and am 6’3” long torso and that stupid moonroof sunroof cuts off two-threw inches of head room...

    Who's into base models?

    My general philosophy is if the power train on the base model is same as others get the base. Just bought “base” model sport accord hybrid since has same power train as higher Trims… now in fairness I do wish had 17 in tires and not 19 in which is ridiculous for an accord

    Pennzoil Platinum HM 5W30 VOA

    I think in the evolution of high mileage oil’s the focus has gone from protecting the high mileage engine to protecting the high mileage emissions equipment.

    Accord Hybrid vs Crosstrek?

    I recently had head gasket replaced on 2012 Prius v and car died on road three weeks later. It was a rainy and foggy night and not sure if something from another vehicle somehow got underneath car to damage but needed a new vehicle-didn’t want to put more money in the Prius that has original...

They usually have redline products on a discount...

    Rotella T6 turned into jelly

    I’m trying to give up gambling for the new year, but I would bet that if you look at most of the used oil analysis for diesel engines-the most stellar and pristine oil analysis are some cars or trucks that have the emissions deleted or heavily modified… I remember MolaKule posted an article...

    2015 Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi, Red Line 0W-20, 19,000 miles

    Relating individual experience of doing a few oil analysis on the Amsoil 0W30 TSO and it protected well. But viscosity was higher than the reported starting viscosity on Amsoil’s website-which if memory serves me was like 10.1 and used oil analysis was notably higher.. I understand your...

    Lithium battery upgrade for older hybrid vehicles

    That has been an initial dilemma as the few mechanics that I have contacted who actively advertise as specialists in hybrid batteries-have thus far either supplied their own batteries like greentecauto.com and others have their own sources of batteries.. Have asked about 8 different mechanics...

    2015 Ram 1500 5.7L Hemi, Red Line 0W-20, 19,000 miles

    That is so true I run the Amsoil TSO0W 30 in my 2004 Honda Accord that had a bypass oil filter oil guard and I ran it for like 18,500 miles and it protected well but it definitely thickened out of or close to forty weight.

    Lithium battery upgrade for older hybrid vehicles

    I did contact the more practical option today-place called Greentecauto.com. They offer new reportedly improved nickel metal hybride battery for 2550 plus 150 for installation… Did ask them if they would install the lithium option and unsurprisingly they said no.. although they were aware of the...

    Lithium battery upgrade for older hybrid vehicles

    They are situated in California so would require shipping to house. Mostly positive reviews from Prius chats… main dilemma is finding place to install it… other more conservative option is going to place greentec batteries that has a fairly local garage and they install a new nickel metal hybrid...
