    2008 Toyota Corolla 1zzfe top end @ 163,550 miles

    Figured it wouldn't hurt to replace the valve cover gasket the Corolla. I bought the car with 93k and now I'm over 163k. Every other summer, I run 25% mmo w/ the other 3 quarts being HDEO 15w40 as a slow clean OCI. Not sure how the inside looked when I originally bought the car, but either way I...

    Fake Denso Iridium plugs

    Pretty sure I got some fake Denso's on eBay. I installed these eBay Denso Iridum plugs about 65k ago. I recently started experiencing an occasional stumbling under light engine load/acceleration. I figured it was time to replace the valve cover gasket anyway so it was a good time to check the...

    Anyone else done with Kano Labs? They have priced me out...

    I like their products but the prices have really gotten out of hand so I am officially done with them. What are your thoughts? 4 -10 ounce cans of Silikroil for $99.99...

    Mazda CX-30 anyone?

    Never owned a Mazda before. The CX-30 has caught our eye. Perfect size for our needs and the ground clearence is decent at 8". Consumer reports seem to be very good for them. We were looking at a Subaru Crosstrek but not a fan of the Subaru CVT. This seems like a solid competitor and the overall...

    Any new Tundra hybrid owners here?

    Thinking of looking at one of these. I tow under 7k a hand full of times a year. I really don't need my F250 for what I use it for. I like the impressive torque on these engines as I run up I-70 in the CO mountains often. Heck even the base twin turbo would probably be fine. My 2008 Corolla is a...

    2019 Ford F250 6.7L OCI dilemma

    So am I nuts... My 2019 F250 has 3500 miles on the 15w40 but I just passed the 12 months so the OLM says 0% as designed. I am having a difficult time convincing myself that the oil has to be changed. I'm thinking at a minimum, change it in the spring since I might have 5k on the oil by then...

I ended up buying one any way since I had a built Anderson lower needing...

    Walmart MC 10w30 Diesel Price up 35% locally

    Diesel oil has been hard to find at the WM's near me. The other day I was buying this at $18.24 and it's now $24.48. I'm lucky to even find any 10w30 diesel in stock around me. My last OCI, I had to go with 15w40 because that's all they even had. Unfortunately I think this will get much worse...

    KTM 690 Enduro R anyone?

    I'm getting tired of the V-Strom these days. I really just want something that still has good power if I need to use the highway to get to the trails. I don't want a 450 enduro since they are very limited on fuel capacity. I'm not small at 6'1 250 so I need some power too. Does anyone have feed...

    2019 Kia - Fuel overflowing at fill up

    Happens every time I fill up. If I set the fuel lock on the pump, when it fills up I get several ounces that spill down the side of the vehicle? What's the problem?

    New 2500 6.4L Hemi - Was hoping for better...

    I was anxiously awaiting the new 8 speed transmission for the 6.4L Hemi. I was also hoping that they would adjust some parameters in the ECU to pull the hills better. Seems like Ram really missed the mark. I guess I'll keep waiting to go back to the Ram.

    KRX 1000 anyone?

    Looks pretty awesome I must say. I'll be watching the details on this as they start to hit the ground. I saw the TQ number but no HP numbers yet. I love that these will have 32" tires stock.

    2019 Kia Forte - Decent mpg...

    Wow I'm impressed. First tank of fuel and I got 41.2 mpg hand calculated. I must say I'm impressed since I have been going out of my way to get a good break in on this engine. Variable speeds and throttle, no cruise and some decent accelerations in sport mode from time to time. If I had to guess...

    Premium Guard PG4615 with 9212 miles on it (Subaru 23 psi)

    I continue to love these filters for the 23 psi specification. I went 2k over on this due to a 2500 mile trip towards the end of the OCI. I figured the highway miles are pretty easy on a car so I decided to wait until I got back to change the oil out. After all was said and done, the oil and...

    2008 Corolla CE

    A few yeas ago I sold my 2001 Corolla LE. I have always missed that car. I wanted another one and have been looking from some time now. I specifically wanted the 2003-2008 model year. Seems like Toyota has paint peeling issues on the 2003-2005 so I stumbled on the 2008. I took a chance on this...

    Help with transaxle fluid
