Didn't end up with new summer tires for the 3rd gen 2013 Sienna LE FWD 235/60R17 last summer, need them this summer. Replacing RT43s. Shopping now due to rebates and to "get it done". CC2 is top of the shortlist at the moment. Summer use only in the Great Lakes area. Priorities: planted...

Odyssey has a reputation for being a premium product, using virgin lead, TPPL technology, more plates, thinner plates etc...etc... Is this all still true in 2024? I can get an EP/Deka 9AGM49 from NAPA or an Odyssey Performance ODP-AGM49 for within $10 of one another (with the Ody being slightly...

It's that time of year again - do I need new winter tires and what would I get? I have a 2011 BMW 535i X-Drive with some mods - KWv3 coilovers (modest ~1" drop in ride height), sway bars and some software stuff. For its size the handling is pretty sharp and I like a car that handles well. I'm...

I was just made aware of instant $150 rebate available through Costco, ends tomorrow. So there's a decision to make. The 2013 Sienna I take care of needs some new winter rubber. Previously used Hakka R2 SUV and R3 SUV. Driver was happy with both although the R3s didn't wear very long. Costco...

Shopping for new tires for a 3rd gen 2013 Sienna LE FWD 235/60R17 "summer use" only - already have dedicated set of winter wheels & tires so winter traction is not a factor in the decision. Currently riding on RT43s from the previous owner. We've had a few different tires on 2nd and 3rd gen...

Although prices have improved a little since the height of COVID, a Deka replacement for this battery still runs about $550-600 + tax in my market. Winter is coming, and I'm wondering if I *really* need that replacement just yet or if this is one of those cases where a well maintained AGM...

My SO has a 2013 Sienna LE. It has a slow freon leak of some kind which will need to be addressed professionally. What she usually notices is that in hotter conditions the driver's outlet air will warm up compared to passenger. A little top up (like every year or two) and it's back to running...

I guess this falls in the WWYD category. In Canada, there seems to be a major Michelin supply chain issue. I run PS4S as summer tires on my BMW F10 and my rears are nearly down to the wear bars. Mid-winter I started working on getting a pair with no luck. I "had" to put the summer tires back...

Asking in case anyone has overlapping experience with these three tires or similar offers. I know they are from different classes or categories. I've been using dedicated snow tires for decades (generally paired with dedicated UHP summers. In the 90s, all season summers). I ramble here about...

Starting fresh since similar threads I found via search are years old and things are changing fast with wifi/apps/image quality etc.... I'm in the market for a reasonable borescope / inspection camera for a DIYer. I heavily suspect I'm going to find uses for this thing that I haven't yet...

I'm looking to improve braking on a 2013 Sienna LE. Sometimes it's got 7 people and a mountain of stuff in it, sometimes it's got one occupant commuting to work. No towing. I'm in Canada, and pricing/supply chain seems vastly different here lately (no surprise). I am looking for quality...

My SO had a 2009 Sienna w/ 2GR-FE and due to minor collision causing write off just replaced it this year with a 2013 Sienna w/ 2GR-FE. Pre-me (0- ~150,000km) the old one had dealer OC's every 5,000km or so with who-know's what. It had heavy staining all over the oil filter canister, the VVTi...

Although I haven't been active here in quite a while, I've recently spent a bunch of time reading in various places including here and I'm looking for a little advice. I'm currently running a 2011 BMW 535i X-Drive (N55 engine, turbo, DI) running a stage 1 flash tune. The engine is equipped with...

Related to http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2147446#Post2147446 I'm seriously considering an AGM replacement battery in my BMW. I've read a lot of (sometimes conflicting) information on charging restrictions and whatnot for AGM batteries. My system...

I'm looking for a source for Rotella T6 in 5gal pails in the Burlington/Oakville/Mississauga area, the Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge area or the Kincardine area. The only retail sources where I've located T6 in any size (1gal only) is at PartSource or CTC stores in regions where PartSource does...

Well, it's more complicated than that. I'm sorry this is wordy but I'm trying to work out multiple problems and trying to provide lots of info and pictures. The last two batteries I've had in my BMW E39 have been Interstate MTP-93s, based on glowing recommendations from other owners. The first...

I had been wondering for a while, and now a burned out bulb has made this into a more "urgent" decision. A lot of the parts houses I use offer H7s in both "regular" and "long life". Sometimes the LL is more expensive, sometimes it is the same price. I'm generally talking about brands like Osram...

I'll try to make this long story as short as I can. The question: I have a can of R134a with leak stop, but I don't want leak stop. The instructions on cans of straight R134a say to hold it upright while dispensing. The can with leak stop says to rock the can between horizontal and vertical...

I didn't want to thread-jack the other T5 thread to insert my question, so I'm starting a new thread. Once my summer OC with Rotella T is done, and now that I've finally seen T6 on the shelves in Canada, I am planning to switch to T6 from GC for my 1998 BMW 528 for year round use (or...

Just wondering if there's any thoughts or discussion on the new P21S 100% product versus the P21S Concours product?
