    Best oil for old K24?

    Hey guys, I have over 250k on the Honda, been using dealer synthetic, but the timing chain area has a slow leak as their last inspection pointed out to me. No puddles of oil on the driveway, however. I have read using regular dino oil would help, or maybe a different viscosity.

    2023 VW Jetta Sport

    Hey guys, picked this up a few weeks ago wanted to share. My first VW or Euro car for that matter. Drives buttery smooth and the 1.5 engine picks up speed deceptively fast. I’m breaking her in before I test things like the XDS electronic diff. The 2022 models I looked at had a credit for...

    Picked up an Element

    Hey guys, found this one owner Element EX AWD with side airbag option in my neighborhood while riding the bike recently. Seems like a fair price for $1200. Pros: no rust, cold a/c; no hitch (presumably no hauling), trans shifts good, K24 still smooth with 233k, great stock stereo Cons: Needs...

I went to the dealer last week, and they did a Roadforce balance and moved the tire to the rear. This was their fix, but of course now the vibration is...

    Discount Tire snapped off my wheel stud

    I went in for a rotation/balance and when I got my car back, I was told what happened. They cross threaded the lug nut and of course it was at closing time. They gave me a repair voucher for a Tuffy down the street that was also closed. I have never had this happen before, but will take it easy...
