I ended up getting two free sets of Duralast Gold Pads. I can’t say I’m a fan but they are better than what was on there, don’t make noise despite this being a pad slap but do put out a lot of dust.

General are usually a bargain compared to Michelin especially when rebates are offered. I’ve had good luck with the GMax AS05 which are more performance oriented but offer less tread life. I’ve had good service out of them on a Q50. Some years ago I’ve also liked Cooper CS5 tires which served...

General Altimax RT43. Have had them on a RX350 and Forester. Did very well at whatever was thrown their way.

Use genuine Subaru cvt fluid. The drain and fill is a bit more complicated and requires a pump to pump new fluid in. Subaru wants it checked at a certain temperature also but you can probably get away with measuring the amount that came out and put back in the same amount. I did this on our...

I’ve done back to back drains (maybe 10 miles in between each) before without much harm on transmissions of vehicles that I know history of. Knowing what I know now, I’d probably space out the drains and put some miles in between. This is to allow new atf fluid, which is an excellent cleaner, to...

The original brakes on ours lasted 59k miles before being replaced with these aftermarket pads by the original owner.

How are you liking the Advics pads? I’ve installed Advics pads on a 2015 MDX before and was not satisfied. They were dusty and had less bite than OEM.

I’ve used Akebono ProACT pads in multiple applications before. Even though the brakes have always been silent after install, I’ve noticed less in bite on them from OEM in most applications I have used them in. They will stop the car and produce smooth stops but required more pedal effort. I did...

The above vehicle was bought a year ago from the original owner. The previous owner had the front and rear brakes replaced at an auto repair shop that used unknown brake components. The vehicle stops with no shakes, but to me, it doesn’t have enough bite. I was thinking of replacing just the...

Cool van. You don’t see a lot of them often in good shape. If this is a show winner and you don’t mind investing into it, perhaps a BBK in the front with larger calipers and converting the rear drums to a disc set up or try stainless steel brake lines and see if they firm things up.

I’m not sure about the website you’re inquiring about but your asking price seems fairly fair on todays market. With low mileage, inexpensive parts and pretty decent reliability it’s hard to get much better these days. List it on Craigslist and Facebook and you’ll get hits. Wagons are becoming...

Solid truck for your needs. I’ve scored a GMT400 K1500 w/ 350 V8, Ext Cab, Long Bed 5 years back and have been happy. Parts are inexpensive and they do what they are suppose to. Your setup is pretty basic, not much to break on it so it should last a good while until the rust starts eating away...

The vehicle will be put up for sale within a week as a replacement was bought. Wanted to fix it right if it’s not too expensive. If it truly is expensive to replace, the shade will come off and it will be a permanent panoramic glass roof. I certainly hope it can be fixed properly though by a...

Today I went to close the sunshade, heard a weird crack while it was closing and then the sunroof shade fell on me. How can this be fixed? I took a photo of both sides of the metal bar it’s attached to. One has a clip with a spring inside and the other side is empty. Not sure if something needs...

Thank you

Hi, I’m looking at doing all the fluids, spark plugs, fuel filter and maybe other things that are needed as I dig in. Can anyone recommend what fluids need to be used in these? Looking at replacing the power steering, transmission, transfer case, both differentials, coolant and brake fluid...

Hi, Will be looking at this car tomorrow being sold by the original owner with 45k miles on it. Any trouble spots with these? I noticed the gas mileage seems a bit low with a rating of 22mpg highway.

I just replaced these on my friends 2018 Sienna that has the same 2GR-FSE engine at 115k miles and they looked like they can go another 30k with no issues.

Yep, it’s pretty good.

I did. Mowed with it for the first time several days ago.
