And yet they are too big to flow through the tolerances of a Toyota engine. Ed

I started to change the plugs on my 2008 Legacy GT. Removed the airbox and ran into some what looked like emission related bits that looked quite complicated to remove. I realized that I would need the service manual to proceed. I reinstalled the airbox and took it to my trusted, independent...

Amazon is a good source. A quick search turned up Miller's Oil, which has the proper SAE 90 for your car or your choice of SAE 30, 40, or 50 ND oils. SAE 40 overlaps the lower end of SAE 90 gear oil and SAE 50 overlaps the upper end of SAE 90 gear oil. Miller's on Amazon There are many options...

I found it interesting that the main bearing girdle has steel inserts. The top shell of the main bearing seats in the aluminum block. The bottom shell in steel. Aluminum has roughly twice the linear expansion coefficient of steel. It seems that would introduce an issue that would have to be...

Those aren't sold by Walmart. It's a third party selling and shipping. You're probably paying $10 for the filter and $12 for the free shipping. Ed

Ultimately that should fall on the poster. If someone doesn't know enough about a subject to know if AI is giving a nonsense answer, they shouldn't be answering the question. A couple of weeks ago I needed to confirm a repair procedure. I knew the answer, but as I often do, I did a search...

The heat of vaporization cools the liquid also, exacerbating the freezing on the windshield issue. Ed

In 1985 I put together a paper explaining the various attributes of motor oils and tables of oil specifications. This was before the WWW. You had to pick up the data sheets from the local distributors or request them from the various oil companies. I was curious as to what Z7 was and called...

I got the same too good to be true vibe from the website too. I plugged the address they give on the "store directory" page into Google maps. Not confidence inspiring. The carpet does not match the drapes, as it were. 112 Frederick Ave, Rockville, MD 20850 Unit F Unit F is the one with the...

You're getting a $40K EV. The extra $600K is for the mandatory yellow painted caliper option. I kind of liked the interior at first glance. The more I look at it, the less I like it. It looks like it was assembled from a Lego kit. Just a bunch of pieces stuck on. Ed

He did not provide data that showed that particle counts are lower not changing the filter than if the filter had been changed at every OCI. He has nothing to base any claims on. A sample size of one representing half of the experiment is speculation, not science. Ed

That is a mindset that is not uncommonly seen here on BITOG. A steaming cow pie becomes filet minion if it can be had cheaply enough. Ed

I agree with this. It was a commercial product, unlabeled, in an area that contained what was clearly for the customers. I'd not jump directly to malice in this case. It could have been an honest mistake. If employees are putting their lunches in a public fridge, they should be labeled. Better...

One of the things that was mentioned in the video concerning the OE and the Bosch was that one was spraying more toward the front of the chamber, and the other more to the rear. Of course we don't know the tolerance of the tester concerning the mounting of the injectors. Is there an acceptable...

There are guidelines to lessen the chances of having a reoccurrence, but as benjamming has already posted, there is no "do this" set of things that will prevent kidney stones. There seems to a genetic component that drives whether you get stones at all, and which of the multiple types you are...

I understand that there is a move toward more manufacturers using laminated glass in side windows. This is information that owners are going to need to know if they intend to purchase and rely on devices to break out the windows. Devices that work well for tempered glass will not be effective on...

I have a friend who was(now retired) the head engineer for the audio division at Apple. He was one of those engineers making frequent trips to China. The monitoring of QA/QC was not just engineers checking in occasionally. There were people there full time. He said that you couldn't take your...

It certainly doesn't look like anyone does. Another option would be to have a friend with a lathe turn down some 8-32 jags to work for you. Ed

A standard .22 jag should work just fine in .22 rimfire. What size patches are you using? Bore Tech recommends 1" for .20 and .22 rimfire. They also offer a specific 22 rimfire jag that gives you the option of wrapping the patch around the jag...

That pleasant, fruity smell is acetaldehyde. It's listed by the EPA as an air toxic and is considered a Category 1 carcinogen. Savoring the aroma is not a good idea. I've attached a SDS for more info. Acetaldehyde is the first oxidation product ethanol. Acetic acid is the second, and a major...
