    2003 Acura TL 3.2l - Install block heater

    YMMV, but here's the Honda Accord V6 block heater accessory instruction sheet - https://techinfo.honda.com/rjanisis/pubs/AI/AII24385.pdf There is high parts interchangeability between the Honda J30 and J32 engines. (eg I had headers on my 2001 Acura 3.2CL Type S that had combo install...

    Time for windshield washer fluid.

    Okay, so it's not just me! The last jug of SuperTech washer fluid I got smelled strongly of sulfur/rotten eggs.

    Did Fram remove the metal screen dome from the TGs?

    Is Oil Good After 70 Years? Project Farm finds out.

    I don't know if anyone else watched this, but Project Farm tests out a can of 1950's (SB/SC?) era Quaker State against a modern SN formulation. https://youtu.be/-zHlxeu_yuM I wouldn't be surprised if it was a BITOG member that sent him the vintage QS can in that crazy intricate package.

    Finally got my Takata airbag replaced.

    I was actually very impressed how efficiently my local Acura dealer handled the recalls on our two vehicles. I'm sure it was nuttier earlier in the campaign. At least in January, there were tall stacks of airbag boxes with customer names written on them in piles that must have been grouped by...

    Congrats on the new Forester. We are also enjoying our first Subaru way more than I thought we would.

    AAP Totalgrip AA7317 6mo/5,032mi on Honda J35

    Oh, forgot to mention gasket and ADV were in great shape and pliable. Only issue is the pesky pleat by the seam.

    AAP Totalgrip AA7317 6mo/5,032mi on Honda J35

    Just wrapped up an oil change on the wife's Acura RDX this long weekend and pulled off this Advance Auto Parts Protection Plus Totalgrip AA7317 filter. Total service time was 6 months, 5,032 miles on Valvoline Maxlife 0W-20, with OLM reading 30%. This red guy was picked up a long time ago...

    Oil Filter Wrench for Acura MDX

    This sounds a little crazy, but I keep a Honda OEM cup wrench on hand just to remove the factory filter. My other cup wrenches can't quite get a grip on the flutes or shiny finish and spin or slip off. I don't know who's putting these on so darn tight on the line, but our last four Hondas have...

    Using Roku 3 as an audio player?

    We're using a Roku 2 XS, not a 3, in a guest room and it seems to work pretty well with the Roku Media Player application - http://www.rokuguide.com/channels/roku-media-player It connects to our TVersity server as well as a simple DLNA-enabled DLink NAS. You might be able to use a media server...

    Purolator PL20195 - 7702mi/1yr 00 Toyota 1MZ-FE V6

    Here's the PureOne from the latest oil change on my in-law's 2000 Toyota Camry V6. This is a very low mileage city vehicle with only 44,600 on the odo. Given this vintage 1MZ-FE's reputation, I perform annual oil changes regardless of mileage. This filter was installed Labor Day 2013 and run an...

    South of the Border, apparently.

    Toyota mileage scam? Why the difference?

    According to this article I saved from Honda's odometer settlement, http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/money/autos/2007-02-19-odometer-usat_x.htm - Quote: The Society of Automotive Engineers' voluntary standard is plus or minus 4%, or no more than 4 miles high or low in every 100 miles.

    Deformed/Bulging Oil Filter

    This was posted over on Reddit's CarTalk forum, thought I'd share it with you guys since I've never seen a filter balloon like this before.

    There's Acura. 4 year 50k bumper to bumper, 6 year 70k for the drivetrain. TL, RDX and ILX are assembled in Ohio/Indiana. MDX's come from over the Northern border.

    That looks great! I hope ours looks as good when the times comes to replace the valve cover gasket.

    Weathertech Floor Liners

    Had these on our MDX and they were really wonderful. Fit great and went up high enough on the sides that snow/slush/salt/mud was never a problem. Light grey carpets looked like new when we got rid of her.
