    Great experience getting my windshield replaced

    Safelite replaced my Sienna. The person did a great job. Of course, I was watching since he did it in my driveway. They equiped him with a lot of relatively high tech tools to remove the old windshield and install the new one. Before that I have a local shop (before there was Safelite)...

    Refused service for bringing my own (OEM) parts

    I have a shop that I can bring my part. One time, I had to pay him 3x because the part that I brought were bad. Good thing he is very reasonable of only charging me 1 hour rate. This was a rear wheel bearing for FWD Toyota which have the electronic speed sensor built in. So apparently all the...

    I drip left over oil drop in the jug after oil change. Well I have a whole bunch of oil jugs at that time. Drip them all into a clean dispenser squeeze bottle and it was enough to fill half a bottle. Then I fill it up the rest of the bottle with MMO to thin it out. It was a mix of engine and...

    How long for Diesel oil to turn black?

    A good diesel oil have an additive to (should) float the soot right away. Hence it turns black right away. That is what I read in this forum a while back. If it is not like that, then it is not a good diesel oil or not rated for diesel engine.

    Son looking at a 2013 Lexus RX 350 for sale

    We bought 2 2010 RX350, it is great. Not perfect but engine is running. We have to replace the suspension on the older of the 2 (3 years of ownership). The other one was bought last year, not used too much but no repair needed (5000 miles driven so far). For $5000, it is a good deal. Coming...

    What mouse to replace Logitech g703? (mouse suggestions)

    I know I don't answer your question but if you are handy, you can open it up and bend the metal contact a little to get better contact. The contact usually goes flat as it gets older hence creating double click. Then you will get a few more years on the mouse unless the switch has worn out. It...

    Water Heater replacement?

    Do yourself a favor. When you get the new one, replace the existing Anode Rod with this Corro-protect anode rod. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01H459TAK?th=1 Now, you need an electrical outlet but that usually is not a problem.

    Toyota 2AR-FE - Which Oil Grade?

    "Are they just using 0W-20 in the US for emissions and fuel economy?" Probably. "If so, does that shorten the life of the engine." I don't think anybody have done a study on this. Everything said will just be a speculation. But suppose that it last 300K miles as supposed to 350K miles, who...

    Rats In the Attic!

    If I were you, when they fix the siding, I am assuming they will take off the old one and replace it. Tell them to put a layer of thin metal (flashing material) before the siding. This will ensure that the rodents cannot get in after chewing (for insurance). Spray foam insulation (more solid)...
