Has anyone had an issue with a Honda CR-V, specifically the 2014, with the lug nuts loosening up? I had this issue maybe about 2 years ago with my wifes car about 200-300 miles after a tire rotation. Had numerous rotations since and new tires. The last time the wheels were off the car was the...

So, I have read that you need to get our oil temps up to 212F to burn off contaminants. My question is, how long do you need to see these temps? The reason I ask is that during the winter, for me to get to these temps I have to drive in a lower gear and keep RPMs up. For instance, I can be on...

Noticed this sidewall crack yesterday. Car is a 2018 Subaru Legacy Sport. Tires are stock tires. GOODYEAR EAGLE LS-2. I have ~40k on the tires with plenty of tread left. Looking to replace in the next 10 to 20k. Is a crack like this an issue? I didn't look at the other tires because I didn't get...

Has anyone used this yet? My wife's 14 CR-V is due for a change. I see that it is supposedly DW-1 compatible but I was curious if anyone has used it either specifically where DW-1 is required or in any ATF. Car has ~132k miles on it and has had the ATF changed every time the MM calls for it.

2018 Legacy. A little history. I got the tires rotated a few days ago and changed the oil today. I haven't really been driving the car much because my wife has been taking it to work to put miles on it. Well today after the oil change I noticed a sound that kinda sounds like whirring...

Wife's CR-V has a note in the MM that the all-wheel drive fluid should be changed. When I look at the manual it says 6. Rear Differential Fluid and no mention of all-wheel drive fluid. To me all-wheel drive fluid would be something like a center diff or the transfer case and not just a...

Mechanic just called and said that there is a hose or pipe that goes to the thermostat that is rotting out. I am not sure exactly which part this is. He also said it is a common issue. Has anyone heard about this before? The car has ~117k miles on it. For the most part things have been good with...

I'm going to need new brakes soon on my wife's 2014 CR-V AWD. Previously we have been using OEM stuff but I am looking to upgrade to something that has better stopping power and hopefully a little more life. For Pads, I was looking at the Powerstop Z26 Street Warrior; Carbon-Fiber Ceramic for...

I'm sure this has been asked before so I apologize ahead of time. My wife's 2014 cr-v has 106k on it. We had oil changes done at the dealer every 5k except once or twice where it was between 6-7k. The dealer used M1 at least according to the invoices and I think it was AFE. I just had her last...

Anyone know what the deal is with the new Amsoil 5W-40? It is cheaper and I see some tech differences but not enough to give me an idea why one is ~$3 cheaper per quart than the other. I have always used AFL. The new EFM is also considered a Full SAPS oil whereas the AFL is considered Mid SAPS...

I have head good things about it from reading reviews of people that have used it but I have to try it. I was thinking about trying it in my 1995 Nissan Pathfinder which has a factury reman engine with about 20K miles on it. If what they say is true, it almost seems like a no brainer. Buy it...
