    Honda HCF-2 vs. Redline nonslip CVT Fluid

    My daughter just bought a 2015 Honda CRV with the CVT. It has about 38k but I am planning to baseline all the fluids with fresh fill in the coming weeks. My question is about the Honda HCF-2 fluid vs. the Redline CVT equivalent. In the past, the Honda fluids were mid-pack. I've had good results...

    Ball Joint Recommendations

    The Search function didn't help much so I thought I'd just ask. I am going to replace the upper and lower ball joints on my old (1991) Ford Ranger. OEM and Moog or off brands are on Amazon or Rock. Are Mevotech or Centric worth considering? Any preferred brands based on your experiences...
