    STP S10158XL or Fram Ultra XG10158 for '16 Toyota 4Runner?

    I'm doing an oil change on neighbors 4Runner in the morning before they go visit family with issues. I would have preferred to get the factory Toyota YZZA5 but not an option at this point. Maintenance light is already on, no clue how long. Last OCI was in August, not sure on mileage but they are...

    2008 CRV 2.4L PCV valve thread sealer?

    I'm going to replace the PCV valve in my daughters CRV. No clue if it was done at any point. I have no oil burning issues in it just doing an extra PM since it does have 229k on it, it's not expensive, and not hard to get at. The PCV is threaded into the motor by intake area. Do I need to use...

    Sam's Club $20 OFF batteries while supplies last

    I was at Sam's today and they had a table full of all different ones. All had 10/23 and 12/23 dates. I might go back for a 24F or 24F AGM for the Accord. I'll check in the morning with tester again after sitting all night. I have a 51R in the Accord now but plan to get the battery tray etc. for...

    '21 Hyundai Tucson oil and filter.

    In the morning I'm doing an oil change on future daughter-in-laws '21 Tucson SE AWD. It has 17,700 miles on it and the 2.0L GDI, no turbo. My plan right now is to use PP 5W-30 Euro L. Manual recommends 5W-20 for best fuel economy (and what is on the cap). Manual also lists 5W-30 for the same...

    $30 Harbor Freight Tire inflator / compressor Pittsburgh Automotive

    Harbor Freight compressor I have one of these in each of my cars. Works pretty quickly if needed, used it many times, normally to help others. I grab one of the small plug kits and keep it in the nice little bag with it.

    Old Craftsman Chainsaw

    Had to cut up a branch that fell during some winds. Choices of electric HF chain saw, Milwaukee 18V pole saw, Milwaukee Sawzall with pruning blade, hand saw....or dads late 70's early 80's Craftsman. I think it's a Homelite from when I had to work on it. Hasn't been started in about 1 year but...

    Mobil 1 AFE 0w-20 with LG BioTech, '19 Pilot 3.5L 7665 mi, high FE

    I didn't mark it down so 95% it was M1 AFE. Otherwise it would be PP 0W-20. Pilot does see a lot of short trip as wife works less than 2 miles from home. Long Island, NY and metro area to Bridgeport CT so even trips see a lot of slow traffic. Oil filter is Honda 15400-PCX-004 (for S2000) with a...

    Optima Yellow Top or East Penn Deka?

    2003 Sequoia needs a new battery, picking it up tomorrow morning. Currently in the truck is a 9.5 year old Optima D31A but failed to start the other day (kids listening to music). I recharged with a CTEK charger made for AGM's. It's working but cranking slow so it's time. Correct size for truck...

    M1 HM (or MMO) conflict with Ceratec / M02S?

    Based on the many positives I’ve read here at BITOG, I bought 2 cans each of Ceratec and M02S. Is the Ceratec and M02S compatible? Will one keep the other from doing what it is supposed to do since Ceratec is every like 30k vs. every OIC on M02S? Any conflict with M1 HM? I’m thinking extra...

    BG44K vs. KREEN for cleaning FI

    Probably covered many times but I couldn't find it. My past experience was with regular Techron vs. BG44K. Always used Techron 3-4 times/year never noticed any difference figured I was maintaining clean. Used BG44K after mechanic had done full BG treatment on a different vehicle getting rid of...
