2006 Acura MDX with 435 000 KM on it. Runs great, by the way, even the A/C still works. Slight RMS leak. Filter is a Mobil 1, M104 Extended Performance. Oil was Castrol Edge 5W50 (the thicker oil helps with the RMS leak) run for about 9000 KM. The filter, however, was run for 2 OCI, about 18...

I used to have a 99 Dodge Grand Caravan. I found 4 of these filters in my garage. None of my current vehicles can use this as far as I can tell. Anyone know if these were decent filters? Looks like there's no relief valve either. Would anyone use these seeing as they're a decade or so old?

First off all, someone at Nissan should be beaten with a stick. I used to have a 2000 Maxima with the 3.0 litre V6 and the rear spark plugs were accessible without dismantling half the engine. This 2004 with the 3.5, the intake manifold collector has to come off, which means extra money for a...

The VQ apparently has a problem with the secondary timing chains wearing out the plastic tensioner guide shoes. Any recommendations for an oil that will protect plastic (or I guess help with metal chain rubbing on plastic guide shoes) or is this just a [censored] design flaw, no matter what oil...

I love the location of this oil filter. It appears to be a spin on as well, not a cartridge..

Replaced my OE spark plugs on 2006 MDX (which were Denso iridium (I forget the part #) with Bosch Iridium. Fuel economy seems to be suffering from what it was, but I know any number of things could be the cause. Just curious - all the spark plug needs to do is create a spark to burn the...

I have four 4.4 litre jugs of Toyota 0w20 (SM), one 5 litre jug of Honda 0w20 (SM), one 1 litre bottle of the original Toyota 0w20 (black Canadian bottle) - I'm saving this for the archives, two 4.4 litres jugs of Pennzoil Platinum 5w20 (SM), one 5 litre jug of Pennzoil Ultra 5w20 one 5 litre...

Saw this guy driving down the highway today. Carpool buddy thinks I'm insane (he took the picture for me). Really, though...that's a big stash...lol. IIRC, it was mostly 0w20 and a few boxes of 10w30.

Why didnt I buy the Lada Cossack I had my heart set on instead of the MDX? Do you have any idea how many soccer moms drive an MDX? Really....when your biggest concern is that your 2006 Infiniti is embarrassing you, you maybe need to spend some time with malaria victims in Botswana.

Weird question...but....if I inflate my tires with the vehicle off the ground, will the psi increase when the vehicle is lowered and the tire is being compressed by the weight of the vehicle? I meant to test this today when I switched from winter rims/tires to summer, but I forgot. I could just...

I've used this stuff before, but again was amazed at how much it smells like leather. The Z10 is called leather in a bottle and it truly smells like new leather. Did the inside of my six year old vehicle on Tuesday it still smells like new leather inside today (from the Z10, not because the...

So my 10yr old daughter says to me (after driving to ski resort and home at night, once in my 2006 RX400h and once in Mom's 2010 Equinox), Mom's high beams are brighter than yours. Now, I know that bulbs deteriorate over time, and these are probably the original (since March 2005) high beam...

Four jugs - 5 litres each. It was actually 101.80 before the stinking taxes. Still the SM version, so should have high moly. Funny that even though they are 4 five litre jugs, they were sold to me as 20 individual litres.

I emailed Lexus Canada regarding the use of 0w20 oils on older vehicles. See here http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2457090#Post2457090 and here for the Toyota chart http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2143463#Post2143463...

I emailed Lexus Canada last week asking for a chart similar to the one I received from Toyota Canada in January 2011. See here http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2143463#Post2143463 for the Toyota chart. Here is the chart I received from Lexus Canada today...
