    Thoughts on the 2023 Nissan Rogue 1.5 variable compression engine?

    I just had the dealer perform the 12,000km service on my 23 Rogue SL. We're at the one year mark and this new 1.5 VC-Turbo has been excellent. Fuel economy is much better than the older 2.5 4-banger that was installed in my 2019. Power and torque are great and the vehicle really moves. I've only...

Factory filter was manufactured by Mahle. In went SuperTech 0W20 SP and a Champ PH2867 (7317 size) filter which is a little taller than...

    "OEM" Brand Synthetic - Princess Auto Canada

    I've seen this brand on the shelves at Canadian Tire as a manufacturer-specific coolant, but never an engine oil. The oil is color coded for the grades, Dexos rated and SN-Plus. Not sure exactly what a "North American" oil is, but I'll be happily using this in my Japanese vehicles. The engine...

    Alternative for Lexus Toyota WS

    I just paid $9.06/litre for genuine Toyota WS. Yeah, I know I could have used something else, but for me, it is peace-of-mind.

    Spark plug - what a difference

    Tecumseh gas tank cracking

    True, but I have a 1983 Honda mower where the plastic tank is still perfect. Great idea on the JB Weld.

    Tecumseh gas tank cracking

    That's interesting because the replacement tanks are a completely different design now.

    Tecumseh gas tank cracking

    I have a rebranded Murray snowblower (Noma) with a Tecumseh 8hp engine. It's about 22 years old and besides a few rust spots here and there, it's been excellent. Yesterday, I was getting it ready for the upcoming season and noticed the plastic gas tank is cracking in several spots. It's not...

    Favorite Oil Brand for OPE

    I buy jugs of whatever conventional oil is on sale and that usually lasts me years. Right now, it's Valvoline conventional 5 and 10W30. I used to use whatever was left over from my vehicle oil changes. For everyday residential duty, a SN rated conventional oil is overkill. Just change it regularly.
