    Oil changes for warranty

    I purchased a 2022 CPO Acura MDX Type S back in July and a CPO car comes with a 100,000 mile power train warranty. I asked service about doing my own oil changes and how that would effect warranty in case I ever need to use it. They simply said that as long as I have documentation of it being...

    2022 Acura MDX Type S. New ride.

    I pulled the trigger on a CPO Acura MDX. I had a 2013 Tahoe that was getting rusty but ran good and large with poor fuel mileage. I also have an Accord coupe that I love but will probably sell because I just don’t drive it any more because it’s too small for a family. I wanted something quick...

    Some drywall damage that just doesn’t make sense

    I have some damage on my ceiling in my living room that I thought was from a roof leak. I called my roofer guy and he came out right away and couldn’t find anything on the roof that would appear to be a leak. He also said that water leaks usually stain yellow. True. We just had a storm roll thru...

    Axle seal leak or something else on my Tahoe

    So about 4 months ago I was changing the front diff mounts on my 13 Tahoe and I unbolted the right front CV shaft from the diff at the 6 bolt flange. Oddly diff fluid starts leaking out of the flange that I had unbolted so a put it back together right away. Now today I did an oil change and...

    My findings with AISIN timing belt and replacement saga

    I’ll try to keep this short and sweet but just wanted to talk about the AISIN timing belt kit for my J35 Accord. 2 1/2 years ago and under 30,000 miles ago I had and Indy shop replace my timing belt, water pump and blah blah with the AISIN kit. I didn’t feel like messing with it at the time and...

    Under valve cover pics Honda J35 Accord

    I’m in the middle of a valve adjustment on my 2015 Accord V6 with 120k miles. I have owned this car since new and have always used synthetic oil that was changed every 5000 to 6000 miles. VCM has been disabled since the car was 1 years old. I hates the NVH that stupid VCM gives off. Anyways...

    Honda J35 Valve adjustment, affect idle quality

    I am sure this has been discussed a million times about Hondas in general but, a quick search really didn’t provide anything recently relevant. I have a 2015 Accord V6 with 120,000 miles and really do not know if spending almost $900 at the dealer was the right thing to do for a valve...

    I have a 2013 Tahoe with a 6L80 transmission and would like to know what the fluid pressure is running through the atf cooler. Also, does that pressure change with temperature or engine RPM? Does it stay constant? @clinebarger I need to make a transmission like repair and would like to know this...

    Quick detail this morning

    I decided to wash, clay, and spray wax my 2015 Accord this morning. It turned out great minus the thousands of rock chips on the front end. I decided to go back to the basic Duragloss Aqua Wax spray that had not used in a very long time.

    Another NAPA leaking filter?

    This is a Man Hummel NAPA Platinum filter on my 2015 Accord V6. As seen in the photos the filter is covered in a layer of oil with a drip on the bottom. I can’t find any other leaks on this engine anywhere so it’s safe to assume that this is the filter leaking. I was changing the oil when I...

    New car alert! 2022 Mazda CX-5 carbon edition

    My mom had been driving a Lincoln MKC for the past 4 years and it was a nice car but it had it fair share of issues. Lots of minor bugs and silly inconvenience and a few large repairs like the transmission. It was starting to show its age with rust in the bottom of the doors and under carriage...

    2013 Tahoe diff oil recommendations?

    I have a 2013 Tahoe 5.3L 4x4 160,000 miles and unknown drain and refill history. I would like to change the front and rear diff fluid along with the transfer case. In my owners manual the transfer case calls for Dexron VI fluid, no big deal and widely available. The front diff calls for 80w90...

    2013 Tahoe clunk, pop, and shake.

    I have a 2013 tahoe that now has 160,000 miles that I bought for cheap back in the spring time. The problems have not gotten worse but annoying. First, at highway speed if I hit a patch of rough road or a series of bumps I’ll get a shake in the steering wheel. A couple times it was actually kind...

    Aisin green or AMAM 2011 Ford

    I’d like to do a drain and fill on my sisters 2011 Fusion Sport to get some fresh coolant in the system. This year of Fusion was filled with the Ford or Mazda green coolant. So, what should I do here? I have a gallon of AMAM at the house, I have a gallon of Peak Aisin Green 50/50. I’m assuming...

    2013 Tahoe will not pass emissions

    I picked up a 2013 Tahoe 5.3L with 150,000 miles and I am having a hell of a time with emissions. I had a check engine light on for P0172 and P0175, running rich on both banks. I had that looked at the the fuel composition was read way rich that the computer was reset. Engine light has been off...

    Honda vibration at idle in gear solutions?

    I have a 2015 Accord V6 and have the famous vibration resonance at idle in gear, worse with the AC on. My car has 104,000 miles and have done quite a bit of maintenance along with a few extra and just can not figure this one out. Engine oil and trans fluid are always changed on schedule Timing...

    I did a gas pedal relocation.

    My uncle bought a 2019 RAM and dropped it off at my house to have me relocate the gas pedal. He has a fake right leg due to a farming accident years ago so he has to drive with his left foot. I did not take any in progress pics but I moved some wiring off the side out of the way and had to come...

    2015 Accord V6, Mobil 1 AP, 100,000 miles on this car

    Very very boring report again. This is Mobil AP 5w20 that was on clearance from Autozone a couple years ago. NAPA filter bought on sale too. Changed the oil when the MM said to. The MM usually goes off between 5,000 and 6,000 miles probably because I drive a lot I’m the city. No oil consumption...

    Any long term reviews on Cooper Discoverer At3 4s?

    I know Cooper tires are usually a favorite on this site and that’s all and good. I came across a local auto shop that sells Cooper and I’d like to hear some long term reviews about the Discoverer AT3 4S. I have read the reviews on Google and Tire Rack. They are mostly great but quite a few...

    Experiences buying tires at Walmart.com??

    I am searching for a deal on tires in 245/40/19 because mine are starting to get low but it’s not an immediate situation. I found these Pirelli tires last night but Walmart’s website is a bit confusion and I am not sure what I will actually end up with if I actually order. In the picture, the...
