I don't have any experience with Infiniti but sometimes a manufacturer does step up and help even after the warranty. My brother in law bought an Acura MDX used. The transmission failed a few months out of warranty. The repair was going to be $8-9k. He reached out to a local Acura dealer who...

My preference is usually OEM but I've used pretty much all the common brands and they all do the job.

Minivans are hard to beat for a family vehicle and the Odyssey is among the best. Enjoy it!

Replaced a leaking V-Tec solenoid gasket on the Honda today so I went ahead and did an oil change since I was already removing the oil filter for easier access to the bolts. Refilled with Castrol GTX Synthetic and a Honda OEM oil filter.

There are a couple of primary reasons that this would be concerning to a bank. One being from a lending perspective, not knowing the source of the cash could indicate that he borrowed the money from someplace/someone which means they don't have a clear picture of his financial obligations...

I had both fail back to back right about the time I graduated high school. Chevy S-10 Blazer with the 2.8 V-6. The transmission failed first. Engine seemed to run okay so I took it to AAMCO for a transmission rebuild. A couple of months later the engine started making a lot of clatter from the...

Of the two, I'd lean towards the Altima but only if the price savings is fairly significant vs the Camry or Accord.

If it's just seepage that's not dripping on the ground I would leave it be.

Replaced a failing ignition switch in the Honda and finished upgrading from the 51r battery to a Group 35. Used a universal battery tray and hold down kit and the larger ground cable that comes standard on the V-6 model Honda's. Seems to be a highly recommended upgrade on the Honda forums. Went...

Hard to believe they were outsmarted by a bunch of kids. Seems more likely that they purposely failed to do their due diligence.

I have a subscription for unlimited washes for both cars through Russell Speeders which also gives us access to their vacuums and interior cleaning products for about $30/mo. per vehicle. I think it's a good value.

$20k could still buy a decent Rav4 or CR-V. It just wouldn't be as new. I would lean in that direction. I've personally had good luck with the Hyundai products that I have owned but it's undeniable that the manufacturer has had some significant issues lately. I wouldn't rule them out as a...

I have two Honda mowers. The nicer one was a 2018 model HRX something or other self-propelled that I bought in 2019. It has been trouble free. I also have an older Honda that I picked up on Marketplace for $20 for my son. I believe that one is about 15 years old or so. I bought it with the...

It's just a mileage counter for 7500 miles on our Forte. Not sure if newer ones are different. It can be set to different intervals but 7500 seems to be the default. I just described them collectively as maintenance minders.

I've never spoken at a funeral. I think I'd do well at writing the eulogy but delivering it isn't really in my wheelhouse.

Completed a drain and fill on the Honda with Honda DW-1.

Quaker State Full Synthetic went into both cars. OEM filter on the Kia. Purolator Classic went on the Honda this time and I have OEM Honda filter on deck for next time. Will follow the maintenance minder on both.

We have a payment on my wife's car but we pay extra to get it done early. Didn't want to finance that one either but needs changed which dictated a fast purchase and I was low on cash at the time and rates were low too. My personal preference though is older paid for cars with no payments.

I'm pretty unimpressed with most of my family that I already know about so I'd never use one of these services. I can only imagine what craziness I would find if I went digging further into my family lineage!

I just keep the store receipts from my oil and filter purchases and keep a paper log where I write down the date, mileage, and what services were performed. I put those in a folder with any other receipts for things like tire and battery purchases. I've yet to ever be asked to present this...
