Looks like Honda is recalling vehicles due to a defect in the crankshaft which then leads to connecting rod problems.. ouch https://hondanews.com/en-US/releases/release-ce25b2bdc6167d48c9de61f4f90293c5-2015-2020-multi-model-connecting-rod-recall and info from NHTSA...

It's a faulty ABS fuse that's causing the issues.. Here's a clip from the article for the models affected : "Affected vehicles include 1.64 million Hyundai models: 2011-2015 Elantra, Genesis Coupe, and Sonata Hybrid; 2012-2015 Accent, Azera, and Veloster; 2013-2015 Elantra Coupe and Santa Fe...

I have a GE electric clothes dryer, just replaced the front and rear bearings (was squeaking/squealing), the front door felt (lower part of bearing) and the drive belt. It's running quiet now but I wanted to see if the heating elements were turning on. I opened the door, held the door switch and...

After the less than stellar UOA I had done on my 96 Civic with Supertech Full Syn 5w30 (my opinion, didn't like the results), I decided to change to Mobil1 Advanced Full Synthetic 5w30. All the reviews that wanted to claim that Mobil1 was making their engine louder, are not true at all in my...

Found this over at the CPSC.. Anker power bank units being recalled named Powercore 20k model number A1366 or Anker 535. I didn't know if anyone had these, thought I'd post it.. https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2023/Fantasia-Trading-Recalls-Anker-Power-Banks-Due-to-Fire-Hazard

Ok I saw this out of Lansing, Michigan.. Guy in a 2020 Dodge Charger was stopped by the MSP for doing 156mph on I-496 in Downtown Lansing! I guess the limiter was removed? Wow.. guess he was late for an appointment? :LOL...

I was a fan of the Supertech Full Syn oil with everything that I researched before trying it in the 96 Civic. I will say that I'm not that impressed at all. It sheared down to a 5w20 in only 6 months and this with nothing but 90% highway driving! Plus I didn't like seeing a rise in wear numbers...

Received an email from Blackstone today, like everything else, they're raising prices on a basic UOA.. going up to $35 now, here's the link https://mailchi.mp/blackstone-labs.com/price-increase?e=7791b01e52

Wanted to see what was in the regular Toyota 5w30 SN Plus version, so here it is.. Looks like it's on the thin side of the 5w30 spec.

I'm not complaining but wanted to check if others had this on their Ryobi cordless power tools. I just bought a new P262 Ryobi Impact wrench (600ft/lbs 1/2" drive), looks great. Yes I did pop in a battery, works fine.. but.. I looked down the hole to the electrical connectors on the tool itself...

Well.. Looks like Michigan is getting its turn for a winter storm!! All winter season it has been going around us, not this time! I wonder how much we will really get, will it be the amount the local weather forecasters say?? Hmm...

AS 09GLS post about this scanner, it got me thinking that I would like to update my older Harbor Freight scanners. Since my older one doesn't offer scanning abs/srs systems. I went to look tonight and found there's an Amazon lighning deal ($24 off), for the next 5 hours (as I write this) plus...

Usually Walmart or even Amazon was a place I'd buy a 5qt jug of Magnatec 5w-30.. But I had to share this insanity.. When did Magnatec become $50+ at Amazon?! It's usually around $20 a jug both at Walmart and Amazon.. I checked Walmart they're upped their prices for more than Oreilly! Oreilly is...

I discovered a weeping oil leak on the air intake manifold on my 06 Scion tc. I know the 2az-fe engine has the head bolt issue, but that doesn't look like the issue here. It's only one bolt (furthest right side) that's wet with oil towards the throttle body (driver's side of the car).. I didn't...

Just got done reading this in the michigan news.. here in michigan the state police caught a guy doing 180mph on I-75 in monroe (south of detroit, going towards ohio). All it said was that it was a 2016 Dodge.. I'm thinking.. ok, what dodge doesn't have a top speed limiter? And if there was a...

Yes for those of you who had a good laugh at me asking if Blackstone was open, yes, they are! lol.. Just got my UOA back.This is (for me) an extended oil change. This one went 9 months and 5901 miles. Guess this proved to me that yes, these oils CAN go a long time and still work well. I was...

With everything being shut down in this country.. have to ask.. is Blackstone Labs open?? yes I could call them, but easier to post if anyone knew..

As everyone talks about how there are only three major automotive battery manufacturers and how they just slap labels of the store on the same exact battery they supply. Well I just got an advance auto battery for my civic 51r size. Their house brand is autocraft. I know it's made by Clarios...
