My DD '99 Civic is at 299,3xx...should hit 300K by end of year.

1999 Honda Civic EX, 298k, roughly 5k on this oil, 12k on filter Out: Various (leaking oil, adding about a quart every 1k miles) Out: Fram ToughGuard In: SuperTech 5w30 In: Fram UltraGuard

I had Kumhos. They were decent, didn't last long though my alignment was probably to blame.

Thanks, I'll give those a look. Symptoms right now are cranking no start at cold start until I go open the hood and wiggle on the PCM connectors, then it fires up. Pressing same connectors, can cause car to stall/want to die. Not really wanting to drive it around: it died on me while driving...

It seems like whenever I have an overly tight filter (usually on my parent's cars after they take them to a quick-lube place) and I'm having a hard time removing them, the cap wrenchs I have ARE useless. Strained my forearm trying to get one loose last time.

Trying to figure out my 4.0L ZJ starting/stalling gremlin. Narrowed it down to the PCM or PCM connection.

Whichever has more (convenient) locations near you should you need a replacement under warranty.

They'd have to house a lot of bolts. You could try your local Grainger.

1999 Honda Civic EX. 291K on the engine. OUT: Mix of 5w30 MaxLife, Chevron Supreme, and some SuperTech (leaking rear main seal), roughly 8K on oil, Fram silver can IN: SuperTech 5w30 blend, kept Fram silver can on.

Have switched to Fram Ultra and now ToughGuards since the whole Purolator thing a long time ago.

+1 for Cerakote. I originally used them for the headlight restoration kit and was impressed with it that I tried the trim restorer and it's lasted way longer than any of the other sprays that I've used. For ease of use and time to apply, I'm very pleased with it.

1999 Civic, 285k on the original engine and transmission, 90% highway trip that was mostly flat, was 33mpg calculated. Was nice to see above 30 as most mixed city/highway is 28-30 mpg even driving not with a lead foot.

It showed 12.5x volts. Battery is about 5 years old rarely driven but is always on the BatteryTender.

Just cleaned all the battery terminals and put those felt pads since Amazon put a pack in my last delivery and didn't want them back. Bought a cheap $20 12v battery tester and trying to determine if it or the BatteryTender is off: car that has been in garage for about a year on the...

I remember when I thought $40K was a lot because that is what around what new Corvettes sold for when I started driving.

I shouldn't be putting this out into the universe but I've had my car since 2000 and haven't replaced it.

In my younger days, I did religious 3K oil changes using Mobil1 and M1 filters and then found this board. I then pushed those OCIs longer. Now I use "middle tier" oils with good filters, do OCIs about 6-8k, and don't think much of it. Cars are still running the same so I think I'm more bothered...

Not pretty but will get the job done and not very needed. Geez, did I describe a car or a partner?

Looks great!

I'm not a soldering expert but I think maybe we found the issue? Replaced the main relay and took the old one apart and saw this one that doesn't look like the others.
