    Hello all, Was wondering what pad/rotor combo you guys would go with for this van. I just ordered Centric premium rotors and Akebono proacts ultra-premium ceramic pads to replace the OEM but I am considering cancelling the order if you guys think something else would be better. Thanks

    Hey guys, I have never done a coolant change so I had it done at the dealer today. $49.95. I have 40k on the van now and I was wondering did I do it too soon? Also, when should it be done again if I did? Is it easy to change like my oil and tranny? Thanks for the help as I have no experience...

    Brake flush at Honda Dealer.

    Is it really necessary to do this on our Odyssey every 35k miles? I just had this done today at the dealer. Seems like it would be easy to do at home. Never tried it though. Also, Do I have to use the Honda Dot 3 or can I use any off the shelf? Thanks

    OW-20's tried them all.....

    ...and I have decided to go with the Mobil 1 EP. All have been great oils as I have tried Amsoil ASM, TGMO, MGMO, Mitsubishi and the likes. For the price, you can't argue with $5 a qt Mobil 1 EP. Mazda oil made my engine sound a little rough, ASM did a great job etc. I think it's a matter of...

    Amsoil SAE 30 vs GC OW-30

    I used the Amsoil formulation on the last oil change for my Husky AWD mower with the Honda 190cc engine, I have a boatload of German Castrol in my garage also. Should I make the drive to the NAPA every year or just use the GC? Which one is better? Thanks

    TGMO/MAZDA OW-20

    Anyone know the difference in the base stocks of these 2 oils? I would assume they are the same. Right? Are they both using the New Star branch Polymers to get the VI so high? Thanks

    Quick lube epic fail

    I noticed a bad oil burning smell in my Company car (2012 Subaru Legacy) and oil in my driveway. I went to a Merchants tire shop because it needed new tires so they investigated the oil leak. Turns out those idiots at the Quick lube havoline shop, didn't even tighten the oil filter all the way...

    Subaru Legacy Dino/OCI

    My Subaru Legacy is a company car and the Fleet comapny will only pay for Dino at 7500 miles OCI's. The manual states that 7500 is fine for Syn but didn't say for Dino (3750 I think) I may want to purchase this car for my daughter because we get a new company car every 65k. They (Fleet) usually...
