    What is the best oil filter you can buy off of RockAuto?

    At one time some Bosch canister filters were made by Purolator. This goes back to pre M+H days. No idea what the story is today.

    Never ever had a car with a working AC

    I have genuine sheepskin seats covers in the front seats of my W210. Cool in the summer, warm in the winter. Year round comfort.

    New Honda Odyssey

    1) I'm surprised you got a majority of dealers to respond to you offer 2) I am not surprised by the silly games dealerships still feel like they need to play with their customers

    Advanced Auto Parts | FRAM Oil Clearance

    Their prices on 5 qt jugs of Fram are still not worth a sniff. $14.95 for conventional and $20.95 for full syn. :ROFLMAO: One of the better deals remaining is the 12 oz. PSF for $0.85.

    You bought the car with 190K miles and have done your first D&F at 220K miles. Any idea of the maintenance history and if SP-III has always been used? What was the condition of the fluid that came out? Burnt smelling? You should celebrate that tranny has lasted that long, is the vehicle a 4 cyl...

    AMC V8 Oil?

    I ran 5W-30 or 10W-30 in the 304 V8 in my old CJ-7 depending if summer or winter with no issues. Sounds like a nice rig you have. If your fuel lines are original or older, be sure to replace the fuel filter with every oil change.

    Autozone - Quaker State All Mileage Synthetic Blend 5W-20 Motor Oil 5 Quart

    Rarely does the clerk not comment and say to me " Wow, $xxx for XYZ is a great deal" telling me 1) they had no idea of the deal 2) Possibly leading to pilphering or self-dealing for them or their buddies had they known. I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt to most folks on #2.

    Rock Auto Wagner ThermoQuiet Bait and Switch???

    My experience in buying any parts from RA under the "closeout parts" banner has been any name brands listed are just a suggestion. You may or may not get that exact name. I accept that risk. Cannot say the same for normally priced items there.

    New control arm bushing failure after less than a year

    When I re-worked the entire suspension on my 2002 E430 (W210) about 20k miles ago, I used TRW front upper and LCA, a combination of MB and Lemforder rear components and black Bilstein shocks. The subframe bushings may have been Febi or Meyle. All working great.

    Shop fan or ceiling fan for garage

    Get a floor fan with wheels. It will keep the 'skeeters off you better than a ceiling fan too.

    Southern Home Indoc

    Meaning insulation on the pipes inside the "box" and anything exposed. One more pro tip: When people in Alabama say LA, they mean Lower Alabama, not Los Angeles.

    Southern Home Indoc

    Sweet home. As for your tankless, make sure all the pipes are professionally wrapped with insulation on the inside. Follow manufacturer's service recommendation. Pro tip: Don't order unsweetened iced tea at restaurants, you will give away you ain't from around there plus most places don't even...
