    Frustrating Dealer Experience

    There is one thing that most miss and that's the "Severe Use" schedule which is probably ~5K miles. 99.9% of us fall in this category according to the OM definition of what it is, but hardly any owner ever considers it.:eek: This is probably what your dealer was referring to whe it suggested...

    Same Car Same Engine, Different Country Different Oil

    BINGO! That's exactly what it is, only to satisfy fleet average. If I were in a warm climate I'd use 5W30 too.

    Europe's plan to fix over tourism crisis

    It may be different from place to place, but I've seen it in Venice where not only they eat the lunch-box but they leave it behind as garbage. I suppose the venetian prices are too high for mass tourism. (they are high)

    Europe's plan to fix over tourism crisis

    It's not the tourist, BUT the type of tourism they get. Day-Trippers & a Tsunami of them disgorged by huge cruise ships is not what they want. These "Tourists" even bring their lunch-box with them, duly prepared by the ship's kitchen, so NO business for local eateries. Knick-Knack sellers though...

    Dealership Cost... What do you think?

    Plenty will do it for less, BUT will they be as knowledgeable? Some may be, but whenever I look for one I feel like Diogenes with his lamp looking for an honest man!

    Thinking About Idemitsu TLS-LV for 2007 Tacoma V6 (Aisin A750E Automatic)

    For Aisin automatic transmissions that require WS (World Standard) fluid, you should use Aisin ATF-0WS. This is the factory-specified fluid for many modern Aisin-Warner 6- and 8-speed transmissions. Explanation: Aisin ATF-0WS: This is a fully synthetic, low-viscosity fluid specifically...

    article: Previous owner retains control over Tesla

    That's the Crux of the matter! The new owner did not make the ownership change in a timely manner! I see it as a buyer's responsibility not a seller's.

    Makita Battery Charger

    Yeah don't go the knock-off route! Just an idea, why not buy a kit (charger&drill) and then sell the drill, there may be someone in a similar situation only the other way around, that way your charger would be a reasonable price.

    tru with michelin

    Tires should be replaced every 5-6 years REGARDLESS of miles driven. Rubber hardens &/or deteriorates, you're endangering your life and what's worse that of others!

    Corruption Costs: Sri Lankan Airlines Demands 4 Free Airbus A330-900s & More In Compensation

    What I find ironic & somewhat perplexing is that nobody is going after the previous CEO. If anybody has done "business' in any of those countries that person ought to know that any contract starts with"What's in it for me" On 2nd thought I think I answered myself in the 1st line!

    EFI over the years has proven to be more reliable than carburetors, also where would you find a mechanic that will known about, float, needle, venturi, choke etc in case of breakdown?

    New CVT oil ??

    The Only Approval/Certification can come from Subaru itself or the Tranny manufacturer and this ought to appear on the bottle without the OEM Approval number anything else is just an unproven claim. e.g. MB aftermarket oils/fluids IF MB approved have an approval number on the manufacturer bottle.

    New CVT oil ??

    I would NOT take that as the Gospel! These fluid manufacturers to be in business must supply fluid for the most common trannies. I memory serves, Subaru is the ONLY manufacturer that build its own transmissions, as such they may have particular needs that can only be provided by OEM Fluid. This...

    Are drilled and slotted rotors worth the cost?

    ^^^^^THAT !!! Good drilled/slotted rotors are NOT cheap! Their purpose is to dissipate heat. If not done properly will weaken the rotor. Some manufacturer do it as "cosmetic" just to raise the price and no real R&D. In your case to give you a proper answer one would need the type of terrain over...

    State of Alabama "Buyers can tour a home without a contract"

    YOU yourself can have your own open house there is nothing to stop you from selling your own property. This is where it may get tricky as laws are different from State to State & Province to Province. Yes you do need a Listing Agreement for an open house as in this agreement you state IF you...
