I also have an '06 Civic with tons of miles just using the Prestone universal, and have had several Honda's prior using the same. Honda's (At least like pre-2015ish) really aren't picky about fluids.

I'm guessing the shop didn't flush the cooler/lines from the original failure. Likely debris in there damaging the new unit.

I have a drive-in theater near my house, That thing would be a hoot to take there. Looks to be in amazing shape compared to 90% of them I see for sale

I know we're kinda getting off topic here, but I can't imagine why people are moving out older - my first apartment was a bit less than $300/mo in the mid 2000's, that same exact unit now with minimal renovations (my current work is near it) is over $2000/mo now. Also sidenote - I'm a...

I'd mayyyyybe go $7k on it, will likely be the most reliable vehicle you could have for the foreseeable future. I had an '03 Century, thing was bulletproof albeit pretty boring. It only met it's demise when I loaned it out to my cousin and he rear-ended a pickup, otherwise I'm sure it would...

The only vehicle I regret selling was my manual Geo Metro, that little 50hp or so engine was a blast to row through the gears. Everything else I've driven though, meh give me the auto.

Even just a decade ago most Beetles were a dime a dozen, the past 5-6 years or so they've kinda skyrocketed. 2008ish we bought one for $200 to beat around my friends property, floor pans were gone but wish I kept it now lol

Another vote on the Goodyear Eagles... I put a set on my 2012 Mazda 5 years ago, they weren't terrible but pretty "meh" in all conditions.

A lot of apartment complexes / HOA's / etc don't allow even washing a car unfortunately. I only use the carwash at my dealership because it's free lol

Regardless $52 for an oil change is nearly half what most places near me are charging, so I wouldn't squabble over it.

Yikes at that price tag! I had the same car with the V6, thing was a rocket but loved to go thru rear struts for whatever reason.

Lol at all the fussing over this, op said he's in Arizona, it won't really make much of a lick of difference where the tires are placed. The shop will likely only put them on the rear though as sop.

I don't think they're very old at all honestly - Coastal Farm and Ranch (Country store chain near me) sells Warren SAE30 as their store brand oil and the bottles look the same

Especially when it comes to oil and filters, for whatever reason, people get some weird opinions on it without any real merit or actual data. It's fine oil.

I don't really see a need to, considering a J35 made almost a million miles on whatever cheap 5w-20 until a valve chipped, which isn't an oil issue anyway.

I also had a 93 Ciera! Miss that car. I've only ever installed axle nuts with a few "ugga duggas" and never experienced any issues, and I keep my cars til they're ready for the scrap heap. But yes If you want to loosen and retorque it's fine either way in the air or ground.

Same thing happened on my 2003 Civic, one of the fans wouldn't kick. Normally I advise proper diagnostics, but when an aftermarket fan is $20 - $30 and a few minutes to change, I just shotgunned it and all was good again.

I would get the $62 Nexen, I wouldn't go used on something that's likely to get a lot more age before you need to use it

I'm pretty sure Ford still exists because the older generations think they're the most 'Murican company and have to buy 'Murican. I know I'll get heat, but these past couple generation F-150's are garbage, my dealership wholesales most that are taken on trade because they always need timing...

Pretty sure here in western WA all the AM sports stations now have an FM counterpart, sans a few oddities.... (this thread got me to switch to AM for the first time in half a decade, most of what I found is conservative talk radio, a folklore station?? and a very monotone gospel speech)
