98% of passenger cars, and light trucks would be just fine with drum rear brakes, the OEM's marketing department were responsible for making these 'necessary' Road salt does a far worse job on rear disks than otherwise like cars equipped with drums. YMMV. Now with regen braking for EV, the...

That makes perfect sense.

Looks like the oil never ever got hot.

I've driven on Autobahn, the ability to go so fast makes the normal speed of 130km/h seem like walking. I was using a company car, a diesel ford and the speedo was very optimistic, the GPS we had showed that we never got over 195km/h when the speedo showed 210.

All Tier 1,2, 3 suppliers are experts in their areas of expertise. They meet with the tier level above them, or with OEM and decide the specs and the features, the level above them negotiates the price, minimum order quantities, delivery schedules, etc and they sign off. Does the maker of the...

Nobody bothered to welcome this new BITOG member? He makes 1 post and gets 17+ responses that showcase the root of overanalysis that defines the norm at BITOG. There needs to be a Making Popcorn Icon for newbies that can troll as well as this guy.

Nice change of events. Thanks for tracking & sharing.

Did my DOT3 flush for my QX60 this morning. The only problem was my Motive Power Power Bleeder pump system had a cracked hose in the line that goes to the top of master cylinder. Remove hose section, cut out cracked area and re-attach. Do this task about every 2 years, only needs 1 litre of...

10 ounces of transmission fluid is enough to cause issues on slopes steep enough to starve the flow. Top up when you can.

I can't understand what Nissan was thinking regarding the VC engines. Too complex with no real performance or economy benefits relative to others. I've seen the 3 cylinder version torn down on YT and it might be impressive but how they signed off to produce must have been because of some very...

Repent Now! The Lord of Ohm will seek you out! And your nuts will never be same.

Taiwan makes 67% of the WORLD'S threaded fasteners, they know what they are doing and do it with high efficiency and low costs.

No requirement to show service of fluid?

Well, like a good BITOG member, I used one jug already.

About 7 weeks ago I purchased a jug of 0W20 Penn Plat and then realized that in order to qualify for a $20 rebate you needed to purchase 2 jugs. So back to Canadian Tire and buy another. My wife asked, "did you return the original 1 jug?" of course not, that would be a nuisance! I scanned...

Once again, less upside to living in Canada, if only for the 'self-serving' benefit of my MIL.

Too hot outside, so I am re-luming some watch hands so the hour & minute hand lume matches the dial hour markers. Fussy but fun.

Did a partial drain and refill on my wife's 2021 Nissan Rogue. At 47,910 kilometres. Drained just under 3.5 litres and replaced with exact same amount of Idemitsu N3. Belly pan was the hardest part of the task. Will do this again at 96k kilometres and might include the cartridge pleated...

Wear a billed cap, it's got the logo of my local Flight Training facility, albeit from 2009, but who cares. My hair is getting thinner, so it's needed.
