    Would a PCV catch can be worthwhile?

    When my coworker and I did the spark plugs on my pathfinder a few weeks ago we noticed a small amount of oil on the intake plenum gasket and up in the intake plenum. I've also noticed on cold starts my exhaust smells a bit like oil. Would adding a PCV catch can be worthwhile?

    What is this stuff on my bathroom walls?!

    This orangish-brown looking stuff has been appearing on the walls of my bathroom for quite some time. It comes right off with a wet washcloth or a Clorox wipe. It appears on all the walls, sometimes little spots on the ceiling and the door too. I've repainted everything twice now and it keeps...

    Big Bertha got new spark plugs today

    My coworker did the spark plugs on my Pathfinder in exchange for me installing his new car stereo, and I was definitely long overdue. Here's what my original plugs with 115K on them looked like. I'm surprised it ran as well as it did with these :eek:

    Question for CVTz50 app users

    To anyone using the CVTz50 app to monitor their CVT transmission, which ELM327 adapter are you using? The ELM327 I've used for several years with Torque with zero issues is constantly having connection issues with CVTz50, and CVTz50 is saying I may have a counterfeit dongle.

    My 2014 Pathfinder just got its 3rd CVT at 114K miles. The original lasted 87K miles, the second one lasted about 27K miles. The third one has about 500 miles on it so far.

    My dad's birthday was on the 25th, and for his birthday I got a cold air intake for his Tacoma, which I service regularly and have posted about on here before.

    Super S Multi Flo oil on sale at True Value

    Not sure if all True Values have the same promotions, but my local one had Super S Multi Flo syn blend on sale for $4.49/quart. Despite having enough oil on hand to last me way past 400,000 miles, I went ahead and cleaned them out of all their 5w30 and 10w30.

    Oil recommendations for dad's truck, severe duty?

    I have a queen size purple mattress and I've yet to find a fitted sheet that actually stays on the thing.

    Jack Rebney, aka Winnebago Man, passed away at 93

    "Will you do me a kindness?" For anyone who hasn't seen the video before, "Winnebago Man" is a compilation of hilarious, profanity-laced outtakes from a 1988 industrial film for Winnebago Industries.

    Garden hose filter recommendations

    Not sure if this is the correct subforum but what I am seeking is a consumer device nonetheless. I rent, so I can't install a whole home softener, and where I am there is super hard water. So much so, that I have given up on home-washing my car entirely because any time I do, it looks like...

    Who makes Everstart AGM batteries

    I have a battery box that I'm planning to use as an off-grid power supply to run my CB radio base station as well as my laptop and some other things because I'm getting tons of radio interference from my current switching power supply. Plus the ability to have a battery backup is nice. I'm...

    Anywhere to buy clearance/discontinued engine oil cheap?

    I take care of all the cars in the family, with the exception of warranty and recall work obviously, and I already have a huge stockpile of 5w30 for my mom's Honda and my Nissan, but I need to get some 0w20 on hand for my dad's truck because with how much he drives for work he basically gets a...
