How can you rate a filter for mileage ? There are way too many variables that would determine the life expectancy of a filter . Am I wrong ?

So I went to the grocery store this morning . Upon leaving , I opened the passenger door of my truck and started loading the bags . Something didn't look right . Then it hit me . The logo on the steering wheel said Ford . I drive a Nissan . :eek: In my defense , both vehicles were white and...

My sister gave me a pressure washer yesterday . It had belonged to my brother in law . I changed the nasty engine oil and drained and refilled the pump oil . The sticker on the pump said that 30wt Non Detergent oil was an acceptable substitute for actual pump oil . I found some at Walmart for $4...

They are having a fundraising event for a Police Officer that was injured in the line of duty . At the end of the day he will be handed what is expected to be a large sum of cash .

Anybody using a service that they would recommend ?

I bought a GP2500I today and I asked the guy what oil was recommended . He told me straight 30 weight . I thought that was kind of odd but when I looked in the manual straight 30 weight was ok for the temperature range that I would use it in . He gave me a quart of Kawasaki branded SAE 30 so I...

I usually cheap out and don't purchase road hazard coverage . A month ago I put 2 new tires on my wife's car and paid 10 bucks apiece for RH . Yesterday I had a very low tire so I zipped over to the shop and had them check it . Sure enough . Big screw in the tire . They patched it and told me to...

I had a slow leak in one of my tires . I got tired of putting air in it twice a week so this morning I went to a local shop had it repaired . They found a small screw in it , and patched the tire . Total out the door price was $39.00 !! I know everything is going up but the last tire repair was...

When the time comes to replace the battery in my 2018 Titan 5.6 V8 , will there be any issues with just simply removing / replacing it ? I've seen some posts here about some vehicles needing a backup source to keep the computer settings intact , etc.

Had my wife's Mazda CX9 in the shop for a brake job . I told them to change the oil while they had it . I was looking at the invoice later and saw that they used 5W-20 oil . If I remember correctly the oil fill cap has 5W-30 stamped on it . I'm not freaked out about it but should I be ?

My niece works at a Dialysis Clinic . Her 2022 Kia Soul was parked in the lot the other night , under a streetlight . Some idiot, or possibly plural idiots broke out the back window and entered the vehicle . They then pulled the wires out of the steering column in what appears to be an attempt...

Just got my wife's car out of the body shop . The guy polished the headlights while he had it . Did an awesome job but I know it won't last . The owner said there was some products available but they don't last very long . Anybody have any experience with this ?

Is there a standard measurement at which the pads should be replaced , or does it vary by vehicle ? My wife's CX-9 has 100k on the original pads . I had it in the shop for a brake booster replacement and the tech said that the pads were thin but not metal on metal yet . He said if we ever hear...

I'm changing as I get older . I go to the range less now . There is only one gun out there that I want really bad . None of this new stuff interests me .I have a pistol up for sale and possibly another in the near future . I haven't fired my Garand in over a year and my AR has been even longer ...

My Niece works for Brown and Root . She just went to a meeting in Houston with a bunch of other contractors , and Tesla people . Seems they want to build a battery factory in Texas somewhere . Location not specified yet . I didn't know they built their own batteries .

Sitting around a backyard fire the other night , drinking a Beer and talking about things . The conversation turned to finances , debt , inheritance , etc. My friend said that at his age ( 65 ) , he didn't care if he carried any debt when he died . Why pay off a Credit Card , just pay the...

Looking for a small Inverter Generator . Somewhere around 2kw continuous . HONDA is not an option . Too expensive at this time . Checking the reviews on everything else they are good and bad. Any personal experiences ?

My daughter in law's sister totaled her Nissan Titan pickup . Since vehicle prices are inflated through the roof , will the insurance pay the " book value " of the truck or the new ridiculous retail price of today ?

2012 Mazda CX-9 P245 60R18 .. Nothing high end . This vehicle doesn't get driven a lot , less than 80 miles per week usually . More concerned with ride quality . The current Bridgestone Duelers seem a little harsh at the recommended 36 psi . Anyone ?
