Was doing a brake job on the 2011 Pathfinder. Rear calipers on both sides are frozen in the extended position and won’t retract whether I use c clamps or the caliper retraction tool. Previous owner rounded off the bleeders on all 4 corners. Turns out they are frozen. I tried opening the bleeder...

Noticed ATF dripping below the radiator area on the ‘05 Corolla (1zz fe). Crept underneath the car and I’m pretty sure it’s coming from the trans cooler metal lines. I ordered the part (#32907-02030) and it should get here in the next couple of days. Can someone here please help me with finding...

I always liked the way these looked when they first came out. Of course, with 50k+ MSRP they were never affordable for me. I had been keeping an eye on FB marketplace for a few months and a decently priced seemingly well maintained 9-5 popped up - not too far away from me! Couldn’t resist...

This is on a 2008 Focus S (roll up windows, manual door locks, base everything except 4AT option) with the 4 speed automatic that I previously owned and is now back with me. It’s got about 119k miles. Car sat for about 10 months while it was given to a family member as they had an unexpected...

The General RT43s on my ‘05 Corolla have worn to about 4/32nd after approximately 55k miles. I was on the lookout for tires and Walmart had the sale on the Primewells at $45 ea so I bit the bullet. Corolla is run on Blizzaks November to Mar/Apr. So these tires would be for when tires are for...

Last year I picked up a giant nail in one of the winter tires of my Pathfinder. It held air for the month I needed them until I switched over to the all seasons. Post spring tire changeover, I pulled the nail out and sure enough, it leaked air out quickly. Question is, can I plug this tire? Or...

I bought this 1992 LX178 late last year and it’s been neglected for a while. I’m trying to get it back to a reliable condition. Been doing mostly basic maintenance and have used it to mow the yard the last 3 weeks - each week with something going wrong. Last week I noticed some minor bubbling...

My trusty old Snapper with the B&S Quantum XS engine had a moment yesterday. This is what I use typically in the spring, early Summer and Fall to mow the yard. The engine has been burning oil for the past year now - I usually keep it topped up with 10w40 and check the oil pre mow. Yesterday I...

Had to change the front wheel bearing on the Corolla. So I decided to get the Moog knuckle assembly (Made in China, sigh) instead of messing around with getting just the wheel bearing and have to find a shop to press in/out. While I was in there, I figured I’ll replace the ball joint too since...

I think there was a thread similar to this (screw getting caught towards the outer edge of the tire) in recent past here. This is my all season tires on the Corolla - noticed it when I took them off in Nov. 2022. Tires been sitting face down until I switched back to all seasons today. Hasn’t...

My Samsung smart tv that’s about 5 years old just went kaput. It seems to be in an endless power on/off cycle. Backlight is light, but no video or audio. Unable to control it by the remote or the power button at the back. TV doesn’t have a separate t con board. Did some trouble shooting by the...

What do the folks here think about these tires? The pictures I posted are the worst sections per tire. I was hoping to use them till the end of the season, switch to winter tires and get new all seasons next year as part of switching to bigger brakes. I have a 2,500 miles road trip coming up...

I have a 2011 Pathfinder and I’m having this issue now for the past 2 drive cycles where the abs actuator is constantly cycling irrespective of what speeds I’m driving - incidentally I didn’t drive past 50mph on both drives. So I’m not sure what it would do at highway speeds. Any time I hit the...

Car in question is my 05 corolla. With the recent 0F nights we’ve been having, the batteries are taking a beating here. This morning she gave up half way through the first cranking attempt and had a long crank on the 2nd attempt. After driving the car about 30 miles, local advance auto...

Times are crazy as a lot of you have already pointed out in your threads over here. My original plan was to ride out this insanely hot used car market for a few years in my 2011 R51 Pathy (just over 110k miles). I’m the 2nd owner - first owners clearly didn’t take much care washing the vehicle...

Found these at Target. Anyone here have experience running the FVP 50/50 global antifreeze coolant or the full strength concentrate coolant by FVP? Is it just a dexclone, similar to the yellow Supertech stuff? Engine this would possibly go in a B230FT which already came with many many years of...

I searched to find some recent information on this topic but was unsuccessful. I have a beater 08 Focus with 2.0 which is driven by my brother in college. The car doesn’t get much in the way of love except the occasion oil changes. Ford specs 5w20, but would it be safe to run some of the Chevron...

Hi everyone. I’ve been using the Kirkland Signature 5w30 synthetic oil on my Corolla (1zz-fe) and Pathfinder (vq40) for the past couple of years. The corolla runs 5.5k-6k miles OCI with a Bosch oil filter and the pathfinder runs 4.5-5k miles OCI using Quaker State oil filter that I picked up on...

First post here. I tried the search bar but couldn't find an answer to my question above. 2006 Corolla, 5k OCI. Running ST full synthetic based on positive reviews on this forum. Question about oil filter choice: which one of the above would you pick? I used to use Fram orange can, until I had...
