THANK YOU yes! I was once in a Lincoln town car, a limo in Arizona. The odometer read something like 400,000. I asked the driver, He said YES. The car was driven tons of miles, and had oil changes, brakes, etc as usual. It looked sparkly clean, too. that meant, an oil change something like...

good morning! A local mechanic I trust is doing my oil change, etc, today. My 2 year old Acura RDX says to change the brake fluid. he does not believe in that, and has a Honda with 250,000 miles, no change. Is this right? I think it possible that getting water in the fluid could lead to brake...

THANK YOU EVERYONE! the dealer fixed it, free of charge. she said it took 4 hours, and THINKS that they cleaned the valve. it still seems early to me to have carbon deposit in a big way at 35,000 miles best regards bob

My daughter wants to keep her forester long term. 2017, bought in 2016. around 47,000 miles. lots of short trips. OK, I have done all brakes and tires. oil changes, cabin and engine air filters. just did one wheel bearing in the rear. car is never garaged. always out in the cold Mass. winters...

hi! just got a new RDX. sort of dark metallic blue. I am sure that a $2,000 professional ceramic coating is best. friend got one looks great. I love it, but will not pay that amount. Is there a reasonable do it myself ceramic I can try! I DO believe ceramic is way better than wax. thanks...

hi guys! Just wanted to ask the same question again! Just got a new Acura RDX. was keeping wife Accord forever, but it was totaled. I THINK Acura says leave the new oil in for 5,000 miles. (more moly in the engine assembly?????) I feel a strong tendency to replace sooner if that is right...
