good morning! Just had a nice local mechanic do all four tires. Subaru Forester. He said he likes "middle of the road" tires, like General and Firestone. He did all four, balance, etc for about $800 I think that is a good price, do you? Is there any need for me to pay more for Michelin? I...

fantastic: THANK you for telling me the silicon is OK Javier: this from someone:Please note that the SH-AWD rear differential has some hydraulic circuitry in there together with a small electric pump, wood: I wanted to test the oil by sample, NOT by changing it to see if I had a lot, or any...

good morning! OK,, have a new RDX. changed out the factory oil at 5,000 miles. now 7,000 miles. code B6 came up that seems like rear differential fluid. Is that pretty early? should I do it? I AM going to keep this car long term. have a great day! thanks. bob

THANK YOU EVERYONE! I have no ego about this, and I AM here to learn. from all your comments, I think: 1. I am being safe and conservative with oil changes. Next, I will run the Mobil 1 I just put in LONGER, and test. maybe I can test oil without changing, like use a pump. No one is worried...
