We had our 2023 CR-V Sport since last April, and completely agree with your post. It does get about 5 mpg less in the winter, but upper 20's hwy, and mid to upper 30's city is still pretty good. We also like VW a lot, and when renting vehicles always try to get a VW if available. The main...

Thanks for the replies. I took a closer look at the tires and discovered that the factory tires are all stamped made in USA, and the tire I bought says made in Korea. So hopefully its just a softer grade of rubber on that tire and not an alignment issue.

2023 Honda Cr-v did not have a spare, so bought a factory full size rim and matching tire and do a 5 tire rotation, rather than have a donut spare. Hankook Kinergy gt 235/60 r 18 Did the first rotation at 5000 miles, currently have 7300. The tire I bought is wearing much faster than the...

Just got a new set of Dirt Devils for our Polaris. The Carlisle that came with it had decent wear left but didn't perform well even when they were new, but got really bad once the squared lugs rounded off a little.

Curious if your Civic 2.0 NA is the same engine as the current gen CR-V 2.0 NA? We have 4000 miles on our CR-V and happy to report no rising oil level and still looks new when wiping dipstick on white paper towel, and tailpipe is clean and not black and sooty. Hopefully Honda is getting the DI...

Thanks for the replies. It looks like a mix of 5k-7k, and follow the Maintenance minder.

So you go with a flat 7000k interval, and not follow the maintenance minder? What percent is it typically at when you change it?

Its nice to hear the miles you got out of it going with long intervals. We do have the 3/4 mile short trips that can be difficult to factor in the interval based on miles.

Thanks, that does sound like a simple an easy to remember routine.

I had considered the improvements in modern oil, but its still difficult to break old habits.

Thanks for the feedback 5k does seem like a common and safe interval. I am curious why Honda and other manufactures are stretching it well beyond that... are they just looking to make it past warranty and trying to say how efficient they are, or is the longer interval truly fine, and we can...

2023 Honda CR-V sport 2.0 NA Our first Honda and trying to figure out an ideal oil change interval. Following the maintenance minder would be nice to take the guess work out of when to do service, but it looks like the interval will be much longer than the "severe service" of 3750 miles or 6...

I know a few people that live on SS alone thinking that it was designed to cover their retirement expenses. They don't live comfortably. But add a million that is well diversified and 60/40, and use the common 4% withdrawal rate, you would have $40,000 plus SS before taxes... I would be...

I can give a perfect example of why "most are just trying to get by" Myself and my coworker. We both make the same wage, close to 60k annual, and live in the same community, but my wife chose to stay home and not work, and his wife works full time, so his household income is much larger then...

-10f this morning and it started right up sitting overnight in a nonheated shed. The engine light is not on anymore. Went to Autozone for a free scan... P2016 : intake manifold runner position sensor/switch circuit low bank 1 They didn't know what parts I would need for that code. Made a few...

I took a different approach and only put what the employer matched in the 401, 4%, and max out roth when I heard about that, and put everything I could in a regular taxable account and paying off house. I wanted to be able to "retire" at a younger age than the typical 62-67. At 46 I am feeling...

Thanks for the reply's. Going to Look for a scanner tomorrow and post back what it says.

would it still run normal if it was a crank position sensor? We drove 80 the last hundred miles with a 20 mph head wind, so it has plenty of power left.

Not faster than normal, just trying to rule out a weak battery issue.

2012 Hyundai Santa Fe 3.5 v6 just turned 70,000 miles Was on the way to visit family about 170 miles away, and stopped after 60 miles for a quick pit stop and it wouldn't start. Spun over fast. Tried stepping on gas while cranking. Looked under hood, not sure what to look for, just tried...
