How many miles are you running the oil in your Harley? Sounds like big miles between changes. Ha ha...You do you! As Lake Jr always says, usage dictates chemistry (or something to that effect). You best run that expensive botique oil.

As mentioned above, if the system has stop leak in it, repair shop evacuation/recharge equipment will detect the foreign material (stop leak) and shut down. If the car in question is on the path towards the scrapyard in a couple of years, I'd day go ahead with the stop leak and dumping in a...

Incorrect assumption. If people have an engine that burns oil from new, that's a bad engine. It is not the oil's fault. And your mentioning these engines having run high quality oil from day one supports that. I recently stocked up with Kirkland oil after their last sale, and I'm perfectly...

Agree. No stop leak. And check the can close, some include other stuff that's not pure refrigerant. Not sure if they do this with R134A, but they do it with R1234YF. Worst case, it doesn't work, but that's where the dye comes in, to help you find the source for round two.

4.2 quarts is about average I'd say. My old Nissan sentra was less than 3 quarts. That, was disappointing.

Glad to hear he found something that works for him. While I don't push myself like I used to, back in my heavy bicycling years, I've learned that there are many different aspects to "hydration". Work in the yard, mow the grass, hiking, stuff like that can lead to dehydration. Water is all...

Nuuns tablets. Good hydration drink. Minimal sugar. One downside: they are not cheap.

That's my understanding.

Come on, man, you already know the answer... High octane should, maybe, hopefully, reduce the piston melting problem. The OP's engine already has more than 90k miles, though. Fingers crossed for him...

Eric specifically stated that the early 1.5T was prone to burning pistons, but GM applied some update, yet the engine in his later teardown was likewise affected.

The Youtube "I Do Cars" dude, Eric, has done teardowns a couple of times on those 1.5T's, and he commented that they melt their pistons. Said GM made changes, but they still do it. I'm not positive where the truth lies, but it seems that using something like Valvoline Restore and Protect would...

The oil has acid buffers, I don't think the oil turning acidic over the winter is a big issue on a low usage vehicle like the OP has. I'd leave the oil for two years or so. As an aside, bringing older motorcycles out of long term storage is one of my hobbies. I've worked on several bikes that...

Unrelated to your post above, but on the reddit Civic sub, one day people get downvoted for not following the Maintenance Minder, and the next day everyone is saying change the CVT fluid at 30k miles. Which way is the wind blowing today?

Looks like you prefer Pennzoil!

Push the throttle pedal like any other car, and drive.

4612 fits, but it's shorter, and has less capacity.

Better double check. Info I can find suggests the 2025 Pilot takes the common 7317 Honda filter. Pentius PLXL7317

I recently moved from RedPocket to US Mobile, and it was a somewhat painful process. Had to chat more than once to get it done. I think, mostly RP holding things up. Don't wait until the last day... I went Warp on USM. Three bars where I live, but then, I'm on wifi in the home, so that...

I like this video. ETA 2824 is high quality, and quite popular, you should be able to find a good sample for cheap to learn on. I want to try, but my hands shake some. Not sure I could be successful.
