Lets talk about new vehicles

Hard to do any proper trading with that thing squawking as well I would think.

Yeah but it's McDonald's not Wendy's

Not as polished as Motormouth but they have Mitsubishi sympathy too.
The guy likes it like me and WRK do...

I picked up a new 2025 Honda Accord EX-L Hybrid tonight and fought over getting the Turbo motor since they claimed the Hybrid had dismal highway mpgs...

A lack of some options on the lower trims forced me into a EX-L

I also realize from YT videos people just get dismal mpgs on Hybrids..
Constantly complaining and I drive them as I drive everything else and . mostly all highway... not trying to get mpgs and usually get stellar results...

Driving home tonight with the AC blasting and over 90% highway and I got 58.8 mpgs over the 27 mile drive...the car only has 39 miles on it..... the sticker claims 41 mpg highway..... oh well .....what they are doing I'll never know.... And I never use the Eco mode....it ain't worth the drama....

Like the flat gray for this car and other car makers . Very good looking vehicle with large trunk space . Gas mileage not bad as well . Enjoy !

Yeah, the flat gray is nice but where do you get a matching filter?

You’re in the clear to roll with the cool kids! Your favorite, the Fram Tough Guard, comes in gray. Sweet!

Thread 'TG 3614 C&P Under 50 hrs use OPE'

Apr 20, 2024

Mowed today and figured I'd change the oil. Really wanted to take look at that TG..
It was fine and the oil was fine as well.
I easily tore the pleats with very little effort. None were tore in service. The end caps were solid and no delamination. The oil will twist a few tonsils here but it's old and I got it for $10... For Stude a K&N 20k select went on and MPT in...

Thanks. I have a TG on my tractor. Been on for three years. Guess I will spin it off this fall. I'll look for a Premium Guard to fit.

You should cut it too

I hear lore that the Honda service part filter is a FRAM Extra Guard in a Blue can

So what you're really saying is you're a bigger man than Pablo.....right?

In bodily mass only. My Maverick seats scream when I sit on them,

Pablo's the man!

No I have old wire backed 7317 Ultras and after that the Mitsubishi Denso filters which are stellar.

Smells like a plan. Those Carquest red gaskets smack of Commie to me. And they are. Not paying Ten bucks for a $3.50 filter.

Would you run a Mitsu filter on the Honda or just for the Mitsu. Too many new cars!
I forget what we are even talking about!.

They both take 7317 and clones
Lucky me and I have many flavors here and not real old

I don't buy Carquest filters although I have a store nearby
I like the EG-PG filters though and those Mitsubishi OEM from Ebay for a good price...
