Even Amsoil claims that their CVT fluid can be used in both applications when Honda says they are incompatible.

You would think they would know better than I that the fluids are incompatible. The honda CVT fluid bottle even says on the back not to use it in HCF-2 applications.

For what it's worth I have a 09 Civic Hybrid and my dad put Valvoline CVT fluid in it before I bought it from him. BIG mistake, the shudder was unreal when starting out, I did a double drain and fill with the Honda OE CVT fluid and the transmission has been happy ever since. The bottle clamid it...

I have always loved the B1. When I was a kid they were stationed at McConnell and we would see them fly over all the time. It was pretty awesome when they had the afterburners on.

Too late, The forward sprag is gone. An additive is not going to fix broken hard parts

I came here to say this. Why is it so hard to make an integrated dash. Sticking a square tablet on top of the dash is just lazy

I have a buddy who is a regional manager for Jiffy Lube. First off he says most of the lube techs they get are idiots, and second he said they don't make money on oil changes. He says they make money on all the addtional stuff they sell.

Did they not replace the condenser and expansion valve too? My mom had a 2014 Tucson that had an A/C compressor fail. I replaced the compressor for her but when you replace a failed compressor you also have to replace the expansion valve and the condenser and thoroughly flush the evaporator. The...

Total wireless uses the Verizon network, unlimited talk text and 60 Gb of shared data. 3 lines for $80.70 I have had them for a few years with almost no complaints
