    Oil filter wrench size Part Deux

    I have an AST TOY 640 which is 64mm with 14 flats. It works perfectly for the filter cap on a 2010 Corolla and for the filters on a 2000 Prizm. It would not work on my 2015 Civic. For the Civic I use a 65mm/14 flats cap wrench, which fits fine on a Fram TG7317.

    Two Different Connection Speeds

    You might check another item say your cell phone or a tablet to see if the results are similar.

    2010 Avalon vs 2013 Corolla

    I owned a 2010 Corolla for 5 years. Perhaps the most recalled Corolla ever. It was reliable. I did not like the 4 speed automatic, downshifts at highway speeds I found annoying. The steering was vague at best. In town not bad, on the highway it was not much fun. The trunk lid was lightly sprung...

    Do you have special assessments?

    They are used in my part of Kansas. The special assessments involve the costs to construct the water, sanitary sewer, storm water sewer, mass grading and streets in sub-divisions. I believe the idea is that money required to do this work comes from city issued bonds and interest incurred is...

    You might already be aware of a MoCA system. I read about this several years back but I did not pursue it. Just offering an option. It may not fit your needs. https://www.pcworld.com/article/1949534/moca-as-a-fast-alternative-to-powerline-and-wlan-this-is-how-it-works.html Best of luck

    Oil changes for warranty

    I have bought oil filters in bulk. I buy oil at oil change time. I keep the oil filter box, flatten it, write the date and miles on the box with a sharpie and staple the receipt for the oil to it. Place it in a folder.

    T-Mobile Home Internet

    You should look at their site. I believe the original $50 includes 12 months of service. If you want 911 service I have paid about $12 a year for this. They offer opportunities to purchase service. I purchased 36 months for less than $128. So $128/36=$3.55 per month plus a buck for 911 = $4.55...

    T-Mobile Home Internet

    I purchased a magicjack and use if for my home phone. I know nobody uses a home phone. But it is very cheap. The call quality and clarity are great. I have no spam calls. The cost is very reasonable.

    Fixing hardie plank siding?

    I am sorry to see the Hardie siding do this. I have the same material on my home. Perhaps the planks between the windows have been installed too tightly against the window frames. Expansion due to heat is happening and the force is creating the cracks. This is just speculation on my part.

    Change jobs from a short commute to a long one?

    From your signature, you are not a kid. You might be about 1/2 to 2/3 through your working years. This is a family discussion. I suppose this place might give you a bit of perspective to sway a wife or family member of the merits of what I believe you have already decided to do. Understand the...

    350 TBI Oil Recommendations?

    I would be more concerned about the transmission and when or if the timing chain and gears have been replaced.

    DIY concrete expertise/questions

    There is nothing fast about 2 bags at a time. The first 2 bags you mixed will be curing by the time you get to the last 2 bags. You want concrete to be placed and finished at about the same time.

    DIY concrete expertise/questions

    Do yourself a favor and have it delivered by a ready mix truck. You will have a better product. You can have it placed and finished in a fraction of the time you would use buying the mix, handling the mix into a truck, off the truck, into the mixer etc. The most difficult part will be...
