After many years driving higher performance cars on both the road and track have settled in with a couple of options. For regular road use if happy and you are familiar/content with performance replace with manufacturer original. Don't stray; you know what you have. Not the most cost...

Interesting. Didn't realize you could do that. Nice feature! Of course, assumes an honest and competent owner.

If you change your own oil/filter Carfax will NOT record it. Report may look like oil/filter has never been changed. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Don't risk it without tuning off the main breaker. No need to be working "live". Then use protection as discussed in addition. A full jolt can kill you!

Just renewed mine. % shown in the table looks close but a little conservative here in MI.

What, no 4th and 5th?

M1 108A on my Triumph Thruxton motorcycle, 10+ years and all good.

Daughter lives in France outside Paris in the country and purchased a similar Duster last year. Great economy vehicle, good value. Basic engineering so easier to fix but does have an ECM. Small engine has enough power to get around, including on motorways while not being thirsty. So many...

I like to record stuff for later viewing at my convenience, like the F1 GP Series. Have only found Direct TV, Comcast and WOW with this capability. All pricey but provide a variety of packages at different prices. Depending on needs a ton of choices, but few allow recording like the old days...
