    Pocket knife recommendations?

    I assume this is the place to ask. A couple years ago I got my father a knife (Buck was the brand, I believe) that he absolutely loved. I think it was more the fact that I bought it for him than anything. Well, a week ago he was using it to try and pry something out and broke the tip off. He was...

    My Auto-RX Real World Test

    I originally created the thread below to seek opinions on an OCI length for my cousin's 2000 Nissan Pathfinder V6. Shortly afterwards, I discovered that she actually had a sludge problem which was quite evident by looking through the oil fill hole. The thread can be seen here...

    New Amsoil Synthetic 60wt Motorcycle Oil

    It says "new" on the website, but I am not sure how long it has been available. http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/mcs.aspx Any thoughts on this new oil? Possible/Likely base stocks? I am considering switching my Shovelhead over to this from 60wt Valvoline VR1. It looks promising and they...

    OCI for a 2000 Nissan Pathfinder V6 with PP?

    My cousin bought a Pathfinder with about 75k miles on its second engine a few months ago and is about to need an oil change. I don't know much about Nissans, but from what I have read on BITOG, it seems like they are hard on oil. She will be buying PP with the $5 coupon and will likely be buying...

I installed new duralast ceramic pads and rotors on my accord about 2000 miles ago (max) and the rotors have developed grooves on 3 out of 4 of them. Only...

    Replacing brakes on an '01 Accord

    Well, my brakes started singing to me the other day, so i checked out the pads and they are rather worn. I will be replacing both the pads and rotors myself and wanted to know if anyone has had any experience replacing the brakes on this generation of Accord. I have tried searching for a solid...

    Overfilling on purpose?

    My usual OCIs are around 5k and my car burns approximately 1/4-1/2 quart between oil changes (depending on how I drive). Is it at all harmful to overfill the sump by 1/2 quart on the initial fill in order to avoid frequent top-offs? Does anyone do this? My Accord's sump is 4.5 quarts and this...

    Oil filter options for 15k oci

    I've been lurking for a quite a while and I finally have a legitimate question. I have a 2001 Honda Accord 2.3l with about 138k miles on it. It uses very little oil (maybe 1/4 quart every 5k miles). I drive approximately 70-100 miles a day with about 75% of my average driving being highway. I...
