Some pics of an FVP R1356 filter removed from my son's CRV. Looks like a Wix Napa Pro Select/Silver level filter. It was installed by a car maintenance shop chain in NE. No plans to cut/open it.

Looking for some advise. Vehicle is a 2012 CRV with about 115k miles in good conditions, driven by my son. Vehicle got damaged by hail. No glass was damaged, but hood, roof and some trim pieces have dents. We have not reported the damage to our insurance yet. We were planning to trade it in to...

The wife's CX-5 has lots of glossy plastics inside that are already starting to show scratches and scuff marks. Anything to help polish them off? Thanks

Bought this Napa Gold 7356 filter a while back. Went to use it last week and noticed the defect in the pics below. The can does not appear to be dented or weak in that spot, so I think it is just a [censored] paint job. What do you think? I will probably use it in my Fit at some point.

Anybody has experience with that tire model? Replacing tires for the 2012 Honda CR-V. Thanks

Hello, Just bought a Wix 57356 filter today and it looks different from the other filters I have used (NAPA Silver, NAPA Platinum), specifically the piece of rubber highlighted in the attached picture. It looks like this filter has the up-front bypass valve, I believe. Is that correct? The...

Hello, I owned a Honda HS520 single stage snowblower and looks like I'm having a fuel supply issue with the engine. Here are the symptoms: 1. Whe cold, enging starts fine with choke rod pulled out all the way (Expected behavior) 2. As the engine warms up, I need to adjust the choke rod so...

I've been buying NAPA (Wix) filters for quite some time now and I've been quite impressed with their construction. Unfortunately, today I had to replace the filter installed in my Maxima because it was leaking thru the bottom seam. This filter was from a batch of 4 Proselect filters I bought not...

Did a quick search and could not find any topics on this oil. Stopped by Walmart yesterday and they have this Green Earth Technologies motor oil which is a "bio-based synthetic oil". I'm not a "green-freak", but it is nice to see a biodegradable motor oil alternative showing up. Any info on the...

In the process of removing the 8 4mm screws that hold the float covers in the two carbs in my Yamaha 650, all but one came out with no problems. The one that's left is now stripped . I have tried locking pliers but space is tight and I cannot get a good grip. Have anybody used any damaged screw...

Don't know if that is the right word to describe it but the B&S OHV engine in my Craftsman LT1000 lawn tractor, randomly surprises me with a loud "bang" when I shut it off... I use unleaded regular (89) gas with Seafoam (about 1-1.5 oz per gallon) as a stabilizer. Any idea what could be causing...

Hi, My sister owns a 2003 Santa Fe (no ABS) with about 15k miles in it and twice in the last month she has experience what seems to be a brake system problem. She describes it as like if something is preventing the vehicle from moving. When it happens, she can only go up to 20mph. There is no...

Has anybody in the forum use or own a OBDII product (interface or software) from ScanTool.net? They just released the ElmScan5 that supports all OBDII protocols (including CAN) for a reasonable price so it is pretty tempting. Just wondering it anybody has had good or bad experiences with their...

During the last drain 'n' fill for my '02 Maxima (4 speed auto with 40k miles), I decided to add 1 onz of Lubegard Black to each new quart of Mobil 1 ATF. I had drain 'n' fill this tranny before (about 3 times, at 15k, 20k and 25k miles) with Mobil 1 ATF, also adding 10 onz of Lubegard Red...

I'm starting to do research for what is going to be my next vehicle. I'm looking at compact pick-up trucks. I'm currently considering the new Toyota Tacoma (Double Door/Short Bed) and the new Nissan Frontier (Crew Cab). I have never own or drive a RWD vehicle in the snow. Both vehicles are...

I'm shopping for a battery charger to maintain the 12v battery of my lawn tractor healthy during winter and possibly using it in my vehicles' batteries if needed. It seems the most common brands are Schumacher and Vector. The Schumacher ones a pretty simple and the Vectors bring all kinds of...

Just took ownership of a Honda single-stage snowthrower with a 5hp engine. Suggested oil weight is 5w30 so I'm planning to use some of the same Mobil 1 5w30 I currently buy for my Maxima. Until now I've been using Seafoam as fuel stabilizer/fuel system cleaner in my small engines (lawnmower)...

How many times can you safely resurface rotors? I'm trying to decide if I should take my '02 Maxima (known for rotor warpage, like many other late model vehicles) to my dealer for front rotor warpage. This would be the third time. The first two times (at 15k and then 22k), the rotors were...

Just saw a commercial for the NAPA Nascar Select filters with Spin-Flow technology... What you guys think? Is this just a gimmick or should there be good benefits from such a design? --------------------------------------- GASTONIA, N.C., May 27, 2004 -- Just in time for the summer driving...

I'm currently using Mobil 1 ATF in my '02 Maxima with 25k miles. I have already done two drain and fill services to it (exchanged 4 qts of fluid each time). I'm getting ready for a third ATF exchange at 26k and I'm considering adding a bottle of Lubegard Red to it. Do I need Lubegard if I'm...
