Just changed oil myself for the first time on this car with Castrol LL 508.00 approved 0W-20. This UOA was from the 2nd dealer change (included with purchase price of car). It's better than I thought it would be!

Hi All, Time for new tires on wife's 2016 Honda Pilot EXL - AWD. Size is 245-60/18. Current worn tires are Michelin Defender LTX, which we love in all regards except for impact harshness; gonna fix that now. Looking to buy Continental CrossContact LX25's but can't decide between H or T rating...

almost 150K on clock for this sample. Honda Filtech oil filter

Thought I'd replace PCV valve since I'm close to 60,000 miles. After removal of old, I'll just wait until 100,000 mi. Posting photo of old and new valves side-by-side since there is always some interest in this newer Honda motor. Top valve is new:

2013 Accord I4 6MT Sedan 52,000 miles on car 33mpg average for this OCI [/URL][/img]

Was driving through Indiana last week and got stopped for 71 in a 55. It was after dark and my 2013 Honda Accord has WI plates. I handed the trooper my license & reg expecting the worst; he returned after 5 minutes with a written warning and said, "I'm cutting you a break - please slow down"...

Here we go: 2013 Honda Accord Sedan, EX with 6MT. I took this sample at her second oil change with OLM = 15%. About 9 weeks and 10K miles on this interval, so I am driving her like she was meant to be driven! Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Just bought new Accord: 2013 EX sedan with 2.4L direct injection and 6-speed manual. I will be following maint. minder. Putting on 45K per year, I'm sure that's at least 10K intervals. I have some M1 0W-20 in my stash but thinking of using my remaining PP and PU 5W-20 that I had stashed for my...

Got a call from them inviting me to open house. Online research agrees with my gut instinct that it has a rather high membership cost and open house is similar to a timeshare presentation. Any BITOG opinions? Thanks in advance.

I snapped these photos at Road America in Elkhart Lake, WI. I have some misc. racing photos and a few other cars if anyone's interested. The car featured below has 60 HP! Not sure what oil he's running...

I just rented an 08 Avalon with only 7000 miles (not broken in). It was the Touring model: tighter suspension, HID's, leather interior AND I got 29 mpg over the 675 miles that I drove it! It suits my needs better than my current Camry and I am considering one for my next car. My only worry...

Might have found a sweet deal on a 2006 Accord V6, 6-speed w/Navi and only 10 miles. Not sure if a car sitting for that long would be prone to problems. I'm sure I'd detect flat-spotted tires on a test drive so I'm mainly concerned with potential drivetrain issues. I'd Auto-RX it right away...

I've recently become interested in billiards (playing at a friends home) and I'd like to buy a table for my finished basement. The area I have set aside is 14' x 22' so I am comfortable that an 8' x 4' table with 52" cues will be playable. I'm looking at a new Olhausen Americana or Kasson...

Just bought my first 2-stage snowthrower (Simplicity 8 hp Briggs, 24" cut). Man, can't wait to use it! The counterman where I bought it told me to stay away from Stabil (since it's "just" Isopropanol) and use the Fuel Fresh recommended and repackaged by Briggs & Stratton. Any opinions?

I'm renting a Maxima with their Xtronic CVT. It performs well and is fun to drive; seems pretty reliable based on an internet search. Does anyone love or hate this transmission? Just like to hear any first-hand experience.

My wife just got an '06 Highlander (4 Cyl, 2WD) and I'd like to put snow tires/rims on for the winter. I think the Tire Pressure Monitoring System works by comparing speed of each wheel to known speed of a properly inflated tire/wheel. Can anyone confirm this? I'm hoping that the car does...

Since the recent cryogenic treatment (last few days close to zero F), my Camry has started squeaking over bumps. It squeaks over a slow speedbump or over a faster dip in the road. Seems worse in the rear but present in front, too. Just curious, anyone have the same problem and what was...

In my travels, I have seen: - Sub sandwiches - Tater Tots - Pizza - Onion Rings - Quesadillas - Bacon-wrapped hot dogs - Bacon-wrapped krab sticks I'm sure they were just trying to please the discriminating palate of their customers - more power to them!

Lately, I cannot get enough Sushi! I lived in CA for 10 years and really developed a taste for it there; and it was always fresh (as if you could stand it any other way ) I now live in Wisconsin and I'm surprised to have found a place that rival's CA's best. My favorites are: Unagi (BBQ...
