So after waiting 5 months for a Toyota Venza of our liking(color/interior/trim level) to arrive at our dealership, we have now owned/driven our '23 Venza LE for 7 months and this is my review. We had to put in an order for a Venza as the 2-3 Venza's on any Toyota dealer lots were all spoken...

Interesting topic: How old is too old for keeping oil around the shop, garage or tool shed out in the back yard? What is you opinion of additive fallout? Do you shake your containers before adding the oil to the engine?

When your TPMS light is on, do you loose Traction Control/Stability Control also? * In other words, I want to put on winter/snows with their own wheels that have NO TPMS sensors in the wheels. Will I loose Traction/Stability Control due to the TPMS light being illuminated? There are incidents...

I’m just curious as to who does not bother to change out their automatic transmission fluid in your personal vehicles/daily drivers, be they CVTs, Dual Clutch, or Step Shift automatic tranny? Also, What is your success rate meaning, how many miles/kilometers do you put on your vehicles Without...

I'll be selling/trading the Altima soon however, I still need some new brakes in the meantime. So, I prayed first! 🙏 I ordered some F & R brake pads & rotors for the Altima from RockAuto. I had an email from RA as to some closeout parts of all types for the 2015 Altima so I ordered all brake...

...by the vehicles that are on the market today. FYI This subject could(IMO) also be put into the "General/Off Topic" section as well however, I've chose to place it here. IDK if I should even write this: Usually when we're looking for a new/new to us vehicle(which we are looking), we're...

This may have been posted and certainly been discussed over the years. But here is another way to explain & understand motor oils. I found this interesting and even better to understand for me.

I was pulling into the grocery store last night and hit a pot hole as I entered the parking lot. The passenger rear took the brunt of the beating and it broke the passenger rear lower control arm on the 2015 Nissan Altima in my signature. I didn't see the pot hole and my front tire apparently...

Well, we've been testing other SUVs while we're waiting for a suitable 2023 VENZA to arrive locally or that the dealer can do a dealer swap. We drove a 2023 Honda CR-V and I liked it but for the most part we'veremoved it from our list. This CR-V had 19" wheels/tires This CR-Vs price in top trim...

I'm not sure if this section is the optimal section for this subject but it can be changed by the Mod's if need be.

UPDATE: So, I took a test-drive in a new 2023 Venza XLE. We want the base LE(cloth interior & 18" tires)~ $35K. We really like the style of the new VENZA. To my surprise, the dealer sales rep offered to let me take it home and show my wife and let her give it a go as my wife wasn't able to come...

After doing our automotive research for a new vehicle, my wife & I have narrowed down our choice to the VENZA and have put down a $500 refundable deposit(in writing) and have been put on a waiting list. Keeping in mind that this transaction is contingent on a test-drive and a look over. Not...

My wife & I went to our local Rochester International Auto Show at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center(2 floors of vehicles). We typically try to go to this event every year but March can deal some "in like a lion" weather that prevents us from traveling into the city. We were able to go...

Main Question: Has Mazda changed the CAF location on their newer vehicles? The reason that I ask is: My daughter owned a 2006 Mazda3i and I never changed the CAF in her 9 years('09-'18) of ownership just because it was about a 4 hour job to remove so many parts behind the center console behind...

Another legend leaves us.

After grocery shopping and walking our shopping cart to the car, I remote(key fob) started the car(Altima in sig) from the store exit. It started fine and I could see the lights flash. As I got closer to the car, I remote popped the trunk and it opened so I could load the groceries. Once loaded...

I'd like to setup my own CarFax Account...apparently I have one. I keep getting emails from CarFax and I can never get into the account although the email is alway spot on. At one time, through the email from CarFax, I was able to put in some maintenance information but, not anymore. Is there a...

My SIL has a pressure washer that she bought 6 years ago and has never changed the oil. It has a B&S Professional 190cc/8.50 lb.ft. engine on it and I believe is say to never change the oil...only add oil. Her PW is not the one in the like but, very close...

My Altima in signature has an AC refrigerant leak. I’ve topped it off 2X recently. When using a gas sniffer, is the sniffer detecting the refrigerant or the dye? I went to a shop today to make an appt to check my system and through our discussion, the tech told my that they don’t use a gas leak...

I was hoping to read a better review on the Altimax RT45 but I was disappointed from what I read on the TireRack. They didn't hate it but, the RT45 wasn't the top performer in its particular tire & price category. It was just kind'a Ho-Hum! Have any of you seen the review? And what is your take...
