Evening BITOG, So I’m looking for the source of a pooling-on-the-skidplate leak in the ‘02 Tundra 4.7 in my sig. earlier this year the OEM radiator blew up during a heatwave and was immediately replaced with a new Denso, 5k miles later that’s still in great shape. When I first saw antifreeze...

My sig ‘09 Accord 3.5 v6 has only 40k miles but is on the original belt, I’m going back and forth on whether I should replace it with the Aisin kit now, or wait until 60kish? What does the BITOG brain trust think? I’ve seen these things with 200k and 20yrs on the original belts, but I also know...

Posted in trans/diff forum but later realized I should have posted here. Got an odd one, did a topside exchange on a Ford AX4N fwd 4 speed in a 2002 Conti and now have a small drip at the pan (it seems). I siphoned 8qts out of the ~10qt pan and poured back 8qts of Supertech Mercon V, drove it a...

Hello BITOG Got an odd one, did a topside exchange on a Ford AX4N fwd 4 speed in a 2002 Conti and now have a small drip at the pan (it seems). I siphoned 8qts out of the ~10qt pan and poured back 8qts of Supertech Mercon V, drove it a few hundred miles with some mountain and HEAVY Socal...

Hello BITOG, As I approach 100k in my ‘13 RX350 AWD i am getting ready for another transmission fluid service (first was a 12qt line exchange at 50k, this'll be a drain and fill with WS) I am curious if anyone has experience with the filters inside these transmissions. I've seen mixed...

Morning Bitog, My 09 Accord v6 has a harmonic rumble at 70-75 only. It had it when i I acquired it from a relative so first thing I did was replace the old tires with brand new Michelin premier a/s, and even after a few rebalances at a couple different places, all agreeing with each other that...

Evening BITOG My 09 Accord is drinking fuel like a large SUV, it has 29k miles and has been averaging about 17mpg in mixed driving lately. I just did the brakes, front and rear, and the calipers are not dragging anywhere, new air filter, tire pressure 33psi all around, ran a tank of techron...

Well BITOG brain trust the bug has me again... Lately I've been swooning over the late update w211 E55s as a fun daily/highway beast. I'm certainly familiar with MBZ as I've been driving an M113 v8 Benz of roughly that vintage forever (and it won't be going anywhere, but it'd be nice to have...

It looks like we’re going to be in the market for a SAFE sedan that doesn’t break the bank, my CLK has been great with the exception of the early 2000s MB catalytic converters, I’ve had my eye on replacing my tin cannish Accord with a 2009 E350, probably just rwd for reliability and simplicity...

Hello, Who or what do you all like for white paint? I’ve used Poor Boys Blackhole in dark charcoal Toyota paint before and it worked awesome, I then threw some 3m Performance Finish on top to keep it nice all year, but the white paint on my Honda, while still looking good for its age, has some...

Hello all I've been having a low speed wobble in the wheel when returning to center, as well as when taking long sweeping turns at low speed. So far I've replaced the tires with new Michelin Primer A/S tires and had the alignment done, as well as balanced (and re-balanced) the tires, but to no...

What say the brain-trust? We looked at a certified '14 Venza v6 AWD limited the other day and were pretty impressed overall, I wanted to get opinions from those who've owned one? The only thing I didn't like was the panoramic roof (I hate sunroofs too as a rule, but most everything has them...

...what say the BITOG brain trust? Basically I would be looking at a CPO GS, drove one several months back and was definitely impressed, it was AWD, but I'm struggling with whether I'd go that route or stick with RWD as we are going to be moving out of the Pacific Northworst within a year and...

So my '05 Accord V6 with 105k has started burning a little oil, about 1qt every 2k miles. I know this isn't a huge amount, but still somewhat surprising as I've taken really good care of this thing since new, 7500 mile oil changes with M1 5w20 syn and either Wix or A01 Honda filters at each...

Happy Saturday BITOG So it's almost that time again, detailing for the summer. Over the last few years I've been using 3M Performance Finish paint sealant on all my cars, and it seems to be working great. Fortunately I am looking at a move soon OUT of the Pacific NorthwOrst to head to sunnier...

The synthetic oil in a classic car thread got me thinking... My dad has a nice 1970 Chevelle SS with the big block 396 engine, it's been rebuilt about 10 years ago and has a bit oh head work, some carb work, and a little bit hotter cam (among other things like long-tube headers and such), so...

So I am getting ready to do an oil change in my Accord, it's coming up on 10k miles and I'd like to get it done when I can catch a break in the rain. Currently it's god a D+ and Mobil 1 5w20 in the sump. I know the Bosch Premium are P1, not really interested in risking that going forward...

PP 7k mile report for my 2006 4runner V6. Lots of stop-and-go driving on this report, plenty of "off-road" use in the mountains in 4wd, deep snow and logging trails. Overall looks good according to Blackstone. I used an OEM filter, currently running another OEM filter and Mobil 1 5w30 from...

Here's the sample report for my 4runner. I got trigger happy and decided to send a sample in at only 2,700 to see how things looked, it was my first sample ever after all. Sounds like all is well, I plan on doing 7,500 miles on this oil and OEM filter, then running a sample again.
