I cannot quite make out what those tires are?

What is the best way to cut open an oil filter, without getting metal shavings in the contents of the filter?? Serious question.

Yeah.. she already does.. everywhere she goes..

I was going to get a 1958, but my girlfriend told me I couldn’t get white, or black… because those colors are on every car in the parking lot.. she picked the blue, and I was instantly hooked. My plan was to get a 1958, which would do everything that I needed, and more, and have Katskinz do...

Is it sick to love a car?

If my foot is on the gas pedal, at all, the ICE kicks in.

Welcome to the forum Imwong!

TL;DNR 😬 After the all too common, and significant waiting period, and then problems with my bank (KeyBank) not letting me access my own money, I finally picked Miss Daisy up on 7/29/2024. LC FE, Heritage Blue, 18” with Michelins. I love her. This winter, I will most likely switch over to...

I just noticed this yesterday, when backing up, with the steering wheel turned to the left. I haven’t tried it with the wheel turned to the right yet. 😬😤😖

I already did…

One of the inmates on this forum, @bgeorger, is making them, and selling them for a very reasonable price.

Never. Again.

Next on my watch list. . .

I was a BETA tester on the 2015 Ford Transit Van, 1 ton. Biggest mistake I have ever made. I blindly trusted Ford. Biggest mistake I have ever made. I think Toyota is in a whole different league, than Ford. I feel like I made the right choice. Time will tell.

The Car Care Nut has stated that Exxon (Mobil 1) makes the Toyota oil, to specs set by Toyota. He states that the bottles of Toyota oil are shaped identical to the Mobile 1 bottles, and that it is okay to use Mobil 1 if Toyota branded oil is not available. When I picked up MIss Daisy at the...

It seems that any car that sits idling at the port, has long since had ample opportunity to ‘burn off’ the gasoline in the oil, after being driven for ~1,000 miles. I wonder if somehow the one or both of the gasoline injection processes, with our fancy hybrids, in which the ICE shuts down at...

Sometimes it takes Blackstone 4 to 6 weeks, or even longer, to actually analyze the oil.. SMDH. I have used Blackstone since ~2012. All of Miss Daisy’s ail analysis will be done by the Motor Oil Geek.. Lake Speed Jr., who has a much faster turnaround time.. https://www.speediagnostix.com/

The Motor Oil Geek on YT says that the high silicone levels on the first (early) oil change(s) is because of all the sealants that they use when assembling the engine at the plant.

My next purchase… Did you have Michelins? If so, do you notice any degradation of ride quality, increased tire noise, or decrease of fuel economy?

As it should. . .

It’s very hard to say. Some of the QC is to fix the sun roof drains. Then there is a shortage of FE roof racks, and no telling what else.

33 psi all the way around..

I can’t even pick my nose or that nanny thing beeps at me. Even when I use my left arm to steer, with it at the 1 - 2 o’clock position on the steering wheel. It beeps at me.

What button are you ‘clicking’?

I would keep checking them. I did the same. Now they are back up to 34 front, 35 in the rear. So I will keep checking and adjusting them in the morning hours, before driving away.

I think that stuff is referred to as 80/20… big rabbit hole you are about to go down.

Like glitter???

IIRC, your oil should not smell like gas…
