Planning to change the oil on daughter's Subaru - got sticker shock regards the price of an oil filter that was $ 4 a year back, now is going for $12 . Bought 5 qts jug Supertech oil recently at Wally Mart and it was $2 more than some months back, understandable . And Wally Mart's own brand...

"FINALLY MY TURN AT 43,000 MILES!" The old adage applies good things come to those who wait ? however I tend to side with the gent pictured below. And for me with respect to tranny temps, another old adage applies : out of sight out of mind.

That's exactly why I elect to use vape pens, keeps my intake system nice and clean, might have to start using prevagen to counteract the brain fog

What AI says, back in the day I never gave it a 2nd thought about why a capacitor was called a condenser, AI references Ben Franklins early experiments with electricity, just finished a book about Doctor Franklin. A condenser is simply an older, historical term for a capacitor. [1] Why the...

I think IIRC there is a guy on here that posted he hasn't bothered to change his oil in years, so his baseline for drivability never changes irrespective of type of oil used. Back in the day when I was doing car work for friends I did a tune up (points, plugs, condenser) adjust timing and...

Headed out towing my TT tomorrow, it's a rare rainy day here so was considering bleeding the brakes, never have done this to the Ranger, but do know the brake pedal has a good amount of travel in it but the brake light switch engages with slight pressure, when I tow this activates the trailer...

FYI more facebook vid on Jeeps doing Black Bear Pass (one way only travel) above Telluride, even some shorter wheelbase vehicles need to back up to navigate the turns, 2 yrs back went up Imogene Pass, it was very busy and encountered several full sized pickups that had to execute multiple...

this occasion warrants posting one of my fav pics, CEO Jim Farley in a touchy feely mood, personally I don't think I'd feel safe around the guy......

Problem with CVT is they are limited to the amount of torque and payload they can handle, Subaru has one of the better CVTs - wife has a 2025 Outback XT and it is quieter and performs better than I had expected. In reading about CVTs - when they fail it's often catastropic and don't get...

ok you took the high ground and admitted to all your interest in an EV, is it possible what you really yearn for is.........a cyber truck , as it's been oft said on here, you only go around once.

Lots and lots of vids of landslides closing US 550 in the Ouray/Silverton area, and one of a vehicle stuck on Black Bear Pass. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1049268680900655 https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=black%20bear%20pass%20mudslide

Yeah it does as does less regulation and a stable one party gov , ostensibly communist ruled country but in reality have embraced capitalism. 2nd most billionaires in the world >500 and less than half the nat'l debt of the US which is now close to $40 tril - daily cost of US debt service is...

You bring up some good points regards cost and somewhere in the thread someone mentioned they were opposed to EVs because of gov subsidies that favored the wealthy ( who would think the wealthy ever get preferential treatment) but IIRC correctly the subsidies were largely in the form of credits...

Tesla mentioned in this article (link below) as reported in the WSJ looking to sell off it's Chinese assets and some good info on how the Chinese auto industry is impacting countries that produce autos, with the exception of the US where their sales are essentially not allowed. Also a quote...

Hope it's a really good deal on the Tesla - Rangers seem to hold their value reasonably well, but nothing like used Tacomas which still have very high resale value. From Forbes Top Fast-Depreciating EVs (5-Year Mark) According to extensive market studies by iSeeCars, electric cars lose an...

AI tells me the correct phrase is "hindsight is 20/20" and not 50/50. I think in hindsight the gov driven plan for EVs set the industry back for the foreseeable future. The negative reaction to legislation outlawing sale of ICE should have been understood. . I can't recall seeing Tesla...

Agree 100%, my wife bought a 2025 subaru outback and the safety nannies are annoying but worse is subaru placing nearly every control inside the touch screen center console. The car also has the driver monitoring camera which is of little practical value . Subaru in 2026 along with several other...

5 pages is miniscule compared to past threads on here with hundreds perhaps thousands of posts devoted to anti ev diatribes, highlighting all of the environmental issues, battery failures, range anxiety, gov compelling people to buy ev , bridges collapsing owing to the weight, out of control...

And the US has China covered or would smothered be more appropriate, if you can't beat em, outlaw em . https://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/cars/news-blog/u-s-wants-to-block-chinese-connected-cars-from-even-driving-over-the-border-45135448
