Guy I work with has an old Odyssey. I always ask him where he stashes his purse! He laughs and says it keeps on going, even with a broken dipstick. Asked when is the last time the oil was changed? He shrugs and says, can’t remember. If it starts ticking I add a little till it goes away. He swears by Honda though! ?
When I was in High School, worked part-time at a Texaco station. One day a customer in a Plymouth pulled in and the owner called me aside and said "its OK to check this guy's oil level but don't mention an oil change or he will come unglued" :angry:. I washed his window and then pulled out the dipstick and there was thick black sludge on it! o_O Glad he made it out of the driveway and down the street on my watch! :whew:

You know I was thinking about this "setup" & the "fan" is an exhaust fan... So in essence this is doing the opposite. UNLESS his thinking is it will give better gas mileage

A. Hondas are appliances.


B. Minivans are appliances.


Would you ask a housewife how to fix the washer and dryer?

I wouldn't have even thought there to be a minivan forum.
Good for how to empty the included vacuum cleaner, or how to remove peanut butter and grass stains from the seats.

I was thinking if you put a windshield washer pump motor on it, and spin it counter clockwise, it would force air into the manifold then just mount it on a Holley 920cfm carb.

Wow Chris I don't think we'll see those prices here anytime soon. Sad when you think $4.29 is a good deal now. :mad:

Here's out local prices. :shock:
