Which is why I was looking at fluids with three year change intervals

Thanks, did not occur to me to check viscosity! Fuchs Titan DOT 514 LV Dry Boiling Point: 270°C Wet Boiling Point: 180°C Cold viscosity at -40C: 750 mm2/s Change Interval: 2 years Bosch has lower viscosity, and longer recommended change interval (lower hygroscopicity) Bosch ESI6-32N Brake...

For what it's worth, this is from my research when I was looking for brake fluid. I evaluated based on dry/web boiling point and hygroscopicity (if that's even a word) judged by manufacturer's recommended change interval, looking for change interval of more than 2 years which is the standard...

Thanks, I do suffer from CDO and a recovering perfectionist who keeps falling off the wagon. I am probably over analyzing and overthinking my quest for the perfect oil that will keep my engine and turbo running forever. (this is probably going to be my last car, as I do not believe that there...

I installed the Hybrid short shifter and bushings, but I forgot to install the detent springs, and I did not feel like taking everything apart again. I am very curious to know if the Hybrid detent springs do indeed make a difference and worth taking everything apart to install...

Thanks, Follow up questions: What happens if it does fail? something catastrophic? or a minor issue? would car still be drivable? How would I know if it failed or about to fail? what are the symptoms? what should I watch for? What if it fails after one year, can it be repaired? or will I...

I understand that the epoxy will withstand the temps. But what about heat cycles combined with vibrations? Will the epoxy develop stress cracks, or be separated from the aluminum?

When I purchased my car at Airport Marina Honda in Los Angeles, the side sticker, with $20K ADM and all the dealer installed crap ($2k KARR alarm, $2k paint & fabric protection, $900 Safecat, whatever that was), totaled over $72,000. I purchased it for $49,500 which was $2,000 over...

I know very little about oil, and I never tracked a car. But I am wondering out loud: Since I do not intend to track the car nor stress the engine, i.e. heat will not be an issue, nor will oil breaking down. and since 5W30 is what's recommended by Honda everywhere else (I believe that 0W20 in...

Thanks, but still expensive. and it seems that fog lights so low might be too exposed to rocks etc. I also wonder if I can get powerful enough fog lights in such a small strip. I need fairly bright and focused fog lights to break through the heavy fog. not just for looks.

Thanks, But $2,100? I think I'll pass... https://spoonusa.com/spoon-carbon-lip-spoiler-civic-type-r-fl5

I like this a lot, wish I knew before I got my cheap $7 mount from Amazon. on the other hand, I got used to the position of mine, very easy to reach with my hand while driving... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D45W64BB Rock solid steady, easy to reach and view. uses double sided tape to hold...

My driving is similar to yours. No track, Angeles Crest , Santa Monica and Santa Barbara mtns a few times a year but about a mile of mild twisties daily on the way home (which I'll never admit to driving faster than 80mph) for my research, I put more weight on pads that would grab better...

As usual, I was curious, so I asked Grok. Grok could not find any reason for the change, it is claiming that the specs are the same, speculating possibly a manufacturing or production change or a supply chain change Usual disclaimer about AI tools...

Same here, I drive mine at any opportunity I get. But I am in SoCal, where we have two seasons, a dry season and a hotter and drier season... It is so much fun to drive that I get an itch every time I go into the garage or just think about it It is the best thing you can do with your pants...

https://mygarage.honda.com/s/recall-search?brand=honda your date sold should mean fix before sold (dealer cannot sell cars with a recall) however, also check when the care was made on the door sticker supposedly, if made after October (or was it August) 2024, the rack is using the new and...

Thanks What about durability? I recall reading somewhere that Poly is no as durable as EPDM, and that Poly starts tighter but degrades quicker I believe that because of that, at least one brand offers replacement Poly bushings At the time, when I knew less than nothing, that was what made...

I am curious as to the pros and cons of EPDM (OEM, PRL) vs Polyurethane (everyone else)?

These might fit, at least dimensions seems good: https://www.diodedynamics.com/elite-series-type-a-fog-lamps-pair.html
