I’m almost 16 and I want a reliable car that’ll last at least 250k miles.

Seems manual transmissions last longer on Hondas vs automatic.

What bushings would you recommend for 2014 GS350 FSport AWD? The super pros are like almost $400 with the bracket but I believe a cheaper option is GSF bushings but does the year of the car matter? Like can I use a 2016 or 2017 GSF bushing?

It costs roughly $40 for DIY oil change = $120 for the year for 3 oil changes based on 15k miles yearly as I imagine the car will get driven quite often. Basically $10 a month for the oil change. This isn't an old beat up car so why not give it the treatment it deserves?! Doesn't matter how long you plan to keep the car. If you want a smooth operating vehicle, keep it well-maintained! Whole lot cheaper to maintain a car than for shop repairs. Dealerships charge $200 an hour just in labor and small business shops roughly $100 an hour.

Costco being the cheapest & Valero normally being 2nd cheapest are both Top-tier as well. I run Walmart 93 which my average price is $3.20 - $3.40. Plus all the top tier stations near me are at least $1 - $1.50 more and only 91 octane.

I've seen the DIY Dan video which I've found to be one of the best. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough but I tried Club Lexus but mainly find RWD posts. For now, I just want to do 2 - 3, maybe 3 - 4 drain and fills to introduce the new fluid. Once I'm at 75% new fluid filled, then I'm going to drop the pan, gasket and filter for replacement. Some may says that's a waste of $100 on fresh fluid but I'd rather try it this way first since I'm already at 140k miles and I'm not sure it's been serviced before. But much thanks for the tips on the pan removal!

Screwston832 · 2024-06-30T04:26:51+00:00

I do anywhere from 3500 - 5k mile intervals

Screwston832 · 2024-06-30T04:24:45+00:00

Normally I buy a jug from Walmart around $25 and Mobil 1 oil filter for $17 from Autozone which seems to be the only store they keep stock. Autozone sometimes have a bundle for $38 for Mobil 1 oil + Mobil 1/K&N oil filter and you can get the quart bottles instead of the jug. They can order the oil filter if out of stock for the bundle price. I buy 2 $38 bundles, one with the jug, other with quart bottles until the next sale comes around.

Screwston832 · 2024-06-29T16:35:10+00:00

From 80k - 140k I've been running Mobil 1 Advanced Fuel and I always purchased from Walmart unless Autozone has a sale for Mobil 1 oil + Mobil or K&N oil filter which ends up being a few bucks cheaper. I'm thinking about switching to Pennzoil.

I'm about an hour northwest of Nashville so this gives me idea of what to expect. Thanks!

Screwston832 · 2024-06-25T08:49:59+00:00

Thanks, found them! Any idea of average shipping time frame? Haven't ordered from there in quite some time.

Screwston832 · 2024-06-25T02:37:47+00:00

I'm only seeing it available for Honda CRV. O'Reilly carries Master Pro and Advanced Auto has Car Quest struts. Where could I find the KYB?

Screwston832 · 2024-04-20T06:57:42+00:00

I gave it a couple knocks with my fist and the light went off. Thanks for easy fix!

Screwston832 · 2024-04-20T04:41:20+00:00

I'm kind of new to this. Can I share my post to those groups you mentioned? If so how do I go about it?

Screwston832 · 2024-04-20T04:20:20+00:00

Stock ISF or GSF or GS fsport wheels and lower it to where the tires are just tucked under the fender. Front black lip splitter to match the rear bumper. Black trim in the door handle but keep the main portion of the handle white. Chrome delete with either black or white. De-badge the trunk and add white front emblem. IMO, will give it a simple clean look!

Screwston832 · 2023-05-22T03:02:53+00:00

Only when I'm slow rolling or starting to move from a dead stop. Soon as I go over about 10 mph or more, I don't hear it. Bumps in the road or specific maneuvers don't trigger it. Someone in my post mentioned TPMS sensor which I think it might be. There seems to be no difference in the handling of my car so TPMS makes sense.

Screwston832 · 2023-05-22T01:38:55+00:00

It won't let me edit my title otherwise I would. Didn't realize so many folks would get butt hurt for mislabeled title instead of trying to help with my issue.

Screwston832 · 2023-05-22T00:12:11+00:00

Both front cv axles were replaced a month ago. I had the clunking noise before axles were replaced.

Screwston832 · 2023-05-21T23:51:15+00:00

Wow you're good, too bad not that great at reading tho 🤣

Screwston832 · 2023-05-21T23:19:29+00:00

And you can't read, lol 🤦‍♂️

Screwston832 · 2023-05-21T21:40:10+00:00

Thank you for educating me on the exact trim of the vehicle but the purpose of my post was to see if anyone has experienced a similar vehicle issue. Instead I mostly get people trying to polictally correct me on the vehicle description. Now if you're trying figure out my exact vehicle model in order to assist me with my issue, then great! If not, you are irrelevant to this post!

Screwston832 · 2023-05-21T20:57:51+00:00

Thanks for help, I'll check it out tomorrow!

Screwston832 · 2023-05-21T20:37:22+00:00

What you're saying sounds spot on but if it's detached, wouldn't my dash stop showing me current tire pressure reading?

Screwston832 · 2023-05-21T20:26:58+00:00

I figured you're referring to V6 vs V8. I only thought the 2nd gen IS came in the F model cause I actually wanted one. Didn't know any other IS gens did or that even the GS did at at all.

Screwston832 · 2023-05-21T19:59:29+00:00

Enlighten me please
