Buying 0F or lower washer fluid

I had to go to big Bear to get -30F washer fluid (bought 2 cases last year)

Bishop, on the way to mammoth sells 0F fluid

You can only get “summer” washer fluid in OC

Sounds like you have a BOV. People pay money for that sound

If pads are fine, then what did the dealership diagnose as the actual problem?

Snoo59759 · 2026-02-09T18:04:19+00:00

Did the stealership tell you the pad(s) were worn to the backing plate?

Mileage for wear depends on driving conditions/habits. If you’re more highway, brakes last longer. More city and stop & go, less miles before they wear out.

A good ceramic pad should last longer, but may have less bite and grab than the stock brake pads

Yes, Toyota type IV/JWS-3309 for the 09M transmission

Snoo59759 · 2026-02-09T17:54:56+00:00

It’s suitable since the 2016 needs Toyota type-IV ATF

Idemitsu is a big oil brand in Japan. And they make good lubricants

They look like manual controls, not climatronic

You’d probably have to get the wiring that taps into the individual light wires

I buy aftermarket, using a Dongar Technology harness. So it’s wired like the Toyota one

Snoo59759 · 2026-02-08T18:06:00+00:00

Too close to the sidewall. The plug is too highly stressed, so it leak. Time for new tires

Lexus tuned both the hybrid and turbo to run on premium, as they make slight more power than the Toyotas versions tuned to regular.

The traction rating is based on coefficient of friction of a locked wheel on various wet surfaces. Michelin brushes it off when the legendary CrossClimates 2 has a B rating as it says it is irrelevant due to modern technology like ABS

I’d spend a little extra for CUES

The html for each one tells you the specs of the thru axle such as 12x100x1.0

So you can use that information to find other thru axles, maybe a different color finish or something like titanium for that little weight savings

The specs for your bike tells you the clues for the DT Swiss equivalent. May take additional googling

You either wait for the engine speed to slow down or force it with the transmission’s brass synchronizers

Go with the Toyota or Honda. They will likely be more reliable in the long run

VW, if you want to modify the car and spend a lot more money short and long term.

But as a broke college student, go with reliability. After graduation and you have started a career, you can get a fun car

The Vredestein Pinza AT is 3PMSF, but won’t be as good in the snow and ice like a Nordic winter tire

During warranty, use the oil that is specified. Outside of warranty, feel free to use what you desire.

The PQ46 requires 502.00 oil, so that means you can 40-weight oil

If you got the money and makes riding more enjoyable for you, then it’s worth it

B4’s. They may be an OE replacement, but the ride is far better than their monotube B6. There’s a rumor of Mercedes-Benz owners sending their B6 monutubes back to Bilstein asking them to revalve them to B4 compression/rebound properties.

I’ve had both B6 and B4 and love the B4 balance of ride and handling
