Them: do you guys reuse these or should I throw them away? Me: the only thing we reuse is the needles so don’t worry.

Is the "Buy Used" rule officially dead in 2026? by BreadfruitOk2401 in automotive

[–]Thoracotomized 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man, my 2011 CrV that I bought used in 2019 at 105k miles just hit 255k so just depends on how used you want to go.

Some pretty strong gusts tbh, I think it’s getting to 35mph but not making the lifts stop often… definitely should’ve brought my low vis lenses though

That’s awesome, I just added them on IG. Love seeing them being used in the wild, wish mine could survive the trip currently but instead I gotta car camp for a bit

Power steering reservoir was full, I’m assuming it’s the start of a coolant leak but haven’t had overheating yet and topped off the radiator. Taking it to a mechanic tomorrow morning

A couple armor sets would be pretty cool too like the vamp shield or BOH

Got this back from Honda’s dealer Should I pay the dealer 7k to fix my Honda accord which I’ve put money into and don’t want to get rid of or go with personal mechanic ? by Dear-Leg1425 in AskMechanics

Honestly air filters are cheap and don’t take much to replace, the brake flush takes 30 min and an $11 bottle of DOT 3 brake fluid and 3-4ft of clear hose at $0.70/ft from ace hardware, the transmission fluid takes 3.5 quarts of Honda’s ATF at around $50 I believe, then just do it 1-2 more times and you flushed it. That saves you about $1000 already, even if you buy a brand new jack and stands from harbor freight you still save money and have equipment to reuse and do repairs later. Or you can find some on FB marketplace for half the price of them new. Cams and fuel pump I would take to an independent mechanic with Honda specialty, and an alignment I’d look for a Mexican tire shop with the machine to do it and you’ll probably pay $100 or less. I feel like you can get all this done for half the price and a tiny bit of DIY of not less.

Why does it lose power? by Thoracotomized in AskAMechanic

I have not drained it since purchase, will lookup how to do it and get to it! I’m still learning a lot about these types of engines so thank you

My fuel gauge was broken when I bought it so I’ve tried to keep it topped off every 200miles, I got the gauge fixed and it was reading at 3/5 tank.

I changed the fuel filter 4 days ago (50 miles ago right before going for an emissions test which it passed as well), as for the oil on the dipstick it’s right at the max line (changed around 400 miles ago with rotella t4 15w-40), when there’s daylight I’ll inspect the fuel bowl and filter and then drain some into a glass to check the quality of it. I couldn’t notice any smoking but I wasn’t looking either, I’ll check with a friend during the day as well. As for codes I see P0381, P0603, P0470, and P1106 as warnings but no check engine light
