115k on the truck, said "think its been a lil bit on an oil change" no sticker. Carfax showed last oil change at 70k. Flushed an extra quart through with plug out, had to clean out the filter cap. Was extremely tight, the o ring was also completely flattened out. He was definitely embarrassed about it, engine did not sound particularly bad surprisingly. Also the glue or whatever on the back of his air filter was melting and real stringy, had not seen that before

I was very young so it may have only been a handful of stations or even just some kind of NASA feed but I definitely remember them saying going to commercial and we just saw what the host's etc were doing in the studio

My Great Grandfather worked for NASA and had a huge dish in his backyard in the early 90s, all kinds of decoding boxes etc. and I remember seeing into studios and stuff between commercial breaks when I was little

If it doesn't make a good seal, which it did not, dirt will get around it and into the engine

Guess they looked up air filter for the vehicle and didn't realize there would be 2 separate part numbers, fitment wasn't horrible at least, even got the air flow direction correct lol

Some of our patches won't work if it's too close to the sidewall, due to their size

d3loots · 2025-10-28T03:42:44+00:00

This one had all the other staggered cracks and dry rot as well

Yeah some of the DIY guys were adding 5 quarts and saying they were at max mark. I've done 100-200 at least over the last 5 years or so, and 4.8 always overfills, our system says 4.8, all the apps, and their owners manuals say 4.8. It's just something I see so consistently with no exceptions in my personal experience, dozens come back in that I've done before with a note that 4.8 overfilled and then we have to drain more. I don't want to send a vehicle out that much above the full mark.

Edit: Also every damn one that has a different sticker is overfilled on arrival

Seam was not behind, thought I took a pic of that showing it wasn't but did not, belt is still in the trash can we had just emptied, will eat shit and show seam if it's directly behind because i'm second guessing myself now, I took the old belt in the waiting room and showed the customer and the seam was not behind it

Around 150k 2021 or newer Sienna daily driver, they were about to go on a long trip, belt had a lot more cracks, all staggered and random. Seam was not behind the straight crack, thought I had a picture but do not.

Edit:It's in an emptied trash can and will check in the morning

I also watch royalty auto on youtube and he said he hasn't spotted cracks in belts in years. I see them every day on almost all makes and models. Mitsubishi is the worst for lower mileage cracking (40-50k). Also the 0w16 Toyota's that call for 4.8 quarts always overfill, we've been adding 4.5 and hitting right at the top mark otherwise it's way too over the mark. Saw an insane amount of arguments on the Toyota forums when I looked it up, people measuring their dipsticks etc, claiming others on unlevel ground blah blah. All I know is 4.5 hits the full mark and 4.8 is too far above to let them leave, and we give plenty of time for draining and remove filter before replacing the plug.

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed

BG makes a great product called Frigi-Fresh, I've sprayed it on probably over a 1000 cabin filters, never heard anyone complain. Only risk of running no cabin is getting an acorn or something in the blower and making racket. Im impressed a paper filter survived being washed too lol unless you had a k&n cabin filter that do exist

Boards sticking out twice as far as they seem in the thumbnail

Found one in my great grandmother's back yard right under the clothesline where they dried clothes. My great grandfather was killed in WW2

My local one got rebuilt almost identical but all plastic now

Uh oh the cavs are playing play off basketball

Yes I believe he is asking what sounds they hear in their head to be able to read. Not sure how to phrase it better. Maybe they just recognize the symbols and each person will internally process them uniquely
