Interesting... never used to pay much attention to all of this. Now that we've invested in a new engine, I'd like to keep it running well as long...
What I'm thinking right now is: we're typically changing oil (and filters) every 5,000 miles to be safe. Since that's well below the rated...
Huh? The whole purpose of an oil filter is to remove contaminants. Otherwise, why bother? These tests introduce (not carbon but dust) contaminants...
I made a spreadsheet to check their rankings. It's pretty simple: They list the weight of each column (50/20/20/10 percent) Sum: (Position *...
FWIW... I hope we've learned some lessons by now. "Good enough for the manufacturer"... turned out to be not so true. Here's an amazing series of...
Papa Pete’s How To on Prius Rear Axle Beam Replacement Introduction What? This is a pretty significant repair/maintenance project. It involves at...
Yep.
What did you attach? It's a bad link :(
FWIW, I reviewed the document previously shared here, with TMI details on "twist beam" suspension design. NONE of the analyzed cases had a major...

Sigh. A friend helped me install new rear axle bushings. Unfortunately, I goofed, aiming the marker at the wrong weld. The spec says the marker...
A couple of updates. Hopefully my next post after this will be a How To on getting the job done. 1) The downhill slide in supply chain is hitting...
I highly recommend and second @ASRDogman suggestion: My ASE-certified mechanic friend WAS going to help me do a rebuild ourselves, until we...
FWIW, Discount Tire is not bad. I'm sad they refused to replace for you. What I've seen: 1) Anybody can go to their tire pressure stand (typically...
Yeah. At least we're well on our way, car working great. (Well, had to reinstall the old axle beam for now, which means exta tire wear. I'll...
SOLVED. I feel a little dumb... Instruction sequence has me remove master level sensor cable... and never reinstall. I decided to go check the...
I really am confused about these clearing instructions (emphasis mine). How can the same instruction only clear one? Looks like a documentation...
Ugg... Got 2011 reassembled. I can NOT get these codes to clear. Using Techstream. Anomaly I see is that the dash LED's don't blink at all...
