That "scrambling" was called "Selected Availability" (SA). Selective Availability (SA) was an intentional degradation of public GPS signals...
I think the idea is to use the quart that's in the car to top off if you find the oil is low when you check it at fillup time, especially with 0W-20...
No 0W20 at our local WalMart. 5W30 Mobil 1 is about $6/qt. Also no 0W20 at Costco or Sam's the last I looked. Plenty of it at the dealer, though, but...
Sure. Go ahead and replace them.
Thanks; I'll keep that in mind. I'll ask for a filter for my old F-150 with the 0W20 oil -- that'll make 'em wonder. One of the dealers nearby...
These days, few don't, at least the so-called "Smart phones". I'm not sure there's any smartphone without a GPS receiver any more. I have an...
I still have that (it gets synthetic every 10K also), as well as the v, but can't find a way to put both in my profile, and am too lazy to build a...
Wow. Had no idea this stuff was so expensive; explains why the dealership didn't change the oil at the 5,000 mile free checkup. They explicitly said...
FWIW, we never use the parking brake, have never heard the noise. Car is garaged, so far has not seen any temperature below about 43°F. 2012 V5,...
I do the same thing :( .
I wouldn't mind a justifiable "infrastructure and social cost" based tax. To me, a surrogate measure would be vehicle weight and fuel purchased....
Thanks -- it looks like I don't need it, based on VIN. I wonder why they would send me the letter, when my VIN is in the letter and it's n/a. I...
I had SSC 60C - Steering Intermediate Shaft Replacement - done in 2006. Now I've been notified that they want to do it again under C0T - Steering...
Well, I've had them now for 3 weeks and over 1000 miles. They s*ck. Noisy, and my mileage appears to have dropped from 48-ish to 44-ish, but I'd...
Noises are NOT normal. Sounds like struts to me. In my case, all struts were alleged to be fine (i.e., no oil leaks), by 2 dealers, one of whom...
So how do all these dealers get away with selling "4-wheel alignments"? Do I smell a class action opportunity?
Fair enough. Looks like the Prius market isn't attractive to Bilstein... The labor for having the dealer install whatever struts he likes only adds...
Thanks, Patrick. I guess the moral here is to replace the struts every 60,000 miles or so, as some have recommended? Funny - when they replaced the...
I just solved all my rattle, knock, cluck noises, but it wasn't cheap: Rattle clunk from front end | Page 2 | PriusChat
Ijust had all 4 done in two separate visits to a dealer. Rear struts were $96.93 for parts, $168.72 for labor (each); front were $118.78 for parts,...
