Thanks again for the insight. Being new to the hybrid ownership,l appreciate your recommendations. I will send the K&N filter back, I agree it isn't worth the...
The blue "under operating temperature" light or whatever it's called that says that the coolant temp(s) are below operating temp. I think the light goes off at...
So far this winter, the Chicago area has had an unusual stretch of cold weather, and snow. The mileage for my 2005 Salsa Red is in the crapper like I've never...
The blue thermometer icon can be found in Classic but not 2G. I agree that it turns off at around 50 degrees C. Patrick Wong ... called that ... about ... and...
The best answer is a second set of wheels and tires. I have used a set of four Blizaks on each of my cars for the last 15 years. They last a long time when...
... set of four Blizaks on each of my cars for the last 15 years. They last a long time when used only in the winter and they definitely give you a safety...
Since you guys have been very knowledgeable with my Prius questiosn, here is one for my wife's 2003 Camry. Checked her trans fluid and it was about 1/2 quart...
It'll be fine until the overhaul.... How many miles? Fluid is probably toast if anywhere over 60k. "C. Aaron Ross" <car2240@...> wrote: Since you guys...
Hi Aaron, If your wife's car is five years old, it probably has 50K-60K miles or so. This would be a good time to drain and replace the fluid, and remove the...
Thanks to the public posts and the private replies. Since I felt there were a decent choice (there might be better, but they are still a significant upgrade),...
Strange..... Both of my new pickups (1 Oversize[Tiny}, one mini) came with GoodYear Wranglers, but different styles (I don't remember the letters) and...
I had a theory years back... Start a car....Let it run for about 5 minutes, then shut down. While its sitting, the heat generated in the cylinders (less ...
70K sounds GREAT! I didn't know tires offered that long of a warrenty, period! What does the 520 AA standfor? Yesterday, my wife and I went to an art gallery...
perpetual motion still fascinates you too, as I recall.... sorry, average temperature will continue to drop from the time you shut off, until you add more...
Joe- Peter is just throwing reality back at you. In fact, when a car is started in, say 10 degree weather, run for 5 minutes and shut down, it is in fact...
Karl (Joe, too) Reread the rest of your post. Your last paragraph contains some old school errors. Last car I had that switched off coolant to the interior ...
Hi Karl & Joe: NHTSA requires each U.S. tire manufacturer to rate passenger car tires for treadwear, traction, and temperature, under Uniform Tire Quality...
I am prepared to believe your theory. I think i can test it also. I have a mini-scanner. The average temperature wont be warmer but the coolant may be. Best...
Hi Karl, I agree that engine heat will distribute itself so that the temperature *as measured* by the engine coolant sensor will register a greater amount for...

After being rearend and my 07 Touring Prius being repaired, I have problems if I try to add more then 8.5 gallons. Even if I add one more gallon it is very...
An option is to wait for warmer weather, or just wait. Several times back in the Classic days we saw reports of sudden drop in tank capacity. There is the...
Agreed. I haven't dealt with the new ones, but my Classic definitively has less capacity in the winter. Generally speaking I get down to about one bar and I...
Your theory is full of holes. The startup is not to warm up the block and oil, but rather to warm up the catalytic converter through the exhast gases. Once it...
