I was considering the CorkSport SRI for my CX-3 and have decided to hold off while I experiment with the stock box without inlet snorkel and resonator. Would have deleted this post but will edit it instead when I am ready to pursue further. 😁

I have a few outdoor benches that I assembled two years ago and stained with used oil from one of my cars. After being exposed to the elements, the wood looks dry and thirsty. Yesterday they all got a coat of Royal Purple 0w20 with 6K miles from the CX-3. I wonder if the purple dye in the oil...

One thing that I have learned after a cooling disaster on my MINI is that by turning on the heater, the coolant in the heater core gets to mix with the rest of the fluid and helps bring down the temperature slightly. Now that I am watching the temperature of the CX-3 more closely, I tried this...

Folks, please help me get a sense of how hot we are supposed to run. My first poll ever, forgive me if I leave out your engine... Thank you!

These are the only wear and tear that I have noticed in my 2017. A modest sized bottom can stretch out the material after enough miles. 😅 I started using a protective cover for the seat bottom after 150K miles. The seat back is intact because it doesn't have to hold my weight. I have a bottle...

Do any of you keep your OBD2 scanner on to monitor values not shown on the car's dashboard? I have a spare Android phone that is now doing that job. Besides coolant temp (194~214), ATF temp (188~208), battery/ECU voltage (14/13), there are many more sensors to choose from the app. I understand...

Read about the story months ago and came across the clip today.

This is my new hobby. The $20 tool works very much like an electric can opener. The hardest part is holding the unit steady. The black one is Bosch 3300, the blue one is Purolator, both in service for 8K miles. Bosch was easy to cut open, Purolator was five times as hard. The walls seem to be...

I tried to replace the horn today but failed. I wasn't able to remove the front bumper so I reached in from the grill slats and top trim. After getting the stock horn out, I realized that I need a few more components to install the Hella Horns. After putting the stock horn back, it wouldn't...

It occurred to me yesterday that I could pry at the seam of the filter with a flathead as I did with the pan. Once I had an opening on the smaller end of the filter, I ran the screwdriver sideways down the gap to open up the rest. Some brittle plastic pieces flew out so I should have worn eye...

The first fluid drain/fill was at 153K miles. Two more rounds of drain/fill were done before 155K miles. Decided to replace the filter and reseal the pan because there was a leak from the corner seam. What took me the longest was to scrape off the pink RTV residue from the transmission and pan...

In the opening paragraph on this page, do you see anything off? 😁 https://www.idemitsulubricants.com/idemitsu/racing-oil/
