Prepare to have to go more miles without oil changes, or dilute your oil with different weights.
>>28945515>0-8 and 0-16Wow it's a good thing I don't put pisswater into my engine, pisswater that by necessity requires the most expensive and least available compounds that come from oil distillation, just to be hot garbage instead of total fucking garbage.5-30 may have little to no PAO base in it anymore but guess what that makes it CHEAO AND PLENTIFUL by comparison>PANTJust what are you people. What actual necessary function for humanity's survival do you serve.
>>28945515Daily reminder:Any oil weight called out by a manufacturer can be substituted with 1 or 2 steps of higher weight oil without issue.0w-16 can be replaced with a 0w-20 or 0w-300w-20 can be replaced with 0w-30 and even 0w-40
>>28945527Hybrids use these weights because the engine is off half of the time and the oil is rarely at temperature. They have issues with keeping the engine hot. Colder oil flows worse and is thicker.
>>28945515Local shartmart is out of 0W-8 and low on 0W-16, everything else was fine.
>>28945943No it's all fuel saving. Gen2 prius spec'd for 5-30 from the factory.

>>28944911It was to reduce the used market inventory in the US to drive consumers to buy new cars and stimulate the gas car industry, the GM/Ford/Chrysler. Why? Because they were nearly bankrupt at the time and politicans wanted to keep themselves in power by buying union votes.

>>28945986Yeah brah, they put the 19" front wheel on the nx500 and versys to keep beginners from digging into those corners too quickly. I'll agree about the 750gs just because I'm still salty BMW killed the Rotax.
>>28943715I was wondering why different countries have different safety outcomes, then I realized that in US, you can only sell high quality EVs. In sweden, while most are Teslas there are some Chinese EVs there as well. Australia gets flooded with Teslas as well. Poland is probably mostly Chinese EVs
>>28946175Except they don't. Checkmate.
>>28936886Electricity costs vary per region so you'd probably use national average, which you'd look up.
>>28946240>then I realized that in US, you can only sell safer EVsftfyLots of absolute shit quality EVs are sold here (and everywhere). That's the issue with EV adoption. Everyone thinks that one of the big legacy automakers can instantly make a good EV because they've been making cars for 50+ years. But they make garbage EVs, people buy those garbage EVs, have a bad time, then declare all EVs are bad.NSHTA only makes sure cars sold here are safe to drive. They don't ensure they're not shit to drive.
>>28936886Just saw this retarded post because I haven't been back to this thread in a while. I have my own house but honestly couldn't even tell you what I'm paying per kilowatt because I have solar that covers about 90% of the bill and it doesn't fucking matter. Also didn't want to actually sit down and figure out how many kilowatts it would take to fully charge a tesla battery, calculate the efficiency loss of the charger and and all that bullshit, so I just looked up the average charge cost. Is that ok princess?

>>28945076If I'm tired and need a nap I just tell dispatch and by law they can't do shit about it. Now if I abused that and was a lazy bum they would eventually force me out, but if I legitimately just need an hour or two to catch up on sleep - even if it would make the load late - they'd rather the shit get there late than have it scattered across the highway and be paying my life insurance out as well as lawsuits for whoever I hit. It's only the shady shitholes like SuperEgo that were forcing guys to drive tired under threat of retaliation.
Figured since I can't risk fucking a lot lizard, I should leverage my new profession as a truck driver to get laid on hook up sites.I doubt it will help but know knows, someone may want a sugar d... forget it.

>>28943226It's pretty blunt, but it can be done. Here's a tipe: glass is a type of latice structure. It gets easier to break if you scratch it first, so use something to scratch that glass and then hit it at the scratch point if you do not have a dedicated glass breaker.

>>28943133Reach for my Benchmade Bailout, literally Bail myself Out by using the glass breaker on the window, lose my grip on the the $270 knife as I climb out of the car, drop it into the water, swim to the bank, take a breath, and remember all those retarded faggots on youtube I saw who unironically said having a glass breaker on the end of your knife is a bad idea, and that it's more wholesome epic to literally disassemble the knife and replace the glass breaker with a custom piece of metal because they're mentally deranged.

Looking for a daily and struggling to decide between a sedan and a more practical crossover, particularly a hybrid.
Any advantages of a CUV over a sedan really makes no sense now that uhal is a thing. If you need to fit people you just get a SUV
>>28945702Most SUVs are just full size crossovers though
>>28945702CUV will be nicer to enter and exit as well as better passenger space on top of fitting bulky items. Its also nicer to be seating higher while driving and not worrying about crubs. Renting a Uhaul vs having a vehicle that can just carry it is not in the same universe of convenience and most sedans do not have trailer hitches.
>>28946228>CUV will be nicer to enter and exitGo to the gym fatso>as well as better passenger spaceThis is far from true. There are sedans with really spacious backseats>Its also nicer to be seating higher while drivingIt's objectively worse in terms of precise steering and becomes wobbly as hell during sharp turns with poor sense of edges>and most sedans do not have trailer hitches.They do if you want to install it.All this post says is you're fat and gay.
>>28942764You live alone or in your mom's basement and are perennially single and you have a near-min wage job.If this wasn't the case, you wouldn't think this thing would fix all your car problems.
Are you going to stop buying cars made after this year now that all cars made going forward as of 2027 are legally required to include government surveillance tech? Or are you a bootlicking little bitch who bends over for despots?
>>28942774i just want a +-2015 lexus suv with a cd player.
Last time I bought new was in 2014. I don't intend to do so again. Somewhere around the mid-00s is my cutoff. Before throttle smoothing and the traction control mandate, and before crossovers took over. Definitely nothing with a SIM card 3G+ so late 10s hard cutoff.Anything pre-96 is somewhat harder for a theoretical despot govt to surveil with tech.It will be difficult. All it takes is one Stacy to run into you and the car is gone.
>>28942981>All it takes is one Stacy to run into you and the car is goneThat's why my yard has so many old shitboxes in it.
>>28942981Throttle smoothing I think can be fixed with a tune, or one of those ghetto pedal signal modifiers. Even beyond the stacey though, your $5,000 shitbox eventually becomes a $50,000 “classic” and parts prices get outrageous. And mechanics can’t troubleshoot without obd2 hand-holding them these days. I own a newer giulia, and as much as I love it, a lot of shit is obnoxious (example: it beeps at you for getting close to objects, so when you pull into a car wash it goes crazy until you’re out of the machine. So you can either turn off the car and thus the AC and fry, or leave it on and listen to it screeching for 3 minutes). Also can’t fully turn off traction control, even with mods, which is super gay.
I never started. My current car was made in 1984, and I don't plan on ever buying anything newer than 2011.
As for me, it's the bowtie

>>28946006Their trucks and suvs are currently fuckin everywhere, including occasionally a trax or trailblazer abomination
>>28946000Because moderniggers are stupid. They'll buy anything most of the time. This car in particular was just unusually bad and ugly.

>>28944473So we quit sending oil to India and South America. Job done
>>28944366I would do this too bc nomadic Before when I lived in the same place I knew the cheap spots
>>28944844What are you, a commie? If oil companies want to sell oil for $200 a barrel overseas, instead of $100 at home, they will do so. Unless you pay $200.

Hello, and welcome to 4chan's Weekend Wrenching General. In this thread, you can post your repairs, big or small. Blog posting encouraged. Wrenchlet questions welcomed.
>>28941738I personally got a high end torque (fuel).Uses:Harmonic balancer boltsSuspensionWheelsIt's the older model and huge, so doesn't fit in tight spaces, but usually works for my purposes.I also have an electric ratchet (fuel), which I pair with a breaker bar/regular ratchet if needed. But I generally just go the a regular hand ratchet.If working in interior, I use a m12 fuel little driver that has impact functions and use the little hex to 1/4 or 3/8 adapters. So no need to have a mid range driver unless you are an actual mechanic.
>>28941738I like watching this guy's channel as he test various power tools and hand tools:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yu1VGp-HSZshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PU_V1btloAI personally got the Dewalt DCF921 with a battery and charger kit about a year or 2 ago, it was on clearance for a bit over 50% off. In that first link it compared all of Dewalt's impact wrenches and how much each model's peak torque was tested in his setup. And so far I haven't had to use my larger DCF891 torque wrench and I really like the smaller profile of the 921 to reach in difficult confined spaces, I am able to consistently take off my 4runner's lug nuts, I have replaced the front and rear strut suspension, I have replaced my lower ball joints, I have replaced my rear lower and upper control arms and the DCF921 was able to handle these job with ease.I have also removed my motorcycle's rear axle nut with the DCF921 just fine.I personally would recommend you get a smaller profile impact wrench from any brand that can output up to 300ft/lbs(minimum) of loosening/breaking torque at the very least and also whichever fits your budget constraints.
Did my break in 500 mile oil change and installed the TOYOTA brand TOYOTA skid plates. I’ll slap on the rear diff plate later this week
>>28942677Got it on. Installing the brackets around the rear axel were a bitch
>>28916988Find a video and follow it, that's literally what pros do when they aren't sure about something, and don't let some retard who barely knows what a wrench is himself give you shit for doing so>t. professional poorfag wagie truck mechanic
One day, maybe 30-40yrs from now, you'll be driving that forever car you own down the street, thinking everyone's envious, meanwhile they're just thinking "get that shit off the street gramps"
