@Slappy and @GMak621, I will be at the January fifth cars and coffee event in Novato, unless it is raining…. Both of you, DM me, and I will give you my cell number. It would be fun to meet each other and make the world a smaller place, a better place!

I have, even brought my new Tacoma, but I show up with a pro 2a rights group-we have a blue canopy and we are there to discuss who we are and what we do, and what we support.

I have purchased 10 Toyota vehicles From novato Toyota over the past 17 years for my fleet. Novato Toyota is also a good customer of mine and their parts dept staff is great. The only disappointment I have had with Novato Toyota was with the phone call for my first service on my 24 Tacoma. I...

Bryan Lee is a good guy, he is the owner of Viking Auto Parts.

What is your favorite auto parts store in Novato?

Sloppy from Novato- I have a biz in Novato and grew up there… it is hard to notice gains. I used to own a Buick grand National… and the fuel quality and engine or suspension mods were best proven at sears point… MPH and ET were great indicators of speed/quickness .

I run 5w30 synthetic, but it seldom reaches freezing temps where I live

Probably MS109 race fuel would be ideal, yet unless a tune is created to capture the true benefit of the fuel, then the benefit may be unrealized. It also is not cost effective either.

Also there is an oil additive/lubricant for race engines that run on alcohol. As alcohol doesn’t have any lubrication properties to it, unlike diesel or gas. Mind you, alcohol fueled race engines are very specific and that really doesn’t apply to blending of alcohol and gasoline to create pump gas.

I believe 100 avgas is still 100LL “low lead” and lead is not ideal for emission equipment, like wide band/oxygen sensors and catalytic converters.

Yes, less than 1 mpg loss… my biggest concern is the hygroscopic issue with ethanol.

Agreed! Here in California with our blended fuel, we have to burn more fuel to get to a destination. I guess there is “special math” that justifies burning “more fuel that is cleaner” but I have yet to wrap my head around it.

I would prefer a red bulb for this specific light. Audi runs a red light and it is much better in my opinion, since it doesn’t ruin night vision

I have lost two customers from fentanyl and I really likes both of them. I live in California, and unless someone is willing to eliminate drug precursors being shipped from their country of origin, and unless there is a drug interdiction process that begins to become far more effective, it will...

I could not have said it any better! Happy Thanksgiving ??

Some merchandise has an inelastic demand. For instance, I sell auto parts. Most of our merchandise comes from China. A local consumer that needs a brake rotor will likely pay for it, no matter the cost. Covid did create enough supply chain challenges that our brake rotor manufacturer is now...

Thank you! I do appreciate your insight.

Do you think the unions won’t exploit the tariff, should this policy truly happen? Because there is less risk of moving more vehicle manufacturing to Mexico. I ask because of the quote from Ford’s CEO after the union dispute with Ford, about a year ago. “Last fall’s contentious United Auto...

I would just suggest switching to a synthetic 5w30, and use the oil with more of the same brand. Or give it to a friend

No worries, you and I agree with this and since the engine oil is recommended elsewhere, and know that I won’t be heading to the snow too much, I can error on the side of caution with something slightly thicker
