well now you have Augusta honda was $20.21+tax for oem honda anti-freeze. However their price for tranny oil was $10 which is reasonable. the anti freeze stuff was driving me crazy-it really has to be a certain type or you will damage the cooling system. I was glad to have actually got that dam radiator drain plug loose as I did not want to mess with those plastic panels. Next time it will be much easy.
 
College hill Honda is my favorite. From time to time they have some really good sales.
 
you have to add shipping to cost- the honda dealers around here are crooks, I had the same problem with dodge parts too. even with shipping often online places were cheaper. I am not going to worry about it as Walmart has cheap delivered anti freeze and I am still looking for a full strength version. When I changed the anti-freeze, I did not flush it with distilled water because I didn't want any left over water with full strength anti-freeze you could mix 55/45 to account for this. It gets very cold here sometimes -10 degrees or colder. I don't have to worry about corrosion, the oem honda stuff was good for ten years, I did it at six years. I also checked out tranny fluid and the local honda dealer even at $10, I could not beat the price because of shipping costs. My Valvoline 0-20 oil change and napa platium oil filter seem to be working very good. Next change which I am going to do early might just use the same for the extreme cold weather. I think platinum ultra 05-20 may not be as good in extreme cold weather-great summer oil however. I need to go back and see that cold weather test, I might be wrong here. Is Valvoline 0-20 better than 05-20 pennnziol ultra platinum in extreme cold? I know both are excellent and have all ready have both. this is just routine stuff that should be looked at with any car.:hmmm?: kind of like puzzles:paper:

tranny oil $6.3 shipping $23 that's $29. I would have to buy like 20 qts at a time:rotfl:not a bad idea though amazon wasn't any cheaper either. Back to honda dealer $10 a qt at a time,:pat:
 
Do you man, I was only trying to help. You don't have to listen to anyone. I did not say to buy there MTF fluid I semple suggested they have good deals and that I like them as a company since they worked with me in the past.
 
:badger:I bet if I needed parts they would be the place to go. I am not doing anything more on the cooling department other then getting a real temp gauge maybe I am not sure limp mode or high temp gauge is enough. Right now I plan on tuning and a set of all season tires when I have to take o:tap:ff the HP summer tires. These Hondas are just made too well, I am use to a old dodge and broken cars. :spazface:
 
Looks like I found my next tire the potenza re980as $125 each , but the rebate is $70 for two steak dinners.$503-$70=427$ at tire easy. I still have to check other sites. these all season have 3rd sips and snow ridge walls for 50% better snow. Never know if I go out and get stuck in snow. My blue neon will have monster snows on it. Winter is coming, both cars have Hp summer tires and they have to go.:popcorn::corndance::paper: looks like tire rack has the 980 too but with free road protection. I bought a set of fire hawks-with tire protection. I think one tire is about go bad road damage:flame:

Michelin 3+ as are on sale for about $500 or the 980 for $430 after rebate both are excellent. What to do?:brock::bananawhipdance::bananapoke::bananasplit::bananapop:
 
Looks like the Michelin 3+ is the best, just not sure if the extra $70 is worth it.:cucumber: Its more like $50 difference. I know how great handling tire s Michelin is, I had their summer tire once and it was outstanding. a AS tire is most useful, . My summer tires should be taken off in a month. 500 tread wear as to summer 340.

I really liked my Potenza S-04 I have not tried the all season 980s but I can only imagine they are worth every penny.
 
Michelin3+ is 3% better than the 980, seeing how tires can make a huge difference and with 500 tread life. either one is sure to be excellent.:corndance:
 
dedicated summer / dedicated winter is still a huge improvement over all seasons. Especially if you live in an area with a decent amount of snow.
 
discounttiredirect four 225 45 17 Michelin pilot sport 3+ AS with tire 2/32 lifetime replacement $540.36-these tires are rated Y or 185mph. sport 3+ is 2 pounds lighter than 980. The 980 was $32 less not much difference. The Y Michelin 3+:paper: tires 185mph are the most sporty and balanced very well. The 980 is rated w 168mph.. It looked to me that no one can match the French kiss. I have blown a tire under this war and they ask little questions and send a replacement. As far as I know no one else does this and discountiredirect gave a discount on tire war too because I bug them.:driving:I did not go with Michelin summer tires because they are so pricy but the 3+pilot sport is not, kind of strange being a much longer tire life than a summer one. Car tires are always important:lildevil::pianodance: Next I will start tuning- I am now out of car dough.:pinkdomokundance:
 
my firehawks 500 only have about 1500 miles on them at this rate-I will not need new tires for a decade.:rotfl:
 
  • I got the number 1 Michelin as tire coming-Ha Ha no Bridgestone 980 for me :badger: IU see a few blown tires in future ha ha under war.
 
3+ Michelin tire is 2 pds lighter than 980 and saves over $100 in gas compared to the thirstiest ultra HP as 980, so right there sometimes a cheaper tire isn't the cheapest over time. However a y tire 185mph won't last as long as a w 166mph tire, but the difference is very small. The tired tire story of banter containment :popcorn::bananawhipdance::excited: I also have tested tire pressure and usually set them at 34pds, that's 2 pds more then stock and are not running stock size 215. I find big difference in 225 rides much nicer over potholes.:hatsoff:
