Costco Full Synthetic Motor Oil – 6 Pack – 1 Quart Bottles (2.49 /qt) $14.99

Costco now has Full Synthetic Motor Oil sold in a 6 Pack box of 1 quart bottles for $14.99 . It’s pretty much $2.49 /qt. Thats cheaper than Walmart Supertech and Mobil 1. Even Amazon has full synthetic motor oil : https://amzn.to/2Pkr0dc . This is more convenient if buying the 5 quart jug is not enough oil for your truck, or for smaller car and SUV engines that need a only 3.5 quarts. It is also easier to store and handle than a 5 quart jug.

There are so many new full synthetic motor oils on the market with smaller hybrid and turbo engines. I like that there are more competition from different brands. For me I am not brand specific. I remember paying $30- $35 for 5 quarts. 10 years later, Pennzoil, Valvoline, Castrol, Walmart SuperTech and now Costco Kirkland Signature has a Full synthetic 5w-30 motor oil selling for about $12 – $38 dollars! You can even buy it online https://amzn.to/2IC0Opk . What oil do you use, and have you used the other FULL SYNTHETIC brands or do you still use Conventional motor oil?

Honda Clarity: Switching to 17″ Wheels and Tires – Style, Specs, Winter tires, Cost & Weight

Honda Clarity switching from 18 inch to 17 inch wheels:
So if you are looking for winter or aftermarket wheels and tires for your 2018+ Honda Clarity this is the video for you. I have been searching various online tire retailers for 17 inch wheels for my 2018 Honda Clarity for a different look as well as for a second set for winter driving. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

For the 2018 Honda Clarity, the original wheel size is 8Jx18 inch rims with +50mm offset and a 5×114.3 bolt pattern. The center bore of the hub is 64.1 mm. The overall tire wheel per tire is 53 lbs. I had my original 2008 Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 – 17 inch OEM ENKEI wheel set in my garage. It has a 7.5Jx17 inch rim with +45mm offset, and 5×114.3 bolt pattern and a 66.1 mm center bore. It fits perfectly with hub – centric spacers with the 64.1mm wheel center bore to Nissan’s 66.1mm ( https://amzn.to/3ivYQtx ). With the 215 / 55 R17 tires and 17 wheel the Nissan Altima wheel and tire weights 48 lbs – (5 lbs lighter than the 18 in. OEM). My coworker has a Tesla Model 3 with 235/45ZR18 98W 8.5Jx18 +40mm offset 5×114.3 that would have fit as well.

The 215 /55 R 17 tires ( https://amzn.to/31MfmQq ) are the same diameter with more side wall. than the OEM Michelin Energy Saver 235 / 45 R 18 tires ( https://amzn.to/3e1JOZd ) . At 3900 miles, I hit a road imperfection and it ruined my sidewall of my Michelin Energy Saver causing it to destroy the tire. I had temporary spare, however i was only able to drive a 50 MPH and the TPMS was alerting. I now carry my full size spare and tools for longer road trips and my compact for everyday driving.

Tire Size Availability:
The local tire shop had one 235 / 45 R 18 sized tire available. It was not a low rolling resistant tire. 215 / 55 r 17 size was more common and with higher selection without special order. This makes it better to use for my road trips.

MPG / EV Range:
The Michelin Energy Saver 235 / 45 R 18 tires ( https://amzn.to/3e1JOZd ) is one of the one of the most efficient LLR tires and gives me about 51 EV miles and 42 MPG for my Clarity. I also have it on my 2017 Chevy Volt. I expect with switching to 17 inch LLR tires, i should get more MPG and EV range with the slightly narrower tires.

COST:
Overall of tire purchases, 17 inch tires are about $30-50 less expensive per tire than 18 inch tires. For winter driving in the snow, BridgeStone Blizzak in for our 18 inch wheels ( https://amzn.to/2YWQ681 ) costs about $50+ more per tire than the 17 inch wheels ( https://amzn.to/2NRMH4a ) . So cost is another reason to switching to 17 inch wheel sets.

I will be driving with this setup for about 500 miles to see if there are more benefits to switching from 18 inch to 17 inch wheels. Tune in later for the results. Otherwise there are other DIY and videos on this channel and playlists about my 2018 Honda Clarity.

DIY: Installing Deer Warning Whistles! – Why you should use screws instead of mounting tape.

So there’s been more deer around and I figured I get a some deer warning whistles and put them on my Honda Clarity . They sell similar ones online: https://amzn.to/2RfUax1 . I used screws to mount to the front of my car.

The two deer warning whistle attached on to the bumper with foam adhesive tape. There are screw holes on the mounts, however the foam tape holds it fine for about 2 years.

It finally tore the foam and the other one ripped off due to wind speed. This time around i drilled two pilot holes and added two flat head screws. I used a 1/16 drill bit ( https://amzn.to/3hc9Ziz ) on my Ryobi power drill (https://amzn.to/30quh1O ). I had to use aluminum tape (https://amzn.to/2Yl5Xvv) to make the small drill bit see my video of how i did it.

So my there are two types of whistles included in the package, one with closed back end and one with a open back end. The closed one is louder is placed on the passenger side. The open one is quieter and is placed on the driver side. When driving at highway speeds I can hear the passenger side with the passenger window down.

Enjoy and hope this helps!
