 2006 Honda Pilot Sorry for the kind of blurry photo. I went for a drive on the highway and I kept hearing this rattle. When I got home, I looked underneath my car and found this part that I'm pointing to flopping up and down. Does anyone have any idea what part this is?

InitialDave posted:It's a heat shield for the exhaust. They're a common thing to fail like that on loads of cars, and yes, it's a very annoying reverberation. Can you see any rough holes in it where it's pulled away from its mounting points? A lot of the time, you can just use a large washer at each fastener to get it firmly attached once more, even if it's torn free. I thought it was the heat shield too, thanks for helping me confirm it. Looks like there's three points where it tore from, two mounts roughly where I took the picture and one more near the middle of the exhaust. I'll look into the washers, thanks. I took this in Thursday to get an oil change and they didn't mention this at all. Maybe they missed it? I can't iamgine that this happened in the last two days.

BLARGHLE posted:Those of you with multiple vehicles- what do you about maintenance on your infrequently driven cars? Every 3 - 6 months is probably okay. The PO of my Miata had been putting in premium gas. It definitely doesn't require it and I've just been putting in premium too. I want to switch to regular gas. Should I wait until the tank is almost empty and then fill it up or just put in regular the next time I fill up?

So I have a 2014 Outback with possible oil consumption issues. Car is at the dealership to check for leaks right now. If there's no leaks they'll start a consumption test. If it's found to be burning oil, they'll replace the whole shortblock. Will that affect resale value down the line? It's a known issue and there's a few TSBs for oil consumption if that means anything.
