I just add “forum” to the back of my search

If you've ever owned an older car, you know that this is the absolute best approach.

Good luck getting exceptionally niche advice for things like that on reddit. Forums get so much more specific, you get an entire forum dedicated to one car model that was only built for 5 years and a bunch of people there know literally everything about it, like the fact that you're better off getting an aftermarket PCV valve because those are built a bit better and don't fail early, or the fact that the shifter cable has the tendency to get water in it so you better be careful shifting out of park on a really cold morning, you might just snap the cable if it's old.

Yeah the problem there is VerticalScope has a hidden hand in all those pies and draconian monetization policies.
