Claim Question?

My 30 year old aluminum sided home had hail storm damage to roof & siding. Insurance company paid claim for roof & full siding. Contractor said siding is "cosmetic" only and if it were his house, he would not replace siding, only roof. What happens if I use siding portion of funds to pay off the mortgage? Is my home still insurable? Would a new insurance company not insure my home if I switch or would they exclude siding?

O2 Sensor Flange studs rusted away.

2000 RX300 downstream sensor nut studs that hold sensor to pipe past cat completely disintegrated on removal. Pipe appears wider than bolt holes on new sensor. Other than metal zip ties going around pipe to hold new sensor in place, any suggestions for DIY on a Sunday afternoon and I need to pass OBD2 only emiss I'mions. No welding equipment. I can have 2 emissions incomplete and pass. Thank you.

DIY Oil & Filter Change

I'm pretty much done trying to hit 4.4 quarts out of a 5 gallon jug, when 4.4 puts me at bottom mark on dipstick. Just going to do full 5 quarts. (Checked oil next day within 5 minutes of half hour drive). '04, 222K on the clock. Bonus question - Most likely thing that is leaving slight drip on floor? VTEC Solenoid gasket?

2004 Element with 225K miles. Engine ran smooth, then overnight, it's sputtering bad. Filled up with gas 3 days prior, and didn't drive too much before issue. Scanner shows 5 misfire codes. I've added ISO Heet and letting that set overnight. Can all 4 plugs and/or ignition coils crap out at same time? Is it really that bad to use Amazon Iridium Plugs vs. NGK or Denso? Thank you.
