I purchased a used 2014 Ram Ecodiesel that included a oil change. Truck was left at dealership and I picked it up after the service. As always, I did a walk around for damages and popped the hood. The oil filter housing was slightly duty, with no visual clues of recently being touched. The oil...

Picked up 9 tubes at walmart marked down from 4.19 to .75 but rang up as .25 a tube. I do own a boat trailer which is used for about 3mile trips twice a month. Is this grease good enough for lawnmower spindles? For high resistance against winter rust and corrosion. Engineered to meet a wide...

I picked up a gallon on sale for 9.00. I'll be using it in my boat - 350mag mercury. Going to mix in one qt of vtwin 50w oil for the addtives package.

Edit--- 32oz is one liter. So the price is not as good as I thought but I am still curious about the product I did read on a vendor website in fine print "not for automitve use". Couldn't find any other info. I guess it's not formulated for long term car use. Boats is one year / 100hrs which I...

IMO non-tested .02 the most of Lucas additives or fixers are good on well wornout engines. I run Lucas products in my beater truck. Also my work car crownvic with a bad transmission has a liter of the trans stop slip in it. Hold it together till I get another car.

I did a forum search with not a single posting on evinrude hpf-xr drive gear lube. Reading an website boating magazine test review of various drive gear lubes the evinrude hpf-xr did very well when looking at all testing methods. Then when I look price I was stunned. Merc gear oil is about...

My local merc dealer doesn't sell engine coupler grease (spline). Both senior techs said they use the 2-4-c grease and they implied that it isn't a big deal to go a few years without greasing it. I did find the 18-9200 Sierra spline grease is only 8-12 per tube. Napa part stores and online...

http://www.timken.com/en-us/products/lubrication/Documents/Grease_082504reference.pdf has a very large chart which places many brands and types of grease into catagories. Very handy!

I've read that pryoplex is what mercruiser boat engines relabled for use on the marine engines coupler spline. Merc then recommends a different spec grease for the ujoints and gimble bearing. I'm in the search for the one good do it all grease....

Just the thread I was about to ask a topic on. Needed to find a high quality grease that would work in my Mercrusier Bravo 1 outdrive various bearings, trailer wheels, and my Gravely Lawnmower. I figure it would be cheaper and better to buy one high quality grease tube than it would be to buy...

Used a supertech on my old snapper lawnmower. About 3 years later I pulled the filter an cut it apart. It had held up to three years of use. If good filters clean so well that they restrict flow then just get a taller filter. Most boats have plenty of room.

Its for my 01 golf. My wifes car is the 03 Jetta. Thanks for that link on the cheap mount. A membere just emailed me and has one used. Even cheaper Gotta save money somehow.. Just bought a new Beratta autoloader shotgun.
