The dealership I got my 2018 5.7 Tundra from offers free oil changes for life, but after the experience there I wouldn't trust them to fill the windshield washer fluid much less the oil. Got a good deal otherwise I would have ran away and never looked back. Plus some of us its just easier to...

That's WAY ocd in my opinion. Just do the oil change if the car is running good. You are running quality oil at good intervals and running quality gas. There shouldn't be any build up in the crankcase or intake. Running that much mmo can cause build up on plugs. My dad always warned me about...

How fast do amtraks usually run on wide open tracks? Good Lord. Even if texting he had to have known he was hauling the mail.

Dirty oil like that is the norm on the new EGR laden diesels. You should see the intakes and heads on them after 80-100K miles. Some are completly clogged with soot and will lead to a burned up engine. Soot in that amount in the oil is abrasive. EGR diesels dont last near as long as they used...

That's exactly what I did. I have a gun with 274 in It for u joints, mower decks etc. I found a spare gun I forgot I had, that has the 238 in It for everything else.

Due to their fuel discount program my wife buys fuel at Kroger. I see Flying J trucks filling the tanks there. She fills the car with 93 octane as directed. This is for a 2011 LS3 V8 Camaro. I have been driving the car as of late. I have been running Shell 93 in it. I reset the cars computer...

While buying a oil filter for my duramax diesel I picked up a fram ultra for it. The cartridge was rattling loose in the filter can. I picked up another that wasn't and purchased it. Informed the attendant of the faulty one.Everyone makes a faulty filter now and then. I've found Wix filters over...

I will be using this grease to lube my 2500HD pickup chassis and u-joints. I will also use it to lube the farm tractor, bush hog, and case dozer. 238#2, 221#2 or 274#2? I love the 238#2 but is it too heavy for u-joints? I would rather have to keep up with just one grease. Would 221#2 be a better...

Kyle busch ain't got nothing on Kurt busch. I don't like either of them, but Kyle is sedate compared to Kurt, whom needs to be in a mental hospital.

Here we go. Finally got it to work. What do yall think about the aluminum content being up? Its 2ppm higher than others ive seen on this same engine and oci. free image hosting

I'm working on it guys. The jpeg file is huge on my computer, but when I upload it to photobucket it becomes small. So far haven't seen a way to resize it. Any idea? I haven't used photobucket in several years.

The only thing I question is the little higher than normal aluminum content. anyone have any suggestions? This engine has ran Delo 400 15-40 its entire life. 5000-6600 drain intervils. All filters Wix Gold. Mixture of city and highway. Some towing.

I have a 7hp B&S INTEK on my my snapper. Very powerful, burns no oil, 1st pull cold start. Sometimes takes 3 pulls if hot and I try to restart it right away. Almost 6 years old now. No complaints. Just change the oil once or twice a season. Every spring change spark plug and air filter, sharpen...

Its been said here many times that LAPD uses 15-40 in their Ford crown vic fleet. My dept which has prolly over 5000 vehicles total uses a synthetic blend in 10w-30. Most of our cars are Vics, starting to get a few Chargers as well.

I am tired of all the sweeping after mowing. I have always used Stihl 2 cycle equipment. Home depot has the Echo PB-251 for about $170. Seems like a ok deal. My dad has the Stihl bg 85. Its a nice unit and built solid like a Stihl should be but he paid like 300 for it. How does the Echo compare...

Dang your 1st post is hard to read. Did you go to school?

My family has been using Stihl products for 30 years. My dad finally wore out his 20 year old trimmer. I have a FS-85 trimmer and love it, and was going to buy another for my dad, but stihl no longer makes it. Its either a smaller FS-80 with the pro engine or FS-90 with the 4-mix. I guess ill...

Anyone here have any expierence with Stihl's 4-MIX trimmer engines? Good or bad? All their website says is that it is some hybrid of 2 and 4 cycle.

What you also should do is cross all those numbers at the Wix filter web site and find the one with the lowest micron rating. A bigger filter will do you no good if it has a higher micron rating that the factory filter- thus letting more dirt through.

my dad and I have been using Wix/Napa Gold and AC Delco filters for 30 years, never a issue. Good stuff.
