I've only ever owned the traditional lawn tractor and push mowers. I recently purchased a new house with a fairly large yard, about 2 acres worth of grass. So I am looking to finally ditch the old lawn tractor and give a zero turn a go. I was just curious what brands and models folks have had...

Valvoline because I like their easy pour cap. Plus Valvoline's latest add packs is one the better ones around on paper right now However you'll never notice the difference between either. Both really good

I stapled on old towel on my 2003 z71 seat. It's very tacky yes, but its comfortable and cheap, and you can pull it tight enough to fit snug before you staple it down. Sometimes facebook market has some of these model seats for sale in decent condition.

Fram Ultra probably your best bet. As you said, lots of info on it here and it is generally liked very well by most. Easy to find and not terribly expensive, that's what I would go with.

The 99-02 5.3 are some of the most reliable engines GM has made. The 03-06 (some 07 classics) are good too. I have a 2001 5.3 with 250k. This motor will not care what oil you use so long as it has oil. 5w-20 or 15w40...it will not care. You'll may get some noises along the way, lifters or...

It looks like aside from price, nobody can give you a legitimate downside to using HiMi oil. I'm certainly not familiar with oil to the level most of these guys are, but from what I'm reading, I don't know why you wouldn't try HiMi. Again, unless a small change in price is a concern. In my my...

Valvoline's easy pour cap on the 5qt jug is enough alone to make me enjoy using their oil. They also have a good reputation in the high mileage department.

Advocates for both sides! Just as I expected lol, thanks fellas

Started an oil change and realized I didn't have any spare filters in stock. The filter currently on the car is a Fram ultra guard and it only has 5k on it so I have no issue using it again. My question is would you guys normally uninstall it and drain it out? I thought I remembered a thread...

A recent post about moly by aquariuscsm has me curious...which oils companies are confirmed di or tri moly user? Valvoline for example has been using moly with their latest formulas...which do they use? What about the other major readily available brands Pennzoil/QS, Castrol, Supertech, etc

Originally Posted by RDY4WAR Keep in mind that there's different types of moly, namely dinuclear and trinuclear MoDTC. Trinuclear MoDTC is much more effective than dinuclear MoDTC and at lower concentrations. Trinuclear MoDTC at 80 ppm is more effective than dinuclear MoDTC at 200 ppm, for...

QSUD has been shining lately. I use it in 3 vehicles and even the mower loves it. I mostly like how it's a tad thicker than the PP & PUP. For the price, it's the bomb.com
