    75w90 auto oil in LU

    All gear oil will go milky when water is added. Diffs with water in them do the same as a lower unit.

    Motomaster MOPH2 (FL820s equivalent) 6k kms Ford V10

    Looks like a decent filter

    Frugal choice for 5k OCIs on 5.4 3v

    Run synthetic 5W30 and dont look back.

    The Army’s new rifle - the XM7

    It’s too expensive for a general service rifle. Way over complicated. It major conflict happens, the rifle will become too expensive to build. Russia Ukraine war is showing us this. Same thing as ww2. Thompson was a way nicer sub machine gun than the sten, but the British needed the cheaper gun.

    AC/Delco Syn 5W/30, 5544 OCI, 2015 Canyon 3.6L

    I would run your Kirkland 5W30 oil but for less miles. The short trips are probably whats giving you the higher numbers.

    M1-212a torn C&P

    So some extent, I believe we have filter tears due to longer running time on them. Even the beloved *cough cough* 820S, Ive never had a tear(as far as I know) but they have known to tear. I cut filters open all the time now because of this website. I honestly wonder how many tears are in every...

    4.6 Grand Marquis LS 98 RPM's

    Totally normal. Dont waste your money parts you dont need. Original Ford parts are better than most junk they sell these days.

    snowblower burning oil

    You can buy a replacement carb off Amazon for 20 bucks that will have high and low speed mixture adjusting screws. Makes a big difference. Those old engines never ran as nice as a Chonda engine. They fart and bang on occasion. Mine is 20 years old now. I’ve always ran synthetic 5W30. Doesn’t use...

    Mobil 1 Classic 0W30: best cold weather oil?

    I’ve posted this before but….. when I was going to flight school I was pretty broke. School was pretty expensive. I didn’t pay for plug in parking. My 1998 C1500 4.3 was left outside all day not plugged in. I ran Mobil 1 5W30. Always started. I sold it when it rolled over 300,000 kms in 2010. It...

    KIA/Huundai crush washers

    My dad just buys it from the Kia dealer. I’ve reused them and they have never leaked. I always change is oil for him.

    Home DIYer scan tool.

    Most are Chinese junk. Pay your money and take your chances. Updates are horrible. Ancel fx1000 is what I bought for gm vehicles. It gets the job done but the menus are horrible. I haven’t seen an update in months. Auto vin scan has always locked it up. I use BlueDriver most times. It’s ok. No...

    Cold start at -35°F with 10W30 = no oil pressure

    10W30 will pump when cold. It’s not the greatest but having zero oil pressure is nonsense. I run synthetic 5W30 year round. My truck sits at the airport for days on end. No issues. No oil consumption. 13 years old and hasn’t blown up yet.
