    Filter size info required please

    Most M18 filters are intended for GM V6s and do not have a bypass. Unless your adapter has one, you are taking a risk running without. Pretty much the only one with bypass that I know of is for a 2012-2015 Chevrolet Spark (Matiz). Fram 11462 Mahle 996 etc. They will be approximately 65mm tall...

    Does gasoline no longer turn yellow/orange with age?

    Originally Posted by Lubener I go by the smell of the gas not the color. Yes, gasoline develops an odd sour smell when it goes bad.

    Amazon Prime Pantry Gone

    Thanks for that. I still don't see any way to get there from the home page. You have to use a bookmark or web search etc.

Everything has been going out of stock over the last few days...

    Hard Drive reliability over the long term

    How's this for long term? I think it's getting to the end of its life but I can't complain. It's running PVR software 24/7 ... last reboot was in September. Power outage.

    Win10 bsod's evry day

    In my experience this is usually a hardware issue, with memory topping the list. Some machines have diagnostics built into the BIOS you can try.
