    Classic vs Modern Engine Break-In

    I’m wondering this as well, but I’d dump the factory fill much earlier

    With oil so advanced now, can freshly built engines be broken in with synthetic?

    Probably a dumb question, but I see a lot of newer cars are factory filled with synthetic. Would this be ok to do on a freshly built old school V8? I doubt I would ever do it, but just curious. Also, what is the latest info on properly breaking in a newly built motor. I’ve seen so many different...

    High zinc oil

    So is Castrol GTX still the high zinc conventional choice? What other conventionals from Walmart are considered high zinc, not including the HDEO’s?

    What’s your favorite weed and grass killer spray concentrate?

    I’m in Northern California and just wondering what all yall here like to use to kill weeds. I’ve been using Spectracide Weed and Grass killer from Home Depot. I buy the 32oz concentrate bottle and mix it in a gallon pump/spray bottle. Anything better/cheaper? Please chime in.

    Anyone compare CAT Power Stations/Battery Jumpers from Costco?

    I actually haven’t even got to charge it in over a year since I lost the charging cable. I’d buy one from Amazon, but I keep thinking I will run into it when I’m digging thru all my junk lol! I was still able to jumpstart a few cars with low batteries just a month ago.

    Anyone compare CAT Power Stations/Battery Jumpers from Costco?

    I’ve have this CAT #CJ1000DXT Power Station for the past few years and it’s been great, but definitely bulky and heavy. I wonder how it compares in performance to the newer CAT Lithium Power Station #PPSCL3 from Costco. Physically it is tiny and very lightweight in comparison. Old model New...
