I remove the passenger side front wheel when I change mine on a 2018 Ram 3500. Gives better access for a stiff old man. Still a pain but I can do it. (Don't forget to grease that hidden fitting on the 4x4 models)

I have a 2008 Wrangler with the Lifetime Warranty. It is due the 15 year inspection this fall. I have had the previous inspections done and the warranty is still honored. I have had a few repairs covered by the warranty - axle seals, intake gasket leak, oil pan leak, maybe others I don't...

I have a 2018 Ram 3500 with the Cummins 6.7. I use Rotella T6 5W-40 year round in S. Indiana. I do change it often-only put about 8,000 miles per year on the truck. Warranty requires 6 months oil changes, and warranty is for 8 years, 80,000 miles. T6 is a little spendy, but these trucks are not...

Thank you all for your input.

2008 Jeep Wrangler X, 2 door. 3.8L engine, 6 speed manual transmission, 100K miles. Started throwing a P0430 code - P0430 Code: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2). My question is: Does this code affect fueling, or does it just cause the ECM to set a code to alert that the cat...

I suggest you find a way to change it. We bought a 2013 Honda Crosstour AWD new. I changed the oil in the PTU at the first oil change. It did have a drain plug. The oil came our black and lumpy. Fill it with 75W140 rear end oil. Changed it every 2 or 3 oil changes after that. Always drained out...

That is a really good oil. I think it is the best oil for 2 stroke outboards. I use it in my pre-mix Evinrude 115 at a 50/1 or 55/1 ratio. I buy at a dealer from their bulk (55 gallon drum) tank for $40.00 / gallon. Limited smoke and actually removes carbon during use.

Vortex sells a boat trailer hub with bearings they warranty for 5 years / 100,00 miles. They are packed with Lucas Marine grease at the factory. Use of any other grease in the hubs will void the warranty. It is a calcium sulfonate grease.

I have a 2013 Honda Crosstour purchased new. At the first oil change (recommended by the computer) I changed all the driveline fluids. The transfer case oil looked like black, large curd cottage cheese. I refilled it with Mobil 1 75w-90 gear oil. I have replaced it a few times since, it comes...

OK by me. Seems you got your feathers a little ruffled Don't know why. Talk of cleaning / replacing the carb suggests to me that their may be corrosion or gunk.

I have a few pieces of small engine equipment around. Some get used infrequently. If one does not want to start I spray a little starter fluid (with a lubricant). Usually starts on next pull. I normally add a dose of Sea Foram in the gas tank after the engine starts.

Thank you for the correction.

My son uses this for his farm and construction equipment. It is a polyurea grease. John Deere uses polyurea for everything on their new equipment. Even the corn head grease from Deere is polyurea. Schaeffer's 219 is all we use. For whatever reason(s) the salesman changed him over from...

I think the best grease is any GC-LB that is applied at the correct interval.

My understanding is that XD100 means 100% synthetic. XD50 is a synthetic blend. The Evinrude/Johnson TCW3 oil is conventional base. The XD100 seeting on the ETEC engine does not mean the engine is running a 100:1 ratio, but rather the engine is set to consume the XD100 oil.
