    Anyone know where you can buy MMO in Canada? Specifically Ottawa, Ontario.

    Haven't seen this since the '70s.

    Last year when gasoline was really expensive there was a story that the mob came up with the idea of building a pump and tank system inside an RV. They would drive the RV up to a gas station and park right over the tanks. Someone would run into the store and shop or talk it up for 15 or 20...

    Seeing Synthetic Oil on the Dipstick

    I changed the oil in my lawn tractor and push mower yesterday and had a devil of a time trying to determine if the motors were full or not. I use full synthetic oil (Mobil 1 in Lawn tractor and Pennzoil in push mower, both 10W30) and due to the oil's transparency, cannot really tell where the...

    B&S engine spewing blue smoke all of a sudden

    Wouldn't a motor with a blown head gasket lose compression and either not run at all or run really, really rough? I am surprised that all it did was burn oil. Am I missing something here?

    Effect of Burning Oil on a Spark Plug

    lawnmower oil

    "I use Syntec 0w30 in my JD mower, and I'm in the deep South. When I first started using 0w30, the B&S engine used a little oil. Over the course of 4-6 hours of use, oil consumption has dropped to zero." Any idea why these motors start burning oil temporarily when one switches to synthetic oil?

    lawnmower oil

    When a lawn tractor or mower is burning oil, is there any other negative effects this causes the machine other than the loss of oil?
