    2013 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.0T - Amsoil 5w30 vs 5w40 vs 0w40

    The issue with my 2L turbo, though not the same engine, is fuel dilution. So a heavier oil last a bit longer. I went 5k on 5w30 and oil test always came back OK but fuel dilution. It will make oil over 5k mile OCI and be about a1/8 -1/4 quart over full.

    I cut a lot of sod out this spring. Used a long handled ice scraper. Cut it into bricks twice the blade length and one blade wide. After they sit a couple days they come out really easy. I used the sod to fill low spots.

    Swollen Lithium Battery

    I had a Verizon hot spot that was plugged in all the time. It got swelled up battery. I put a timer in it that turns on and off a few times a day to keep the thing from always being on charge.

    Putting gravel over lawn - any landscape experts?

    I have a gravel drive that is not used much. You still are going to get weeds growing in it. I have to spray twice a year. Thought about using salt as a more long term plant preventer but there are some trees at the edge.

    I don't get to the big urban areas. Never seen a Thornton's. I see the one long time Standard/Amoco/BP truck stop in my area switched to a Phillips 66. There use to be a lot of them but they all went Circle K a few years ago. The local mom and pop gas station I use to get all my premium gas...
