I have a 3 year old Husqvarna weedeater that needs a carburetor. I screwed now up and put a premix in can that included the gasoline last run of season and ran it dry for winter. I had a fuel line in tank that I found broken. Replaced tank and now if I get it started I have leave choke on and...

I broke ,in my X350 with 5w20. Difference between the two are minimal. I changed oil after a year and 60 hours. No oil usage in that time frame.

2012 Impala 180k and never cleaned valves. Still get excellent mileage for what my mom drives. Mom drives it hard. As a retired technician, cars need rpm.

5k for 130k then life happens so she went to 30% on olm. 5k was 60% of monitor. She is saving 60.00 a year.

I don't know as I haven't used those. I do know she was Pennzoil all the way and was using oil. She was low at 5k then it started dropping quickly so I changed pcv valve and oil loss slowed up. Went Valvoline cause that was what was on sale and oil usage went to quart at 10k.

Why change? I run 0w20 in Louisiana heat.

When I worked for Toyota we had the V6 sludge motors. I was removing heads to clean and replacing seals. I tried new engine way but Toyota sent a bulletin for us to remove oil pan and pressure wash only. Only if it smoked afterwards could we request a new engine.

Just use Valvoline Advanced 0w20 and not worry. 8km is nothing for this oil. I use it in an Impala that is direct injection only. She has 177k and last oil change was 12k. Only difference is we use spec 5W30.

Normal for SBC with high mileage. Cam bearing goes first then rest. I've seen people put 20w50 as well as high volume oil pumps however that is a bandaid to further damage engine. Wish I had pictures of my dad's 350 after he ran the bandaid for a couple of years then oil pressure dropped to 0 at...

I wouldn't take a free J body. First one ate vacuum pump then transmission so I sold it. The lady I later married, bought a nice J body wagon and low miles. 3 engines and 2 transmissions along with being stranded more times than I can think, she finally bought an Oldsmobile full size. I had...

Get a demo. Used but new with used car prices and better warranty.

The lesson Ivan needs to learn is it's OK to turn down work especially if you aren't familiar enough with the vehicle. I have worked on many 6.5 when new and pumps were changed all the time for this reason. Over rev and game over.
