Seems like a good report, but the previous report note the oil viscosity. Many have said that it might have been an error in the analysis.

A lot of this is common sense if you do a lot of wrenching, but some of it is not that obvious. This guy does a great job of putting all the tips together in a demo of exhaust manifold removal from a head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PKNCVXvZ6w

I am working with a friend who had a differential sandblasted for a late 60's musclecar. The blasting company made a mistake, and it has some blasting media inside the gear housing. We are cleaning it up, but I want to flush out the diff one or twice. I have a lot of cheap 5w30 available, could...

Quite a few stations in the $1.99 to $2.15 range, but one station that sells generic gas was $1.74.

I see the other message appears to be locked. For fear of offending my ancestors, the RBBS gods, I think most people have lost sight that this is a labor of love. The software costs money ( UBB Threads ?), although not a lot . But the servers (or hosting service), the time spent moderating and...

So what is MMO ? I have never used it, and I do not see any need for it in my personal fleet. It can go in oil, it can go in the fuel tank as well, so my thought is that at best its harmless . Why bother ?

I have a nice S&W 686-3 stainless revolver in .357. I never use it, and have plenty of other guns, but I rarely buy or sell firearms. I also have a collectors licence in my state that was required if you buy / sell more than X in a year, but the details are sketchy. Anyhow, I have zero interest...

Used Oil Analysis for a 2000 Kohler 5e gas marine generator. It is powered by a Kawasaki FD510 2 cylinder engine, 400 cc 16 hp. This unit has about 166 hours, and I have used Amsoil 10w40 on it since I bought the boat when it had about 40 hours on it.

Filter had about 100 engines hours, seem fine.

M1-102 filter with 8000 miles on Ford Escape with 2.0 turbo..

I am concerned about the future availability of green coolant. I have a 2000 Kohler 5e marine generator , powered by a liquid cooled Kawasaki FD501D twin cylinder OHV engine, 16 hp of 437 cc displacement. I have always used green coolant, and it is the only machine I own still using green...

1971 Datsun 240-z 1971 Chevelle SS 454 I was sorry I did because both of those, in good shape, are highly sought by collectors. My problem was that at that time (late 70's, early 80's) I could not afford to keep multiple vehicles. (Inspired by Kira)

I just got the latest monthly maintenance report for my 2017 Escape 2.0 Ecoboost. Ford has removed the section that shows percent remaining life for engine oil. There is no option to display it on the car. I am really upset- how can I tell if I am getting close to needing an oil change. This...

I am thinking of using some Rotella T6 5w40 in a Mini Cooper. I have a few gallons in the garage, and no longer have a diesel engine. It is rated CJ4 and CK4.

Comparison between a virgin Quicksilver water separating gas filter , and a used Sierra equivalent, in service for 2 years. The Mercruiser / Quicksilver is part 35-866340K01 and the Sierra is a popular line of marine replacement parts. The Sierra was in service for about 100 hours, or about...

Virgin Mercruiser oil filter cut open. This filter is commonly used on GM based marine engines of the 90's to 201x's, 4.3 V6, 5.0 and 5.7 V8 and 7.4 454. Similar spec filters are the M1-111, AC Delco PF454, Wix 57099, Amsoil EAO59, My personal observations are: can is a bit thinner than premium...

I decided to cut open a popular water-separating fuel filter used on my boat, mostly out of curiosity and to see how they work, and to compare with typical oil filters. This model - Mercruiser / Quicksilver 35-802893Q01 is very common on Mercruiser engines. The media is supposed to be different...
