Well, you can all tell me to say goodbye to our 2012 Honda Pilot. Last weekend I changed the oil to Mobil 1 10w-30 from the recommended 0w-20 (also Mobil 1). Amazingly, when I started the engine after filling it with oil, it ran. Sunday I hooked the boat up and we went down to Lake Mohave for...

I just bought an MF 224 square baler. What it is probably doesn't matter for my question though. Baling with it the first time yesterday, my son called to say the gear box was dripping oil. Tightening bolts did not help and part of the gasket/shim was sticking out the side of the gear box...

My 19 yo son changed the oil on his 2000 Camry yesterday. After I intervened to refill the transmission and actually drain the crankcase, it went fine. The transmission probably needed a fluid change anyway. What concerns me is the lack of a washer on the oil drain bolt. Is this normal on a...
