Purchased an air filter online. Made in USA by a major company. Notice the overrun from the foam mold on the filter element and the “dog ear”. The glue on the back isn’t center and just appears to be slapped on. The edges look like they were trimmed with an Exacto. This company makes good oil...

Is it just me or has anyone noticed that some oils that were always in stock are now hit or miss. I stopped by my local Walmarkts this weekend and the shelves were less that half stocked. Several weights and brands completely out of stock. I will say that this particular store is known for poor...

I recently purchased a new Toro Timecutter 42”. The machine runs great and seems to be well built but the cut is less than desirable. I have checked the side to side and front to rear level of the deck. I have checked tire pressures and even adjusted the anti scalp wheels. I just can seem to...

I have been a Gasbuddy member for some time and have enjoyed the Gasback rewards. However I have recently noticed that large purchases where I would get more “Gasback” are not being recognized by the app and I am missing rewards. Are there other Gasbuddy members on here and what have been their...

Recently charged up my old 2m Yaesu HT. I had to update the tone frequencies on some of stored repeaters on the unit. I’ve been scanning the airwaves the last couple of days. Doesn’t seem like as much traffic as I remembered. Anyone licensed?

As a land surveyor, I find myself in the middle of nowhere from time to time performing work. I generally have a stash of some cheap canned meat or other food to throw in my tool belt so I can eat while I’m away from the truck. My go to’s are Beanie Weenie and Vienna (has to be BBQ) and maybe...

So I ordered a large heavy item the 1st week of November. (600lbs). Shipping company called to schedule a delivery date and we set one up for last Tuesday. Well, the shipment didn’t arrive and I didn’t not receive a call or anything. The whole time I can run the tracking number and it shows it’s...

A lot (ok 95%) of their material and shows can be quite raunchy but they always put a smile on my face. One of those smiles that makes your face hurt.

I recently noticed that my a/c light starts blinking intermittently and the a/c begins to quit blowing cold air. I can cycle the ac switch, leaving it off for 10 seconds, and the ac will start back working. I know if the light is blinking then the ac speed sensor is detecting a mismatch between...

Received an email from Valvoline today. The Original. Better Than Ever. Valvoline motor oil has been reformulated to even provide better protection against the four major causes of engine breakdown - heat, friction, wear, and deposits. Because an original never stops improving. So what was...

Deep thought. Have you ever smelled your clean fresh oil out of the bottle? I have a stash of different oils and weights naturally because I'm an oil snob and a member of BitOG. Some bought on sale and such. The following is a description of the smells encountered. AMSOIL OE 0w20. Wow...

Code 2013 Toyota Tacoma 4x2 2.7L 4cyl 70,027 miles on vehicle NAPA Syn 0w20 Fram Extra Guard ([censored]) Blackstone Comments: The NAPA oil and Fram filter held up quite well. The viscosity was right in spec for 0w20 oil and it obviously did a good job of keeping internal parts well...

Subaru Factory Fill 3864 miles Subaru WRX STi Car was gently driven for the most part with some hard pulls after 1000 miles for break in purposes. Some stop and go daily commuting. I wish I had changed this oil sooner but I don't think it's that bad for a first oil change. I expected high iron...
