    Mahle Hyundai Palisade 7500 miles

    The dealer put this filter in. Looks like a cheap version. Not bad, just cheap. Held up well. Put in a Fram XG in its place.

    PQIA not testing PCMO lately?

    Looking at the PQIA website, I don't see any oils tested since 2020. What's going on here? https://pqia.org/passenger-car-motor-oil/

    Walmart low on oil

    I went there yesterday to get some 5W30 and had a hard time finding it. I needed 7 qts and the only oil to get me a jug of 5 Qts and 2 single qts was Castrol FS 5W30. Was hoping for some QSUD or SuperTech, but they had none. Valvoline and Pennzoil was very low too. Next time I may just order...

    0W20 shortage at Walmart

    Went in yesterday to buy what I need to change my oil. I could not find any 0W20 oil except some high mileage and a few small quarts. I had to settle for SuperTech 5W20. Thought that was strange.

    Craftsman V-Twin Riding Mower

    I am looking to buy this Craftsman V-Twin 46 riding mower. Does anyone here own one? How's the quality on it? Would you say a V-Twin is better than a single piston mower, power aside? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Troy-Bi..._-pipinstock-_-307458207-_-307458216-_-N Would this be a good buy, in...

    Fire up

    Today I fired up my Craftsman LT1000 and Craftsman 4-cycle weedeater. Ah, love the sound and sights of small engines coming back to life. Some grass spots were getting tall and had to do some cutting. The season is here!

    2nd oil change, now or stretch?

    BITOG, I bought a brand new 2018 Mazda 3 with a 2.5 engine. I did my first OC at 5k. Put in Pennzoil Platinum 0w-20 with a Fram Ultra. I'm now at 10K miles, 5k on oil. Due to wear metals and still some break in, should I change the second time at 5k or is 7-10k safe already?

    What fuel are you running?

    Many agree that it's better to run ethanol free as in these small engines. What are you guys running? I mostly run regular gas but thinking to switch to ethanol free altogether now.

    End of shaft wiggles. Screw hole enlarged

    Hi all, My 4 cycle Craftsman developed a problem. The end of the shaft will wiggle because the screw holding the shaft in place broke and enlarged the hole. The screw hole is now about 1/4" wide. I can either, tap a new hole, or replace the lower half shaft. Anyone else had this issue?

    How long would you run QS-HM for?

    After seeing the PQIA results for the QS-HM 5w30, I went ahead and switched to it. I've been contemplating on using this oil before but wasn't sure. Additive package is great, and has a strong TBN. With the info in the link below, how much would you run this oil for? 5-6k miles? It's a syn-blend...

    M1-AP analyses coming in slow

    It's been 1 year since M1 AP was released, yet we're not seeing many analyses on how the oil is holding up, and of the ones we've seen, none were even remotely close to 20k miles. I know that part of the reason is the price, and it doesn't seem like it wants to come down. Has anyone seen a...

    What did you do to your tractor today?

    I checked the oil and filter, and then mowed the yard. Some grass is starting to get taller.

    Nissan Armada Transmission Fluid?

    Hey guys, My brother-in-law just won a 2010 Armada for 2000 bucks. All it needs is a bumper, bumper reinforcement, grille, and airbag. We'll be changing most of the fluids on it. I've never really dealt with Nissans, so wanted to get your input on what is a good aftermarket transmission fluid...

    Valvoline's new Tought Rugged looking jug

    As I was looking through Walmart's oil isle, I noticed Valvoline's new rugged & tough looking jugs. Looks pretty good, I'd say. QS and Pennzoil changed their jugs, not Valvoline...I have a feeling that Mobil 1 is next...
