    Tractor Supply hydraulic oil class action suit

    If someone owns a 100,000 or 200,000 or 500,000 dollar tractor or any other heavy equipment…. Then they should read their OWNERS manual for the right hydraulic or transmission fluid to be put in them. Period. You have expensive high use equipment then the owner should be extremely aware of...

    Motorcraft FL820S cut open

    True… But the waviness of these 820s is rather shall we say…. Legendary. Guaranblankingtee XL Premium Guard filter would look way, way better than this.

    Yeah my engine in my ol 1995 Nissan with 242k miles on it decided to break in the Wendy’s drive thru …. Of all blanking places… timing chain broke. And my transmission went out on my Nissan Altima VQ with over 365,500 miles on it. Not too shabby being a cvt in it. I had put 326,000 miles on...

    The truth about oil change intervals and analysis

    Billt460…. That 0w will be pumped just fine at -20 F… Just like the 0w40 at 65 F. And the difference in time will likely be negligible between the two… Now… I hear you make really good waffles… What the thickness in cSt is your batter at 72 F ? :LOL:

    C&P 2 new CarQuest 84356 1 Made in China 1 made in Vietnam.

    Got those Carquest Premium oil filters for our vehicles… For good reason. Cheaper there by $4 vs exact same filters at Napa. And yes those filters are very high quality. Just like that rack of pork ribs I smoked on the grill last night were.

    Rain-X Latitude Water Repellency Wiper Blades

    I had gotten those water repellency wiper blades and they chattered really, really bad after just two months. I did like the previous Rain X beam wiper blades without the water repellency crap on them and those did very good. Of note it is important to clean the wiper blades themselves...

    Freezing then sweating! ( weather)

    You should look at what happens east of the Rocky Mountains… Denver had a 66 degree F drop in just 24 hours.. From a high of 82 to 16 degrees just 24 hours later and snowing. That blue cold northern that happens when a very strong arctic front pushes down and south along the front range of the...

    Earthquake Cecil County?

    That one was actually getting up there a bit… A 5.9 is enough to damage the Washington Monument to a good degree. Bad enough it was shut down for awhile after that earthquake. And near Louisa county where that hit it actually did real damage to people’s homes. Nothing massive mind you like a...

    We just had an earthquake here in No. NJ 10:26AM Friday 05 April

    Lots and lots of exceptionally old faults all along the east coast. The big earthquake in Charleston SC back in the late 1800s was very strong. From my memory I believe it was a 6.3 to 6.9 estimated earthquake. . That one did quite a bit of damage at that time. The one in Louisa County Va in...

    Castrol Edge 20,000 mile drain interval

    I’d suggest Castrol and other companies used the following chart to illustrate their oils differentiation. :LOL: Single wide trailer picture= 10k miles Double wide trailer picture = 20k miles Custom Home picture = 25k miles

    Castrol Edge 20,000 mile drain interval

    Exactly right…. I would trust Castrol or Mobil 1 EP to be able to go 20-25k miles in a port injection motor that sees a lot of highway miles. Though I would run a UOA at around 14-15k miles to check and see where everything was at that time. I also think HPL and Amsoil are legit 20-25k...
