    H7 to H8 size, is it worth the extra 50 CCA?

    It's been 5 years. Battery seems to be doing well. I keep a trickle charger on it. It's the factory battery and was looking at getting a new one. From what I can tell the extra 1.5" length will fit in my battery tray and not hit anything. Might wait but I do go on trips so don't want to get...

    2018 6.7 Cummins, 12k Fram oil

    This is a friend of mine. He has been using the Fram oil from Advance Auto 15w-40 in his rollback. He usually goes 15k on the oil change. But I had him dump it and at 12k since it was Fram oil Seems I was wrong and he could have gone longer. Filter is a Car Quest made by Baldwin. He changes the...

    Old Chevy sign

    My classmate got this for his Birthday. Anyone know anything about it. He called GM and they didn’t know and seemed bothered more than anything. The wheels turn and lights on the engine turn on. 2 lights for the cylinder, 4 for the four cylinder, and 6 for the six cylinder. It’s missing the...

    Battery trickle charger?

    I searched but didn't seem to find a direct answer. Looking at getting a battery tender to hook up to my 2019 Silverado. It gets used but on short trips and not much for long drives and sites days on end some times. With all the electronics on these vehicles now, is it possible to hook up a...

    14 Cruze diesel 9,826 AMSOIL DP530 5w-30

    It seems that the source of fuel makes a difference. My last UOA was all fuel from BP, this last UOA is all fuel from a local super market called Harris Teeter. That is the only thing different other than going another 5k miles almost. Going to go back to BP fuel and see if it trends back down...

    2023 Kia Sportage, AMSOIL OE0w-20 3,296 miles

    This is my daughters Kia Sportage with the 2.5 Not the most powerful engine but gets the job done. Still new and breaking in. I did change the oil out at 700 miles, so this is the first use of AMSOIL's OE 0w-20 with the Kia oil filter. I see no reason this can't go 10k miles.

    2016 suburban, AMSOIL ASL 0w-20, 5,300 miles

    Seems our Suburban does way better using E85 100%. That and turning off the active fuel management made a difference. Water is way down and is a good indicator on using E85 as well as fuel dilution.

    41-114 AC Delco spark plug

    OK, it has been a long time since I changed out spark plugs and remember when they were $4 each, but $10 now?????? Crazy, over $80 just to replace them. Not like they are not available and have been used in every LS engine since 2000 if I remember correctly.

    I want to change my ExMark LazerZ HP hydraulic fluid and filter. Just was curious as to an alternative filter. The ExMark crosses to the Wix 51374. Should I use the Wix or stick with the ExMark? I don't put a ton of hours on it now that we moved and I only have a small yard and not 5 acres...
