    Cub Cadet XT2 EFI

    I'm kicking tyres on a new Cub Cadet XT2 LX46 with the 679cc EFI engine (Chinesium) here in AUS. Just wondering if anyone has any idea why on the US CC site it looks like they've pulled the EFI option from the range and only offer Kohlers now? Were the EFI's starting to show problems in the...

    Mobil Delvac MX 10w 30 'City Logistics'

    This is on the shelves at the local auto parts store here in Aus (Repco) It's on clearance for $25 for 6ltr's..(which I thought was not too bad as I swore I saw it last time for $83.99) Is it worth considering for air-cooled lawn mowers etc?? Maybe an occasional OCI on an older petrol...

    Rover Colt 8hp, 3speed (Tecumseh/Peerless 700 Series)

    Hi Guys, As a bit of an Aus winter project I'm giving some love to my Pa's 27yr 'Rover Colt' ride on mower with a Briggs 8hp. He hasn't been with us for some time now and the mower (which he taught me to use when I was young and annoying) is just sitting out at Mum and Dad's shed not doing...

    '04 Fiesta MTF Viscosity Choice

    So it's time for the MTF change on my g/f's '04 Ford Fiesta with the IB5 gearbox. The Aus service booklet recommends a 70w 85, the Ford Motorcraft fluid (XT-M5-QS) is a 75w 90 but hard to find and I currently have Castrol Syntrans 75w 85 in it. I would say that the car shifts 'adequately'...

    2007 Ford Focus - drinks like a fish

    So the other day I was asked by my crazy cat-lady neighbour, if I wouldn't mind taking a look at her car as the bonnet wasn't opening and she thought it was due for a service. (2007 LS Ford Focus 2.0ltr petrol about a 190,000km's). No dramas, got the bonnet opened, pretty dirty engine bay but...

    Castrol Edge 5w30 a3/b4 Vs WSS-M2C913-C

    Hi All, Found a tempting price for the Castrol Edge (For Aus anyway...10ltrs for $69 @ Repco), but all of my 'fleet' need the ford global spec (which is what they usually get). All are out of warranty, all run well...are there any obvious concerns going down this path? Cheers

    Fomoco spec vs Industry Spec

    Hi Guys, My vehicle is the Ford (AUS) Falcon BF MkII sedan with the inline 6cyl (petrol). I tend to use good quality oils (5w 30 'synthetics') from name brand company's for the full 15,000km service interval as written in my book (car is now at 135,000km with no issues). I guess my question is...
