I learned my lesson 9 yrs ago when I had some gas powered items in storage while I was building this house. Carb kits are expensive and more often than not a new carb can be bought on Amazon for less than a carb kit locally. Look for the markings on the old carb for matching new ones. I now...

I had this happen a few years ago with a Fedex shipment. The driver stepped out of the truck with an oil soaked box and I told him to put it back in the truck since I was refusing it for obvious reasons. He legit had no idea how to handle that. I learned years ago at work that you never accept a...

Too much oil stash is like being too rich or too pretty, it just doent happen.

I have oil stash envy :confused:

Its as though someone felt the need to validate my oil aisle observation :cool:

If you want to hear some funny stories hang out in the oil and filter section of Walmart. Apparently everyone has a Brother in laws, next door neighbors third cousin that gave them oil advice. An BTW, I am still team "if you open it you bought it"

I made a sweep through the closeout section today and scored a few MP filters for $1 each. I found one that fit my Equinox and I bought a couple short ones for the 5.3/6.0 L Not a huge score but a little bump to keep me going. :cool:

Maxlife for the win. I think its a good choice for that application especially if you can find it on sale. I used it in my Cruze at 100k. I did 3 spill and fills over a couple of months because I got it for $17 a jug (it only took 4.2 qts each time) I had no baseline for trans service when I got...

I missed out but I was ready to jump on that one like a duck on a Junebug.

Honestly in todays world, with everything as expensive as it is, I think it would be tough to do a synthetic oil change with a decent filter and still actually make a profit after paying wages, building expenses, disposal and on and on. I do my own for a variety of reasons but I also...

I have a widowed Aunt that I do oil changes for. She live about 1 1/2 hrs away and we meet regularly for lunch. When she needs an oil change she brings coney dogs which are the universal currency of getting things done around here. And oh BTW, they are koegels dogs, dont dare show up with...

Its basic math. I dont think it has as much to do with cashless society as it does with the failure of the education system.

Ever notice how the Government as the middle man seems to always get a bigger chunk ? Seems like all the growth is in the bureaucracy. Right now the state of Michigan employs more people in MI than Ford motor co. They are the 8th largest employer in the state.

Fain is wired in with the deep state progressives, who really knows what he is getting. The biggest problem with a union is that its run by humans who as we all know are sketchy and unreliable. And before anyone starts in, I was a union employee and served in my locals executive board and was...

I think you forgot a zero on that figure.

At least I will have something to look forward to in June, seems like all the sales dried up for this spring.

Something I forgot to make note of on the internals of these filters. I have noted in the lpast that the PF63 on the Silverado (many years and tons of applications) and the PF64 which is used on my 1.5T Equinox are more similar than I had originally thought. Based on data I have seen from AC...

Champ XL for quality and price.

I got a rock (in my best Charlie Brown voice)

I find that it makes my hair silky smooth after a good rustproofing job. ;)
