I'm not into canned stuff to fix engine issues and the only other time I bought something like it was a bottle of Rislone oil additive. It was $5 or $6 and I wanted to see if it makes the engine quieter and it had good reviews and my friend recommended it and said he had good results ... I knew...

I hadn't used my corded Makita 6952 impact driver for couple of years ... went to use it and there was a little puddle of oil (light lime color) in the box under the motor vent holes. Love this tool but have other cordless drivers so it's sitting there until I have to build a new deck ... and...

Anyone has any experience with a %1 selling/listing agent vs. a full commission agent? The seller pays for both the seller/listing agent and the buyer agent. The buyer agent typically gets a full commission which is %2.5 in our area. I understand that because they do most of the work. Not...

Has anyone used Valvoline Euro 5W-30? It has bunch of European bells & whistles like 229, LL-01, etc. 3 jugs of Euro are $79 on Amazon vs. $31 for 1 jug of Extended Protection. Was expecting Euro to be pricier! Valvoline website has a picture of Euro (no XL-III) but Amazon shows Euro XL-III...

I was cleaning up and found some old receipts I paid $29.x for M1 EP 10W-30 at Wal-Mart several years ago. Few days ago it was $24.x and I have couple of jugs I paid $22.x ... not that I was, but reminded me not to whine about high engine oil prices! :unsure: Just an observation not...

Not sure if this has been discussed or not but I did a quick search and couldn't find anything. I read a lot of company x went back or now recommends a thicker oil e.g. from 5W-20 to 5W-30 ... How does the fleet CAFE credit work? Do they have to reapply/resubmit data with the new viscosity...

I bought couple boxes (6 qt) of Havoline PRO-DS Full Synthetic 5W-30 dexos gen 2. I like Chevron oil. Used to buy Supreme at Costco. Came home and did a little research and saw Havoline also has Conventional, Synthetic blend and Synthetic Technology. What is Synthetic "Technology"? Is that a...

Hello to the tire people and torque experts. I have a concern regarding my trailer tire. Recently purchased a spare tire and wanted to try it out see if it fits properly, etc. Spare is a different brand but same size and spec. In case you are wondering why was I testing it for a proper fit...

Was watching the local news a few minutes ago and they were showing pictures of a bank robbery and the guy was wearing Amsoil baseball cap. I immediately recognized the cap. the reporter said, the guy is wearing "AMS Oil" baseball cap, dark olive green jacket, black pants ... He pronounced it...

Why is it getting much harder to find directions of use on back of many products? Why not put it right at the top in bold text before tons of other legal or health jargon. Good luck if you are in the middle of using something and decide to quickly find the directions. 😁

I am told that my truck has a one-way rear diff breather valve. It only breaths out when it gets hot (air/fluid expansion) in order to vent the pressure buildup. The valve is supposedly one way so theoretically if it goes under very deep water, it won't suck in the water ... That's not a concern...
