The purpose of the schrader valve in the valve stems is prevent air loss after inflation. The valve cap is intended as the ultimate air stop.

Hello, I have been reading these forums for quite a while and wanted to chime in. That plug doesn't look right and it is definitely not the oil's fault. I have a B&S Intek Snow 12hp kool bore on my simplicity blower and have been using regular M1 5w30 since 2005. There is at least 100 hours on...

Boeshield T-9. It was developed by Boeing to protect aircraft parts. You can find it all day long at Marine/boating supply houses. This stuff is no joke. Where it is applied, is where it stays. I spayed down my snow blower 4 years ago because I was leaving it outside. Still no corrosion. I'm not...

You absolutely can run an LT tire at 35psi. It all comes down to the amount of weight the axle is rated for. If your placard says 35 psi at a certain size, then that is based on the amount of cubic inches (volume) of air inside the container (tire and wheel). All those cubic inches add up to the...

ARCOgraphite....wow, I remember that oil from the 70's...nice! I believe I will be safe with the Rotella T6 then. It was on my short list plus it's available everywhere and seems to get great reviews here. I wasn't sure if the zddp amount mattered in this engine or the JASO-MA was a good thing...

Thank you for the fast response. I know the Rotella t6 is very popular here and the discussions are very informative. Briggs and Stratton now recommends 5w-30 synthetic in their engines and that is why I was sort of leaning towards M1 5w-30 HM. I will be using a tiller and some other attachments...

Hi, I’ve been reading these forums for quite sometime now and I need some advice as I’m still a little confused. I have an antique (kinda) tractor with a Kohler Magnum 10 single w/ the splash/slinger oil system. The manual calls for straight 30w, however, I’d like to run synthetic to help keep...
