I checked prices and I was looking at 1000 dollars for and engine. I bought the John Deere 135 Automatic at a tractor dealer last night. Love the way it mows. I bought an JD oil filter also. JD said to change the oil after 8 hours of break in for the first change. The JD filter was $6.13 at the...

Has anyone on the boards used this product. Is it worth the expence. I watched a show of 2 Guys Garage and they were talking about another product called Water Wetter and were hailing its advantages. I have read otherwise about that product and said that Motor Max was a superior product in all...
