I had a Homelite gas weed whacker for the last 15 years. It finally bit it... and I made a bad decision. I paid $150 for a Dewalt whacker that took the same batteries as my screw guns, saws, etc.... So it is a good little machine, but it is nice for very light work and the wife likes it...

I'm just not doing long oil change intervals any more..... My Diesels, which are 10k... I am now changing at 7,500. My gassers that are 7-8k OCI's... I am changing at 5k. Why???? I had a turbo failure at 9,500 on the oil change interval and my mechanic believes it was a lube issue. That...

The 20 day trip totaled 7,500 miles. After changing the oil mid-trip, I put 4,000 miles on the oil. Upon coming home, the oil level is sitting right at 3/4's of the acceptable range on the stick.

I retract my earlier statement.... Amazon didn't completely DIS me... They ended up shipping me 3 of the 6 gallons I ordered. Three gallons is better than zero gallons. When the time comes, I think I will be using it in my Jeep Wrangler with 2.0L Turbo. .........

SA and NY

I would be buying a .....TON of that at $3.75 a quart........

Turns out that 3 bottles were delivered to me... the other 3 were refunded. So I have three bottle delivered to the house at $13.39 a 5 quart jug. .... Darn flippin good deal.... I will have to think about how I use this awesome synthetic dino juice of 10w30.......

Ok... I let the rig sit overnight and then I checked the level on the dip stick and it was still at the very, very bottom. I added a full quart and that brought it up to the top divot on the metal of the dip stick. Then I drove it for another 2,000 miles... til today. Not sure what to...

No, I never check my oil level right after filling the sump with the exact amount the owners manual calls for. I drive it 20-100 miles and then check. Why should I be worried???? Drain the oil and pour in 2 gallons. The big difference here is ..... I let it sit overnight before I drained...

Yesterday morning, after the E350 sitting all night, I drained the oil, dropped the oil filter. TIghtened the plug, spun on the new filter and poured in two..... one gallon jugs of motor oil.... 8 quarts. I ran the rig for about 100 miles, pulled over and checked the oil level and it is barely...

Mysteriously my Amazon package said it had to be refunded and couldn't be delivered. Guessing the $13 price was a mistake and they decided NOT to deliver to buyers. .....

The limit is 6 jugs... I ordered 6. Thinking of having the wife sign on to Amazon and order 6. They will be delivered to my door. I typically change my oil twice a year, as that is good with my mileage.... So this 10w30 will be my Summer Oil... Then I will do either 0w30 or 5w30 for...

I have never purchased Quaker State, but this deal has me interested.... especially with all the rumors of a coming lubricant shortage. 30wt will fit many of my vehicles. Not worried about the 10, rather than 0 or 5.

Lots and Lots of web chatter about 2027 being a.... SOMETHING.....

First, I believe that there are non-man-made vehicles and I believe there are non-human biologics and I believe there are entities that can exist in higher dimensions (some would call these "spiritual" or "higher dimensional"). That being said, I have several close friends that have served in...
