My SilencerCo Sparrow on a TX22 provides the most smiles per dollar. My next favorite setup is a Rad 9 on a .357 lever action. It's movie quiet with .38 special rounds and is always a crowd favorite. I have a Peak 30 on my .308 bolt gun and sub sonic rounds are extremely fun (expensive) to...

That's the ride control and you could also get it as an option on the base model.

If it has a wet clutch I would go with a JASO MA2 rated oil. You can pickup a quart for about $9 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Super-Tech-Full-Synthetic-SAE-10W-40-4-Stroke-Motorcycle-Oil-1-Quart/556497072 EDIT: Javier is correct any oil that says 4t should be fine

They didn't send a replacement, but I didn't bother asking lol

Here was the final response "PGI engineering received and evaluated the claim filter. Engineering performed a dimensional analysis against the manufacturer's approved specifications and determined that the filter is within tolerance in all critical dimensions. We have a case improper application...

It was very quick—disregard the dates on the report. The slowest part was me shipping it after sampling and then uploading it after receiving the report lol

I'm thinking of using it in our telehandler. It's only used about once a day, and the oil rarely reaches operating temperature. It currently has 15w40 in it, but since the guys often hop in and floor it, I figure a 5W-40 could help in those situations.

Here is a VOA I sent in: https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/providence-fs-5w-40-hdeo-voa.391324/

Hey @fantastic here is another diesel motor oil for your database.

The WSM I have lists a 100hr OCI. Our machine is typically used all day and gets to operating temp. Maybe I'll try 150hrs and see how it goes.

I know tractor fluid VOA's are boring, but I was curious and wanted to contribute data to the forum. I usually pick this up at $40 for 5 gallons.

No work on the engine. I understand that silicon can come from dust and gasket maker, are there any other common sources?

Oh my, the temp gauge actually stopped working this year. I better get it fixed lol

Here is a used oil analysis from our yard's RTV900 (2400 hours total). Does anyone know how the silicon is so high without causing excess wear? Any additional feedback would be appreciated. I did a VOA when we switched to Citgard 700 and the additives are slightly different, but I assume this...

Merry Christmas!
