Changed oil in my hand-me-down Cub Cadet 2164. I think it's a 16hp Briggs. 1.75qts of Penn conventional 10w-40 and the only Briggs filter to choose from.

Its capable of big MPG numbers, I can see that already in my Equinox with the 1.5T. Just make sure you don't accidentally get old-stock Edge 5w30. Lots of old-stock around for a while. It should say "Gen 2" in the lower right hand corner of the dexos1 logo on the front of the bottle or jug...

I knew what it was but I didn't know any details on it so I googled it.. This is a good link about it. Push to Pass

I don't necessarily think 1/4 of life would be perfect if you had a tire good for 50-100k miles. i think you could then break it down even further to 1/8 or 1/12(but an interval of 4) I'd think keeping rotations to 10k and under would help wear rather than a 100k tire getting rotated every 25k...

i was actually going to suggest to just go with Continental if you really like General. Good tire choice!

Where/how do I register my tires? I actually just bought a set last week.

1989 Isuzu Amigo. That thing was fun!

2016 Ford Focus 2.0 First change on the new girl. I bought it at 12,811 miles and I wanted to wait until 15,000 so I can change every 5000 easily(easy to remember 5, 10, 15,20...) Changed at 15,105 miles(2294 miles since purchased from a dealer) Out Oil: Mystery Old Filter: Motorcraft In...
