Article says he has been a citizen for "decades" and in his current job since 1988. Apparently has behaved himself up until recent times. 60 is an odd age to begin doing this sort of thing. I'm starting to change my perspective on this a little. I think this guy might not be the sharpest tool...

No. There's a lot I would enjoy about any of those, but my primary passion is wrenching. I don't even know what I would do without the 24-hour AutoZone, let alone being hours from a regular one. Tiny house? I've done as much as 10 days on my cruiser. Basically a tiny house. Could I live in...

I just read it. All I can say is.......wow. The more I learn about it, the sadder it is.

Don't change anything. Do further research and you'll find Duramax to be the most boring engine when it comes to oil. Nothing dramatic. But if I had a Duramax, I wouldn't spend a penny extra for a premium oil. In my experience with all-Duramax fleets, I've seen approximately 1 out of every 15...

From the experience of people I know who own some of those vehicles, it seems to make sense. Don't doubt the Chrysler Town and Country. I've spoken to a lot of Uber XL drivers who have 40-70k miles on them (or Pacificas), and they swear by them. All were in incredible shape. Practically...

I've said it before, there is nothing "wrong" with an NMMA approved oil. It's a good, safe bet. Especially for your typical boat owner who just doesn't know any better. I've seen a lot of jugs of 5W-20 on V8 cruisers. Spooky. I get what NMMA is trying to accomplish, and most people would...

Originally Posted by 4WD What you did not post (and you know it) is that NMMA does WOT tests in 4S motor ... checks the oil ...and tears down the power head for inspection Wonder why the HDEO's don't just test at NMMA facilities and then rebadge the bottle It would surely sell for more than...

I live how that ship is designed for 8 people plus the owner comfortably. That's a huge boat for 9 people. Must be comfortable indeed!

There is a reason why you do not see NMMA oils for marine diesel engines. Pick any category of oil spec and the diesel engine manufacturers spec completely blows away NMMA. To have an NMMA diesel oil would be redundant and a lower bar. NMMA cert just means that an oil has met a certain set of...

That and the lift pump make it a much smarter design.
