Yard Machine push mower first oil change, 2 years in factory fill out using a Liquivac ST 30w in (about 20 oz) Also changed the blade and cleaned the air filter. Runs like a champ now

I bought my son a 2013 Jetta that had brand new Altimax tires last fall. They are pretty good and seem to be wearing well 6 months in. I had not had them before so I looked through a lot of reviews on Tirerack and they were mostly saying the same thing... good tire, but remember that it is a...

Autozone Duralast 96R for the 2014 Focus last weekend. The original Motorcraft battery lasted 7 years... Tried to get a Costco battery but they didn’t have any in stock. He said he could have one for me in 6 weeks🙈. Ended up paying $149

I think people here are looking for the oil that can best protect their engine. There are a lot of factors that must be weighed in that decision and oil weight is but one.

I have a Firman dual fuel generator from Costco. I used both propane and gasoline to power it during the same power outage That ended up lasting about 12 hours. Started with propane tank then after it looked like it would be a while, I switched to gasoline for the remainder. Worked out good...

Just keep accumulating those shares. When you need it, it’ll be worth more... I’ve been saving in my 401k for just over 20 years and I keep it simple. I did rebalance during the market decline twice this year, but thats not an overly aggressive move, just kind of standard investment stuff...

I guess I’ve been lucky that I’ve not needed to grind those channels before. I always take the time to get the crud and rust off when I’m doing a brake job, just never saw it quite like this.

My brother-in-law came over complaining about a grinding noise at the passenger rear side wondering if I could take a look. When I took the wheel off I saw right away that the outboard brake pad was down to the metal backing and clearly stuck against the rotor. The inbound pad was okay, with...

How about the Continental Crosscontact LX25? Gets good ratings, especially in all season condition.

This car has 40,000 miles on it. For the tranny, are you suggesting drain and refill?

Thanks all. What OCIs are you running in your VW 2.5 engines? Given the low annual mileage I am expecting my son to drive, I’m thinking just going annually.

For the Michelin tires on my Explorer, I bought them on Tire Rack and had them shipped to and installed at local Tires Plus. Installation cost about $100 total... They did a good job and it was easy...
