Funny you mention that...I was just watching his videos after posting this thread :ROFLMAO: Looks like it's still good stuff, but I'm also looking at Echo Red Armor as it has a zillion good reviews and is easier for me to get. The only store I can walk into and get HP2 is 25 mins away, and I...

Plus low ash/low smoke. Got it. Looks like I'll be getting some HP2. If it's that good, maybe I'll switch my chainsaw and leaf blower over. They currently run 50:1 TruFuel. The Toro runs 50:1....keep that mix and run everything off one fuel jug?

I can't wrap my head around a plastic carb. I understand the theory....but it doesn't work out long term. If it was isolated from the block better, maybe.... Every video I watched had the same result....leaks from warpage.

Great information, sir...thank you. I'm a Honda man and know where to get HP2. So, JASO FD, huh? I did see that spec on the TruFuel can and wondered what it was. Now.....I did read posts and info that "regular" OPE oils didn't work as good in snowblowers because they're...

Was your R*Tek a plastic carbed model? I was avoiding those like the plague as I was looking at all these old Toros. Some early R*Tek were metal carbed and I see mixed reviews. Some love the R*Tek, others dislike it. I was told they're LawnBoy designs and were bought by Breaks & Scrap'em...I...

I saw that at Menards today but didn't buy it. Wanted everyones thoughts here first.

Just like mine.

Been away for a while, but back with more questions. I just bought a 1995 Toro CCR-2000 with the Suzuki built engine in it, and I've noticed that Toro specs TCW-3 two stroke oil. After some reading, I see that TCW-3 is usually an outboard/water cooled oil. Nevertheless, I'm looking for...

I agree with frequent changes/shorter intervals. Being a dealer mechanic, I get stuff cheap. Modern stuff to older stuff compatibility is what bothers me. No sleep lost, but I do enjoy knowing things! :D

The mileage is so terrible I don't bother keeping records. The vehicle has no catalytic converter, and the old poppet injectors. I plan on upgrading to a later model MPFI spider and replacing the Y-pipe when money allows.

Thank you! Great info here! I did wonder quickly about old seals and such but dismissed it due to Dex6 being listed as backwards compatible. So all of this being said.....I have a few fluid options available. The Valvoline blue bottle Dex/Merc (non synthetic.) Someone...

We will call my driving style "assertive" since I live in a city filled with moron drivers LOL! I don't beat the tar out of my rig, but I don't baby it either. I have read that the 4L60 isn't exactly picky, but I don't know much about them other than it's nickname 4L-Slippy.

Z85- chassis package, increased capacity Z82- trailer provisions, special equipment, HD UY7- wiring harness, truck trailer, HD VR4- trailer hitch, weight distributing platform Yep...she's outfitted with the goods.

Can't go wrong with Castrol. Looks like good stuff.

There are intervals written in paint marker underhood, and my dealership gave me a carfax. It was private sale, and it did in fact have a hitch. I can't remember if it has the tow package...I'll have to run my VIN in my dealerships VIS and look at the vehicle build. I do have 10 quarts of...
