    I must be missing something here. It’s a “hassle” to spend 5 minutes to tilt the mower to dump the oil and refill with the correct grade?

    Put 5W-20 in 5W-30 Mower

    So what would it cost you to put the correct weight in it? $3-4 maybe? Considering your mower is out of production and Houston temps are in the upper 80s, I’d use the correct oil and not look back.

    Jeep Cares/Wave Program

    Any Jeep owners out there have good/bad experiences with the subject program? I used them in 2021 with paperwork discrepancies on my wife’s Grand Cherokee and had excellent results. Called them recently with issues on her new 2024 GC, and it seemed the reps were clueless and issues were not...

    Anyone here had shoulder surgery? Possible torn labrum...

    I had torn rotator cuff surgery in 2020 and agree with everything that Passport1 said. The docs have the procedure down to a T, and adherence to PT is key. I still do the cable PT to this day to maintain flexibility. Sleeping is tough as you can’t get comfortable with the sling. My surgeon...
