For this price I will buy it for chainsaw bar oil...... Thanks for the share OP!

1954 Willy's MD Jeep

I have a Snapper Hi Vac Self Propelled push mower with a Briggs engine. Was bought in the 90's when Costco was selling them. It is quite old though and I have had to change the pull cord at least 5 times and changed the bag out probably twice now over the years as well as I am on the second...

I have 5 vehicles under hagerty bad have been using them about 7 years now. They have been good to me and are easy to do business with. I get to pick my car value and they pick up the phone when I call them if I want to change something. I have never had a claim so I can't speak to that. I...

I will run a truck tire longer than a car tire. Maybe even up to 10 years for a putting around town truck. Passenger car about 7 years max Performance car 5 years is pushing it.

+1 for Sylvania. I have used the 3m one on a different vehicle and it was so so for awhile. The Sylvania is more transparent longer.

I don't drive my cars far enough or often enough to only alternator charge. So pretty frequently I run a battery minder (AGM) and rotate it around the garage to keep the batteries topped off. I have read that the odyssey needs a little higher voltage to get past the 80% charge.

I had some Fiskars Pruners/loppers that the Handle cracked and I sent an email to warranty and the same thing happened. They agreed to send me a new pair and wanted some pictures of the pruners destroyed in agreement to send me the new pair.

Knowing I got under the car and checked everything else. Getting a good look at the underside and knowing all is ok. Plus knowing the oil plug wasn't spun on with an impact and stripped out from somewhere that doesn't have the same level of care as I do.

The price of soap in my area now was a big sticker shock. For a long time I was getting it sent to me from the dollar shave club every other month so I had a big surplus when I finally ended it with them. Now I tend to buy what I can find on clearance. This typically is some kind of Christmas...

I remember as a kid with my dad changing the boat oil. Since I was smaller and could fit into the small areas of the boat I/O engine bay I would be the one draining out the 25w-40. I do remember it coming out sloooooowww when it was cold. We usually for some reason always changed it around...

Yeah understandable you're definitely not wrong. I try to justify it to myself that I do all my own car repairs so I can get the nicer parts/tires/batteries etc. Buying 2 though would definitely hurt the wallet. I also try to justify it to myself that the Odyssey batteries are manufactured in...

Glad to hear they are taking care of you. I am on year 7 of an Odyssey group 65 in my daily driver. Yes they are expensive but the double lifespan makes it cost about the same as the 3 year lead acid batteries. Plus I hate when a lead acid batteries leaks and ruin things in the engine bay.

I would return it or better yet ask for some kind of discount and re ring it up for a discounted price.

Cops doing cop things. Normal. I swear at night seems to be when they are in the "looking for something to do" mode. At least your guy was nice. He just was doing daily duties and all checked out normal. I have worked nights for years and all of us who do make sure our tabs and cars are...
