I have a John Deere zero turn with the Kawasaki. I mow 4 acres plus at least once a week and use Delvac 5-40 syn as that is what I use in my tractor also. If I didn't have the tractor I would just run a 15-40. They run hot, but biggest thing to watch is mouse nests in the fins, and change your...

If the slip goes away after warming, could you possibly be low on fluid to start, and the expansion from warming makes it seem better?

Yup, everything up here also in Wis, except Castrol Edge and of all things Mobil Advanced clean. Got 2 jugs of Mobil advanced clean 5-30 for $25 a bottle as most all other oil I have is Mobil. I do both of our vehicles, my boat, tractor, and zero turn, and we put a lot of miles on. We are 30+...

I would think the amounts they are telling you to use on the bottle of cleaner you are using, are way stronger than any top tier gas. My understanding is that the amount of cleaner added for top tier gas isn't much. So if you are just trying to make your non top tier gas, top tier, you could...

I've drained the wife's 23 Traverse I think four times now. Takes me a little over 20 min to do, extremely simple. Took a little longer first time but I have a system now and everything ready. Jack the front end up about 3-4" that's plenty. Takes about 6 qts, some say 5.5, some say 6, for me its...

Time for to grow up and be responsible for herself. It's just an oil change. She can go to a dealer and just tell them upfront that's all she wants. Maybe you are not giving her credit for what she is capable of doing. Sounds like up till now she has been doing fine in getting you to do the oil...

I'm not asking what bolts everyone is using, they are 5/16x18, just would like to know what torque everyone has used. Grade 8 says 20 ft lb, guess I'll stop there as no way I am going to 33 ft lb.

So another question. I am going to be changing the differential fluid on my 2022 Ford F150 9.75" rear end. Will be using a Lubelocker gasket. i am confused as to the torque values they specify for the stock rear cover bolts. I think they say 33 ft lb? That seems really high. Even a grade 8 bolt...

Two questions, about 50% of miles is towing a 6500lb boat and trailer. I live northern Wis but truck sees almost zero use in winter and is garage kept. I'm thinking I would like something on the order of Amsoil 110, but would like to save a little money if possible. If you stay within the same...
