I use them for air filters as they beat the local places prices by a mile. With shipping the same exact 4 air filters were $20 cheaper than autozone.

ST full synthetic high mileage for my FIL’s Tacoma. Wally’s was really picked over for filters not many Frams, so nothing wrong with Toyota filters on the bottom shelf!

I enjoy the aviation threads on here very much thanks for the insight. What additional requirements do you need to get type rated in a particular aircraft? Is this something you can request or do you get voluntold they are going to train you on something new? Is it similar to learning to drive a...

Yes that bolt was a major pain. I don’t know if the threads corrode over time or what but it was very slow progress. Definitely order a new bolt and maybe a twist type damaged fastener socket. I also went in from the top and was able to get it with a good socket and fine tooth ratchet. Even...

NJ towns This video made me laugh, because I live in Woodstown and grew up in Salem county and most of the descriptions are hyperbole. Regardless it’s a fun video and does show NJ’s more rural parts. Warren and Sussex counties are where my wife was raised and it’s beautiful up there. I am...

I’ve been making my own version of the slant arm Morris chair for the last …12 years. 😔 mostly made of Quarter Sawn White Oak they were traditionally fumed with industrial strength amonia for the finish. My project was very ambitious for hand tools and I am 90% finished but have to get the...

The EJ in my old Outback was child’s play compared to the FA24 in the Ascent. That socket with a 6” extension will definitely not work on the Ascent. I used this 14mm with a built in swivel with my 90 tooth flex head SK ratchet which is pretty thin and it was a serious struggle. Maybe 1”...

At that level of consumption it’s basically a two stroke!

I feel your pain. I just got done replacing the spark plugs in my wife’s 2021 Subaru Ascent. The driver side rear plug was the worst, most idiotic, stupid thing I think I have ever encountered. You have to bend the boot and coil so much just to remove it from the cylinder it feels like you are...

2007 CRV Oil and ATF dump and fill Out. Pennzoil Platinum 0w20, 3.2 qts of Honda DW-1 In Castrol Edge 0w20 High Mileage and Honda DW-1 atf. OCI about 6000 miles or 50% of maintenance minder.

I also like SW Pro-Mar ceiling paint it’s cheap, dead flat and nice crisp white. The Glidden pink to white ceiling paint is also fairly cheap and is really really crisp and white but it is a very thick product and does no go far at all. Think around 200 sq ft per gallon. I like it but was...

I just received my rebate in my Venmo account today. I submitted on December 15th, I think that was a quick turnaround. Already used the regular edge in the wife’s Subaru and will use the high mileage in my Crv this weekend.

Just picked up two jugs last night. Didn’t realize I selected one High Mileage and one regular as I was trying to rush to get back to helping my kids pick out a gift for one another. 27.98 I believe, and I filled out the rebate form when I got home ( take a picture of your store receipt with...

I’m not a pro per se but I do my share of side jobs and have a pro account at SW. I have tried Behr, Valspar etc and like working with SW Emerald the best. The knowledge and customer service is where they shine imho.
