Is there any reason not to use Wally's Super Tech syn in my snow blower?

Why not use microfiber?

Hi Guys, It it safe to do an annual oil change with new, unopened oil left from last years purchase but not used?

Thanks, guys, appreciate it!

Hi guys, Looking at the new M-B 220A 4Matic , was wondering what the difference in performance and ride quality is with 17" Vs. 18"? Opinions?

I cook, so I know this! With a skillet (which is different than a frying pan which is different than a saute pan), what you want is even heat. Cast iron provides that, and is a favorite for slow cooking, since once it warms (slowly!) but it holds heat longest. But, for a quick sear, it's not...

Interesting, Chris...Id be curious to hear about lónegvity too. Typically, I wax a few times a year with Megs and then touch up btwn with their spray wax, but wouldn't think it durable enough to substitute for the real thing.

"Super duper"? Call me old fashioned, but if you're going "Super duper" Mobil 1, splurge for a "Super duper" filter...and leave them in there in your Sonic for the recommended interval.

I had the same thing happen, it's odd, right? Acceptable high detergent substitutes: Delo and Delvac, in that order.
