    Chainsaw Bar & Chain Oil - Antiwear Additive?

    Same experience with pro select. Tried it last summer because it was cheap.

    The numbers are different for the specs.

    Chainsaw Bar & Chain Oil - Antiwear Additive?

    I simply want a bar oil that flows at -25f when I go out to work 🤷‍♂️ By the way, super tech seemed to have changed. Prior winter, it flowed well but not this good…and it was still normal tan color. Past fall it didn’t flow that good so something changed. Bought one more jug to try and the...

    Chest vs. Upright freezer - which to choose?

    Get rid of the chest and buy TWO uprights that will fit in the same space😜 Also make sure you get “garage ready”. The compressor will continue to work if the temp get down below freezing. (Others will quit working below 40 degrees). Our Frigidaire has worked for years.

    9MM, 10MM or 40 SW

    Yes, but this subject will still get at least another 50 replies. 🤣

    9MM, 10MM or 40 SW

    Most important part of self defense is to be able to hit your target. 9mm has plenty of penetration + expansion but just as importantly, it doesn’t have the recoil of the other rounds. Your accuracy will be better with the 9mm. You will have cheaper ammo which can translate into more practice...

    0w20 vs 5w20 for high mileage engine

    There is virtually no difference between 0w20 and 5w20 at -10 Celsius (14 degrees Fahrenheit) The difference won’t be seen till you get to -20 Celsius or lower. I think you have other issues that the cold is just highlighting.

    Should I return this EverStart Platinum battery, or put it in service

    Walk in the store with your analyzer and check the other batteries on the shelf first. See if there is one that is in much better shape? Then exchange it?

    -55 Cold Start

    A good 0w oil would have helped. I live south of the range where it doesn’t get quite as cold(-20 to -30 a lot) and 0w40 castrol works great. Don’t even worry about plugging in the block heater. Made sure all the other fluids are extreme cold rated too. Had 5w oil in it before and their is a...

    If 10mm is ok for bears, why not 357 mag?

    Carry what you have and can actually hit with.

    Gold Standard for 2 Cycle Oils? Chainsaw

    Amsoil Sabre has been the cheapest for me. Cheaper than even Supertech I think. Buy in the quart bottle. My chainsaw seemed to do better with it than even Stihl. I’m not a big Amsoil fan boy either. I use whatever has a good quality to price ratio.

    Fuel trims disappeared when accelerating with slight stall/shift issue .

    Had a chance ro run it this morning for a three hour trip No issues Didn’t notice before but fuel trim goes to 0 every time I hit the gas anyway…with no issues. However. The A/F voltage is consistently 2.25 ish which is apparently very rich. Hitting the gas doesn’t lower that voltage very much...

    Throttle body is perfectly clean. Never had a throttle body that clean. 🤷‍♂️But thanks!

    Fuel trims disappeared when accelerating with slight stall/shift issue .

    One problem though. If I recall, the A/F sensors were working just fine when this happened. Strange if both A/F sensors went bad at the exact same time?
