If they're sealed I wouldn't think twice about using them myself. I've begun flushing brake systems more routinely, but we have lots of old cars in the family running 10-20 year old fluid that sure seem to stop fine... I think everyone flushing the fluid every 3 years is a bit overkill. I do...

All my 4 stroke ope really likes 15w-40.. I generally use regular delvac

I got a single $40 digital mastercard and bought a amazon gift card with it. Cups are supposed to be here Saturday. Amazon did reject it the first time, but worked second try.

Maybe different suppliers by region? Had great luck in GA

I test all of mine when I get home as well and they generally test above their rating. Often at the level of the everstart maxx... I've bought 10+ of them at this point and only had the one dud. Have had a couple go 6+ years.

I buy cheapest battery with 1yr warranty. That always ends up being Walmart. I’ve only had 1 fail in under 3 yrs

Not an engine oil filter... But here's a spin on hydraulic filter that was in service for 10yrs with no issue. I personally don't think 3-5 years on a quality oil filter would cause any problems in your scenario. Anti-drainback valve may get hard and be less effective...

Looks good to me. I'd keep doing what you've been doing.

I submitted May 06 and got the email yesterday saying my cups were in the mail and they would be sending a separate email with my rebate.. I bought 4, so hoping for $40.

I've been keeping an eye out for Armada/QX-80's for a friend who is looking to replace an older Navigator. MPG's aren't a concern for him so I was looking at ones with the 5.6 v8. While those are thirsty, they are very reliable and cheaper than the newer v-6 turbo variants. Believe I saw a 2-3yo...

I’ve only got a few thousand miles on mine, but I’m still pleased with them. Haven’t noticed any issues in the rain personally, but also haven’t driven in much. They’re quiet even at highway speed

I’ve already had to replace the ice maker on my 2.5 year old Frigidaire. They’re normally quite simple. Look up your p/n and watch a few YouTube videos. Ice makers usually fit a variety of models and I had no issues getting an oem replacement from Amazon.

I used to read this guys articles on Jalopnik.. I know one guy that's used him for a new Tacoma and was pleased. https://automatchconsulting.com/

2-3 yo Armadas and QX-80’s are some of the Best Buy’s out there imo

Ah yeah well compared to a Wrangler the pilot would feel huge on the inside and have captains chairs.. haha. Plenty of nice body on frame options out there though.
