Nice bike! You might want to ask the tests be rerun. I notice they have the sump capacity at 3 gal and guessing that's a bit of a misprint? Maybe even send your next oil sample kit to Wearcheck, especially since you're using HPL. That few miles on an older bike means it's barely been ridden, so...

$4.49 Shell V-Power Nitro+ 93 octane, Central Texas All the Shell stations I stopped at in Oklahoma this past week were 91 octane and ethanol-free for their V-Power Nitro+. The Pilot loved it!

Currently running HPL Premium Plus PCMO in our 2025 Honda Pilot. Switched from Amsoil Signature Series about 10k miles ago. Did one short OCI of 3k with the HPL when I made the switch and currently at 7k miles on this OCI with 24k miles on the odometer. OLM is showing 40% life remaining. Most...

I'm on my second Hayward variable speed pump in the 10 years we've had our pool. Please keep us updated on how the new pump is performing. Thank you.

I am sorry for your loss.

I turn 66 in a few days, and always thought I'd retire before my wife who's a couple years younger than me. Last year, her company offered her early retirement with a great severance package. She took them up on it and her last day was Dec 31st. So she wouldn't have to shop on the open market...

Buc-ee''s gasoline is not Top Tier certified.

Stations With All Grades Zero Ethanol. Another Had Zero Ethanol Premium Cheaper than Premium with Ethanol. Two Shell stations which I stopped on my way through Oklahoma had all grades of gasoline with no ethanol. It's hard to read, but the prices were: Regular 87 octane: $4.299. Mid-grade 89...

This is the downside of stocking up on filters, There's always something better hitting the market. Looking forward to your first C&P with the new filter.

My sister's first husband was a big Studebaker guy. Had a '64 Gran Turismo which I'd worked on often. Had a slew of others.

Congratulations on the new Tacoma! What filter have you chosen to run?

Darn Brits! Have a lovely day.

The particle count is what's in the oil that's circulating through the engine, not what particles are found in an oil filter. Why not get rid of them early by changing the oil sooner than later? Here's what my first three oil changes looked like on my 2025 Honda Pilot with the J35Y8 engine. I...

Thank you. I rarely ship stuff, so will look into these options.
