Not sure of your point. Are you implying that a 0W-40 Euro spec oil with a 3.8 HTHS vis will damage a 5.3? Thanks.

Stay with a 40 weight oil for the higher HTHS viscosity.

Interesting conversation. It confirms my decision to leave AC work to a shop with the proper equipment and expertise.

Did you mean Armaflex?

@JHZR2 Thank you for your time and efforts to post this project. I learned so much! Sam

I take a picture of the return list too since it has the order numbers.

Ive been an FCP customer since 2014. Nothing but positive experiences. They have made a few mistakes but corrected them quickly and politely. Im fortunate they are a 20 minute drive. It makes their LRG a breeze. And has reduced maintenance costs dramatically.

I take a picture of the return and the box at Milford CT for this reason. I have never had an issue when I send them a photo of the return.

I communicated with Irv a couple of times. He was always quick to reply and helpful. I still regret not going the Volvo Club of America meet in Stratton VT to meet him. He passed the next year.

The CG carnauba polymer wax did not last long for me.

Nope. But I will find out. The NAPA AGM batteries in our Volvo 240s are made in Germany. 🇩🇪

Like all well trained Yankees we leave our shoes in the mudroom. @Astro14 will understand this. 😉

We had solar at our previous home so I’m familiar with it. This time I plan to cover every square foot possible on the SE, S and SW sides. The aesthetics do not bother me. “Go big or go home!”

I’m learning a lot from this discussion. I plan to make calculations and get bids this winter for our new/renovated home and shed/garage to be built. We loose power often: 5-6 times a year due to the trees. Battery storage is appealing. Shown is our new home in Guilford Connecticut.

1992 Mercedes Benz 300D 2.5 turbo Out: Napa AAA Premium Flooded 900 CCA 36 month In: Interstate Platinum Plus MTZ-49/H8 950 CCA 48 month The NAPA battery lasted 32. Disappointing for a 36 month warranty battery.
