I live on a busy street, small lots in a busy area and a mix use zoning. EVERY neighbor to my front, sides and rear ALL use hired lawn care. The crew gets out and all blow all that crap all over everything I own. Its a constant buzz from leaf blowers and I have had issues with one Company as...

Personally, I think ALL oil filter companies need to do better as it was a time I think some filters were made better than today but I think when it comes to NAPA, you know you are getting about the best you can get at the time however, lots of good American made filter plants have closed up...

Nice! My last Child Graduated last week the wife looked over to me at his ceremony and said "its time for that RV"... I been watching auction sites and local and the leaky roof of old ones worries me. I have yet to research all that but I know of horror stories of people who own campers and...

My Local Walmart Oil Filters ( Pic ) on 6/5/2026... Most of the FRAMS have been moved to the back of store Clearance area... Kinda slim pickins when it comes to oil filters. And my Valvoline VR1 mineral 20w-50 was out of stock again as well but thats the new norm at my Walmart. A picture is...

I have owned and flipped I think 7 retired Police Crown vics and a 2002 LX that was my baby! I would suggest test the market and see what you can get. I'm not sure about a Grand Marquis vs a Police Vic but I have had people knock on my door wanting to buy my 2008 Police when it was not for...

My question would be is it now the same oil or even the same manufacturer or same chemistry as it was in 2005? Take the NAPA oil filters, was WIX for years and now folks are reporting no more WIX, However, Harley changes oil and oil filter manufacturers from time to time, the oil filter moved to...

My buddy once worked nights at a 60 room Comfort Inn Hotel. He had some "Mall Cop" in him but he would walk the parking lot and if your trucks hitch extended over his sidewalk, he would knock on your door at 3 am and make you move it!

I get it D60 however I also get OP's situation. I am no stranger to suppling my own parts / fluids as it started mid 90's with my Volvos and Mercedes and crap oil filters my local quick lube used back then... My local shop allowed my own fluids and filters and then one day, a new manager and...

My Ram Diesel truck now sits unless I MUST haul or pull something that day. This past year for the first time in 30 years of owning Harleys, I have started riding my Harley not for just weekend fun rides I now choose to take the bike for quick trips to the grocery store, to the Doctor and even...

I recall many years ago some confusion when time to service my 1988, 4 cyl Chevy S-10 manual gear box as Chevy changed from gear oil to ATF around that time from one year to the next. The transmission was the same transmission but chevy said gear oil then changed to AFT , may have been in the...

A few months back my kids old Honda accord needed a replacement filter and I didn't want to pay Honda price so I ordered a $9.99 Puroma Cabin Air Filter with activated Carbon from Amazon... No, not a great filter but it was $10 and the activated Carbon in the name "got me"and so did same day...

Perhaps I smell it more than you as I'm on a motorcycle a lot or you live under a rock, or on a island or you don't venture outside of a "gated community" as its all over the place now, not limited to bad parts of town... You ever drive on a interstate? Any Main Street USA? When on my...

Not those "PRO" Ozone machines I use before cleaning and selling a used car, I'm talking the 12v plug in Ozone for cars... $26 Amazon

That Skunk weed smell is at just about every stop light now. I don't recall it smelling so bad back in the day... I once had a car 12v plug in ozone generator in the 80's and I still see them on Amazon, I can't remember how well it worked or not... I would assume a cabin filter with activated...

I know I personally would not use restore and protect in a 1960's anything thats not leaking oil but thats me and my 2 cents, I know its a dirty word but I had the thought wonder what AI would say as thats kinda a "hive mind I would guess" Well I searched Valvoline Restore and Protect in a...
