Its more do what you wanna do??? Assuming NO big stuff is due like timing belts and If service was done at my local Honda dealer I can say one thing for those guys, IF anything looks like its gonna be a issue, Its pointed out in a emailed video inspection at each oil change so as a owner of 3...

I suggest call THAT place you are taking your old oil, MY County recycle center told me after (I called to ask ) to dump my 5 gallons of old gas IN with the used motor oil. That didn't sit right with me but when I think about it, both gas and oil all kinda comes from the same place and my 5...

What I use and all my mowers are a few decades old...

Cool review OP but after reading "I do not have any motorcycle experience so it took a lot of getting used to" my thought was after driving that thing you still don't have any motorcycle experience... I kid, looks like fun...

Out of town on vacation first oil change in my new Ford Fusion, after service I drove 15 miles smelled coolant, dealer damaged coolant cap and simply set it back on the coolant reservoir not sealing and didn't tell me, I then looked at the receipt and the dealer used the wrong weight oil...

You asked my thoughts so i'll share... My first thought was you gotta be kidding me right? A Sports car that had a MSRP price in 2023 between $106K and $127K and still may be worth over $100K and you want to re-use a filter to save $20 to $40 ? LOL, I find that funny... Let me guess the car...

Im at 118 this am

After seeing as low as 113 Volts the last few days when the norm has been 121 the last 10 years not that its related but yesterday morning my power turns off with that delayed sound from a Sub station a few miles away going "pop" and then 45 seconds power on, 20 seconds, back off and this...

Now its 7.5% on a 79K truck!

Good Point, Same with Washing Machines... I buy my Speed Queen from a mom and pop who also works on them. I suggest the same with a mower, a local Mower Shop HAS a service department in the back and may offer promo financing and a better more pro grade product but as seen in this pic, it can get...

As a person who once sold the most extended warranty of anyone out of 200+ stores ( Not Lowes ) I consider myself a once pro at all things warranty and have seen how the sausage is made. Personally, I have purchased some warranty on some things and some things not... As example I have purchased...

Lets face it, its not the 80's or even 90's anymore like when we were kids when the future was so bright, I had to wear shades.... Seriously, lots of uncertainty, rents sky high , mortgage rates sky high and require big down payments, for homes with inflated prices. Covid shut everything down...

Sometime last year my local utility started new high demand hours. My smart meter allow the utility to now charge me a higher rate during Summer peak hours between 3-6 pm and winter 6am to 9 am. Its kinda a PITA but we deal with it, I feel like this is the start to 3rd world power quality or...

Going back to my early days of driving till now, If I have a trip, I always keep the old oil in and change it on my return as trips are EZ on oil. I would check the level and perhaps use this trip to add a bottle of a good POE fuel injector cleaner as I also prefer to use those gas additive...

Practice makes perfect OP, Keep trying. I'm no expert but I do solder AV wiring from time to time. I use silver content solder from WBT I buy from Parts Express, Its melts at a very low temp but expensive. I never needed a gun but I do always need new fresh tips for the iron. Perhaps find a...
