I'm the delivery manager at a Lowe's store in Washington state. Based on what I see on a daily basis, Samsung would be the very last brand I'd choose. Just overall poor reliability . LG makes good appliances, but LG repair and service is a nightmare. I'd personally choose Maytag or Whirlpool...

I like the HT3s. I ran a set on my 11,000lb fifth wheel for a few seasons before I sold it.

I'll mainly be towing a utility trailer with 3 dirtbikes and an atv.

My Wrangler with the 2.0 turbo specs a SN+ 5w30. I plan on towing with it frequently and am wondering if there are 5w30 oils out there that are known to be more stout than some others.

Looks like they're S rated

My 18 year old son needs tires for his 2013 CRV. This is a teaching moment about responsibilities and I'm not buying his tires. He can swing about $400 for the set of 4. My first thought is RT43s at $106 a piece at DTD. What else should we be looking at in that price range? Wet weather...

2018 Jeep Wrangler with the 2.0 liter turbo engine. I think I'm going to go with a 5000 mile oci. I've been using Fram Ultras for a few years on other vehicles but running longer oci. The Ultra seems like a waste for such a short oci. The Ultra part number is XG10060

We hated our ‘16 Touring. It was a pile from the start. The AC stopped working twice. Repaired under warranty once and out of pocket once. I had to replace the front rotors and pads before 20k miles. Dealer said early front brake replacement was common. The 9 speed transmission was recalled...

I'm looking for an easy to find oil. Not super concerned about meeting the 13340 spec.

Any 5w-30 SN+ better than the others for a 2018 Wrangler with the 2.0T engine? A TGDI engine is something new to me.

I have a 5500 watt Onan generator in my toy hauler. It's coming up on its first oil change. In my climate I can use either 15w-40 or SAE 30. Both are readily available to me. Any compelling reason to choose one over the other?

I need a new walk behind mower. I'm looking at Lowe's and Home Depot. Lowe's sells Husqvarna and HD has Toro. Any compelling reason to choose one over the other? HD also sells a mid level Honda that may be in my price range I'm trying to stay under $400

I find it hard to believe that this actually went on for 10 minutes. I also find it hard to believe that with the line out the door, nobody had the sack to remedy the situation.
