    Advance Auto Parts - 20% off (No Minimum)

    If you wanted the $17 EP, it’s a better discount than 20%. My last two bundles were $38 Valvoline Restore and Protect and $18 penzoil on clearance.

    For my Yukon the jobber is $1.94 and the extended life is $4.54. It’s currently running a $3 Fram titanium from AAP clearance.

    Advance Auto Parts - 20% off (No Minimum)

    You could but they're 100% off if you bundle with oil, which is the only time I'd buy one there over RA.

    U-Haul seems to be morphing into a storage company that rents trucks on the side.

    A lot of vehicle rental has been pushed out to "neighborhood dealers". Small businesses like gas stations and car lots store U-Haul equipment on the property and rent it out. Highly convenient in theory but in practice is often frustrating with odd hours and unenthusiastic owners.

    This Bring A Trailer car had $44K worth of repairs done to get it ready to sell

    It is interesting to see what people value. Never heard of a 200 mile test drive (singular). For 45k give me one of these and keep the rest. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2001-mazda-mx-5-miata-special-edition-29/

    Got a Defective Oil Filter ... and it's not a Fram!

    Someone here needs to buy the thing and hack it open. Autopsy!

    Drain and refill 235K transmission fluid?

    I'd change it for sure, drop the pan and see what it looks like, clean the magnet etc. Fill with fluid and drain/suck it out again after a hundred miles to get what was left in the TC.

    Restored a freebie Shindaiwa T230X trimmer

    Fantastic machine. Light with good power. Only thing it needs now is a speed feed head.

    Push Mower Stalling Out on Inclines

    Probably water sitting on the bottom, very common. Pull the bowl off and see what you find. If the main jet is incorporated into the bowl nut, that may be clogged also. In my experience debris from the tank is held back by the micro screen filter and never reaches the carb. It's water reacting...

    Does Purolator have any QC?

    I bought a pile of these when they were $2 on Amazon. Hadn't found any missing gaskets. Yet.
