    New FUCHS Oil Formulation (XTL)

    Neck tattoos

    CamaroT56, maybe you should skip the double sleeve-tattoos and support your child. I like art. But, I don't go around carrying paintings. And, very rarely do I see a tattoo that is 'art quality'.

    Castrol Edge 5W-30, 5516mi, 3.6DI Saturn Outlook

    Canada? I'd break the rules and use a stout 0w30 or 0w40(Esso XD3), PetroCan Duron-E, any known thick 0w30(Syntec), or any 0w40. The fuel dilution is there. Nothing you can do about it. So, add 2 more points of viscosity to deal with it and see how it goes. Another option is a Puradyn...

    Walmart Supertech Synthetic 5w-30 04 WRX 5k change

    TBN is low for 5k. Fuel dilution pulled the visc down. Wear is non-existent. Moly and boron are vitamins your engine likes. Otherwise, its a perfect UOA.

    Neck tattoos

    I could care less if something is as old as the human race. War is too and so is cannibalism. You civilized? or completely regressed pack animal? No tattoos here and plan on keeping it that way. Have better things to spend my money on. Piercings and tattoos seem to be more relevant with...

    Two staff charged in abuse at senior care facility

    We'll be seeing more of this. We are getting older. And, the younger generations just don't care. Can you blame them? they are underemployed, underpaid, and in serious debt! You do get what you pay for. And, for low wage skill-less jobs, don't expect the highest quality employee, whether its a...

    Snowing here right now - April 6!

    If weather is too warm, everything would dry up and it'll be a drought. Weather patterns change. Jungles will become deserts. Deserts could become jungles. Life goes on.

    Brake Rotor FAIL

    Inspections here are profitable. You go in with bad brakes and tires, and you leave with new brakes/tires/.... and an inspection sticker. Every car that fails, or is taken off the road, benefits us. Those we can't afford to maintain their vehicles, should take a cab or bus. The other...

    Be CAREFUL folks.....wowser........

    Cleaning a loaded gun is like changing the oil on a running engine. And, lack of common sense is rampant in todays society since no-one has any experience other than complaining non-stop or playing video games. Sad, but more people will get hurt doing stupid stuff. Your fan has a screen on it...

    Anyone affected by looming government shutdown?

    Instead of shutdown, they need to shrink the gov't down by whatever it has grown in the past 30 years. Sorry, I have no pity for anyone that this affects. Quit relying on the feds. Sick of my money being wasted by these clowns running the show. So, if it takes a shutdown or two to make a few...

    Im puzzled and confuesd about oil agian.

    Nothing wrong with Redline. If cost is an issue, source it locally. If not in stock, some local 4x4, speed shops, and even auto part stores can and will order it for you. 0w40, 5w40... from any brand, should work fine. You're over thinking a non-existent problem.

    5w-20 instead of 0s-20 in new Hondas

    Its not the law. Its a recommendation. Don't trust your dealer. They are crooks and make up their own rules with it benefits them. With Colorado as your location, I would definitely want a full synthetic and not any bulk discount swill.
