    OEM NGK Iridium Spark Plugs replaced @ 54,000 miles on '16 KIA Forte - How do they look?

    Agree with @Hall that those plugs are fine. Could have run another 40K or so. Easy.

    Your favorite jobber oil filters?

    It was hard to say no the PG and Ecogard filters for $2 each roughly. I don't go over 5K, so once I run out of OEM's for wifes Mazda CX-5, I'll use those. I'm tempted to grab a 12 pack of these ($4 each.) ...

    No more Super Tech MP?

    Average DIY is putting on the cheapest filter they can find. These folks do not frequent BITOG. We here are crumbs in the cake of life. They sell 100 white boxes before 1 blue box I bet.

    Can you change oil filter without draining oil?

    When I was at PMT (Performance Monitoring Team) in the Navy, we used to deal with oil samples, etc. all the time. MOst of the US Navy training we received said that the oil filter was more important than the oil. At least on Scrubbers, burners, etc. (submarine atmpsphere control systems.)...

    Craigslist!

    I don't know what it is, but if I ever list anything on Craigslist or FB marketplace, I get all the crazy people....... I listed some computer parts on FB Marketplace in January this year. For "price" I put a dollar and said "see add for individual pricing on each item." You folks know how...

    3,000 Mile Oil Change

    Just read a story that said the average cost of a cup of coffee at Starbucks is between $3-$5. Most people spend more than that with shots of this or that (words I can't even pronounce like Machiotto or something.) Adds up.

    Have you ever done a piston soak on a vehicle?

    I have. Didn't work for me though as there was carbon scoring on the cylinder walls, so...futile in my case. 1. 2014 KIA Rio (1.6l Gamma engine.) 2. Blowing oil right by..... 3. Berrymans. Also tried an EPR in the oil. Didn't matter. 4. Nope (but, I'm sure the rings were cleaner, but scoring...

    Electrical outlet wrapped in electrical tape

    Metal box, I wrap them. Always have, right or wrong. Been doing that for over 30 years. Nothing has burned down yet (as far as I know......) :)

    Hydraulic Oil Filter... Why?

    I spent 23 years in the US Navy Submarines changing out Hydraulic oil filters . Never found a spec of anything and samples always came back awesome. Often wondered how necessary the frequency was that we did it. Some of them were a MESSY job and everyone hated it.....

    Excellent price on extended filter Pentius PLXL6607 on Amazon Prime

    They have these back in stock at $49 for a case of 12 (subscribe and save.). You can cancel after first delivery. $4 each is pretty good.

    Daughter's trip to JiffyLube

    Does she have a Mavis nearby? They do my fleet vehicle (Ford Escape.). They do a really good job. In South Caroline I think they charge about $75 for a synthetic oil change and tire rotation.

    Well this is unfortunate

    It takes time. Henry is his own, not a replacement. You will bond with him when you’re ready. I feel you. It’s tough.
