    Best Fuel Stabilizer for OPE

    I have found nirvana after using Opti (last year) and Amsoil Saber(15 prior years) for years, then trying Echo Red Armor. Echo Red Armor mixed with ethanol-free fuel works excellent and my Stihl and Echo OPE run like scalded cats!

    Tesla model Y review

    He was talking about how it sounds. To him, it sounds great. In fact much better than his other premium sound systems. He was not talking about the system's "materials." Does it matter what a camera is made of if it takes the best pictures you have ever seen?

    Home air conditioning maintenance

    Titan Pro is not made in USA, and is generally a lower quality than titan HD which is made in the USA. Like the others above, I would NOT use an incorrectly rated capacitor. In the age of the internet, it is not difficult to find. I would (and recently did) get one rated to 370/440 if it fits...

    Home air conditioning maintenance

    Get a Titan HD or AMRAD brand if you want it to last more than a few years. Both are made in USA and much higher quality than all the other crap made elsewhere.

    Ideal Maintenance Plan and early part replacement - 9 year old 100k Mazda 6 4cyl 2.5

    I keep it pretty clean and have noticed only a little surface, flakey rust on the k-member area. I now use CRC marine or Fluid Film, thank you for the suggestion!

    I think you are right, I just looked up a couple VOA's of this oil, and the tbn is typically between 5.9-7.35 on the few I saw.

    Where is the Electricity going to come to charge EVs ?

    I am glad you didn't read the rest. I will let you argue with Stanford University regarding transmission line losses. Clearly, you are not anywhere close to correct on the subject with your estimate of 50%. It turns out experts have studied that exact question in California at Stanford...
