I've tried the 5W-50 in a TT K46 and K70/72 in Deere mowers. I ended up switching back to Hygard. It's about the same price and it's much more quiet than engine oils from my experience. I haven't tried the special TT 5w-50, though.

She has 205/65R16 on her Camry.

Mother-in-law purchased a 2026 Camry LE FWD last October. Not sure how I feel about the 0w-8, but it is getting dealer oil changes for the first few years. (Paying for additional OCIS at the alternating 5K interval). She routinely gets between 54-58mpg and has 10K on it already. She has the...

I understand what you're going through. We have a 14-year-old chocolate lab whose arthritis is starting to catch up to her. Each day is a little more difficult to walk, but she is still mobile. Her eyesight and hearing are fading. She sleeps most of the time now. She can still go up and down...

It's due to an Iowa state law that a certain % of pumps must now carry E15. I'm sure 87E15 is just a smidge sheaper than 88E15 and Casey's needs to please those shareholders...

Sadly, many pumps are starting to sell 87 E15 octane around here, mainly at Casey's, so I won't get their gas. Sam's Club and Costco are following suit.

Both technically work. The PH10575 is the correct filter. The PH12060 has a higher bypass pressure rating for GM applications.

That's 100% markup. Dealer paid $50. A 50% markup is $75.

Put a predator on it and call it good.

It's made by Phillips 66. Probably identical to Motorcraft.

You can technically use 0w-16, but the manual states you're supposed to go back to 0w-8 the next oil change. My MIL just purchased a 2026 Camry LE. Awesome car so far. I plan to change the oil every 5K with 0w-16, and the dealer can change the oil using the 0w8 at 10K and 20K free maintenance...

I reecived mine today. In a soft mailer as well, but none were damaged. All ADBV looked good; the louvres were open. Not bad for a $4 filter, will work great on the mowers.

Yep, but we have no way of knowing if they are meeting the TT criteria now, which is why I phrased it the way I did.
