I'm the OP with an update. I'm finally making progress. First thing, I needed to move the mower away from a wall and into the center of my working area of the garage. But the battery was dead. It was six tears old. So new battery installed, moved mower and inflated tires. Used my floor...
They are the original blades from when I bought it new nine or ten years ago.
They probably should have been removed to be sharpened before now but they haven't.
I actually bought the replacement blades last summer. I sprayed WD40 on the bolts and let them sit. Then banged on them with a hammer to try to loosen them but I couldn't get the bolts off to remove the old blades. Then I figured it would be best to wait for the off season and remove the deck...
I've got a Toro 48" deck zero turn mower that I'm going to change blades on. The mower is at least nine years old and has 160 hours on it. The first few summers I had 1.5 acres to cut but the last seven years just a half acre. Since I'll be taking the deck off to replace the blades would it...
Thanks for your reply Subie. So far I haven't gotten to the point of buying six quarts to do an oil change. :unsure: If I do, I'll do a UOA. I could try it in the wife's Seltos. What she doesn't know won't hurt her. :sneaky:
I have a quart of unopened Fram (Amalie) 0W-30 Full Synthetic that I keep in the car as an emergency top off if needed. It meets the specs for my car SP and GF-6. I did a search but the word 'Fram' returns a million results because of all the filters in use. So I thought it might be fun to get a...
It doesn't appear that Fram sells the 0w-30 in 5 quart jugs, so I would have to get 6 quarts at 7.99 each. I'll probably stick with the QS or Valvoline 5W-30 in 5 quart jugs and add a single quart of Fram 0W-30 t to make six.
My vehicle is a '23 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited AWD with the 2.5T engine. The oil requirements are 6.13 qts of 0W-30, API SN Plus/SP or GF-6. I've got about 9700 miles on the car. I will be changing oil from here on at approximately 4000 mile intervals. I'm coming up on a change in the next week or...
