I believe Motorcraft Blends are in the ~$27/5 qt range now. I remember when it was ~$14/5 qt, maybe I'm aging myself :rolleyes:.

I know I've committed multiple Mortal Sins by BITOG standards but for me Ryobi battery tools and OPE have been more than satisfactory. They have their 18V batteries that work with their battery tools and their OPE. I have quite a few of the battery tools and a battery string trimmer, 10" chain...

Attached is the UOA for PUP 5W-30 & Mobil1 ESP 5w-30. This was for our 2017 2.3L EB Ford Explorer. Both oils were fine. The PUP was run slightly longer. Both were run under similar conditions

Same here where I live in NJ. For my 2 cycle I use the canned fuel at the end of the season for storage. My pressure washer I'll use canned 4 cycle fuel before I store it. My generator and snow blower I just use E10 mixed with Stabil Marine blue and exercise them monthly, it's worked for a...

What is a Doc fee for $599 and a DMV fee for $425? I thought they are one in the same. Last new vehicle I bought was in 2002, a F-150, the Doc fee was $99 and there was no DMV fee. I live in NJ, for better or worse.

My driveway is uphill and consists of rough stone, I don't need the rubber pads, which are missing :).

I have a Briggs Storm Responder 5500W/8250W "consumer" generator with the 11HP 342cc engine. As I understand it does not have a cast iron sleeve in the cylinder. It has around 150+ hours of use and works great and doesn't burn any real measurable amount of oil. For commercial use I can see...

Castrol had two ATF's which were licensed by Ford for use in Mercon LV vehicles. One was Transmax Full Synthetic Multi-Vehicle ATF and the other was a Transmax Dexron-VI ATF that was also licensed by Ford for Mercon LV use. However, they seemed to have been replaced by Transmax ATF/CVT Universal...

Wow! The Home depot near me charges around $15-$16/qt for the Honda 10W-30 OPE oil :oops:.

Last year I bought Pennzoil Ultra Platinum off Amazon, you had to buy three 5qt jugs. I believe it was $23 per 5qt jug. I submitted the rebate form online. After months of back and forth with them I was finally told that the rebate only applied when purchased from their list of retailers, not on...

And now look to use SP oil which superseded SN+ oil. I have a 2017 Explorer with the 2.3 EB that originally spec's SN and now is happily using SP because it's a better oil overall.

Last time I ordered it off Amazon for about $23/5qt jug. I had to order 3, which gave me free shipping anyway since I'm not a Prime member. Even though it came from the "Pennzoil Store" since it was sold from Amazon it was not eligible for the rebate I applied for. It was still a good price.

I have a TroyBilt 24" snowblower that was leaking it's dif "grease". The fluid was thin and and amber. It looked like ATF or motor oil. I filled it with the 00 grease, which is dark gray, and it's been fine, no more leaks and it works. A quart at Tractor supply was $5.25 at the time.

I have an old Emglo portable air compressor that uses SAE 20 ND oil. I was using their branded oil but ordered some Amsoil synthetic commercial grade SAE 20 compressor ISO 46 oil. Maybe being synthetic it would work better in the cold temps. This compressor is "retired" from commercial job site...

A little while ago I purchased three 5 quart jugs of 5W-30 PUP from Amazon for about $23/5 qt. jug, this is how it was sold. This included shipping and NJ sales tax. It said it was sold by the Pennzoil Store. It was not eligible for their rebate however.
