ZDDP gets used up, so an oil with a few hard weeks of romping on it may likely have an equivalent % of available ZDDP as any of the new ILSAC GF6A lubricants. So replensishment may be in order depending on usage. This can come in the form of flat tappet cam break in lube supplement available...

No, he did the "get out of Cali" thing and moved East from Santa Clarita, CA. Still a bit of adjustment as they had pretty decent weather over there. They just went through a bad heat wave with temps over 110 for many days and mid 80's during the nightime! You will never see me in...

You misquoted me and left out the FORD part. Fake news everywhere :)

On my Japan- built Honda Fit sport, the molded door card, at the armrest, was molded improperly and it fell apart internally under the fabric skin. This is under warranty second year. They said they wouldn't cover that - owner "abuse". I wasn't in the mood for a fight over this insolent...

Man, if I was a new lurker here I'd say these BITOG guys are whacked !

I don't think anything in that range is "that good" but meh may be better than "that BAAD!" My BIL likes his CRV and supposedly he has one of the nasty tiny turbo diluters grenades.. But it never experiences COLD cold starts in Arizona. That may be saving it, IDK. I find all these cars a...

None for me. Had nothing but issue from "no improvement" to permanent "long cranking" after treatment. I try to run top tier fuel most of the time. The last stuff I ran was Gumout Regain on a DI ford. Didn't seem to hurt or help.

7 deg F is well below freezing, but how hot is the garage ambient temp? The compressor running constantly is a concern but if it's over 80 in the garage it may likely do so. Cant say for sure, even though I am in a log cabin in the woods, I don't have any "freezer out on the front porch"...

One would think that the bearing clearance tight enough, the molecular cohesion and surface tension of a viscous fluid would hold some oil in there and above. Engines I have worked on are old pushrod V8 an run 30 or 40 grade conventional. Ford 385, 335 and FE, BBC, SBC, RB Chrysler. Buick...

Many people forget about this car; Six speed automatic too - not CVT. A lot of employees where I used to work have them and they have good luck with them. Have the BIL check the tires. just a couple pounds too high can lead to a hard/crashing ride. Maybe it has a DIC readout of the...

Correct Lubener, I posted a link to the shop manual for his engine on post #14. His engine you screw in the dipstick. Most guys think you ALWAYS screw in the dip stick to check level which is not true. There are incorrect level checking videos on YT. "Rules of thumb" are no good here...

According to J.D. Power, the 2021 Chevy Equinox has a predicted reliability score of 87 out of 100. That's a high enough reliability rating to make this new Chevy model the Highest Ranked Compact SUV in Initial and Long-Term Quality. If you're looking for an SUV that you can depend on, this is...

I just got a virus malware attack at manualslib an hour ago

Many HONDA and TORO H shafties you do not screw in. I should never have said MOST - my mistake. I corrected it. The point I am trying to make is IT DEPENDS and some manuals are not clear. DO not assume. Do not go by google linked Youtube videos. I experienced this rampant misinformation...

Those you usually fill to overflow. On my CHONDA gen I go with "almost overflow: to avoid a mess :)

I saw the older memo date( or number) , then I saw the date code blocks thinking the 22 was current year. I forgot they go by decade, so 2 must be year 2012? Is that you take on it?

That's a larger vertical shaft Tecumseh. I read some snapper mowers used these. In my manual for a Toro (Lonchin) on a big snowthrower it explicitly states that you do not screw it in. I have seen also Honda where you do not twist lock or screw in for check, Mexican and North America...

I am seeing 21oz. in the Tecumseh manual. When a drain and fill try 20 oz. https://www.allotment-garden.org/rotavator-manuals/Techumseh-L-Head-Engines-Manual.pdf

CAUTION: On most HONDA and LONCIN (TORO) H shaft engines you do NOT screw in the dipstick to check level you just sit the dipper in the hole w/o turning. UPDATED FOR ACCURACY 220627-1129hrs

My fridge at home jumped to 47F yesterday when it was 85 in the house. Stupid thing has just one small folded condenser on the bottom of the unit with have of that laying on a compressed glassfibre pad! Very hard to impossible to clean. So I laid on the floor and at least i got the 1/2 lb of...
