    it isn't, modern engine oil has all the additives an engine needs. no owner manual on any vehicles i have ever owned recommended oil additives. in fact they often warn against using additives.

    Bicyclists run over by teen rolling coal

    never ever heard the term "rolling coal" before ... but what sort of loser does that? I guess the answer to the question "can people really be that stupid?" is always going to be YES.

They had some investment books and they were big investers in consumer staples. type stocks and funds. ....food, medicine , building materials, paper, clothing toiletry items, soap shampoo...

    Wife and I likely wont make it in the millionaire club ,but we hope to be able to ramp up investing to the 1500 per month range and maybe slightly higher once the house is paid off and we dump SS retirement dollars into it. If we can stay the course, stay alive and healthy and "God willing and...

    I always learn something new when I look at the boglehead forum. I am not a registered user there, I just lurk and read topics as I see fit . Boglehead can be somewhat addicting at times,kind of like BITOG site, one topic of interest leads to another and another and another . Hard to just...

    I Heart radio and Apple does have many of Bob Brinker's 'Money talk" radio programs in podcasts. I enjoyed that radio show. Though many of his guests were way way out of my league in terms of $$ , The investment advise Bob talked about works as well for a thousandaire as it does for the...

    Vitamin D

    That is sound advice for sure. I think many people are likely low in vitamin D especially in winter and even in summer many people are not out in the sun and when they are they use sunscreen which blocks vitamin D production. Lots of research studies indicate that blood levels above 30ng/ml...

    stock market

    Only reason I went with Vanguard was because I was somewhat familiar with the Money talk" radio programs and Bob Brinker. I think that Victory capital will see many, many former USAA mutual fund owners jump ship. I might have stayed with Victory had their ER not jumped up to 1.14. That is way...

    5w-20 instead 0w-20 ?

    You are in Turkey so I believe the temps you state are celsius, so 35C is 95 F and 0C is 32 F. At those temps I would just stick with whatever the Owner manual recommendations as the difference between 0W20 and 5W20 would be minimal at best. 32F is not cold.

    Workout supplements.

    Exactly, my brother has been a correctional officer for over 2 decades and the prisoners do not get protein supplements or shakes or other so called strength building, vitamins, minerals and the like. They get 3 squares a day and that's it. Yet the hard core prison lifters are very very strong...
