just changed oil recently & sent a new analysis away. Truck has 149444 kilometers, or about 93000 miles on the engine & a little shorter OCI than the last one. Looks like a pretty good report, but seeing silicon on these last 2 samples have been above the average. Have noticed some oil seeping...

My town has a R.O water system. Would R.O. Water be suitable to flush coolant from vehicle? There is still chlorine added, & probably fluoride. I have a TDS monitor to measure the TDS in water. Prior to the town instaling this R.O. System I had an undercounter R.O. system as well. I could...

Another thing to add, if you plan on putting a beam in the rafters to support a load, hanging a deer or moose for skinning/ butcher you need to advise the truss manufacturers. I assumed I could just install a 10 foot beam of three 2X6 across 5 rafters, & install some eye bolts, but the building...

Steelcraft garage panels come in 21 or 24 inch size panels, so you can use any combination of 21 or 24 to get your door size. they prefer a minimum of 12 inches headroom inside, but they do have a low headroom kit. 4 x 21 inch panels will get you a 7 foot opening, 6 will get you 10.5 foot...

How much room do you have next to the existing pad? I would think that the contractors building it would prefer to ensure groundwork is done right. I recently built a 32 X 40 garage. They built it on a 4 foot ICF frost wall. I went with 12 foot high walls, and two 12 wide X 10 high overhead...

But when initially pulling out the dipstick it seems like the oil level is higher. I noticed that too with a Kia Forte that I topped off. When wiping the dipstick, & immediately checking again oil level is between the safe levels lines. After sitting over night on level surface in garage it...

it would still be interesting to see a VOA of the oil. I am unfamiliar with this brand.

Yes, I looked into it for a while & topped off her car. I am not very familiar with the KIA or Hyundai, & seen some comments that some had some issues with oil consumption, & shearing oil, maybe only in the turbo engines. Also meant Euro formulation oil as opposed to German. Just mixed up the...

What are the requirements for the 2015 KIA Forte, non turbo engine? The owners manual is pretty vague. States 4.0 L of Class API Service SM/ ILSAC GF-4 or above. What exactly is the Total Quartz? A friend has this car, & is low on oil, as in off the dipstick low. Just checking if it is safe...

Victorinox builds a pretty good multi tool. Not like the old style swiss army knife, but more like the leatherman. They seem to be pretty solid, & the knives have held a good edge.

Sounds similar to the device that Volkswagen used on their diesel engines.

Not sure what you pay for dental fees south of the border, but my last crown was 1350. They done some work on another tooth and the bill for the last visit was $1900. I have already had 4 crowns.

Nothing heavy, A 2 place home built Snowmobile trailer, & a16 foot Starcraft boat & trailer mostly. Just seen some people saying the 10R80 has a lot of moving parts, & subject to wear. I plan on keeping the truck for a while, so wanted to get the initial wear metals out as soon as possible...

Recently done a pan drop, & filter change. Sent a sample for analysis before, & after refilling with new oil. I would estimate I got about an 80% oil change Not much of an increase in Iron, & Copper from the previous analysis, & oil viscosity still within range. Slight increase in Aluminum...

I replaced the oil & filter yesterday. I pulled a new sample at 137000 km and will also be submitting a sample after the oil change. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. I have the 2018 3.5 Ecoboost. I used a hose fed in to my shopvac and collected the used oil in a couple of 4 liter...

I eat a lot of Northern Pike. They are good eating once you figure out how to remove all the bones. I usually cut into small pieces and coat in fish crisp, but have recently started using Shake & Bake original flavor. Really puts a nice crisp coating on. I will either cook in a deep fryer or...

I think they should have topped each vehicle off to 100% at the same time. Would be nice to have the comparison, & total price to drive a set distance between each vehicle, & time lost to refill the EV. I would also want to see a comparison in the winter pulling loaded snowmobile trailers on...

I prefer a longer inseam. This prevents your jeans from hiking up on your boots when you are sitting down.

we had an 80's F150 that used a slave cylinder on it. It was leaking so bad had to top of the reservoir daily with brake fluid. We did finally replace it, but it makes it a lot bigger job than it needs to be.

I would think there will be some fines handed out by FAA. Must be some kind of laws broken if you are performing stunts like this, & potentially putting others in danger.
