Are you sure it's a AGM vs SLA? I will bet SLA. I have not done any real research but I have an SLA for small generator and it was not obvious how to set my normal car/truck battery tester so I could test the battery. A decent AGM battery should be able to make it through the off season...

EvapoRust will definitely get rid of rust with an overnight or 1 day soak. But don't soak for days as if will remove the rust but turn the item black.

The radiator is an almost closed system. It should not be loosing any coolant. You may never see a pinhole leak in radiator. Fill to COLD (making sure all air is gone) then check it weekly when the engine is gold to make sure the level stays on COLD.

I think the factory thermostat is the proper one to use. If you have a cooking system problem then it needs to be fixed. Changing the thermostat to a different temp thermostat is not the solution.

That where BITOG therapy can help.

It's important to cut open several new filters of each type to check for quality control between each filter. So I would say you buy 10 of each filter type, cut open 9 to verify their quality control and if the nine all are of high quality then you are good to go using the 10th.

Here is a picture of the seal. Any damage you see may be from me removing it. Don't understand the rusty look. Nothing should be rusting in that area. It has a tiny coiled spring ring holding the inner part of the seal against the shaft. It feels old and a little hard rubber.

So are you saying you use the site now as therapy?

I get stuff out of my truck during the day for varying reasons so I keep it open during the day. For me walking the dog, locking the house and locking my truck just before I go to bed makes sense. Usually between 10 and 11 PM I feel it's reasonable for a door locking chirp as long as it's not...

I think if the oil pan is hot the crush washer may expand differently when drain plug is tightened. That will need to be taken into account.

The HOA board met and discussed. Other board members lock their car at late night with a "chirp". Or two. Others hear a neighbor's wind chimes. Bottom line is there are noises in the neighborhood at night. The board responded the complaint was "non actionable". While I expected the...

I live in constant fear they will deport my mother in-law who lives at 1837 3rd Street, Los Angeles, Calif 90037, blue house, she gets off work at 6PM.

Late changing your oil because you still have not finished reading the 500+ threads on what is the best crush washer for my 1990 Ford Escort.

I was always afraid overnight humid air would get in thru the open drain hole and rust something. I am a "when it turns from a stream to a drip drip drip then I done" guy. And when over 70 you might get into the car, start engine, back up, see the oil drain pan and wonder who left that there.

Takes more than one hand to count on your fingers the number of battery chargers you have!

Plan the first oil change before buying the car?

Wife recently said if I go to Harbor Freight one more time she will divorce me. I'll miss her.

You walk out of Harbor Freight without buying any tools because you realize you already have one of everything they sell.

You change your oil in Walmart parking lot because not allowed to at condo or apartment complex.

You think you have hit the jackpot when OLM says you need to change the oil!!
