The safest way to currently protect your accounts from being hacked when making purchases at Point of Sale (POS) is to use contactless payment, aka. tap-to-pay, and never let the card out of your hands, even at a fast-food drive-thru. Even safer, set up Apple or Google wallet. I have my Apple...

I feel like I should be lying on a couch and writing a big check at the end of the session. Oh wait, I am writing a big check. Now I need a nap.

I'll try to get hold of Wearcheck tomorrow. I watched a couple of their videos. They have an app (I hate downloading apps to my phone), but they also have a web-based way to submit sample data.

Thank you. I've looked around their website and they don't seem to be oriented toward individuals. Is it necessary to have a business account, or just fill out the form/contact info and see what they have to say?

They make it up in volume?

There's a thread talking about when Amsoil is going to refresh their Signature Series line, specifically 0w-20. If and when this happens, do they keep the current and offer the new? Or just change the formulation and not say anything because they know changing to the new isn't relevant? Coke...

I'm retentive, so I could never do it. I'm planning out a potential switch from Amsoil SS to HPL PPPCMO, but because I have a case of Amsoil on the shelf, not for another two OCIs. I just changed the oil the other day, so with our usual annual mileage, it will be toward the end of next year, or...

My puppers and I go out every morning. This morning we did about 1.5 miles. Our German Shepherd is over 8-years-old and has some hip issues (using stuff vet recommended) and his weight is low for his size. Part of the route took us past our house, so I dropped off the now-full poop bags near the...

I had an issue with some virgin samples I sent to them for analysis. I tried getting it corrected, but it never was. I even had Amsoil tech support work with them, but nothing changed. Also, and I've mentioned this in a different thread, I'm getting old and my handwriting is pretty shaky. Their...

LSJr responded to my question related to Ti missing. I can't say I'm happy with his answer. I didn't realize paying twice as much for the premium analysis (which includes particle count) was going to mean something else was going to be deleted from the results, in this case, Ti. "No, we still...

Start with good genes. Unfortunately, this doesn't apply to me. I'm still working, and plan to do so for a few more years, or as long as my company will keep me, whichever comes first. While mowing yesterday, I was thinking about the "Tell me you're (something), without telling me" related to...

Tesla car delivers itself to owner in Austin. Today's local Tesla story.

I have a new Pilot and running Amsoil SS 0w-20. I understand the switch to 0w-30 SS, but why switch to the Euro blend? Thanks

I appreciate the heads-up. Knowing I've purchased quite a few Anker products, I searched Amazon and have three of their power banks. One is model A1261, but it's not part of the recall... yet. I'm flying to London in September and always take a power bank. I'll order up a "tsa approved lithium...

Lake's been very responsive to follow-up emails, and I've had many. When looking for an oil for the Audi, he cautioned me about using the Ravenol VSE in a DI, turbocharged engine due to the high levels of calcium and sodium. I'll continue to use SD and pay closer attention to all the fields...

I got an answer from LSJr on why the lab SD uses reports much higher levels of molybdenum than others. He said SD's lab uses RDE vs ICP, without saying ICP is the method used by other specific labs. "Most labs use the ICP method, which only sees particles up to about 5 microns. We use the RDE...

This is what I understood your asking. In this report when I was testing other oils for the Audi, it was on there, also.

It looks like it's no longer on their report. I'll ask.

In my latest communication with Lake, I asked why his molybdenum levels typically report significantly higher than Blackstone and Oil Analyzers. He said their lab uses RDE vs ICP.

I agree, and told Lake these discrepancies are being pointed out on this forum. I hope he starts paying closer attention. It was good to better understand why his moly levels are being reported higher than BS and OA. I did some more research on ICP vs RDE and his explanation is spot on to what...
