Call Lowe’s corporate office. That’s illegal advertising. They will make it right.

Old man story alert….Our fleet shop had a delivery come in of Pursuit radials. The tire shop tech was gone to lunch so the delivery guy offloaded the tires right outside the shop door. A quick summer shower came while the tires were outside. The rain lasted only a few minutes and then the summer...

Any oil left from changing oil in my truck, boat, and 68 Firebird is collected and serves as oil for my lawn equipment. Not for a “superior blend” but it won’t go to waste. A lawn mower, tractor, or generator doesn’t mind 5w30, 10w30, or 10w40….

Wondering if these 6.2 engines are spinning rod bearings, seizing that rod and then breaking it? Same could be said for a seized wrist pin although the piston would probably break first. Either way, engine ruined. They make excellent power for their displacement (without the aid of turbo -...

The oil siphoned goes into the extractor with a convenient stopper and pouring spout. Less hoses to deal with than the electric pump (inlet - outlet). More opportunities for leaks I should say…

Yes. It was messy and of course needed 12 volts. I now have this...

You do what you want. Service advisors typically don’t know anymore about vehicles or oil than the average person. Neglect is what takes out engines. Not different brands of oil.

I’ve lived in both non-HOA and HOA neighborhoods. We were selling our home (non-HOA neighborhood) and our next door neighbor drug in a junk car and set it on concrete blocks in their yard right in plain view of our home. What ya think that did for the sale of my property? Yes, spoke to them but...

They will rise…because it’s a great excuse for dealers-sellers to margin up. Just like the fickle stock market….it is manipulated for the few that have mega funds to buy low. If our stock market-country’s financial system is so utterly fragile then we all need to hide our money in the mattress.

wheel-hub bearing or CV joint.

So the neighbors dog can come on your yard and poop and it’s ok then?

Yep. But…..hold him way out away from you! They will ruin a dog sniffing around their head.

Of course Rick is the voice of all things automotive. My experience comes from the 1100 plus first responder vehicles my techs were responsible for. Running through the car wash without letting vehicle cool from normal runs (especially in the summer) would result in pulsating brakes. The shift...

Car wash while brakes are hot will warp rotors.

And…..never shut off.

Oil leak on exhaust manifold. Most likely a leaking valve cover gasket.

That song has been covered by many artists-bands and that’s a true testament to stellar song writing. It made GC career. I’ve always enjoyed this version although an unlikely pairing otherwise….

My perspective-experience is from 1100+ first responder fleet. All were on rough service intervals. Street stuff…anything goes. Except for my personal vehicles…7k with a filter every change.

Spark knock is a typical cause.

Blow by is what I meant. Sorry.
