Interstate used to be all I used in my marine and RV applications. I noticed the same trend a few years ago. I have a boat cranking battery and an RV deep cycle battery that both expired in under 2 years. So I switched to O’Reilly Auto Super Start batteries = all East Penn products. Been very...

Fire OS is just another AOSP. Android does the exact same thing. Airplane mode does not mean what you think it does. Put an Android phone in airplane mode for 24 hours, then go look at how much of your operating data was still transmitted back to Google servers. We aren’t in control.

I’d argue we’ve seen an unusual amount trainees and brand new certified controllers just up and quit in recent years. Without starting a culture war, there is definitely a generational gap. That being said, I’ve had a few young standout trainees as of recent too.

Low IFR (roughly 1200RVR) and likely false assumption that SWA would do their traditional rolling departure instead of a breif pause in position the runway. Kudos to the heads up awareness by the FDX crew. They saved a mid-air and likely their own lives. All appearances are an “operational...

Of course the Navy has to be different… 😂

My biggest question is based on the prevailing upper level winds, this thing had to have penetrated the Alaskan ADIZ several days before drifting across Canada and then entering Montana. But all the news reports along with the Pentagon spokesmen acted like they were caught off guard. Surely this...

We run the 213 filters in our 3 ton 2-stage unit. The duct work is only sized for 2.5 ton however. I change the 213 filter every 6 months at the beginning of either the heat or AC season. It always looks fine like it could go 1 year. If we ran the 210 filter, I’d likely go 1 year. Even at max...

It needs an oil with no VI that doesn’t shear. The fuel looks normal for any 4-stroke outboard. I’d be curious to see another run on Merc/Quicksilver 25w40 for comparison.

Amsoil OE and XL are perfect examples. API rated, but not DEXOS certified.

According to Chevron/Oronite- DEXOS Gen 3 is “better” than API SP/GF-6 in the following metrics: Turbocharger cleanliness, turbo coolant temp control, oxidation control, piston cleanliness, sludge control, fuel economy, aeration control, and LSPI.

O’Reilly and Autozone only in my town. O’Reilly 100% of the time. If I had a choice, it would go NAPA, AAP, O’Reilly. Never Autozone.

Not a lot of high mileage engines worried about DEXOS certification for warranty purpose. Secondly, if you’ve been using a DEXOS rated oil from the beginning, you generally would have no need for a HM oil

I thought the same thing

Too broad of a question. There are plenty of oils that are listed as an API rated oil only, yet would exceed the DEXOS performance specifications if tested against that metric. But if you’re asking about a bare minimum API rated oil vs a bare minimum DEXOS spec oil, then the DEXOS oil is...

Which one is it?

We get it. You don’t like the DEXOS scheme. You still haven’t provided any documentation to back up the claim that API SP=DEXOS This topic has been covered to death. DEXOS has always been a published and verifiable set performance benchmarks of API and ACEA testing that generally exceeds...

You left out the other convenient part: read the manufacturer’s limited warranty booklet: Failure to use “recommend” fluids may result in engine damage not covered under warranty. The onus is on you, not them. You incorrectly applied the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act here. As you know from your...

Update: swapped to an XG2 today and topped back off with AZF. Will report back.
