I usually use something like this, unless I lose it 😂.

I’d recommend anything you can get with a fabricated deck. Husqavarna makes a pretty good quality rider. If you want a ZTR, I’d go used at a local dealer or marketplace. Find something that has a fabricated deck and is commercial grade. For ZTR, look for Hustler, Scag, Toro, Gravely, and Bad...

I’ve cut my arms open more time than I can count on the portion of the fuel line that connects to the fuel rail in an attempt to remove the filter 😂.

I completely agree. I don’t see any reason for a manufacturer to continue with nitrile ADBV nowadays. In went nothing and on went a WIX 51358. This WIX is the last of my stash for this watercraft. I didn’t add any oil. I was over filled before removing filter and then right in the middle after...

Yeah, I don’t know what that is. I may just be from the old shop rag I was using. In went Castrol Edge EP 0w20 and on went another WIX WL10290. I have about 5 more WIX filters to go in my stash for this vehicle before moving to PG filters.

In went M1 0w20 EP and on went a PG 4612EX.

Thanks for the VOA! I have been wanting to get a VOA of this oil myself lately. The gold bottle really does it for me 😂. It also has the MB 229.71 approval while being Dexos1 G3 approved. I may start running this oil more. I like that they maintained their use of Ti, but the TBN seems low for a...

The last filter on my cutter today is a WIX 51365. This filter is so tiny its funny. It is off a 2000 Honda Insight, such a fun little car. This filter was in service for sometime between 5,000 and 7,000 miles. The metal crimp doesn't look very good, but the rest does! I always appreciate a...

The filter on the cutter today is a WIX WL10290 off a 2017 Chevrolet Spark. The engine is only a 1.4L NA engine, but has a huge filter for the size. I believe they run the same filter on corvettes. This filter was in service for 5k miles. It looks pretty good, other than the leaf spring. The...

Just got my oil filter cutter today, first C&P with it! Filter is a WIX 51358XP off of a 2018 Kawasaki STX15f. The filter only had about 3 hours on it. I took it off to see if the louvres were nice and open or not, well they were. However, this filter is in a horrible spot and I dented it...

Valvoline Dexron VI has been popping up cheap on Amazon lately. To my knowledge, the 9T transmissions have only an internal filter that is inaccessible.

Good thinking! If you have any questions about the transmission drain and fill, reach out to me, I have a whole procedure written out somewhere.

I had a similar vehicle, but with the 1.5T. Has the transmission been serviced? I serviced mine at 100k and the fluid was horrible, I’d highly recommend doing it.

1990.

Thanks for the info! There’s going to be a good bit of barefooting that’s going to be happening 😂.

It’s different in a few different ways. I’m not as familiar with it as I am other engines. I’m more familiar with the more modern engines.

Any recommendations for a marine grade oil? From what I’ve read, most run VR1 racing oil or the like.

Great PG filter, as always. I’ll have some CQ Premiums here to cut open in a couple thousand miles as well. Thanks!

I may be picking up an older Mastercraft boat w/ the 351w engine. It has flat tappet cams, requiring an high amount of ZDDP. I’ve kept a mental note of all the oils available locally that also have high ZDDP. Here’s the list, let me know if you have any other ideas! I’m interested to see what...

I service two pressure washers. One gets 0w40 SuperTech euro formula from Walmart, the other gets 15w40 SuperTech fully synthetic HDEO. Both work great and are cheap. Change it early and often with whatever 30 or 40 weight you desire. I would always run a full synthetic in these engines, makes...
