    Flushed antifreeze

    Most car thermostats that I am familiar with are designed to run about 190 to 195F. Maybe your Buick is different. IDK. I would find that out first before you start to think you have a problem, which may not exist. Maybe they put in a 192 thermostat? Which would be a perfect and simple...

    I wonder what the difference is between that oil at NAPA and the Walmart Super Tech SAE 30 non detergent?

    Power washer pump lube?

    Last year I notice my PW was struggling whenever I started it. It took about 5 min before it would start to run normal. I had never changed the pump oil, as some where in the manual it say do not change it. I was unsure of what to do, I decided to change the oil. It was grey in color...

    You gotta get one of those spark plug sockets with the extension

    I am looking for a magnetic set that is reasonably priced. But they skip the 3/4 which I do use. They also skip the 18mm which I have never had a need for but you never know what the future will bring. . I do not mind the 9/16 and the 14 mm being used interchangeably. The same with the 5/8 and...

    440-T4 missing bolt

    If there is no fluid coming out of it you are fine. It appears dry from the picture. Sleep well.

    Are these manufacturers getting sneaky with part numbers?

    The internet makes that so much easier. If they can cut out the middle man that is more profit for them. Do you actually think they will share the cost savings with the customer?

    Brand recommendation for Power tools (drill, small impact, screwdriver) for apartment?

    I am not 100% sure what you mean but I do know you can adapters that will allow you to use other brands batteries on Dewalt and on other brands. I have seen them on Ebay. I do not see this as a desirable way to go if you are buying new. If someone gives you a free tool then yes, sure.

    Transmax ATF/CVT Universal as an SP3 match?

    I would use the MaxLife ATF. It covers SP3 and it is readily available. If you had a CVT it would be a different spec. No need to overthink it.

    Brand recommendation for Power tools (drill, small impact, screwdriver) for apartment?

    Even inside of Milwaukee they have 12 volt and 18 volts systems. Two battery platforms inside on one company. With that said I own two 12v Milwaukee power tools and really like them. At the time I had a need and Ryobi did not have a good option so I went with Milwaukee. But my majority of...

    Brand recommendation for Power tools (drill, small impact, screwdriver) for apartment?

    OK, thanks. I use to see Hitachi power tools in stores a few years back. I have not seen any in a long while. But I am not going out of my way to find them.

    Brand recommendation for Power tools (drill, small impact, screwdriver) for apartment?

    We have Makita in the States and in my humble opinion they make a great tool. A bit pricier but worth it for a heavy users. I have never seen nor heard of Hikoki. Is that a Swedish brand?

    Brand recommendation for Power tools (drill, small impact, screwdriver) for apartment?

    For Home owner grade power cordless tools I think Ryobi is a great deal. They have not changed their battery platform in decades and have no plans to do so moving forward. You can get packaged deals frequently at HD and on line at various tool distributes. They are good enough. I have used...

    old washer needs repairs; worth the fix?

    NOTHARRY: What is your opinion of the current large appliance offering from GE? I have been hearing, anecdotally, they are more reliable than most of the other offerings today. Experience matters. Your thoughts?

    old washer needs repairs; worth the fix?

    For the past 2 or 3 years I hear more and more people having problems on new appliances. Washers, Dryers, Refrigerators. All Brand names and things break frequently. They may be under warranty but it is not always hassle free. If you have something older that was made well and you are not...

    I need the best penetrating oil

    I do not think is available in that size. Why don't you buy Kroil and spray some silicone on the frozen parts. Try it. what do you have to lose?

    100 Octane Low Lead in OPE engines?

    Stabil helps but is limited. Your problem is basically ethanol in the gas not the octane. Going to LL 100 octane in a small engine is a waste of money. You can not adjust the timing so you may lose some power as it burns slower. The lead has health issues. Well established and not...

    Best high mileage oil for leaks

    I was just at Wal-Mart and looking for some Super Tech 5w-30 full syn oil. They did not have any, but they did have it in a full Syn High Mileage. I looked at the other High Mileage Brands Like QS, Mobil 1, Castrol and maybe another or 2. I do not recall all of them. None of them make any...

    Qty of 4 Poulan PP4218's - Cannot get carbs tuned.

    It is good to know when to take a pass and move on. If you are fixing something to learn, that is one thing, but if your goal it to make a business from it then 2 cycle hand held products can be a big crap shoot with out all the right tools and knowledge.
