I don't have many hours, but I did do spin training in a Piper Tomahawk when I was 16 years old. The first two spins took a lot of altitude for me to recover...in fact, the first one got me so dizzy and disoriented that the instructor took control and recovered the airplane. I recovered on the...

Who are you responding to? I will go back and look, but my comments were very specific to the ATR-72.

I'm not jumping to conclusions, but one thing that I can't help but remember is the ATR-72 crash many years ago in Roselawn, Indiana. That was at least partially due to icing and deficiencies in the aircraft's design for dealing with it. They did a great deal of work and testing on the ATR-72...

If refineries weren't so expensive and so difficult to build, I'd bet they would move them, too. It wouldn't make sense to shut down or move one unless CA made it so expensive and regulated that it was no longer financially viable.

Would "exodus" be too inflammatory when describing the current situation of many companies leaving CA. Or maybe "fleeing" CA? I think if it were not such a common thing, one could make the argument that it is sensationalizing it. But what's happening is real, and Chevron is only one of many...

1993 Jeep Wrangler YJ. It was simple and had a great little 2.5 4 cylinder engine. It also had a massive amount of room under the hood, so things were easy to access. I changed spark plugs, thermostat, hoses, belt, PCV, and really learned to do all the different maintenance tasks on that...

People are dependent on corporations? No kidding! Lol. But it is not like Costco is the only company selling housing. Nobody will be forced to rent one at gunpoint. Hmmm. 25% affordable? That sounds nice, to me. Not greedy. They didn't have to make ANY of them in that category. I find...

Turtle Wax Seal N Shine works great on film, decals, etc, at least for protection. I know nothing of scuff buffing, though. But the good news is that the protector did its job, right?

Those people were probably all they could get, and all they can do is guess, really. I assume any pilot still alive who actually flew it cannot and will not say a thing about the top speed beyond the published Mach 3.2. I didn't even watch it. Love the Blackbird, though. I had a cool...

Funny, I see Ford and Chevy dealers around here every bit as stocked. They are all overpriced and facing an economy that is turning south. Not to mention, as others have....high interest rates. A perfect storm is brewing.

I agree, but I run mostly Mobil 1 anyway, so I'm not sure there was much to clean up. Most of my OCI's are with Mobil 1 EP, in which I have very high confidence. My 2018 has a round of Shell RGT 0w20 in it right now. It will go back to Mobil 1 for the next round, which will probably wind up...

HPL looks like great stuff! Wow, expensive, though.

On paper, that X2 0w20 M1 looks great. But I gave it a 5k run and it came back with higher iron than typical for my engine. Still within normal levels, but I was a bit surprised at that. I may run another round to see how it does and rule out some kind of anomaly.

I would stick with 0w20 but I'd change it much sooner than 11k. I'm also not a fan of ESS, but that E-torque system is very smooth and nice. I've run my 2018 Pentastar out to about 8500 max and iron was significantly lower than that. The highest I ever saw was 38ppm on the first oil change...

Thanks! Where can it be bought?

Wow! I've run a bunch of older M1 cartridge filters in my Jeeps and have never seen an issue, at all. No tears, and not much twisting, which Pentastars love to do to filters. UOA's came out well, too. How new is that filter?

Pardon my ignorance, but what brand is HPL? Havoline?

I'm watching Godzilla Minus One for the third time. I LOVE this movie!

I do it myself and did my first one when I bought the car last June (M1 EP 5w30) and just did the second one at just over 5k (M1 0w40). I like the 5k OCI and won't go more than 1 year. I think this year may see more than 5k, but there will be a great deal of highway mileage, so I will probably...

Just looking at that data, why use 0w40 instead of 0w20? Looks like the 0w20 was doing as well or better.
