I picked up an engine air filter from a Ford dealer last week, and they sold me an Ecogard.

Looking at your link, Walmart.com is the vendor. Retailers will often set up a separate company for online sales. Some stores honor the online price, some don't. Next time you see a discounted Walmart.com item, buy it online and schedule in-store pickup.

Between vehicles, equipment and irrigation power units, we deal with a lot of batteries. Anything made by Deka seems to give us the fewest issues. Exide is good, but sometimes you get one built on a Monday. Johnson Controls' stuff is a crapshoot. Blemished Interstate batteries my boss keeps...

Are you sure it's not just a bad stepper motor on the dash gauge? The one on my 04' GM truck sometimes works/mostly doesn't for about 10 years now. I figure if oil pressure does get too low I'll get a warning chime/message from the computer or the motor will fail.

There will be a performance penalty unless you connect nodes via Ethernet. This is because it has to bridge the connection from the primary node wirelessly. The lag however is not even close to being as bad as those garbage range extenders. Again, unless you are downloading large files all day...

If your router & ISP connection aren't in a central part of the house, I like mesh systems. TP-Link makes a good one with Deco. It's very easy to setup, and more nodes can be added to help reach dead zones. Don't get too obsessed with speed. Most households don't use anything close to the...

I thought racing slicks went on the rear axle.

All gasoline comes from the same regional tank farms. The only thing some brands do is blend in extra additives at the loading rack. Unless your vehicle calls for premium, you're wasting your money. Shell's other fuels have extra additives since they participate in the Top Tier program. I use...

Kilmer's like that annoying talkative neighbor you try to avoid when you're out doing yardwork, and they happen to be outside too.

Diablo makes some smaller profile reciprocating blades. https://www.diablotools.com/explore/recip-blades

Unless you need performance for gaming or video/photo editing, I tell people to buy off-lease refurbished enterprise computers. Dell has an business refurb outlet, and there's always eBay. Just vet your vendors. https://dellrefurbished.com/ My circa 2012 ThinkPad T430 that I paid $199 for in...

They didn't get very far, but Terror Free Oil circa 2007, lol. I think they only managed to open one station in Nebraska. I know that they bought fuel from Sinclair, who admitted that it's not possible to guarantee that no middle eastern oil made it into their products. The place closed like...

Dipsticks aren’t precision measuring instruments. As long as the level is in the operating range, don’t worry about it.

I use the default Windows AV, and my keep my browser and operating system up to date. Browsers no longer supporting Adobe Flash and Java has helped things a lot. Just use common sense, and don't open files if you don't know what they are. If you have family members that do not use common sense...

Yes, big box hardware stores sell ready to use products. Just read the labels carefully. The common herbicide you’ll want to stay away from is glyphosate/RoundUp. That’s non-selective and will kill grass.

Verify compatibility for your grass type if you need to treat large areas, but just spot treating with a broadleaf herbicide like dicamba, or 2,4-d should nuke it. Just stay away from flowers, and other desirable broadleaf landscaping.

0W40 for the 6.4 Hemi RAM, John Deere 15W40 for most everything else. 5W30 is for this F150 and an 8.8L irrigation power unit we can't run the Deere oil on due to issues. It's a farm truck, but mainly for travel due to fuel economy. We have bigger trucks for heavy towing, etc.

Blackstone report 9100 miles later on Pennzoil Platinum. I don't know what's going on with the wrong engine type, and the sentence about wear metals being average at 5,500 miles.

If you have John Deere dealer nearby, they sell a EP polyurea grease. https://jdparts.deere.com/partsmkt/unsecured/document/english/pmac/8180_fb_GreaseSpecialMultiPurpose.htm

Just be patient. They could be dealing with a backlog. Blackstone still hasn't processed my sample in over two weeks, but I did get replacement kits /w a customer number, so I was able to register.
