I thought since “The Big Beautiful Bill” was passed, emissions testing is a thing of the past.

Try 215/75r15. Back in the day it was my go to size for mini vans and what not. www.tiresize.com

The best over the counter Diesel engine oil for all weather is Delvac 0W40. Sadly it’s out of my price range.

Locomotives have auxiliary turbo pumps that run for several minutes after the engine shuts down for any reason. I didn’t know that the 60 year old technology finally tricked down to passenger cars and trucks. Which oil? If money is no object, Chevron Supreme SAE 40.

My Husqvarna FR 336 is 7 years old with about 300 hours on it running 30:1 and E-zero 91. No smoke.

Shampoo? What’s that? An EP additive? After decades of using Sunlight dish soap in the shower, I finally switched to Dawn.

Another waste of time and money.

Performing UOAs during the break-in period sounds like a waste of time and money.

The tire shop I frequent had to use starter fluid to seat 295/65r20 Toyo CTs and 295/55r20 Nitto EXOs on 20x10 Fuel wheels.

Go around the back of a MB dealership near the shop entrance and you will find empty M1 0W40 FS and Mobil synthetic ATF drums. I took a photo with my phone when a service writer wouldn’t sell me a transmission pan gasket. He was gone for about five minutes and said it will be about $250. For...

Back in the day we used to shoot .22 short in LR rifles because that’s what we could afford at 12 years old. It didn’t take long before we couldn’t close the bolt on LRs without getting in there with a wire brush on a drill.

How does LSJ test engine oils? No API, ACEA or other governing body certifications or manufacturers’ tests or approvals. Just three pulls on a dyno with a 70 year old engine design with a ft camshaft followed by a UOA. Thankfully nobody here is falling for it.

Yesterday; 200ml Husqvarna XP oil plus 6L premium E-zero boat gas = 30:1

Duron 10w30, and PC just rolled out a synthetic offering. 91-12.3-3.6
