There are many people that have used Fram orange cans without complaints as well? Use whatever works for you. He has UOA to back it up.

I watched a show about bunker oil vs Diesel in container ships. The bunker oil is much cheaper and produces more power so they burn it where they can. There are zones where low sulphur diesel must be used and there are huge fines if you don't. The ship featured in the show was going to enter...

Why would anything hurt aluminum threads. Use whatever. I would try the silicon brake grease or dielectric grease.

You answered your own question right there. Could be several hundred to a grand to replace some of these stupid things.

I agree with this and often do the same, but in reality it probably doesn't make as much difference as we like to think it does. There are plenty of 200-300k mile vehicles that are running the cheapest whatever.

Wait a few months or a year and the O'Reilly filters will be made by someone else and be junk, while the Wix will be better... It seems to be a never ending cycle. When I first joined this forum, Fram was junk and Wix/Napa Gold and Motorcraft were the best. Then Fram was great again, now not...

Amsoil Interceptor is supposed to prevent exhaust valve deposits FWIW. I have used it and Dominator with great results.

I have never seen anything where it was back spec'd. The new 5.0 with cylinder deactivation (in I think 2021) specs 5W30. I am running 5W30 in my 2019 and I haven't noticed much difference from OW20 for what it is worth. They are a somewhat noisy engine even when all is right. I doubt that...

We have Collector plates in MN that you can get if the vehicle is more than 20 years old, but it can't be a daily driver. I'm not sure how they would know?

I think they look good, but I don't want to pay an extra $30 a year for them. The State gets enough money the way it is IMO.

Our Lowe's about 15 miles away seems to stock more appliances than a lot of places. I ultimately bought at local regional appliance chain called Karl's and got a better deal with next day delivery.

Even if they had stock you couldn't take it anyway so it wouldn't matter? I guess gone are the days of your appliance dying and going to the store to get an immediate replacement.

How do you know I don't know that? Please don't create scenarios for me either.... When I needed a refrigerator a couple years ago I didn't choose Home Depot because delivery dates were out almost 2 weeks and it took a couple weeks to get everything because their in store stock was next to zero.

The smashed one was probably from the last time they let someone take one home themselves. All jokes aside, it is irritating that they have something in stock and you can't take it home immediately. Instead you may have to wait a week or more for delivery depending on their schedule while you...

Yamaha MusicCast 7.1 receiver in the basement living room, Yamaha MusicCast Soundbar upstairs living room, MusicCast Speakers in the garage and kitchen. They are all ethernet or WiFi (Airplay and Bluetooth, that I never use). All can stream on their own or be linked together. I like it.

Same thing in my opinion. Chinese companies are pretty much under the thumb of the CCP and will do their bidding if pressed. I also think manufactured in China is a lot different than engineered in China using Chinese components. A lot can be hidden using Chinese silicon.

All true, but there is also nothing wrong with knowing you are dealing with a Chinese CCP backed company.

It wouldn't be hard to re-terminate those to use for ethernet. That would be your best option. Then you could wire your wireless access points.

I use Amsoil Dominator because we buy it by the gallon for dirt bikes. I'm sure Sabre is great, but never found the need to try it since we have so much Dominator and it runs clean.

What more proof is needed to call it a terrorist act? There are videos that the guy put out and he kills 15 people
