    Mix a little brown sugar into their water and a heat lamp, and they'll happily lay through winter.

    Verizon Wireless Price increase w/Autopay

    US Mobile also now has ATT (Darkstar). Been with US Mobile for a year and it has been excellent. Use VZW (warp) for every day, internal port to Tmobile for international travel, and FIL uses US Mobile ATT for an area that VZW and Tmobile doesn't work well. Their reddit support is top notch.

    MAG1 Full Synthetic 5w 30. 10k OCI?

    Not really. We are talking about Warren/highline full synthetics, didn’t feel the need to specify which one in the ST lineup.

    Toyota 0w-8 FF, 2.3k mi; 2025 Camry

    Actually, thats not true. TGMO 0w-8 and 0w-16 are loaded with moly at levels around 700ppm.

    Son gave me a deal on a JD D140 rider

    Yes, I already know all this via the PDS and SDSs. The Triax Supreme is J20D as well, not just J20C.

    2022 Toyota Camry Hybrid - 10K Mobil 1 0w-16

    TGMO 0w-16 is also loaded with moly. The big question is, what type of moly is each oil using.

    Son gave me a deal on a JD D140 rider

    Valid point on warranty, mine has been out of warranty for 10 years now. Triax utto supreme might end up being my choice. Good does of PAO. Half the cost of amsoil but very stout and excellent cold flow (need this for winter work and unheated garage). A few Deere docs actually referenced Triax...

    Son gave me a deal on a JD D140 rider

    The manufacturer recommends 5w50, Deere recommends their lo viscosity. Which one do you pick to follow? The one who builds the transmission or the one who builds the lawn tractor? J20D is essentially a 0w-16 and J20C is a 10w-30. Tuff Torq says 5w-50. If you read up on people with weak k46 and...

    High end lawn tractors vs. other brands

    Interesting you brought up the 5w-50. I’m getting ready to do the change in my x540 and debating switching to that instead of low vis Hygard.

    Problem is you have to take the operators station off to get to that black cap and there’s no drain plug. Doable but a huge pain. Most people pull the trans and turn it upside down to drain out all the fluid and then refill, or tap a new fill and drain plug.

    Son gave me a deal on a JD D140 rider

    Looks like a nice D140. The transmission is the weak spot on those. They have a “non-serviceable” transmission but you can service it you really want, it’s just a process of removing the whole rear axle/transmission.

    C&P Used SuperTech MP 7317 Oil Filter

    rip to the sweet prince that was the MP filters. That engine needs a lot of cleaning. The PYB looks to have done a decent job over the long (time) oci.
