I see a lot of fuel additive products that either claim they protect against fuel system corrosion and/or claim to protect against the use of ethanol fuels (which I think is effectively the same claim). I have also seen claims that with "modern vehicles", such fuel additives are not necessary at...

His sign presupposes that people who don't understand what the "blinky thing" mean, assumes they at least know how to read. :cool: Ed

Nothing at all...right now. I have a friend who has his Masters Degree in Finance and makes a living by using Excel for analyzing real estate investment portfolios and opportunities. In short, he's a whiz at Excel so when I have a little time, I'll pose this question of him. Ed

Courtesy of your photos, and my recent reply from Fram customer support, I also recognize what their customer support representative was mentioning when she said (and I quote...) "Good Morning, These 2 filters are very comparable, they both have a filtration of 99% of 20 micron, but the...

Where did you get your tire tread gauge? Who makes it? Ed

I just knew you all would get a kick out of Fram's response. o_O Ed

I emailed Fram directly and asked... "Fram, I have a 2019 Toyota Tacoma with the 3.5L V6 motor. What's the difference, either in the construction or the filtering ability, between the Fram Titanium filter (SKU FS9972) and the Fram Ultra Synthetic (SKU XG9972)? Thank you." and they replied...

I have a list of 133 widgets (for simplicity sake). Each widget has a unique name. Each widget is also assigned a number from 4 to 14000, but some widgets do have duplicate, assigned numbers. I want to assign all of the 133 widgets to one (1) of twelve (12) groups, named Group 1, Group 2, and...

I completely agree. As a former California Real Estate Broker, I've seen a lot of people dig financial holes for themselves by obtaining HELOC loans they were, sometimes, never able to recover from. Just my .02 as well. Ed

I'll bet Project Farm is already done some, ahem..."analysis" of the fluids. :) Ed

Did you talk with the Store Manager? Their insurance may very well pay for the repair. When shopping once at Toys”R”Us, a shopping cart blew on a windy day and hit my truck and traveled down the side of my truck. I went inside to grab the Manager who looked at the damage and turned in a claim...

I just heard on the radio last weekend that boat owners in California did see a huge license fee increase on their boats despite what the press would have you believe. https://bit.ly/3waiKCZ Ed

I've never sent oil for analysis yet but, since you think Blackstone isn't very good, who do you think is better? Ed

I don't think Jim Fixx is a good example! "Running, heart disease, and the ironic death of Jim Fixx" Source: https://bit.ly/3ddyvlQ I don't remember where I read about them, but here are some additional thoughts... NATURAL (natural vitamin E is listed as d-alpha tocopherol, d-alpha Tocopherol...

I suppose what would worry me, with a brand new vehicle, is the dealer or factory denying a claim IF you do have a/any problem. It would be "a walk in the park" for them to tell you "it's your problem" because you didn't use what the engineers recommended. In other words, I see the risk while...

You're going to run 0W-40 in a brand new car that calls for 0W-20, while it's still under warranty...am I reading that correctly? Ed

"SI" is vague. From experience, SI1 is probably the most common grade with inclusions not visible to the naked eye. SI2 has inclusions not visible to the naked eye when viewing the stone from the top...but likely IS visible when viewed from the bottom. SI2 has inclusions that are starting to be...

Pawn shops are the absolute worst place to take jewelry to sell. As a general rule of thumb, they'll give you a maximum of 10% of what they think they can quickly sell an item for to someone else. Think about that. 10%. Ed
