    9mm handgun recommendation

    My friend has a G3C and it fits my hand perfectly (I didn't get to shoot it though and I've read that some people don't like the trigger while others like it a lot). What are your thoughts on it's trigger?

    Coolant recommendations for 2004 Lexus V6, please

    Thanks, I missed that thread. No reason to buy PEAK 10X now that it's just another dexclone.

    Valvoline 5w30 Extended Protection

    Valvoline EP is a fine product but as Glenda W. pointed out it's not a long drain oil like Mobil 1 EP. For a normal 5 to 7K OCI the Valvoline would be great but if I were doing a longer OCI I'd use Mobil 1 EP.

    Is the PEAK 10X new formula still 2 EHA free?

    Lumber Finer synthetic XL vs K&N

    The Luber Finer 6607 filters that I bought for our Mazda seem identical to the ST 6607 that are sold at Walmart. A good basic filter IMO. The XL is probably equivalent to the discontinued ST MP which means it has a silicone ADBV and apparently no different otherwise. PS: You wrote 'Lumber...

    Coolant recommendations for 2004 Lexus V6, please

    I've had PEAK Global Lifetime in my Corolla for years with no issues. PEAK 10X is also 2 EHA free (as recommended by Japanese makers) and I wouldn't have a second though about running it in a Toyota after a full flush.

    Help with fouling spark plug on my 18hp B&S Intek

    Thanks for this additional information. I ordered the gasket kit on Ebay and wondered how they could sell the whole gasket kit so cheap ($12).....I'm sure it's not the same quality as the OE which lasted 17 years. I'll try to determine if the head is warped but I'm wondering if it's a good...

    2022 Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS

    I'm guessing that many ATV owners are using regular store bought 40 weight oils but I'll probably tell my friend to make tht decision himself so that I'm not blamed if any issue arises. AA caries a 5w50 Castrol synthetic but only 1 store in my 30 mile radius has it in stock and that's a...

    Spark plugs for a 2020 Equinox 1.5T

    OT: Why are turbo charged engines harder on plugs? Just wondering.

    2022 Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS

    Do you think a 5w40 like Mobil 1, QS or Castrol would work as well as the Delo? What about a 10w40 motorcycle oil?

    2022 Polaris Sportsman 570 EPS

    My friend has this machine and asked me about changing his oil. It seems that Polaris recommends their 5w50 synthetic which seems pricey. What is the consensus on using more commonly available oils? It seems the Fram motorcycle oil filter 6017a is spec'd but I'm thinking the 7317 would work...

    Help with fouling spark plug on my 18hp B&S Intek

    I should have mentioned that it started using a little oil this year so I just ordered a new head gasket because it makes sense that that's my problem. Thanks guys. I won't get around to changing it for a few weeks but I'll update this thread with the results.

    Help with fouling spark plug on my 18hp B&S Intek

    My 2007 Craftsman riding mower with an 18hp Briggs and Stratton Intek single cylinder started fouling the plug this year which I noticed due to hard starting. I ended up buying a new carb and replacing all the original fuel lines as recommended by SHOZ back in an August post (I never realized...

    Replace battery for 2019 Ford Fusion question

    I've replaced the batteries in both my 2014 Focus and 2016 Escape without resetting the BMS...(didn't know anything about it until this BITOG thread). I've had no issues.

    Identify Genuine Mazda Fluids

    While I would normally agree with you (and I have used Maxlife ATF in our Honda and Hyundai with success) I would stick with Mazda ATF or an equivalent BLUE fluid because supposedly Mazda checks that if your A/T needs warranty work. I used Aisin's blue Mazda FZ equivalent in our CX-30 with good...

    2023 Mazda CX-50 2.5S 26.5k mi; Pennzoil Platinum 0W-20 9.8k mi

    I agree....that's why I was surprised that Admiral Yoda had this oil burning issue on his 2.5 Skyactiv with his conservative OCI regimen. posted today-- 10/13/24: "My wife's 2016 Mazda CX-5 with the Skyactive 2.5L has been burning some oil as time has gone on. It has 145k miles on it now and...

    Neighbors rolled the dice on a manufacturer buyback vehicle... and lost.

    That's why I'll only buy (new) non domestic vehicles from now on.....American companies seemed to have lost their way.

    Fram or Purolator oil filter-Any filter they have

    I've seen junk looking filters from both.....I've seen nice looking filters from both....It's really a crap shoot. I do like the ST filters but Walmart seems to be phasing them out.
