March of 2022, fell in my driveway clearing snow... Had back pain but kept working etc. Then over the course of a month the pain got worse and worse until I woke up one night and ended up taking an ambulance to the hospital because it was really bad. While I was waiting to see a doctor in the...

Hey folks, Just thought I'd let you all know about Amsoil 0w30 European 3.5 HTHS oil. It's a pretty decent price and Amsoil claims it also meets API SP requirements on top of all the European tests they have completed. I switched over to it in the Caravan because I was looking for a 0w30 with...

Long time user of Amsoil products across our family of vehicles... We have a few short tripping vehicles and those we change yearly. The ones that don't drive a lot like summer only cars or grandma type thing those get every 2 years and none of them have had any issue.

My engine was spec'ed for 5w20 but an earlier version of it and in Europe they call for 5w30. In another version of my engine they call for 0w20. I don't care what the weight is, I look at my UOA trends to see what yields me better results. (Manual says 5w30 is fine when 5w20 isn't available)...

Nah, don't want to get Cancelled on the Twitter Toilet. I got enough issues in my life at the moment.... :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

API RESPONSE: "Fuel dilution is considered a malfunction and would not be a design consideration for engine oil viscosity. Engine oil stay-in-grade performance is evaluated as part of the API Category testing. Engine oils meeting API SP and ILSAC GF-6 should stay in grade for gasoline direct...

You know what, I didn't even think of doing that... You are right, the shipping price isn't linear... It appears successive items added is less expensive... I'd have to order 12 Gallon Jugs to make it less expensive than my Amsoil now. Which if there is a Benefit then fine I'll stock it, but...

I'd love to try the HPL but $80 shipping for 4 Gallons is a bit steep... Any Canucks getting it here somewhere?

As others can attest I used 0w20 in my Caravan before and I experimented with 30wts.. I found that it was more important use use an oil with the highest HTHS value as possible either in the grade that your engine calls for or one step thicker... With regards to 0w16 applications, I'm not sure...

Oh and... I signed up to be a volunteer for Spinal Cord Injury Ontario to go and speak to others struggling and to talk about my Journey. I wrote an article for them as well. It has been a challenge and I've had some really low points along the way, but I'm SO much better than I was, so I want...

Hi Everyone: I'm doing ok. I'm getting around pretty good with my 2 canes now. Distance is an issue for me as the muscles in my legs and hips that still work have to pick up the slack for the ones not working so I get fatigued after 200-300ft. My legs are getting pretty skinny with the calve...

Thanks for the story! ... I hope to be wrenching again soon. Even if it requires special provisions to accomplish the tasks. I can't just let my dads tools sit idle. 👍

Thanks Frank. I won't lie, the first few weeks was the hardest and tears were shed and I felt like I was going to be in a chair forever but my PT's kept on me with positive encouragement and inspiring stories and that kept me going. Once I saw the improvements after that, I was really...

All good. No worries and thanks!

Thanks buddy!

A pic of me walking upright with 2 quad canes and my leg splints. Amazing what is possible for paraplegic's today!

Hey everyone, as I've had a few of you reach out to me recently, I thought I'd post an update... I'm still in outpatient Physio/Rehab and they've got me upright and walking with bilateral leg splints and 2 Quad Canes. I can manage about 25m (83ft) in a single go on level flat ground, before...

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the kind words. I'm walking 100ft with a walker and leg splints. Its slow and calculated but its pretty amazing considering 6 weeks ago I was barely able to stand unassisted. It really is a testament to the Physio team here at the Rehab section of my Hospital and...

Yeah it was a shocker that a slip and fall could lead to this. In true BITOGer fashion I was worried about how to do my oil change that was coming due. Ha! I had Adam and his dad do it while I was on video call through Telegram with them watching/instructing. 🤣🤣🤣 It went well and without...

So as many of you know I lost my dad in November. It was a hard loss for me. Prior to that loss I was spending a lot of time at my mum and dads doing what my dad couldn't and also to spend what time I could with him before he left us due to his illness. I enjoyed wrenching in the garage on...
