I lived in Germany in '92 and '93. The company was generaous enough to provide me with a single family house with bodenheizung. I recall the tankraum that held 6000 liters of heating oil.

Is it still $9/month? Mine is $11 and change.

2017 Toyota Prius V @53,939 miles. Idemitsu TLS-LV. This looked a bit more involved than I wanted to tackle so I took it to an independent shop that I've worked with going on two decades now. They charged $75 for labor.

Been there done that...

I don't know about all, but I've managed to use it just about everywhere to the north and east of Baltimore.

So... In my experience 2023 Prius - 50k with 10k OCI 2017 Prius V - 50k with 10k OCI 2010 Prius - 210k with 10k OCI Granted that these are only three data points, but my experience over the course of 310k miles seems to throw a bit of shade on your blanket statement.

I power my mower shed with a similar setup, albeit with only a single 90 watt panel and a 100 Ah LiFePO4 battery. You might want to think about 12 volt DC LED lighting. I typically only use the inverter to power the charger for an Ego brand string trimmer or the battery tender for the lawn...

$3.759 today at Royal Farms in Douglassville for 90 Octane E0. That's down 34 cents since my last posting of $4.099 on 1 September 2024. Earlier today I ran my Stihl 2-cycle leaf blower with a mix of E0 going back more than a year. No issues whatsoever. Similarly I ran a Harbor Freight earth...

My John Deere D140 lawn tractor with the 22 HP Briggs V-Twin got the little JD branded filter at about eight hours. The next two changes saw a Wix 51348. Since then it has been Fram Tough Guard 3614. Originally this was a seasonal change but now I am changing the filter every other season...

If HPL Premium Plus were not available then Mobil1 EP would be my next choice. Just a humorous twist on your question...

So you have changed the oil on this car over 80 times? Amazing!

Thanks - I am definitely seeing what you are seeing from an external perspective.

M1-103A for the 2023 Prius. Made in Vietnam. The construction looks to be far better than any Fram. The center tube has round holes as opposed to louvers. Let me know if I've missed anything in terms of filter discussions. The 2023 Prius is sitting at 51.2K miles or 4K miles more than when...

Welcome to the forum but please be warned that it can be a slippery slope. I originally joined to find an alternative oil filter for my riding mower. That progressed to UOAs and extended drain intervals. Now my cars are all getting HPL Premium Plus... Who knows where this may end?

I had a similar experience with my one and only set of OEM Pirellis. No matter what they did in terms of rotations and balancing they were never quite right. In my case it was more on an annoyance level thing so I just scrapped the tires at an early age and never looked back. Top on my list...

Stopped in at Two Rivers on the way home from Northern New Hampshire today. After eight hours behind the wheel it was time for a beer. Available salad toppings include the usual chicken or shrimp as well as a fried egg or the half pound hamburger patty shown here.

I like https://www.tworiversbrewing.com/ in nearby Easton. https://diner248.com/ is pretty good to if you are coming in from the north down PA-33.

I revisited this today after 46 days and 875 miles on the oil. I wish I had taken a photo of the new filter as the pleat spacing wasn't very impressive. Note how dark the oil is already after so few miles. I anticipate having 2000 miles on the oil by Sunday evening.

I've been a long term fan of M1 EP. My daily driver is currently at 16k miles and 21 months on a fill of 0w-20 M1 EP. I am experimenting with HPL Premium Plus for now. 0w-30 in the 2016 Honda Accord 2.4 liter and 0w-20 in the 2017 Prius V. More 0w-20 is on deck for my daily driver Ford C-Max...

Just run Ethanol free fuel and call it a day. I've been running E0 for the last 5-7 years with no issues. Currently I have some 50:1 2-cycle fuel that was mixed using 89 octane E0 18 moths ago and my Stihl toys are still running well with it. Earlier today I filled a 20 liter Jerry Jug with...
