2020 Yamaha Viking 2,614 miles and 524.4 hours Out: unknown oil/interval, OEM filter In: Rotella T6 5w40 and a Fram TG7317 I also greased it and changed the front and rear differential fluid with Yamalube 80w90 I’ve been using my oil extractor to change the oil on these 700’s and it seems to...

I put about 2 hours on my new generator from Sam’s Club tonight. It’s an A-ipower XOS2300i, I caught it on sale at Sam’s for $350, they have them in store all the time for $399. It’s actually way quieter than I thought it would be, it’s not Honda quite but it’s not as loud as the generac ix2000...

I really like the 17-19 Duramax trucks. They’re kind of the last true to form Duramax’s, in my opinion. They’ve still got the 6 speed Allison. The L5P Duramax has the Denso HP4 injection pump, so you don’t have to worry about the problematic CP4 like the older trucks. The fuel filter is easy to...

2017 Chevy 3500 L5P Duramax 52,067, 2,763.6 Hours OLM @ 13% OCI: 3,994 miles, 237.9 hours (6-11-24 to 4-21-25) Out: Delvac Extreme 15w40, PF2232 In: Delvac Extreme 15w40, PF2232 I also changed the fuel filter (TP1015), ATF (drain and fill, 7.4 quarts) and spin-on trans filter (29539579)...

2017 Chevy 3500 L5P Duramax 52,067 miles, 2,763.6 Hours Out: Factory fill ATF, Allison spin-on filter In: 7.4 quarts of Starfire Full Synthetic Dexron VI, Allison spin-on filter.

I’ve been running T6 5w40 in my wet clutch Yamahas for over a decade with no issues. I’ve ran T4 15w40 a few times without issues as well.

We’ve got 3 of them, a 2014, a 2016 6 seater and a 2020. They’ve all been good. I worry a little about the middle drive gear failing, but so far we haven’t had any issues. I just put a SPAL fan on the 2014 and new parking brake pads. Other than that it hasn’t really needed anything as far as...

2014 Buick Verano (2.4 Ecotec) 68,113 miles Out: ^ (OLM @ 0%) In: VRP 5w30, Fram CH9018 OCI: 6,310 miles, 10/6/2023 to 2/22/2025 I did another drain and fill (4.5 quarts) on the transmission with synthetic Dexron VI. This is the third D&F on this car, spread out over the last three oil changes...

I’m using these on my TimberWolf: https://a.co/d/i7oSQhm

The Genmax finally showed up on Thursday. Initial impressions are good. I added oil, connected the battery and filled it up with gas, I pushed the start button and it fired up almost instantly. I was surprised at how quiet it is, especially with low idle on. So far I’ve only put 1.4 hours on it...

Genmax GM7500iAED generator with 1.4 hours on it. This is the first oil change on this brand new generator. There was a good bit of glitter in the oil, I’ll be doing several more short oil changes with the 10w30 Supertech I bought for it. After I feel like it’s well broken in I may put some...

I 100% agree and I can get by on a smaller generator for the most part, but sometimes I just need a little more power. My house is 100% electric, no propane or natural gas for a backup. On the 9 day outage we had, my house was down to almost freezing temps by the 4th day or so, we hooked the big...

I have a much larger (40kw) tractor pto driven generator that can easily power my whole house, just not through a 50 amp inlet (the pto generator does have a 14-50 receptacle though). I can drag the Genmax out and run the basics in a short term outage. It’s big enough to run a water heater or...

I ordered the 7,500/6,000 watt version from Sam’s Club. It’s supposed be here tomorrow. I’m in the process of installing a 50 amp generator inlet and an interlock on the house. I really like having a 14-50 outlet on a generator this size. If it holds up good, I might order another one and the...

For whatever it’s worth, a friend of mine has an MS250. It’s a pretty decent saw. We took it camping about a month ago at over 8,000 ft of elevation and it ran well without having to make any carburetor adjustments. We live at under 1,000 ft. We cut up and split enough fire wood to keep us warm...

Technically the Pennzoil says “suitable for use”, not “meets or exceeds”. I’m sure it would be absolutely fine, but I’m not sure where it would leave you as far as warranty goes if you were to encounter a problem.

I vote for the VP Racing as mentioned above, Tractor Supply always has it in stock at my store. If not the VP, Home Depot has a 16oz bottle of Red Armor that makes 6 gal for reasonable. I personally run Red Armor in all of my 2 stroke stuff, but I’ve heard a lot of good things about the VP mix...
