I’ll add another vote for a new Echo. We bought a new Echo CS-590 “Timber Wolf” in December of 2022, it’s been great. If you want a more ‘premium’ saw, the CS-620 (additional link) has a few upgrades over the 590, but it’s about $200 higher. I really don’t have any complaints with the CS-590...

I generally fill mine when the low def message shows up on the dash. I have a gas station close by with a DEF pump, so I just refill as needed. The only exception is if I’m getting ready to leave on a long road trip, I’ll top it off before I leave so I don’t have to worry about it on the road...

MF ZT33 (815.7 hours) OCI: 213.5 hours (4/17/21 to 9/30/24) Out:^ In: Rotella T4 15w40, XG4967 I also changed the coolant with Chevron Delo ELC. This is the second antifreeze change since it was new. I used my oil extractor to change the oil this time, I pulled the drain plug when it quit...

Generac iX2000 Out: Mobil 1 5w30 EP In: Rotella T4 15w40 Honda EU2000i Out: unknown In: Rotella T4 15w40 We lost power yesterday around noon. I got our Generac iX2000 (bought new in January of 2013) out and ran our two deep freezers and refrigerator on it last night for about 4 hours and then...

I’m putting a new water pump, fan clutch, serpentine belt and belt tensioner in a 1997 John Deere 6300. It’s also getting a new return fuel line and the injector tee seals replaced. I also bought a valve cover gasket for it. I’m gonna change the hydraulic fluid and filters while it’s in the...

I’ve used this in Dex III applications with good results. Any TES 295 or TES 668 fluid would serve you well, in my opinion. I use Supertech Mercon V in all of my Toyota power steering systems, which is also suitable for use in Dex III applications

At around 14 minutes they talk about it.

I killed one in a month… it just died while inflating a tire with it set to 40 psi. It was pumping along nicely and then suddenly it sounded like the pump and motor were no longer connected, the motor suddenly sounded like it was spinning freely and the tire pressure stopped increasing, it...

I’m looking at one of these to replace my craftsman digital (non angle) clicker torque wrench that I bought in 2012. The craftsman still works fine but it takes three of those LR44 button cell batteries. Does anybody here have the Quinn in the 1/2” or 3/8” model? Love it? Hate it? Should I look...

Going in a 2014 Buick Verano with the 2.4 Ecotec.

I like to change fairly early to get some break in wear out. My brothers 2010 Tacoma had like 43k when I did his for the first time. The rear diff fluid looked like new, but the front diff fluid was nasty. I ran some cheap 80w90 in the front for a couple short changes and then put synthetic...

I’ve been using Mercon V in a 2007 (no longer own) and 2010 Tacoma and a 2016 4Runner for years. I suck out the reservoir at every oil change and refill. I’ve tried several different ATFs, including Maxlife and I like Mercon V the best. I used to use Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF in my 2007 Tacoma, but...

I had a Duralast CV break in a 3500 Duramax, dad’s truck…. he accidentally left it in 4x4 and made a tight turn on blacktop... The boot ripped when the CV let go. I think it lasted 20 something thousand miles, I didn’t even bother getting it warrantied…. brand new OEM went in. It was user error...

2004 GMC 2500HD w/ 6.0/4L80e

Early in its life, up until about 40k miles it was getting 5k oil changes, which usually worked out to about once a year. It used to do a lot of highway and hardly any short trips (up until about 2016), but now it does a lot of short trips and idling. I’ve been aiming for an annual oil change...

It’s had M1 EP for most of its life. My parents bought this Tacoma new. It’s had I think 2 runs of Valvoline Modern engine 5w30 a couple years ago that I got for next to nothing on clearance. I’ve done most if not all of the oil changes on this truck. It may have had a couple of free oil changes...

Alright… I caved and bought some VRP at Walmart last night. I’m about 1,500 miles and about 3 months into a run of 5w30 M1 EP HM. VRP is going in at the next oil change with an OEM filter. This is a 4.0 V6 2010 Tacoma with ~62K miles. I may go ahead and dump the M1 fairly soon. I have an...

We’ve got a Stihl KM 90 R that’s a 2010 model, other than replacing the primer bulb last year, it’s been flawless too. It’s been used hard in some really big stuff and hasn’t given us any issues.
