I get a kick out of posts like this one. Somehow people think they discovered a situation that has been around for years, then act like it just happened. I posted about high oil consumption in my wifes Chevy equinox about 7 years ago, And what Chevy said what they were going to do about it. They...

Dexos isn't a rating. It a approval from GM. Check any voa or uoa, and you will not find any ingredient named Dexos.,,

Many moons ago I needed a way to put lower unit oil in my boats lower unit. I went to my local marine store and they had a pump setup that would screw onto a qt bottle of oil. It screwed into the drain hole, then when it was full, oil dribbled out the top vent hole. I cant see why that wouldn't...

Buy it with confidence, At least you'll know it hasn't been abused by it's previous owner. But what does it do if it has to be recharged on the way to your house?.,,

I use the NADA/ JD Powers book for vehicle values, because it's easy to access. What I have found thru the years it is pretty much on the mark. It asks for your zip code, which I thought was strange. I mean a car or motorcycle should be worth the same wither it's sold in New York or California...

And having the ability to not be photographed while doing that, is pretty amazing.,,

I'm sure car mfgrs thought about building cars that last forever, then said to themselves if we did that our sales would fall to 0. We wouldn't make anything. Selling cars that anyone can fix would put dealerships out of business. No dealership service needed = no need to be in business. How...

What would all the vehicle manufactures do, if they built cars that lasted forever? . The price of a car that would never wear out would cost a big fortune. Vehicle manufactures build vehicle they believe will be used in the manner in which they were intended. Not raced at tracks,or overloaded...

I said it before and I'll say it again, Believe who and what you want.,,,

Testing and seeing what works in a lab situation is alot different that real world testing. In my real world situations, I've changed oil in alot of engines, used just about every brand of oil sold in more than a few auto stores, and some not sold in auto stores. I don't really care if people...

Boy, money is a funny thing. The main reason you want money is to pay for things, so you work for it. You don't work for debit or credit, you work for cash. The people that sell you anything expect some form of payment, usually it's money in exchange for their product or service. It even says on...

I agree that people that are convicted of a given crime should pay some type of penalty. Jails everywhere are overcrowded, so that means new jails would need to be built. That costs money, so where do you think the powers that be are going to get that money?. So, who's in favor of paying more...

Here's my experience with oil filters. I worked for a company for 16 years. I had my own service vehicle where I was charged with oil changes and repairs. I didn't do them personally, but had them done in my friends garage. He used champion filters. I would run the vans up to the 200k range...

let me ask you something. If this "Oil Expert" claimed he has the formula for an oil that will last 50 thousand miles in your vehicle between changes and doesn't require frequent testing, would you use it?. So in your vehicles lifetime it may only need 4-5 changes, would you use it?. And the...

A couple years ago I dropped my Road King while playing around in a parking lot doing slow speed maneuvers. I'm guessing it weighed about 730-750 pounds. I've picked up bikes in the past, but this time I was concerned. I had my right knee replaced a few years earlier, and my left knee has a...

It might be Harley's way of changing things without really changing much. To get younger new riders to buy something they already have. Or, they have noticed sales are slowing down on what some call, "the same old thing every model year". My bike's a '06 and I have no plans on buying any new...

It says here they're still making the Road King.,, https://liberty-hd.com/showroom

Years back I was given a GE electric dryer by my sister. That she had for about 25 years. It lasted me 20 years. I had to change a few belts, and 1 heating coil. Nowadays my newer washer and dryer have cheap door switches, which fail after a short while. I even changed out a capacitor in our...

Didn't Honda put a DCT trans on their Goldwing in 2018 , while still offering a 5 speed manually shifted model ?.,,,

Go to your local used car lot and read mileages for yourself.,
