Wth 1/4" fittings you don't need a valve fitting to pump up tires. You just use the end of the hose,as long as the valve on the tire is long enough to reach the inside of the hose. You just use the hose fitting itself and push it over the valse stem. Little trick I learned after having lost...

Originally Posted By: DrDave Greetings: In my Sportster I changed from 15-40 to 10-30 oil. I have UOA data for each oil. The 10-30 showed significantly lower wear metals. I don't see how that comports with your theory. I would be interested in Larry's comments as well. Dave You are aware...

Originally Posted By: AZjeff People who think a quart in 2K usage is OK for a low mileage car most likely don't own one. Unacceptable. I'm not saying it's right however if the oem claims it's acceptable what can a person really do. I do find it brutal that the op was barely in the...

Originally Posted By: Shannow Clevy, just like engine oils, there's no "50W", just this set use the same "seconds through the viscometer" that gave us out 20, 30, 40, and 50 grade engine oils. The specs are tighter for TO-4 than for SAE J300, i.e. So don't think that an engine oil can take...

If I didn't have to pay for oil it would be redline all the way. You're wrong about amsoil. Everything about them is marketing fluff. Sure they make a decent oil however it costs double,and no way is it twice as good. I'm not really a Mobil fan however they too make a great product...

The only thing I've read/heard was that the jeep 4.0 engines and Subaru are noisy with m1,other than that I've got nothing. Our members here with jeeps seem to like pyb. From what I've read here it's the flavour favorite. I use a different oil for basically every oil change. A couple times...

Originally Posted By: dishdude A new car shouldn't need multiple quarts of top off between ocis. You can't blame the driver for that. It doesn't mean one shouldn't check. It's part of basic maintenance. Even if the engine wasn't an oil burner a person still needs to check whether coolant is...

They charge you for the iPhone hotspot. Wow. Anyways I cut the cord about a year ago and in no way do I miss not having and paying for cable. I've got both an android box and my Apple TV. But I'm not tethered to my phone. I have used the hotspot countless times for my boy and I to use our...

I think this all boils down to improper break in. Subaru is having so many issues they should sell them pre-broken in. I'd bet it saves them tons of grief. But let's get serious here. Some idiot says she had to add 4 quarts of oil. Is she a retard? Do these people buy a new vehicle and not...

I've got roughly 10000 feet of hose for work. The polyurethane ones are the best,regardless of name brand. Old school rubber is fine in a shop where it not going to get caught up but onsite they suck. If running any impact tools a 3/8 I/D is what you want. Moves more volume of air faster. If...
