    Amsoil 10w30 MCT versus Mobil 1 AFE 0w30

    I should hazard a guess that the miles of use on these samples render the test statistically insignificant. Not uninteresting mind you, but a bit more use might allow some statements to be able to be made. Like most, I seek out an affordable oil that will reasonably protect my expensive engines...

    "Power Saver" Fraud!

    Our two new splits work in exactly the same fashion. And they were still 'making' heat down to -24 degrees recently. Very efficient inverter units. The gas furnace rarely has to come on. John.

    Biodiesel using E85

    Cool. No E85 'round these parts... John.

    Mini 14 Ranch Rifle

    I've had a SS Ranch model since ~'93 or '94. Put a 1-5X Simmons Whitetail scope & a folder on it. Beyond reliable & prefers 55gr to 62gr fodder. It will never be sold. Neither will the M-14 in 7.62mm. Nice to have both of them! John.

    T6 5w40 for SnowKing 8hp ?

    I've used T6 in the past. Using T5 or PU 10w-30 from now on, though. I hear Sno-Kings are happiest on a thirty weight oil as opposed to a forty. So I stopped using T6. Oh yeah, also use GC as well. I can't see T6 being bad for a cleaning cycle. Others might have more to add. John.

    A-10s headed back to Europe.

    I guess that you can't say All-h but you can type God. Same thing. How silly is that?

    A-10s headed back to Europe.

    I think that this is great. About as survivable as anything this side of a P-47 or Sea Fury... While the mission is terribly important as we all recognise, the spectre of captured pilots is daunting. Rip the bast--ds to shreds & come home to your families, inch'[censored]. John.

    Is Delo 400 LE 5W30 a good oil for every engine?

    Yup, T5 & call it a day. What I do. John.

    Tread depth gauges

    The Milton is what is used for law enforcement & it's good enough for me! Cheap at twice the price. John.

    Second World War 'Black Devils'

    My great uncle Douglas Knowles fought w/ them for the duration. The ignominious manner in which the unit was summarily disbanded was an insult to the men & a travesty in general. One Doug went overseas & a completely different Doug returned. His wounds were not visible. Rest in peace Uncle Doug...

    Officer Wilson to not be federally charged

    "Break the law and you may get caught. Get caught and you may pay a price. The price you pay may be your life, as the officer is not obligated to forego his for yours." I like that! Nicely said. John.

    Post Your Latest (Motorcycle) Oil Change!

    I put the FJR to sleep w/ a sump full of very old, Delvac 1 5W-40 that was idled up to check sump level only. Fresh oil, 91 octane, ethanol-free fuel, red Stabil, small amount of synthetic injector oil (very small) along w/ small amount of some Seafoam. Ran that long enough to get circulated to...

    is .357 mag the best defense round?

    I opted for a Model 638 a looong time ago. It's the +P rated gun. I love it but it is punishing. Shot the DAO 642 (? I think that's the model# ?) in .357 once. That is much less fun than a 4" .44 Magnum Model 629 I also shot. And as you mentioned, no real point in doing so given the nature of...
