    Project Farm is objective and honest. It’s all you can ask.

    E10 in Garden Tractor?

    You can use E10 if you are burning through it. It doesn’t store well even with StaBil or Startron. I pay more and use real gas.

    Oil changes -natural gas engine

    Run it 20 minutes or so each month to get it in heat cycle and spin the brushes. Natural gas as clean a burn as you can get. I’d probably go 3-5 years before changing oil if that’s all you do. If you end up at DEFCON 1 and actually operate it for emergency, I’d default to draining the oil at...

    OZ Tuned 2014 Cruze Diesel (Opel A20DTH) - RLI Biosyn HD SHP 10w30 - 13K Mile OCI

    Just wondering why you are "slowly pushing" you OCI to 15K? Oil is cheap insurance especially in an engine like yours that has been tweaked and is essentially unable to source parts. The out of pocket $ difference between a 15K change vice as 7500 mile change may be twice as much for the parts...

    Octane boosters?????

    Why are you buying an octane booster at all? What does your engine require? A higher octane in an 87 rated engine is a detriment, at least to your wallet. You may want to consider an additive if you keep that stuff in your tank more than 30 days. Alcohol separation is a real thing.

    Does anyone run 5w30 in new Honda?

    Nope. Use the factory spec which is, contrary to another poster, a requirement, not merely a recommendation or suggestion. If you’re under warranty (or not) and have an engine issue, how much would you like to bet Honda won’t do an oil sample and do labs on viscosity? And, if that oil is out of...

    AT Tire for 2wd Truck

    Had good luck with Cooper Adventurer A/T on my 04 Chev Silverado 2WD. They are available at PepBoys. My son likes them so much he’s on his second set on his 14 Silverado 4x4. You’ll get good tire wear, reasonable quiet, fine hardtop road traction in wet and dry, and get a little bite on those...

    Debating on a newer Manufactured / "Mobile" Home ... A Doublewide

    I wouldn’t do it. Asking for issues. I’d consider buying one new as a seasonal getaway place if it was set up properly on a concrete pad or, better, a full foundation that provides basement space. There is no downrange value to them due to depreciation. If you’re set on this, get a real...

    Is anyone running Chevron Delo XSP 5w-40 yet in a gas turbo car?

    I use it in my diesel car, a 2015 MB Bluetec 2.1 with 101K miles that calls for MB Spec 228.51 which this oil attains. It works fine on a 7500 mile change cycle but I have upped my frequency to 5k miles. Recent oil analysis shows I'm good probably for a 10k change but I'm very finicky...

    Relevance of changing the oil filter every OCI

    Do what you feel is best. I feel a new filter at every change is cheap insurance.

    Anything better than a CX5 out there, yet?

    I’d run it until you can’t stand it. Cars way too expensive now. No margin to dicker. Chip shortage to blame.

    Super Tech vs all others....

    Good oil. But, 20k? Nuh uh. No more than 10k regardless of brand, and it better have a premium Wix or Purolator filter that is rated for extended change. I prefer a 5k change because in my world oil and filters are cheap insurance. Grease is cheaper than steel.

    4-cycle fuel for lawn mower question

    Pump ethanol free all the time. It costs .60-.80 premium over E-10. Worth it for the small engines and my motorcycle. No carb gumming, no separation. Ez.

    Sears Spectrum who makes it?

    Chevron made it for at least the Rocky Mountain and Far Western states. Lived in many, all of the cases were labeled from Chevron.
