    0W20 vs 0W30

    We all start out as amateurs in the beginning. BITOG is a good place to grow thick skin..one should learn what they can from here and pay no attrention to the rest except for the entertainment value.

    0W20 vs 0W30

    I choose oil based on the worst of times...not the best of times. Its like this...oil runs a little low on the stick cause there are other things to occupy ones time.

Pole was replaced but the ground rod was loose in ground along with dry dirt it was in. The ground by the box in basement was rotted off and the pole trany is a long way away. If...

    Any plumbers here? How to stop this from leaking?

    It probably is a polypropylene trap..not pvc. Just get it dry then slobber in some pipe dope on everything, tighten and clean off excess. I have in a pinch used pvc cement. It wont actually stick to the PP but it wont leak either.
