Well it looks as the rubber industry “tires” are being affected by the pandemic. Some of you probably know this I’m sure somehow I didn’t. Anyway back in 2019 I bought a new tandem 18 foot trailer to haul my Polaris side by side and fourwheelers on. Up until a month ago it has went maybe 10...

Very possible. If so they really beefed up the design. Wonder if they went with metal end caps?

I read a couple of threads that the AC Delco filters at the dealers are different then the ones you get at the part store. I never believed it and always thought it was just the dealer trying to upsell filters. Fast forward to today. I was at the Chevy dealer getting my silverado serviced. I...

Just food for thought. My local sheriffs department began the transition from ford explorers to Chevy Tahoe’s. Small County and we have a ford dealer but the closest gm dealer is an hour away. Ford dealer agreed to do maintenance on the Chevys. Higher ups told the technicians use whatever you...

I’d just crawl back under and crack the drain plug and let a little out. Always run it for a few minutes after an oil change and let it set before checking it. That way your filter gets full and then add from there. Either way not a big deal

She made it this long so apparently it’s a good oil. I’d keep running it

The girlfriend has a 2018 Honda Civic with 35,000 miles. She has always taken it to a quick lube place to get serviced much to my dismay. She had an oil leak so I put it on the lift in my garage to check it out. They cranked down the oil filter with looks like a pair of Vice grips and put a...

I have always used Wagner severe duty’s on my silverado. I tow with it and they seem to hold up longer then the basic ones from the parts store

I have a 2000 silverado 1500 that just turned 141k miles. Great running truck. While doing the maintenance today I was thinking about changing the differential fluid. I have had the truck for 8 years and it’s never been done by me. Quite possibly it’s never been done I’m not sure. If it has...

Mobil 1 is a fine oil. I have found for some reason in the past couple years atleast in my area the vehicle brand oil ie Motorcraft is cheaper then most others so that’s what I have been using. Any quality oil of the correct weight will work just fine though.

There goes the small engine repair shops. Well I guess they could transition from engine repair to engine sells.

Over the holiday weekend I had to purchase a pressure washer due to my old one being 25 years old and finally gave up. I ended up buying a pretty nice one on sale at Lowe’s with the Briggs and Stratton engine. Unpacked it, put the oil from the little container they send with it and all was good...

Tolerance in engines today are a lot tighten then 20 years ago. I never really done extended drain intervals. Some do but to me I stick with the 5k mile or 6 month oci. Mainly because I do such short trips every day less then 3 miles to and from work and around town so at the end of 6 months my...

Tell him if it’s using oil like that dump the amsoil and just run the cheap stuff that meets spec. Save some cash

I usually just drop mine off at a local shop a couple miles out the road from me. I think another local agricultural equipment dealer gets it from him for their oil furnace in the winter. I do usually keep a gallon around though. I put up a new deck last summer and painted the oil onto the 4x6...

2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 4.8. My dad bought it with 3 miles on it fall of 99. It was passed onto me so I figured might as well keep taking it to the dealership to get serviced. Has always just had their bulk oil which it is now using the 5w30 dexos and delco filters. The truck has been used to...

I think 3k is a little excessive for any synthetic personally. If i were going to do 3k I would just run conventional

5000 mile Or 6 month is what I follow. I get the dealership oil and filters from a independent shop in my area since my dealer is still vet an hour away. I get it cheap enough from him that I can justify the cost of changing oil more frequent. Could I go 7000+ miles or one year? I’m sure I...

Dealership bulk oil and dealership filters will do just fine. Just change it a little early
